Your car also could be vapor locked..It's caused by overfilling your car with gas..Putting the extra 50 cents after the gas pump stopped..The gas goes down your vapor line and plugs up your filter canister.Then you gas vapors have no where to go. So it builds up pressure in your gas tank.When the pressure becomes greater than your fuel pump the car shuts off until the pressure drops. If this is the cause.You should be able to loosen your gas cap and hear air sucking into the tank....The car will then start....Buy a new canister.. Problem solved
You may have destroyed your fuel pump, but what you wrote about it running with a spark plug out is not making sense unless your exhaust got totally plugged up and the removed spark plug is allowing it to release some pressure and run . Try having someone hold thier hand over the tail pipe while you try to start it, if they don't feel any air trying to come out you have a plugged up exhaust, or a big hole in it, or both, you should feel something even if you have some leaks in the exhaust.
Ok I'll try doing that and now that I remember the day that it turned off on me after I out gas in it it started but was idling real low and I also remember sum jingling noises coming from the bottom of car like I. The exhaust
I had somebody try to start the car while I put my hand on the exahust tip and I didn't feel no air coming out
You may have a plugged catalytic converter, best get it to someone who is equipped to diagnose it further
So the catalyic converter underneath the driver side was clogged up I started to take the bolts of and banged on it a couple of times and sure enough the car started I still have to take them all the way of and get sun new ones but I got my cougar running again R Goldsmith appreciate it

Since the electric fuel pump depends on the gas in the gas tank to cool and lubricate it you have almost certainly destroyed the pump.
Even though I can still hear the fuel pump turn on ?

If the car has over 100,000 miles on it, you may need to replace the distributer. I don't think the bad gas caused this issue I think it may just be a coincdence. But if you already changed the plugs, wires, distributor cap, and rotor, I would definetly check the distributor.

Your fuel pump is sticking and not pumping, this is common if you run the fuel down to less than 1/4 full, the fuel pump needs the gas to cool itself, below a 1/4 tank the pump is not getting cooled and after repeatably running low on fuel it overheats and fails. Running the car near 1/2 tank extends the pump life to many years more than running tank below a 1/4 full..
