I tried starting my car the other day, but it wouldn't start. The engine rotated and I'm getting a spark, but it still wont start. What else could be causing this.

P.S. It's been parked on a hill for a while, don't know if this would cause any problem though.

 

Turn the key to the on position, and then under the hood on the passengerside fuel rail it look like a littl fitting...like tire stem. Take a pen and push it like your letting air out of your tires...fuel should spray out, make sure your not looking directly over it!!! If not fuel comes out then you got a fuel pump problem or fuel relay problem......go to the trunk and on the driverside theres a fuel reset button...push it and try starting it again.

 

I found the fitting but it's to small to fit a pen into. It's a 1995 V6.

 

it looks like valvestem on your tires. Find something small to press it with and see what happens.

 

LMAO!

 

Keep comments like that to yourself...

Is this what your talking about

 

yep, unscrew the cap off, with the key turned to the on position press the inner portion...kinda like when your letting the air out of your tire. Gas should mist out...if not then you have a fuel problem. But you've found the right part to check.

 

blk02stang couldn't of said it better!

 

I had the same problem on my girls old '94 cobra...had spark but it wouldnt fine...fuel pump had went bad from sitting and thats how i determined the problem.

 

Make sure you put a rag around it before depressing it, don't want fuel to go in certain places that get hot if your car starts. Also since you tried starting it, fuel pressure would have built up, so you just need to depress it and not worry about turning the key to the on position. Hope you find the problem.

 

bad fuel pump.
