Car wont start

My friends car, which has the 4.0L V6, was running okay as he drove down the highway and it suddenly just stopped running. Now it won't start. Things I checked: 1) Used code reader and it shows no codes. 2) Disconnected fuel line at filter and checked for fuel delivery to that point and it was good. 3) Installed new fuel filter. 4) Checked for spark on at least two spark plug wires and got good spark. 5) Can see thru oil filler cap that drivers side o/h cam is turning and removed valve cover on passenger side and it is turning. 6) Power pack was replaced by a mechanic friend. The engine cranks well and their is a subtle sound of coughing internally.

Sprayed start fluid into throttle body. Did not try to run at all. Did you review all the things I've already tried?

I assume you just made a mistake when you said it might be a "jumped timing belt" as this vehicle has timing chains instead of belt. With that said, one of the things I too suspect is that the car has somehow jumped timing. The coughing internally when I try to start it seems to be a sign that possibly the timing is off. I was able to confirm that both left and right cams are still turning. One by viewing the chain/sprocket through the oil filler hole (driver side) and the other (passenger side) by actually removing the valve cover. So, if it has jumped timing, what test can I perform to confirm?

About 2 weeks ago my car began to not start the first time or two but would afterwards. A few days ago, however it wouldn't start at all! Or crank! The battery is only a few months old so I doubt that's the problem. Any ideas of what it might be and how to fix it?

I tried it and still no luck. Do you think it might be the starter or somewhere along those lines because when it does choose to start its when I have my foot pressed hard on the clutch?

Car studders when trying to start and it wont start

I've got a Ford Mustang GT 2007 that I disconnected the battery from. This was a horrible mistake, because now it won't start.

I've checked both the battery and tried a new battery with no luck, the engine doesn't crank at all. There is no sign of life and a slight "clicking" or "tapping" noise coming from under the dashboard almost at all times.

Radio, lights, heating, door chime. Everything works. The lights doesn't dim when I try to start the car, but the car is completely silent, not a single sign of life from the engine.

It's an automatic.

I spent yesterday crawling under it and confirmed that the starter doesn't get any power.

The SecuriLock icon is slowly flashing on the instrument cluster.

I've got the feeling that it's something with the SecuriLock or some aftermarket alarm system that shut it down thinking it was a theft attempt - but I am not certain.

Is there anyone who's got any suggestions how to fix this?

It would be greatly appreciated.

The lights doesnt dim when I turn the key.

My apologies for possible spelling errors, english is not my first language.

Thanks a lot!

Hi. My car has a hard time starting after sitting for any length of time over half an hour. I have had a new fuel pump, new fuel filter, and new spark plugs installed. I have also cleaned the MAS with the cleaner. The car runs perfectly fine after it is started, but it can take several minutes to actually start. It cranks, but does not start. It Idles at just under 1000 RPM. No knocks, no backfire, no rough idle. The fuel relay switch has been switched with the horn relay (both the same) and horn works with both, so I assume both are fine. I am at a loss on what to check next. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I tried cleaning the throttle body. Didn't help. Also had battery and amps for starter checked and they are good. At a total loss.
