98 continental turns over will not start

I changed the valve cover gaskets and it will not start after that. I have fuel and spark, replaced the crank sensor and fuel rail pressure sensor.

SOURCE: 1995 lincoln continental wont start

have you checked out the core packs? and if you go to autozone you can get a printed diagram where the crankcase sensor is located also look for the location normally under the hood for the fuel pump relay

SOURCE: 1999 Continental will not start

Does anti-theft light come on for a sec then turn off when you turn on the key or does it flash with key on?
You said that CEL turns off while cranking,does it come back on if you continue to crank after about 8-10 seconds of cranking?
If it does not then your PCM is not seeing a signal from the crankshaft postion sensor.You can try wiggling the harness at the crankshaft postion sensor and see if it will start.

SOURCE: how do i replace the left valve cover gasket

someone may have used a tuff gasket cement.  You just have to remove all the bolts and connections and perhaps hit it with a rubber mallet to loosen it.

01 tracker 2.5 v6 valve cover gasket replacement

valve cover gasket would never prevent engine starting. Replace if it's leaking, but don't look at the gasket as the source of your no start problem

check fuel pump relay.you probably remove fuel pump relay to disable fuel system when you replaced valve cover.

There is LOTS of oil covering my spark plugs, the other day I was driving on the hwy when it suddenly started slowing down even though my foot was on the pedal. I was going 70mph and then slowly dropped...

Hi and welcome to FixYa!
If there's oil on the sides of the engine valve cover then the valve cover gasket should be replaced. If there's oil on the spark plugs then the enginve valve seals must be replaced. Worn out valve seals can make the oil get in the plugs.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Smoke from one exhust pipe and rough idle ,455 v8,changed oil,changed valve cover gaskets and cleaned fuel tank changed fuel fliter,smokes at idle and driving.

The cause may be from worn valve seals on that bank of the engine, and oil enters the combustion chamber fouling the spark plug(s). A Compression test will be needed to verify if it is the seals or piston rings not sealing.

Oil where spark plug coil is

you have a bad valve cover gasket/ spark plug o-ring i assume the plug is set in the head with valve cover above it since there is oil in the cover gaskets and o rings are used to seal in oil remove and replace gaskets be sure to find the right torque spec for the cover bolts also remember to start with the center bolts and work your way evenly to the outside

Valve cover gaskets

Valve cover gaskets are a snap, even for a real dummy.  Get a set, don't fall for the "BEST IN THE MARKET".  All you need is a cheap set of something, that will seal the covers.  Get a small tube or bottle of NON-HARDENING sealer.  Clean both surfaces , put some sealer on the engine, and the valve cover, put the gasket in place and tighten it down to a few foot pounds of torque.  It doesn't need to be cranked down tight enough to hold back an elephant, just enough to squeeze the gasket.  Let it dry overnight before you start the engine.

Oil around spark plugs on 1992 honda accord

Yes the oil can cause the car to lose spark, the oil leak could be caused by the valve cover gaskets around the spark openings, but 9 times out of 10 it is the spark plug tube "O" rings. The top of the valve train comes off of the head, the "O" rings are between the two halves, that will fix the oil leak.
