If You can't hear anything it's probably Your fuel relay. If it is turning on check to see if You have spark going thru Your spark plug's. If You have spark and Your fuel pump is turning on do a search and You will come up with all kind of information. -------------------- Dont claim power if ya cant mile per hour. 10 second AOD Posts: 4388 | From: East Bay | Registered: Aug 2002  |  : asskickn88 ¯ Member # 4957 posted                              I just had the same problem. One night the car ran fine, the next I went to start it and it wouldnt fire. I held the pedal to the floor and it started but ran like crap, just dumping fuel. I checked everything and ended up changing the computer, it fired and ran fine after that.... -------------------- Three 540 Bimmers and a 5.0 Explorer.... got a Ford back in the stable!

In my case, my car didn't run becuase i set the firing order clockwise instead of counterclock wise. so.. might want to double check your firing order, plugs, and fuel relay... mine would want to start but kept on dying.. eventually it started for 1 sec and backfired . -------------------- =( Posts: 4634 | From: bay | Registered: Jun 2002  |  : BadAss5.0 ¯ Member # 6165 posted                              Hi everyone I got my car started there was a fuse under the steering wheel that was burn out I don't know why is there but I just replace it and the car started thanks for your help.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
