Ok, I am assuming that your BATTERY is fully charged and has at least a 12.5 volt reading with a voltmeter. and that the BATTERY connections are CLEAN and TIGHT. You can usually tell if the BATTERY is up to a good charge if; you turn on your headlights and they are bright and clear. If they are dull and almost yellow looking, then you either have an undercharged or bad BATTERY or a bad connection somewhere; this could be anywhere between the BATTERY terminal and the starter. Make sure to Check the BATTERY GROUND connections very good at the BATTERY and where it connects at the frame of the vehicle. Also, if your BATTERY is fully charged, turn your headlights on and turn the key to the START position and look at the headlights, they should only dim a small amount; if they go out completely or almost dark, there is another electrical problem that is keeping the vehicle from starting. If all looks good with the BATTERY and connections and the motor still won't start, you could have an engine problem. Please state whether or not the engine will TURN OVER when you try to start it, that can make a difference for the diagnosis.
Car wont turn over
Make sure the shift lever is working properly. If the lever is sloppy and loose it is not engaging the proper gear for starting (P or N). If this is the case a bolt is loose or missing on the shift mechanism under the dash. Get under dash with a flashlight and check the shift Mechanism. Replace or tighten the bolt(s) securely. There are two and are probably a brass color. This problem happened to me and it is quite common on the Villager.
What type of shifter cable does 1994 Mercury
Don"t know about a shifter cable but if you problem is a loose shift lever that will not engage the proper choice(R D N 2) your problem is most likely a loose or missing bolt on the shift mechanism under the dash. Did you find a gold colored bolt on the driver side floor? If you did this is the one of the shift mechanism's bolts. Get under the dash with a flashlight and move the **** lever. You will then see the shift mechanism move. The mechanism has two bolts. If both are visible thighten them securley. If one is missing replace it. The culprit is usually the right bolt(sitting in driver seat or left if you are looking up under the dash. I was told that the problem was a defective shift cable but that was not the problem.

YTou have a tiny leak at the fuel line hose that connects to the fuel rail on the engine. It just needs to be tightened about one turn. It is hard to see, but look through the opening in the upper intake and you will see it. Or follow the hose from the fuel filter on the firewall to the fuel rail, that's it.

That's becaue you have air trapped in the system. very common.
Start engine cold with radiator cap loose and let it run until upper hose is hot (meaning thermostat opened) and it can burp air. Keep radiator & resevoir full. Shut off engine, fill radiator, tighten cap, let coolant get sucked out of reservoir into radiator.
IF still can't burp, go to a shop with evac/fill equipment to usck all air out and fill with vacuum method.
It helpas to jack up front of van as ahigh as you can get it. Air is trapped in top of engine cylinder head ecause i is higher than radiator cap,

My van will not start,
There is a "Kill switch" that shuts off the fuel pump whenever a crash is detected. It should be located where this is at in the owner's manual ... When you say "Kind of Loose" are we talking "I can rattle the key a bit" or "I can pull the key out with the ignition in the 'run' position" ?
