If it is cranking fine but not firing then you have a fuel problem. Maybe the fuel pump, filter, injectors...etc.

Testimonial: "Thanks for quick advice, was hoping it was just flooded and maybe quick fix as I've seen on forums. Will try again tomorrow when I can liven battery."

SOURCE: Flat battery

Get a set of jumper cables. Positive side of the battery goes to the + side or red. and negative goes to - or black. Do the same on the other car. let it charge for awhile before attempting to start

1993 ford crown victoria lx new battery, car stopped, won't turn on???

Sounds like you have a bad heater core. If steam is on the interior you may want to look for moisture around the floor at the firewall.
