240 cranking well, not starting - suggestions, anyone? 200

I have a 1986 240DL wagon with 300,000 miles.

It refused to start a few days ago and, looking under the hood, I observed the ground cable from battery to engine block had parted. Thinking that must be the problem I replaced the cable but failed to solve the starting problem.

I can hear the fuel pump running for a moment after I shut off the key, and I've checked the fuse between the battery positive and the electric system.

Suggestions, anyone?

Thanks in advance for your advice.
