Answerfirst cycle the key on and off a few times, these cars have a "return" style fuel system and cycling the key will repededly turn the fuel pump on and send fuel to the injectors if it still won't start try:

Shoot a little starting fluid into the air intake and try to start it. Sometimes it just takes a little extra to get the fuel to flow.

ADDED 04-25-06 by Guycaron: Also, consider the possibility that residue at the bottom of your fuel tank has clogged the fuel filter.

or the fuel strainer on the in tank pump, or burnt the pump out, but i know when my mark ran out of gas it took almost 3 gallons to get it back going

What is a DCL for in a 1994 Lincoln Continental?

Since I couldn't delete this question, I will answer it: DCL is a Diagnostic Connector Link found on all OBD2 and OBD1 vehicles. This question was asked specifically in reference to a 1994 Lincoln Continental, which has 2 of them. One is under the hood where you would expect to find it. The other is in the trunk, and only this model vehicle has. The link in the trunk may possibly be solely for accessing the air ride suspension system computer, or possibly for a few other system computers.
