My 2001 ford focus will crank but will not start?

I had some oil leaking so my husband rinsed off the left side of the car under to hood to get oil off now it will not start it was running great before he did this we have replaced the spark plugs and put a new fuel. Pump in and a fuel pressure sensor new battery it will crank when you turn it over but it will not start. What are we miss in please help

It could be a simple relay or fuse. At least you know its cranking good. The part I think was a spark plug. It works off a coil which operates off of the computer, and is the last part to get spark before it starts your engine. Inside the car is a fuse for the coil or ignition. The computer might have one that says EFI. So check your Computer or have a mechanic check out you might need to reset it or buy a new fuse.

Turn the key to RUN. Watch the check engine light. It should be on. Then turn the key to START and crank the engine. If the crankshaft position sensor is sending a good signal to the computer, the light will go off during cranking. If it stays on, the crankshaft position sensor is bad or there's water in the wiring harness.

Just dry every thing out water on coil and wires

  • Why will my car half-crank, but not turn over? I have a 2004 ford taurus, with starting problem. Its not a no start no crank, but its also not a crank no start. Its more of a half-crank no start, and the HUD is displaying a low oil pressure reading but car is full of oil. The car does a half crank then just stalls out.
