I am the owner of a 1985 lincoln town car. I just recently tried to start the car but it just wont do it. The engine turns over but it doesnt come to life. About a few months ago I cleaned out the fuel pump thinking it was the problem and it was. I did this again recently and well it just doesnt start. Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks.

If there is not spark, start checking the fuses. there is a fuse panel under the hood that has ignition and engine circuit fuses and some relays that could be bad. Check these out. Also check the fuses in the dash. There could be something effecting ignition there also.
