Hard starting can have a lot of reasons, but basics include needing a tune up, leaking fuel injectors or ignition module problem, low compression, weak electrical system (battery/alternator)-if we had more information like it starts well when cold but not hot, or it runs bad when it does run, you'd get a lot more specific conjectures.

    If it runs well when you finally get it going, timing is not your issue, but it not starting easily yet running good is a clue that possibly your fuel injector(s) are leaking fuel into the cylinder(s) after it has been shut down-possibly leaking o-rings, or a bad fuel pressure regulator another possibility is the crank sensor or ignition module. when they get hot, cause this-again, more information needed-does it start better cold or hot?

1992 Ford Mustang LX 2.3. What is the easiest and quickest way, to tell its in time?

In general the best and safest method is to use the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley and the camshaft pulleys. If no work has been done on the engine a simple way is to listen to the engine as it is running. An engine that is out of time when at idle and being revved will run unevenly, have rough acceleration and possibly a lack of power. If it is really far out of timing it will make lots of nasty noises as the valves hit the pistons.
If your setting up the engine after major work, like a timing belt change or a head gasket replacement, You MUST use the timing marks on the crank and camshaft pulleys to avoid doing serious damage.

Ford mustang was making a whine/ rattling noise while doing 20-60 mph then after driving 20 minutes she died at a stop sign, would start up fine in park, but died when we tried to shift,what is wrong

Automatic or stick ?
If its an automatic, it could be something in the torque converter or transmission. The torque converter clutch could be stuck.

My 94 fors Taurus cuts out while driving and sometimes will not start. It cranks but won't start. We changed the fuel pump, spark plugs and distributor cap, but it is still cutting out while driving...

are there any codes? have you checked the pressure in the fuel line. you may have a bad fuel pressure regulator. or a bad crank position sensor. spray starter in the throttle body and see if it starts

Bad rod in 1990 mustang lx 4 cylinder

You might as well replace the engine, it is about the same cost. So you are looking at about $2000.00

My 4 runner starts sometimes and won't other times, it justs cranks over but won't run

As with any no start issue, you will need to check for spark and fuel pressure when it won't start to know how to proceed.

91 5.0 LX, ran fine yesterday but hesitated when pulling into the garage. Next morning it would crank over rapidly but won't fire. dosen't seem to be getting spark. Any ideas? Thank You.

I would check the timing belt. If it is hard to access, then pull the distributor cap or valve cover. If nothing moves as you crank it. Your belt broke.
