Noises problem
1984 Ford Bronco Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I was driving along and heard a loud pop. Then my vehicle just died and quit running. It will not restart. Looking under the hood, everything looks okay. There is not anything leaking either. Tried to jump it, but it will not even start with a jump. What's wrong with this vehicle?

Do below to determine if its fuel or spark then comeback

Get a starting fluid or ether and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
