SOURCE: Car fails to start one day and starts the next.

I would check all the relays and the computer .
They could be over heating when coming on for a while then shorting out.

Hi

P0305 is misfire in cylinder #5.
P0306 is misfire in cylinder#6.
P0316 is misfire on start up.
Have the plugs on those 2 cylinders, and the 2 fuel injectors checked, also check for spark from the coil on those 2 plug wires.

Please get back to us if you have further query or else please accept the solution.

2002 mercury sable, first ignition cranking but no start.

I would start with the fuel pump relay. The relay may not be working which would require the engine be cranked for a long time to get fuel pressure.
You could also have a problem with the venting of the gas tank.

Hello. You are in luck. I just had this same issue in my shop this week. We changed the thermostat, and replaced the coolant. Fixed it right up. Since you did not mention a new thermostat, that would be my next move, if I were you.
