Im taking a shot in the dark. Starter fluid mot ALWAYS works for anyhing. From here, im thinking a dead fuel pump, OR blown fues/relay TO a fuel pump. I know on my 98, when I turn the ignnition on, you can hear the pump activate {an autible buzz for 2 seconds}. IM guessing you have the CPI injection. So you can see if the injectors are literally injecting into the intake manifold. And finally a weak charging system can also be the culpurate. Ive left out the discharged battery b/c you said it runs on starter fluid. Erik

What is causing your 2000 ford contour battery to go dead after sitting a couple of days?
Either the battery has a dead cell and is pulling the others down after sitting for awhile or there is a drain on the battery from something that is on. Something such as a glove box, trunk, under hood, or dome light. If the battery is over 3 years old, or has been discharged many times, suspect the battery needs replacing.

Starter, Gas, Battery, check these first...
95 Geo Tracker with a brand new battery is still is hard to start after sitting over night you were told by AutoZone that the Alternator was ok Could this be the starter?
Make certain the cables from the battery to the starter and the body are good...may be a starter check out your local library for a shop manual and the checks to make.. d
Why does your 1996 GMC Yukon have trouble starting after sitting for a day or two - It has a new battery new spark plugs etc Takes about 10-12 cranks to start?
Perhaps injectors are leaking and need to be reprimed
Why won't your 97 Chevy Tahoe start after sitting for 3 days?
There can be many reasons why a 1997 Chevy Tahoe will not start after sitting for three days. Reasons include a dead battery, a bad starter, a bad alternator, a loose wire, and no gas.
Your 1995 Jeep Wrangler has been sitting for a while and will not start a you thought it was the battery so jumped it and found it takes a charge and all electrical comes on but it won't turn over?
Take the battery to an auto parts store and have it load tested. If it checks ok, then clean and take a close look at all connections. If it still will not start, suspect the starter or starter relay. cheaper yet, give the starter a solid whack a couple times and then try and start it, sometimes they "set up" after sitting awhile.
You installed new battery and alternator and now car cranks up sometimes usually after sitting for a couple of hours. My old batteries negative post had melted away Could starter be causing this?
Youhave a short in the system. Could be the starter or a bare wire.
Why doesnt my car start it has been sitting for 5 years and we changed the battery and still nothing but lights come on so whats wrong with the car if it doesnt make the click sound?
most likely tha starter is bad or the power to the starter is bad
Why do you charge the battery after it is discharged?
Two main reasons:when it's discharged, it's "empty", like a gas tank that's gone dry. With nothing in the battery, you can no longer run anything from it. Kinda pointless.batteries don't do too well sitting around empty. It can take damage making accept less of a charge then next time you try to make it ready for use. With less energy inside, it won't be able to power whatever it is you want to run from it as long as a fully healthy battery would.
Replaced the starter on a 1999 Alero now the alternator does not work Alternator was fine when checked out at the parts place but battery still runs down on the car New battery too?
Is the battery/alt warning light on? if they didn't disconnect the battery while the starter was being replaced and they accidently shorted the battery cable out it could have damaged the regulator of the alternator some of the Delphi regulators are very sensitive to that, but if it tested normal at the parts place, does it run down while driving or while sitting?
1996 Chevy 2500 truck 5.7 engine starts fine after running for a while but it sometimes doesn't want to start after sitting it is getting fuel but doesn't seem to be getting fire?
Check the battery mine 1995 Z71 did the same thing changed starter still did same thing finally was told to check the battery after it sets awhile battery does not have enough juice too kick the starter in I had battery checked sure enough on cell on battery was dead bought new one not a problem since.
What is wrong with the car when after sitting for 5 hours without being used it has a hard time starting?
I would guess the battery. If your radio, air, etc will still work and the engine will just not turn, it may be your starter
