Its the fuel pump
.054
Could be broken timing belt. Do the spark plugs have spark?
.054 in is the standard gap for most if not all Tempo engines.
1,3,4,2
According to one of Fords websites : For the 2.3 liter four cylinder engine in a 1989 Ford Tempo : ( the spark plugs are gapped at .054 inch )
.54 Gap
Some auto parts retail websites have spark plug wiring diagrams. One of them, AutoZone, shows the spark plug wiring diagram for the 1993 Ford Tempo 3.0 liter 6-cylinder model.
The spark plug torque spec range is between 6 and 10 ft/lbs.
Fuel pump? Engine coil? Check fuel and spark
It needs fuel, compression and spark, you are missing one of those.
not to sure to be honest if it has a spark plug the spark when fitten to the engine could be shorting to earth before the spark reaches the cylinder( ignition of the fuel) could be worth a try changing them
im not getting fire to the spark plugs but the distributor is getting fire what do i do please help
