1994 Ford Taurus won't start?

So yesterday it rained really hard here. I was driving in the rain and my car started misfiring but then went back to running fine. Today I started it and it ran for about 30 second then started spitting and died. There was no water in the distributor cap and it looked fine. I noticed a couple spark plug wires were moist and the rubber was ripped so I replaced all the wires. I started it up again and it ran fine for about 10 seconds then died again. Now it won't start and barely fires. Any ideas?

Check your fuel pump and fuel line for leaks or being plugged. You might also pull your plugs and make sure they are the proper gap and aren't oil fouled or anything.

  • Why won't my ford taurus start? Going 65 down a highway then pedal to the metal the speedometer gets lower and lower until about 30 then just dies altogether… Sat on side of road trying to start it for about half an hour then it starts and goes about a mile and the exact same thing happens… Now it will not start.is it fuel pump and how can I tell
  • I have a 2002 Ford Taurus that won't start? It started one minute, I drove home. Later that night it just wouldn't start. It cranks and tries but fails. The pump turns on. I'm assuming it's not getting fuel. My question is what could cause it to not start. Or what would prevent fuel from getting to the engine beside the injectors and the fuel filter
  • 2001 ford Taurus won't start when its cold out? Hi, I have a car that I'm having trouble with. For awhile I could get it started in the cold weather just by hooking up a charger and it would start right away. The battery is new and at full. We think its a fuel problem, however the heater in this car doesn't work either. Any suggestions, where do I start with my trouble shooting? when the weather is warm, the car starts every time. I'm sorry, yes it does turn over.
