Thanks for looking, this one is killing me. NOT related to the mustang, but definitely keeping me from working on mine.
2001 Windstar 3.8 with 152K miles on it.
-Likes to foull plugs annually with significant buildup on the plugs
-New plugs about 500 mile ago, car was running great.
-Last Thursday my wife drove it all day long with no problems
-Thursday evening she backed it out of the garage, turned it off to go in and get her phone.(Go figure)
-Tried to restart and it would just start and die within 2 seconds
-I got home a few hours later and it would not fire at all.
I checked for fuel at the shraeder valve on the fuel rail. Only 2 drops came out.
-Replaced the fuel filter, got a lot more fuel at the fuel rail.
-Still wouldn't start.
I have checked for spark on the front cylinders with a timing light and the spark looks good.
-Checked the cam and crank sensors and they were performing fine electrically
-Popped a valve cover to make sure the valves were moving when the engine cranks
-Cracked the intake hose and sprayed starting fluid at the MAF. Van will fire and run on the starting fluid.
-Went back to the Schraeder valve and got no fuel out.
Where do I go from here. I am frustrated!
Fuel Pump? Fuel Regulator? another Fuel Filter? A Shotgun?
