What should you do if a Ford Probe will turn over but not start?

Answer 1

check your gas check to make sure you have spark by putting a screwdriver into the spark plug boot keeping the metal a 1/8" away from a metal part on the engine. Do not touch any metal with your hand try to rest the screwdriver so you do not have to hold it. It might help to do this at dusk or in a garage so you can see the spark!!! If you have spark then you have to find the fuel pump cut off switch it is usually black with white button on it about 3" square. push the button in and give it a try if you bumped the switch or had a fender bender it is usually that easy it is an inertia switch so the fuel pump doesn't make a flame thrower during an accident!!!!! you can find it on the firewall most likely on the passenger side interior side! If that don't do it there is a small valve cap on the fuel injector rail usually silver metal with black plastic valve cap. Take that off and have someone crank the car while you push the valve down with a screwdriver make sure you cover it with a rag so it don't spray you in the eyeball If the rag doesn't get soaked in 2 seconds or so it's probably the fuel pump!! When the going gets weird the weird turn PRO!!!!! H.S.T.
