Acts like it wants to start, but won't.
Few things to look at . does the fuel pump come on when you turn the key to the start position? was the check engine light? do you know if you have spark? if you spray starter fluid in the throttle body will it start?
Triedbthe starter fluid and no go. No check engine light. how do I know if fuel pump comes on or not? The button in trunk is pushed in, so the emergency shut off iwas not tripped. It tries to turn over, but it just won't. Almost like it would if it was out of gas.
if you sprayed the starter fluid and it did not start, that is a no spark. now we need to find out why.. 2 things it can be. crank position sensor or the ignition coil
to check the fuel pump . you need 2 people . have someone in the back of the car and have some one turn the key to the start position but do not try to start it. you should hear the fuel go on
How do I check the crank sensor or the coil? sorry, but I have never worked on a car before other than replacing battery or headlight type stuff. : )
it is fine . please ask. that is what I am here for to help you. the crank position sensor can not be tested. the only thing is to see if there is power going to the sensor. the same for the coil. just need to see if there is power going to the coil. you need a 12 volt test light
I have a link to my garage on facebook. .i also sell used parts for car.facebook.com/Tedsusedautoparts.
Ok...I will check those things. Thank u
Don't hear a noise on fuel pump. Can this be a fues or relay that keep it from coming on. Just hoping I don't need a new fuel pump.
have you tried the reset fuel pump switch or the fuel pump relay
The fuel pump reset button is all the way pushed in already, so assuming it wasn't that. How do u reset the relay?
you can not reset the relay . just replace it . there are about 10 dollars at a part stores

Is there a way to check if it is bad or not? Reading stuff online & looks kinda scary..lol. Something about testing if the relay is getting 12 volts or not, then use jumper wire from a 12 volt battery. Sounds like more than I should even begin to attempt for a single mom w/no experience w/cars...haha
just switch the fuel pump relay with the fan relay. I can walk you through it. I have helped many here ,and most are on my facebook page
Omg! that's amazing. I will try it and let ya know if it worked. : )
if you want to you find me on facebook
Fuel pump is the issue. The whole tank has to be dropped and the video I watched showed 2 straps to undo and not seeing them? It was a video for a 99 Taurus and I have a Sable. I can't find anything on the sable.
they are the same cars. they are the car maker. both cars use the same parts

Is it cold out where you are at? does it have a block heater to plug it in ? also try a bottle of heat in your gas tank,if thats not the problem then your probably not getting fuel or spark,check to make sure your timing belt didnt brake or check your fuel pump if its working,you should be able to hear it when you turn your key on
