just prior to this no start condition, it had an intermittent no start for a couple of days.

I've replaced the crankshaft position sensor. I used a timing light to verify all 8 cylinders were sparking. I used a noid light and found 7 of the 8 poisitions were getting a good signal. The 8th one was weak. The fuel pressure is 62psi when the pump is running and 59psi when it stops. The fuel pressure drops to 56psi when the engine is being cranked.

The battery has been checked and it's fine. Even a jump from my Superduty didn't help. The engine just turns over like it's supposed to but the engine will not fire.

Thinking I was throwing money at it, I replaced the distributor cap and rotor button. Now the thing starts.
