Starting Problem I have a 1974 Mercury Capri with a 1989 Ford Mustang engine in it, and its sitting for about a year and a half. I installed a new battery. I changed the spark plugs. I changed the oil. Do you have any other suggests for me to get my vehicle up and running?

There are several answers depending on whether the engine cranks or not. If it does not crank, check the brake pedal safety switch on the pedal lever. There is an inertia switch which may be in the trunk on your model and this will cut off the power to the fuel pump. Newer year models have the inertia switch by the front kickpanel. In either case a push button on it will restore power.

That being said, if you use a little starting fluid and the engine tries to run, you know it has a fuel shortage problem.

Try starting fluid. Gas is probably bad and needs to be drained. The engine will fire or run briefly with starting fluid verifying a fuel problem.

Apr 29, 2014 - Why is it grinding when I drive it and wont go in reverse ... The firing order is 1-3-4-2. All things Capri are found at: http://www.techcapri.com/

HHMMMM no idea without my head under the bonnet sorry hood ,could be the injectors are gummed up as you state you have a good pressure and it runs on a dope spray .Other than that i dont know what else offhand to suggest ,take the injectors out and try blowing them backwards with a air line it might work

Your car looks like a Ford Capri engineered in Australia from a Mazda 323. These are quite common in New Zealand and Australia . Unfortunately they came out at the same time as the MX5 and didn't sell well.
Do a search on Google images for Ford Capri to see if they are the same. If they are parts are readily available ex Mazda

buy manual specific to vehicle

The car had set up for about a year and a half. After installing a new full exhaust( headers to rear tips) I took it out for a spin. Everything seemed fine exept under hard acceleration so I knew the problem was in the fuel or the firing. I got lucky when I decided to try a new fuel pump. When we lowered the tank we found it to be corroded with rust along with the pump itself. So after a new tank and pump all is well( For now). Thanks for replying so soon.

hello you can take a 1/2 in metal drill bit and drill straight through the center seams like a bad idea but does work once you cut the pin off the back it all falls apart then you just turn it to acc. with a screwdriver and install new one

fuel delivery problem... check fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel injectors. Thats about all it could be.
