I got the 454 98. I have plenty of fuel and spark and power. It is just not firing up. Had a guy do a compression test and it was pretty damn low in all cylinders he is going to do a wet test to see what kind of information that will provide. The day this happen I was heading to work and came to a red light and then it died on me, I was able to get it to start again and off the road but it ran like sh**.

Any ideas on what to check would be greatly appreciated because I am hoping my motor isn't screwed but it's looking to be.

History of it before this happened?

What is the actual fuel pressure? Even something stupid low like 10psi will shoot plenty of fuel in your eye at the test port but isn't enough to run the engine.

Was compression test done with the throttle blade blocked open? If not, re-do.
