Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.

I got it stared.

I run a hot direct wire to the PCM.
I guess there was a shortage in the hot wire somewhere.

Nice work, we are here to help, please use 2CarPros anytime.

I have a 94 gt mustang car wont start , i changed the tps, iac ,eecm, ignition relay fuel pump and filter, fuel pressure reg, turns over strong but wont start if I take out the spout chip it starts but runs bad put the spout back in car dies and wont start back up, help me please.

Do u have an ignition control module mounted on the distributor I would check /change it

i have changed the ignition control module its new as i stated in my question, like i said it will run if you pull the spout put the spout back in car dies, My ignition control relay and the spout are located on the passanger fender well under the air filter.

Drivin acted like it jumped time when it died gas flored 1200 rpm engine backfired wouldnt go git it home it had burned up the cap and rotor changed it out also replaced rotor car ran fine for two blocks car will not fire at all now any suggestions

If your getting no spark to coil , then cps sensor is bad, if you are getting spark
Threw coil and dist. To plugs then your cam timing has jumped.

Engine Mechanical problem
1994 Ford Mustang 6 cyl Automatic

It will not start and the engine is not getting any fire

What have you checked so far other than you have no spark?
Fuel pump running?
Fuel pressure?
Injector pulse?
Please advise.

I replaced the ignition coils and checked to see if there was a spark, but there wasn't.

Your going to have to check fuel pressure and injector pulse so we can narrow this down. Can you hear the fuel pump running?

The car turns over but will not start. There is no spark. Its getting fuel. I dont know how to check the injector pulse.

To check an ordinary test light and connect it to the terminals of any injector connector. Have someone crank the engine as you watch the test light. You're looking for the light to "blink" which indicates an injector. No blinky/no pulsey.

Hi. I have a 94 Mustang GT. I drove into a big dip along the side of the road while parking. It was a pretty hard hit. No problems right after the hit. As days passed the engine would crank but it would not fire. It could take a few minutes to fire. Then it was about 10 minutes of cranking before it would fire. Once started it would run great, no miss or anything. Now it won't fire at all. There is no spark while cranking. I changed the ICM, coil, cap and rotor. The wires and plugs are newer. There is fuel pressure. I checked connections. I have the right voltage while cranking. I can't figure out why it won't fire. There is voltage at coil while cranking. What else could be the problem. I have never had a problem with the car prior. Thanks

Inspect and test the distributor pick-up coil

If that was bad would it run ok. Once it started it ran great.

You said no spark-if the pick-up coil is defective you won't get spark-also I suggest you check the fuel pressure if its within specs-

When you say you have power at coil all the time.One side of the coil should be power the other side should flash when cranking if it does the pick up and module should be okay i believe the t/y wire at the coil should flash when tested with a test light.Also possible ccrm located in passenger front fender area under inside fender well could be going bad.

Cool, thanks I'll look at those next.

Electrical problem
1994 Ford Mustang V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

car cranks over but won't start. car is getting good fuel pressure. changed alternator,battery,ignition module,ignition coil also all fuses checked good. but car still won't start.

What was the fuel pressure EFI don't like low fuel pressure and did you get spark when you changed the coil and ignition module-also did you test the distributor pick-up coil-let me know

I pulled plug out of #2 cylinder and turned engine over and a ton of gas shot out of the cylinder. The plug was saturated in gas.

Besides checking the plug and wires, distributor, is their any more "scientific" way to expedite finding out why cylinder isn't firing?

I can drive the car, but get's very poor gas mileage and the "Check Engine" light is on continuously and even flashes if I sit at a stop light for an extended period of time.

I can only assume your car is fuel injected. Remove the fuel injector from the intake manifold, you will probably have to remove them all at once as each injector will need to remain attached to the fuel rail or pipe/plumbing system. (caution, gasoline is very flammable) without cranking the car, cycle the igniton switch on and off 2-3 times, this will allow the fuel pump to pressurize the system. You should then be able to spot the injector that has failed/leaked. You can replace the entire set, or just the suspected injector. Lube the O-ring to ease installation and help sealing.

we replace the engine in my 1994 mustang, we are getting a spark to the coil but nothing to the plugs? What can it be? Changed the coils and still nothing?

If you are getting spark from the coil center tower and not at the sparkplug ends -replace the rotor and distributor cap it has to make it thru there to get to the plugs.

Does the comuter need to be reset? if so how do you do that.

Do you have the spark at the plugs? If not resetting the computer will do no good.

1994 Ford Mustang Gt 5.0. 138,000 miles. Been running great... Came home for lunch today and , turned the key and it just makes a single clicking noise every-time I turn the key. Thought it was the battery. Put a new one in. No go same clicking, won't even try to turn over? Any ideas? Thanks

check battery terminals
check starter solenoid and starter

Hi lately on 94 mustang Gt 5.0 5 speed the car has been killing itslelf for no apparent reason just one second it would running perfect very next second no warning lights sputtering nothing just engine is dead, for intstance yesterday i took it on a test drive on the highway running about 70mph engine completely dies on me, tired popping the clutch atleast 5 times wouldnt take nothing got pulled over to side of road sat there 2 minutes started right up and act like it was out of gas when i tried to start it up and would take a while to start back up sometimes as long as 20 minutes or 3 hours. I took ignition module off and coil and had tested both tested good, i cleaned the inside contacts and rotar before i took iit on this test drive noticed a much better response. Iam leaning on it towards being my fuel pump going bad because it does wine some while just idling and wouldnt a sudden loss of fuel pressure cause a complete dead like descibed, Thank you very much

do a fuel pressure test the next time it dies and wont start back up.

Or

try to get it to start with starting fluid in a spray can.
(of course it will stumble and die again after a few seconds if the fuel system is the problem)

My car will not start. it turns over very slow as if the battery is dead. tried jumping no good. tried new battery no good. Tried new starter no good. Took the starter out powered up spun great. reinstalled and it would barely turn over. When i went to tap on it with a hammer and accidently touched the starter housing to the frame of the car, sparks started flying????????????

Have you had the battery load tested? Are battery terminals, cables, and wires to the starter clean tight and in good condition?

i have a 1194 ford mustang that wont start when i try the engine turns over but does not fire where should i begin what are my possible problems

Do below to determine if its a fuel or spark problem

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem,Do you hear the fuel pump come On when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if so, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

ok i have a 94 mustang and i was driving it and shut it off one day two weeks ago and it never started after that it wont fire at all theres no spark. ive replaced the coil ,plugs ,wires ,distibortor cab and button, and control module and i think it might be the computer but not sure i need help plz

Ok I need you to check something first before jumping to the computer. Have you checked fuse number 15 in the fuse box. Then the EEC fuse in the under hood fuse panel. The PCM relay this is in the front corner of the engine bay below the horns. Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.
