I am lost as last years easter egg, and clueless how to go about finding my way through this post. I have a 1988 D250 dodge with 360. I have a will crank but wont start problem. I so need to find the source of my problem, desperately,

As a first step, check for fault codes stored in the computer per these instructions:

What year did the 360 get a computer?

I don’t think a 1988 D250 is going to give fault codes. It might, but only some engines had the throttle body injection and could give fault codes. Others still used a carburetor and did not give codes.

I’d start with basic diagnostics. Pull a spark plug and check for spark. If you have spark, see if it will start and run a second or two with a shot of starter fluid sprayed down the carb/throttle body.

The 318 in my Grandpa's last D150 had TBI. Should've been an 88. It had better acceleration than Dad's 87 heavy half with a 360 carbureted. The 360 didn't get a TBI until the 89s came out. Mopar LA Series V8 Engines: 318, 340, 360, and 273
