Did you check the pressure at the rail?
If the pressure is within range, check that there is a good spark at the plugs.

SOURCE: fuel and spark/turns over but wont start

you don't say if it wants to start, if it tries, if it does, maybe an issue with exhaust gas reculation system stuck open. OR dirty or clogged fuel nozzels.

SOURCE: 98 ford explorer wont start theft light on while

It sounds like the vehicle is in theft mode,did you use a different key? Does the theft light blink really fast with the key off?If the passive anti-theft system has been activated the computer will have to be reset in order to get the vehicle running again.

SOURCE: wont start

I have the same problem. There is an updated p.c.m. that controles the injecter pulse widthas at lower pulse. First replace your fuel filter(the check valve is stuck returning fuel back to the tand and letting minimal fuel to the engine. Next look at your coolant temp. senser and make sure it is not corroded it is vital that the senser give perfect input or the vehicle will run lean or rich. Try these before buying the updated computer. My truck run, great after i replaced these items, I know it is frustrateing it pissed me off because ther where no codes in the p.c.m. period

Try replacing the fuel filter. These sometimes can be instantly clogged with no warning.

Car won't start. Ran out of gas. Added gas. Still no start. Checked fuel line to distributor rail...no gas. How to resolve...?

Possible fuel pump failure. Gasoline is used to cool and lubricate the in tank fuel pump. Running a vehicle out of fuel is not good for the pump. Try banging on the tank with your fist while someone cranks the vehicle over. If the vehicle starts or tries to start, suspect a fuel pump problem

What should be my next step car wont start has spark

On top of the engine there is a fuel rail (some time it is rigid black plastic) that supplies fuel to the injectors. On the rail there will be a valve core cap (like on your car tire) under the cap is a valve core. Push it in.If gas sprays out, it means you have fuel pressure. If it does not spray out, check your fuel pump relay and fuel pump fuses. If they are good, then probably a fuel pump. Need proper tools to verify it though. I know this may sound stupid to ask, but it does have gas in the tank right?

I got a 2000 ford focus that cranks but don't starts, fuel pressure is good, good spark but spark plugs are pretty worn out can that cause it to do that?

You only need three things to start an engine.
1) Clean Fuel / Air
2) Compression
3) Spark

One of these is not working correctly. The fuel pressure is good, but the fuel line, fuel filter, injectors, or carb may be dirty or clogged. If the gas has been sitting for a long time, or could have water in it, there is potential for the gas to be gummed up, and it wont ignite. Start with clean, new gas, line, filter, and if it still wont start, move on to the #2, #3 items from the list above.
Move through the troubleshooting systematically.
Remember, you only need 3 things to get it to run!

Good luck

Ford Focus SE 2002 wont start, no smell of it flooding?

If it was the fuel pump it wouldnt move at all but you can test the pressure on the fuel rail on top of the motor. Have you changed the fuel filter?

Where is the fuel rail sensor on 2005 ford focus

My engine light came off I got those codes because my car was stalling because of the fuel lines not getting fuel and plus put in good gas like the middle one will help regulate the bad gas...i have ford focus 2005 zx3 and got the fuel sensor regulator out of junkyard and now it's fine no engine light...you must disconnect battery so while changing it will reset...then go to the top of your engine look for the fuel sensor regulator right in the middle unplug remove two screws pull up but put something underneath so the fuel won't go underneath replace then connect battery and done..

Ford focus 2.0 tdci c max engine cut out wont start recovery man thinks it is problem with fuel system low preasure how do i check

if there is a Shrader valve on the fuel rail you need to hook a fuel pressure tester up to it. if not then you need a scan tool to monitor pressure or an inline pressure tester. should be 35-50 psi
