My 90 crown vic won't start. i have fuel to the rail, spark off the coil to the distributor, the plugs look good, the starter cranks and the battery is strong. it ran this morning to my daughters school and this afternoon just crank crank but, won't turnover. any ideas what to look at next?
I would visually check for spark at the plugs, to make sure spark is getting to the plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure and fuel injector pulse.
How long since a tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes?

I mount bolt is a RELLY hard to remove. Pay the money and have a mechanic do it on a lift.
SOURCE: locate fuel filter on 91 crown vic
The fuel filter is located under the vehicle on the inner side of the left (driver side) frame rail.
Should look like the image below:

This happend to me before. Go back and check the firing order and make sure the spark plug wires are in the right place. A Chilton auto repair book for your vehicle, available at many auto part stores are really helpful. Check the rotor and distributor cap also and make sure they seat properly. Assuming the distributor itself has not been removed it should start. If the distributor was removed from the vehicle and not installed in the exact position it was before (maybe a couple of notches off) you will have to find top dead center on the compression stroke on plug #1 and check to see if the rotor is pointing at the at plug wire #1 on the distributor cap. The distributor itself can be adjusted by loosening the locking nut and turning it slowly clokwise or counter clokwise to ****** or advance the spark. make sure all your vacume lines are in the right place also. All these procedures can be found in the book.
SOURCE: Wiper motor replacement for a 99 crown vic
I replaced the same part on a 1994 Crown Vic. There are a few bolts which go through rubber mounts on the firewall and that is how the wiper motor fits against the firewall. There is a clip on the wiper drive that must be pressed and slid off the wiper shaft. The hardest part was getting clearence between the engine and wiper motor. If I remember there was a way to turn the wiper case to clear the engine. I have asked myself why this was engineered like this? There is nothing important in the way that 3/4" of clearance could have been given for removal.
SOURCE: 1999 crown vic keeps getting air locked at the fuel rail?
check your fuel pressure
if you dont have enough pressure this will happen
when the fuel pressure is good the system will just push the air out through the injectors or the fuel return line

if you have high volts from the coil, i would suspect the ignition module.
