Car won't start but it does turn over

My 2002 mustang gt convertible won't start. has been having problems for some time with the engine light coming on and off. Also, Have only been albe to put the car in reverse or out of park was to put it in neutral, start, then it will go out of park. brake fluid is adequate. gas is adequate, battery is adequate. BUT all of a sudden, it turns over, but it won't start. so frustrated. thanks

On these engines the cam sensor gives the signals for the fuel injectors, and the crank check advance online will give you location and price fairly easy to change

2003 ford mustang gt anti theft light flashing engine will turn over but will not start

From my experience...
A non PATS coded key SHOULD not turn the STARTER...!

If ANTI-THEFT were invoked... you can attain a not start condition which the Owners Manual says must be cleared by the dealer.

A working PATS key should disable the anti theft... by turning the ignition on... ELSE try your other key.

The SecuriLock [PATS]
passive anti-theft system is not compatible with
non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems may
result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection.

Why does my 2000 gt 4.6L MUSTANG DIE AFTER 2 HOURS OF DRIVING, BUT STARTS BACK UP EVERYTIME?

This issue can be related to a variety of problems. If the check engine light is on I would have the codes scanned for problamatic sensors etc. If no check engine light on, have a look at the throttle plate and bore by removing the air hose from the filter box to the throttle plate and inspecting for gumming up. ( Black/dirty) If so, use a carb cleaner spray and old tooth brush to remove any deposits that may cause base idle to be affected. Another problem could be the IAC ( idle air control ) motor not working properly

Crank but won't start

You'll have to figure out if it is a fuel or ignition problem.
Is the check engine light on ? Have you checked for trouble codes ?
It could be a relay, the ignition module, coil, fuel pump, or a list of other things.

Got a 2003 GT convertible, intermittent wipers

The turn signal switch and wiper switch are one unit called a Combo switch. The good news is it is easily changed. After opening the column covers it is held to the side of the column with two torque head screws. You don't have to remove the steering wheel.
