I was wandering if anyone can help me? I have a stock 5.0 87 LX, and when I go to start it,it sounds like it's not getting enough gas and it will act like it is going to start, but it will quit. I just changed the throttle positioning sensor. That was'nt it, so if anyone could tell me the problem. I would appreciate it very much.

When you turn the key on acc, not starting the car, do you hear the fuel pump kick on? After the car is running, do you still constantly hear the fuel pump running? Did you replace the sensor under the driver seat?

Mandy, clogged injector(s)? dirty air filter? fouled plug(s)? It could be one of many things!
