97 Ford Contour won’t start

Published by bnlkynzmwlj at 12:24 am under Uncategorized

Wouldn’t start yesterday. Lots of corrosion on the wire bundle, we couldn’t even unlock the ignition. Cleaned that all up, and it cranks over good, but doesn’t want to start. Any ideas?
This is my sisters car, and I don’t even know where the carburetor is lol. The car is driven daily.

Response:
Before you crank the engine and with the key in the Run position can you hear the Fuel Pump run for a couple Seconds? Sometimes it takes 2 people with 1 listening at the fuel cap with it off. If it runs then, Check for Spark at 1 of the plugs. Also check to be sure that the Spark Plugs are NOT fowled or wet appearing. If they are get New Plugs and BEFORE you install them crank the engine over to clear out excessive fuel. Also disconnect the Ignition to Prevent a Fire before you crank it. Safety First!!
