1992 Ford Taurus Cranks No Start
Suggested Repair
Remove the distributor cap and crank the engine to confirm the rotor turns. If it does not, inspect the distributor drive gear for worn or missing teeth. Also inspect the fuel supply and return lines for leaks, restrictions, or other problems that could keep fuel from reaching the engine.

The owner reports spark, a running fuel pump, and a working filter, but suspects fuel is not reaching the engine. A reply describes the same no-start on a 1992 Taurus caused by worn distributor gear teeth that stopped the distributor from turning.
