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.

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

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?

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 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.
