MY CAR ONLY STARTS WHEN THE FUEL CAP LIGHT POPS UP BRIEFLY

WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY AND THE FUEL CAP LIGHT IS NOT SHOWN IN THE INITIAL START THE CAR WILL NOT START, THERE IS NO NOISE ITS LIKE IF THE BATTER IS DEAD, BUT THE DASH LIGHTS AND RADIO PLAYS AND WHEN YOU LEAVE THE KEY IN THE ON POSITION AFTER A SHORT WHILE 45 SECONDS THE FUEL CAP LIGHT POPS UP FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS AND THE CAR WILL START. BUT IF THE INITIAL START WITH THE FUEL CAP LIGHT IS DISPLAYED THE CAR WILL START. DOES THIS MEAN I NEED A NEW FUEL CAP?

The fuel cap has nothing to do with the starting issue, but the fuel pump may.

SOURCE: 2005 ford taurus. Remote entry wont work theft light keeps blinking when key is engaged

HI, I'm reading your problem,
Let me explain something about your car.

2005 Ford Taurus, The key on that car has Chip inside of the key and receiver on the ignition switch,
Check if the key you are trying to use is Black and has a plastic head.
If not you need a key with that characteristics.
But if you have the right key, Remenber if you had drop on the floor, or hit with something,
Because some times they come damaged, with insignificat thins.
Remenber if you left the key close to a magnets like speakers.

If nothing aply at your case, you need to call a place Aloha Smith, they have the computer to program or reprogarm your key. IF not you can't start your car.

OK.. I hope this information work for you.

Thank's for submit yous question on fixya.com

SOURCE: 1996 F150 will not start. Turn key and nothing

if you hear clicking at the starter solenoid,then hit the starter with a hammer a few times,if it turns over a little,then either replace the brushes in the starter which is about $20.00 or buy a new rebuilt starter for about $90.00

Won't start only light that came on was check engine

No that would not cause it to not start. The engine light will usually be on until the car starts. It sounds like it could be a couple things. Does the car make any noises like the starter trying to engage or solenoid clicking when you hit the key? It could be a dead battery, could be that the shifter is not pushed firmly into park, I have had to move them into gear then back to park to get it to start. Try putting it in neutral, while holding the brake pedal (preferably with parking brake set) and trying to start it (assuming it is an automatic). Do your headlights come on and if so are they as bright as usual? If so then you can most likely rule out dead battery or bad connection.

Why is fuel leaking out out the air intake

Most likely a blown fuel pressure regulator. Located on the fuel rail near the throttle body. Remove vacuum hose and turn key on, do not start, and look for fuel exiting the vacuum port. If it is, replace it.

With the engine off turn the key to on. Then turn the key just past on, but before the starter starts. This should turn all the dash indicator lights on.

Car starts until i let key off from crank position,ldles briefly, then dies like it runs out of fuel.bled off fuel line and there is plenty of fuel and pressure,

It idles briefly since it gets gas from your cold start valve. This means your cold start valve is good.
It dies since after that cold start valve will close as it designed that way so fuel from injectors will take over. But apparently fuel is not coming from injectors. And injectors is controlled by injector module. Injectors are normally closed until injector module tells them to open.
Check out your fuel injectors and Injector Module.
You can buy NOID from any auto part store to test your injectors. If there is no light on then there is a problem with Injector Module. If there is light on the injectors then bad injectors.
Here how NOID looks

CAR WON'T STAY RUNNING

when key on and engine off, does the security light flash constantly? if so its shutting down the fuel pump, it starts momentarily due to the computer priming the engine with fuel. how to reset, turn key to run position, leave it on touch nothing, takes 10-12 minutes, start watching light around 10 minutes. it will stop flashing... turn key off, then back on and start this will reset the security system. they are sensitive on this platform car it will happen again. good luck!

MY 1992 300E won't start.

check for spark.....disconnect one of the spark plugs and place a new one in the rubber sleeve.......ground the electrode and have someone turn the car over...look for spark .....
check fuel pump.....have someone under the back of the car when you try to start it.....they should hear the fuel pump cut on and off....OR spray some starting fluid directly into the intake, if it briefly starts, its a fuel issue.....
good luck!
