    Does the engine crank over with the starter but just not fire up or does it do nothing.

If Th engine doesn't crank have the battery and battery cables checked for condition and corrosion. If the engine cranks and dos not start then have the systems control computer scanned for fault codes and have the fuel pressure checked.

SOURCE: 1999 ford taurus automatic wont go into any gear -engine is fine

Just a couple of things to check if you haven't compare the smell and apearance of the tranmission oil to so new, if it looks dark and smell burned you probably have a bad transmision, clutches or burned up. Does it whine or make any noise? a stopped up filter will do this. also is it full when warm on the dip tick runniing in park?

look on the inside of the hood and around the engine compartment for stickers... one of them should have the information you need on them.

SOURCE: 2001 ford taurus wont start and anti-theft light is blinking

Either you may be using a key that you had copied from the original or your chip went bad in your original key. Most of cars now a days have the key censor in the key so if it is the incorrect key it will not start your car or if it does not read that chip it will not start

2002 ford taurus,injectors work properly but gas goes by one injector into cylinder

When you say ,,, gas goes by one injector..... this means to me that a cylinder is getting flooded with gas. If this is true.... and you know for a fact that the injectors is good.... the problem has to be electrical. The injectors have power all the time and the PCM grounds the injectors to turn them on. If in fact the injectors are good and gas is still getting into the cylinder then there can only be 2 things that cause this... one... the PCM is defective and keeping the injector on ..on that cylinder... or two... the ground wire to the injector is shorted to ground somewhere. These are the only two things that will cause the injector to stay on. Be sure the injector is good !!

Drive 5 miles and starts up fine, drive 30 miles and wont restart

Sounds like a fuel pump overheating. Drive until it wont start then check the fuel pressure. If no gauge when it wont start try some starting fluid. You should also check your fuel pump relay.

1999 FORD EXPEDITION intermittantly will not start.

You have a bad starter. A faulty starter will function when its cold but when it heats up, it takes more energy to get the starter to engage. Your problem is exhibiting the classic symptoms of a bad starter. I hope this solves your problem and the best of luck to you.
