96 crown Victoria cranks but won't start?

Answer 1

Update-- Problem was caused by a bad crank position sensor. I am having the same problem myself. We have checked the fuel pump and replaced the fuel filter and it seem to work for a while but now we are back to the same old problem. After doing a little research we have found some other possible causes that we are going to investigate. First on the list is the power and fuel relays. Sometimes a simple tap will get them working again and they are pretty cheap to replace as well. The relays are located on the driver side between the wheel well and firewall. I have also heard that a flakey crank position sensor can cause this problem - it is a little more difficult to get to. Last but not least on my list to try is grounding the battery to the frame with a secondary wire-- one person has suggested that these vehicles have been known to have grounding problems-- I myself wonder why it would even crank if the ground wasn't adequate but at this point I am willing to try anything. We plan on working on this car again in the upcoming week-- I will post again if we find a concrete solution to this problem.
