Not cranking over

It sounds like you have a starter that is not working but to be sure lets run down this guide to confirm the failure.

Please run down this guide and report back.

Thanks for this post I went through the guide and found the starter was bad got a new one for $134.00

everything is fine,except the starter does not get any electrical current
could it be the starter relay?

check solenoid beside battery and neutral safety switch

It cranks but won't turn over, I think it's a fuse but don't know what fuse it is

Cranks but no start condition:

Fuel and Spark:
Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coils resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.

My car has been sitting in the drive way for a year an has been getting cranked every month to keep the battery good an so on. Now the car will not crank. You can smell the gas going into the engine but the car wont turn over?

If you jump the car from another, will it start?

No it will not start when I jump it from another car. I disconnected the fuel line from the fuel tank an it seem there is a clog in the line or fuel pump

Can you hjear the fuel pump running when the key is turned to the on position? There is also an inertia switch in the trunk. Make sure the red button is locked in the down position. The fuel pump relay is also a known failure on these cars.

Where is the inertia switch located in the trunk?

Left side close to where the trunk hunge is. It is a little square box that has a button on the top. If fuel is good, check for spark. No spark, look at the crank sensor. Also check the wiring under the right front bumper area under the battery, There is a loop in the wiring where water collects and will corrode wires.

Recently i parked on a moderate slope, leaning toward the drivers side. The low fuel light had been on for 10 miles, i can go about 40 miles before i'm in trouble of running out of gas. I live in Lexington, SC and the low is 50 and the high is 70. Fuel filter was replaced 15,000 miles ago. It will crank fine when i go to work @ 9am. But when i go home @ 5pm. it takes 30 seconds to 1 minute of steady holding the key for it to crank. I do not want to ruin a starter, battery or etc. because of this recent problem. This is the 4th day of this occurrence.

First, don't crank the engine for more than 10 seconds at a time. It will burn up the starter. Second, does this problem happen when there is a lot of gas in the car too? Finally, has the check engine light come on?

Let me know.

I found the inertia button an it was tripped. the button wouldn't release when i followed the instructions in the manual an it would release untill i hit the little black box that its in. The car is still tring to turn over but its not working.

The low fuel light was on when it was parked leaning toward drivers side when it first started doing this. I thought that it being low on gas, it was not getting fuel to the pump, so i filled it up. I checked my records and the fuel filter was replaced 30,000 miles ago not the 15,000 i previously stated. I aked my local mechanic to use his Snap-on diagnostic machine to see if he could find out anything, and he said unless there is a light on like the check engine it would not do any good. I can replace the fuel filter, but how do you tell if the fuel pump has been clogged with trash. I would hate to replace a fuel pump and not solve the problem. Thanks for your time and consideration.

It could have damaged the fuel pump. Here is a how to video and instructions for checking fuel pump pressure. Let me know what you find.

You will need a gauge to check it. Most parts stores will lend or rent one to you.

I put a new fuel filter on Monday and added an STP fuel injector cleaner. Its been 24 hrs. and no cranking problems. Thanks for the info and help i appreciate it.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Good luck and let us know if you have qustions in the future.

I just replaced my battery because it wouldn't hold a charge, an I replaced the fuel filter too. My car still wont turn over. I checked the fuel filter an its not getting any gas now an theres no gas runing threw the lines into it? Does this mean its the fuel pump. The inertia swith is fine.

Thanks for all the help.

If you have fuel in the tank, chances are the fuel pump is bad. You will need to check and make sure it is getting power. Let me know what you find.

Joe

I got it fixed. it was the fuel pump

Glad you got it fixed. Based on your description, that is what it sounded like.

Take care and let us know if you have questions in the future.

Starter Ok. This is a ford crown vic interceptor. Can start car by crossing the terminals on starter motor. I've replaced ignition switch. Are there any fuses I missed checking? Checked main fuse box. There are black fuses that you can't read. Could this be the problem or is it something else?

Hi:
have you checked the starter relay?
