1984 no start

1984 no start was created by lrpman
Started 100% fine this am, drove to parts house, started, stopped at bank to look at a car for sale and NO START
Dumped a cap full of fuel into the intake and STARTED
Drove home, put in the garage and WILL NOT START.
Fuel tank is FULL less 14 miles of driving.
MY GUESS would be the cold start injector IF IT HAS ONE.
ALL the main injectors, fuel hoses, fuel pump are NEW
STUMPED!!

OK so we think we know that your car needs more fuel when warm.
I would check the manual (i can't speak to an 84) and see if it has a cold start injector. Some one who has an similar year may speak up.
Also make sure that there are no split hoses or air leaks that would cause a lean condition.
The part that makes this hard is engines need more fuel cold and less fuel hot.
hot intakes and fuel system tends to vaporize the fuel, in a component, before it enters the combustion chamber.
That makes it act like a cooling system Rad air lock, then is starves for fuel.
I dont think this is your problem as you have new everything and the car was not that hot, or was it.
Make sure it is not something like the fuel pump relay overheating, and it may have just cooled enough when you primed the intake with extra fuel.
It is very easy to get fooled by more then one problem.
Verify everything 2 or 3 times.

Check for a bad ground connection for the Temp II sensor
Are you close to any of these people

When you turn the key to the "accessory" position, you should hear the fuel pump run for a moment, can you confirm the pump is running?
Could be the Fuel Pump Relay.
Could also be the Fuel Pump Check Valve.

I would also check the TTS and Temp II sensor, WSM 24-17 has the procedure outlined on testing the sensors which you can find on line
These couple things should only take a few minuets to check and do not require tearing into anything yet, easy checks.
