Engine Mechanical problem
1997 Mercury Sable V8 Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I am worried someone may have put something in my gas tank. I have changed the fuel filter about 4 times and it did work for 1 day but not again since. It sounded like it wanted to turn over and it just isnt getting the gas. If I take off the filter and turn it over I am getting gas - but its really think and icky. I can smell allot of gas if I keep trying but I just am not getting anything. Could it be the fuel injector, or something else?

could be a weak fuel pump or spark problem. Check to see if you have strong blue spark first. The you will need to get a fuel presure gauge to verify it has enough pressure to run the engine
