My 1995 Taurus has been driving great. I went out at lunch time to start it and it was a little difficult to start, but started and then ran great on the way home. When I got ready to come back to work it would not start. I checked the oil and water and they are ok. The starter turns over just fine and the battery and altinator seem ok too. Can you give me any suggestions as to why it won't start?

Thanks for your help!

Start with the basics, and work your way up, Last tune up was? Wires plugs ALL filters? If all that is ok, check for a stuck EGR, then test fuel pump pressure, If it won't restart, determine what's missing, the engine needs three things to run, Spark at all plugs, gas to all cylinders, and compression in all cylinders, tho an engine may run lacking one in one cylinder, it won't run very well!
