You say t pump is coming on, but do you fuel coming up to the fuel injector rail? You can check for fuel by pushing down the valve located at the left front side of fuel rail. It looks like a tire air fill stem. Be very careful as fuel is under 40 psi pressure and can spray all over the place. do this with engine OFF and have a rag to cover the valve. Just press with tip of screwdriver and be sure valve is covered. If a little gas come out,you know you have fuel. If not gas then check fuel delivery system i.e pump, filter, lines or pickup tube.
If there is fuel in the rail, then there is most likely a problem with the control module (computer).
Check for fault codes with an OBD II reader. You can usually rent one at your local part store. You can look up fault codes to find out where the problem might lie.
More questions, just leave in comments.
Good Luck.

The fuel pump only comes on for 2 seconds when the switch is turned on until the engine starts.Have you checked for spark at any of the sparkplugs?

How many miles is on this 97 Lincoln town car?
Does it has an aftermarket alarm system?
Try the start the car with this following steps.
1)press on brake
2)shift to "N" neutral
3)start the engine
If this works then it's a worn / failing neutral safety switch.
You should also check and lube the transmission linkage with white lithium spray on grease.
Please let me know the result on reply.
