SOURCE: 2002 ford taurus won't start at first crank in the morning

remove the air filter housing from the throttle body, or if its mult-ported injection, remove the large air duct. Do this the night before. The next day, before cranking and having a spray can of carb. cleaner, spray a couple of shots of carb cleaner either into the large air duct, spray towards the engine, or if its single body injection, spray directly on to the throttle body.

Crank engine immediately, preferrably have some one else sitting in the car to start it after you spray.

If the car even tries to start, replace cold start relay.

Timing is everything. Try testing you PCM. It's the little gray box near the base of your distributor. If you have spark, and fuel at the rail (plus good fuel rail pressure) than the timing is your problem.

Check the pet-**** on the fuel rail assembly to make sure the fuel at the rail is under presure and getting to your injectors. Then again make sure you have spark, lastly you should be able to test the trouble codes to see if your PCM is the issue.
Goos luck.

SOURCE: 2001 ford taurus wont start

It could be bad plugs, plug wires, a bad ground will do this as well. Check to see if it has the three main things.

Spark
Air
Fuel

Anther common problem is the crank shaft speed sensor. It will cause it to not spark and not start.

SOURCE: motor stalls when driving then starts and stalls right away.

Replace the distributor's magnetic pickup located inside the distributor surrounding the distributor shaft, the only other thing thankfully on this ignition system if memory serves me on the f 150 straight six 300 cu inch is the dura spark ignition control box, of course do the obvious tune up parts replacement dist.cap rotor,plug , sparkplugs before spending the $40.00 - $50.00 bucks on the dist.. pick up, you may have a weak a fuel pump check for adequate fuel pressure at carb 7 - 10 lbs.

SOURCE: My 2000 ford contour wont start. Engine cranks,

Have you changed the fuel filter.

Your pump may be priming but the pressure could be against a clogged filter.

You might want to check the fuel pressur at the rail.
It might be a fuel pressure regulator problem

How do I locate the ground wire on a 03 ford f-150? the fuel pump has good presion and the sparks plugs are brand new but the engine wont start at all someone tell me its an electrical problem...help

If the pump has good pressure, I would make sure it had spark to the plugs. If you have individual coils for the plugs , I would go directly to the crank sensor. Having the codes read will point you in the right direction. But if you think it is a ground for the pump. find the wires for the pump, by the fuel tank, the black wire is the ground for the pump. Splice it and run it to the frame.

2002 ford zx2. I replaced the timing belt and the car is timed perfect but still wont start. Any suggestions?

Check for spark, if no spark check your crank position sensor, cam position sensor, plug wires, ignition coil, plugs properly gapped.

If you have good spark, check your fuel pressure, if good check your coolant temperature sensor.

Double check that you CORRECTLY aligned the marks on the timing belt, double overhead cam engines are more involved and require a specific procedure.

Car turns over but won't start. battery good, alternator about to be replaced, though alt. has nothing to do with the problem. what next?

it sounds like either your not getting spark, or fuel at the engine. it could be the coil packs/plug wires or the fuel pump/filter its hard to say what to do first. when you get in the car and turn the ignition on to the position just before turning the engine over you should be able to hear the fuel pump kick on in an attempt the prime the fuel system. if you can smell fuel at the engine after cranking for a few seconds its probably getting fuel. if you have access to an ohm meter with a wire clamp you can test each of your plug wires as you crank it to see if your getting spark. each coil pack sends spark through two plug wires. if you cant read a signal from two of the plug wires trace them back to the coil packs and if they go to the same coil pack that coil pack has gone bad. if they go to separate coil packs you may have two coil packs malfunctioning. this is where i would start i hope it helps.

2002 zx2 will not start after replacing fuel pump

don't rule out getting a bad replacement fuel pump. it sucks but it has happened to me twice. verify you still have a fuel problem by getting a can of starting fluid and open the air box, have someone spray into the side going to the engine while you are trying to start the engine. it should fire if the fuel pump is the problem. good luck

P0300 Engine Code Ford ZX2 2002 ZTEC dual over head cam engine. Has 107K miles. Has new plugs, Only thing I really notice is when I turn on AC the car seems to stumble at steady speeds, especially...

P0300 Random Misfire

Misfires can be caused by worn or fouled spark plugs, a weak spark (weak coil, bad spark plug wire), loss of compression, vacuum leaks, anything that causes an unusually lean fuel mixture (lean misfire), an EGR valve that is stuck open, dirty fuel injectors, low fuel pressure, or even bad fuel.

A Random Misfire code usually indicates a vacuum leak or bad gas.

NOTE: If a misfire in a specific cylinder should lead you to check the spark plug, fuel injector and compression.

Turn key, cranks but no fuel still after new pump.

every key cycle(5 secs appart) will turn pump on for 3 seconds.This is done to insure pressure at the injector when cranking,otherwise hard starting would insue.The engine computer drives a relay in the underhood junction box which sends 12 volts to the pump.An audible click of that relay and the pump can be heard key on/engine off for 3 secs via the ignition signal to the ecm which drives the fuel pump relay.
