Check compression, best way is with a compression gauge. Or you can add just a little bit of engine oil thru the carb to see if it starts. What this does is temporarily seal the rotors edges and compression goes up (In case of worn rotor seals).

I have a starting issue. 1996 5.0ltr Ford E-150 fuel injection. Ran and started fine on Sunday the 5th. I didn't try starting it until Wednesday when it warmed up to 17 degrees. The battery was low and it...

Open the hood and on the drivers side above the wheel well pull on every wire there to start with,then look at all other connections,you may find one or two that pull apart with corrosion on them.Also at all connection wire points along the frame to the rear, pull on the wires.
Ford has corrosion issues at wire connections.

I have a 1988 Mazda Rx-7 non-turbo and not all the time but every now and then when i go to start it it cranks but wont start. Is the engine flooding or is it something else?

I always start my '88 RX7 with a 2 start procedure. First start is short about 3 engine revs...second time it always starts.
If I don't do that it cranks & cranks.....try it.

Won't start @ times.

Sounds like an ignition module problem. Not to hard to change, they are inside the distributor2d5b6c4.jpg.

sorry, but it sounds like the altenantor not the battery. most autoparts stores will test them for free, but you'll have to take them out yourself. goodluck
