could be a couple of things...first off take the ignition control module into autozone and have them test it 10-15 times back to back.....that many tests will heat the control module up enough, that if there is a thermobreak down it will fail one of the tests.....the other thing it could be is a weak fuel pump. Initially the pump will have enough pressure but after it runs a bit, the pressure decreases to a point where the engine will not run.... A quick way to find out if it is a fuel pressure issue, is to get the car in a "NO-START" situation...then take some starting fluid and spray it into the intake....if the car starts, the problem is with the fuel pump. If neither of these get the car to run.....check the fuses for the ECM (Electronic Control Module), and the wiring harness connection at the ECM....make sure there is not a loose plug....

my tracer has done this, in some cases if u are at an angle, the fuel line doesnt allow the fuel to get into the engine causing no spark it for the car to start...
Yes. My Mercury Tracer has an engine directly out of a Ford Escort (same year).
A Ford Tracer Tonic 199 uses a one-barrel carburetor. This is the type of carbureter that can be purchased from junkyards, or taken from other vehicles.

Our 1999 Ford Windstar Van starts fine but when we shut it off it will not start back up til it has sit for 30 minutes! HELP
Do you mean no crank/no start or crank/no start.... to put it simply, does the engine turn over?
It could be it has a lot of potential power, or it could use a fine tune up, i would say start with the spark plugs, and wires.
