2000 Crown Vic cranks but won't start.

I own a 2000 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. It had been running fine, but now it won't start. It cranks fine. I checked the Fuel Filter and it seems fine. I tried starting it without the fuel filter attached and no gas came out of the line, so I figured it was the fuel pump. I tried starting it a few days later after reading about the fuel pump reset switch, and it started for a second, but wouldn't stay running, and it is now back to not starting at all. Could this be the fuel pump relay, or do I need to change out the fuel pump?

Check the fuel pump reset switch again, if it is popped back out then replace that little switch in the trunk, any ford one will do. it works off a magnet and a bearing to close the circuit for the fuel pump. easy fix.

Check your MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor. My brothers had insects in it, cleaned them out, cleaned it up, everything's fine now.

Your fuel pump is semi-shorted causing high amperage

Headlight module under the dash. It is the size of a box of crackers, not a small part.

My 96 crown vic police interceptor, cranks won't start without spraying starter fluid.. the car won't start without spraying starter fluid into air intake hose to carb...

starting fluid is a thing of the past. dont use it. this car doesnt have a carb, its a throttle body/ electronic fuel injection system. you most likely have a fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator issue. test the fuel pressure, should be anywheres from 35-50 psi

Ford Crown Vic p0300 random cylinder misfire

take a look at the EGR valve it could be either vacum controlled or electronic either way what seems to be the problem is that the valve is stuck in the open position until the engine warms up you can gently tap the egr valve with a small hammer or a screw driver and you can see that it runs smooth, now if the egr valve is vacum controlled replace the valve. if it is electronoc controlled replace the valve and the module for the egr valve.
