Why doesn't Firefox start up?

Why doesnt my van start?

  • ive got a 1989 FORD E-150 VAN fuel injected that wont start it was running fine and now it doesnt want to start when i turn the key lights cone on and it sounds like it wants to turn on but it doesnt. i tried disconnecting the fuel filter and turning the key there is gas going through the filter. fuel filters 2yrs old batterys 1yrs old i replaced sparkplugs wires and cap i also replaced the starter about 4 yrs ago

  • Answer:

    Let me get this straight ,one day the van runs great ,next day it wont run , cranks over but refuses to start , my guess is cam timing gear has teeth worn to the point of timing chain has jumped a few teeth and you cam timing is way off , the best way to tell is to do a compression test ,be willing to bet that's your problem

Does it sputter alittle as if it wants to start? Sounds like a fuel pump problem the best way to figure if it is or not have someone take a soft face hammer and tap on the fuel tank and if it turns over you need a new motor remember dont beat the hell out of it just give it a few hits while someone is turning over the car at the same time

Clean the terminals and if that doesn't work it could be a starter solenoid

Need more info. Is the engine turning over, if not battery/starter, safety net. switch, connections. If it is turning over, TFI module, coil, ignition switch.

it could be pumping fuel but not getting enough it could also have a weak battery
