No spark turns over but won't start
V6 engines have a "waste spark" design-one coil fires the plug on 2 cylinders.You can test the coils by reading across the plug wire "towers".You should get roughly the same readings on each coil(I think it was about 9 ohms,but it has been a while).If they read about the same,you could remove the coils and put a 12v test light across the primary(low voltage)terminals,you should get a flashing light when you crank it.If no light,see if you are getting injector pulse(a "noid" light is a test light for this purpose,you could rig a small Christmas tree light bulb to the injector plug as a substitute).If you aren't getting primary voltage to the coilsor injector pulse,you could have a blown fuse or bad crank sensor.

try your ignition module in the distributor much more likely. just install rebuilt distributor if that is the problem , if you just replace module the main distributor assem will **** out shortly after.
Make sure you check for broken timing belt also it is one of those two!

this vehicle is equipped with a factory anti theft system if when you try to start the engine and the anti theft light is on then the starter won't start even if your check engine light is not on you would have to scan the body module to pin point the problem to see if it's the anti theft system or the starter, go to a auto parts store like auto zone or pep boys or western auto these store offer free scanning to there customers. if this information has been helpful please let use know good luck

is your check engine light on ? if not check the fuel filter it may be plugged. it is also possible that your fuel pressure is low, is it start it then it bogs and dies, for you may have a defective idle air mixture solenoid, this will not call up a code there for no check engine light, hope this helps , let me know good luck

Problem is in the vaccum feed pipe (Cracked) or the actual control panel.

Hello first of all
well i am sorry a mechanic cant figure this out its really sad. ok so your problem is your either one of two things but most likely the first one i list.
1. camshaft postion sensor
2. crankshaft postion sensor
Now that being said it most likely the camshaft sensor the reason i say that is when a crankshaft postion sensor is bad the car has very hard starts and most of the time no start issues. When a camshaft postion sensor is bad the car cuts off whil driving and can be hard to start up again.
So that being said they are both pretty cheap parts i would go ahead and replace them both and i would bet my 5 years as ford mechanic that solves your issue.
The crank postion sensor is located behind the harmonic balancer pully or right beside it here is a picture from autozone.com and description.
The crankshaft position sensor identifies position of the crankshaft to the ignition control module (ICM), engine control module (ECM) or powertrain control module (PCM).
And the camshaft sensor picture and info from autozone.com below.
The camshaft position sensor identifies position of the camshaft to the ignition control module (ICM), engine control module (ECM) or powertrain control module (PCM).
The crankshaft postion sensor is 22.99 and the cam is 19.99 so 50.00 bucks and about hours time should have you up and running.
PS if this helps please 4 thumbs up it helps me continue to help on here thanks
