1991 Ford Crown Victoria V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

My Crown Victoria (1991) will not completely start, it will turn over but other than that there is no starting it the rest of the way.

I am new at fixing cars but I think it might be the corroded battery cables mixed with the cold weather we have been having where I live.

If I could just find out what is actually wrong with it and fix it I would be very grateful, so if you have any suggestions of what I should do please don't hesitate to respond to this e-mail.

Start with the basics, and work your way up, Last tune up was? Wires plugs ALL filters? If all that is ok, check for a stuck EGR, then test fuel pump pressure, If it won't restart, determine what's missing, the engine needs three things to run, Spark at all plugs, gas to all cylinders, and compression in all cylinders, tho an engine may run lacking one in one cylinder, it won't run very well!
