Car will not start, without starting fluid?
I have a 2001 ford mustang that won't start unless i spray starting fluid into it, it starts up then but after spraying alot and dies out after a minute of it running or when i go to push on the gas pedal. It was flooded a little bit when the street was flooded if that has anything to do with it.
My guess is that the timing is out of alignment. This should be easily fixed at a garage.
More likely a fuel supply problem, as it runs on the starting fluid but that's all. Check the fuel filter, drain any water out, and replace it. Water in the tank or pipes?
Personally I'd disconnect the fuel supply pipe after the filter and carefully let it pump into a jug or something to see that what you're getting is clean fuel in suitable quantities Then when that's achieved try again. No luck? Then start looking at the injectors.
Next time you get it started, drive it straight to a fix-it-garage you trust and tell them the problem. The Mustang is a good car so whatever it takes to fix it is worth it.
Don't use any more starting fluid. It is very very bad on any engine. Especially in gas applications.
Is the fuel filter on tight?
Plugged fuel filter and or low fuel pressure. You can't flood a fuel injected engine.
- How to start car without pressing Clutch? 2004 Ford Ranger. I lost the use of the fingers on my right hand. Could someone tell me how to start truck with only the left hand. Ignition on right side of steering column. I put it in neutral with parking brake on. I turn the key from the left side, but can't press the clutch down. Is there a way to start this truck from passenger side with left hand without pressing clutch and then walk around to drivers side, get in and drive.
- If Graham is so upset about people making charges without evidence then why is he accusing Ford of lying without any evidence and the DNC? "putting her up to it" with no evidence for that claim either? Privately? Why? These are public hearings and a lifelong appointment. If somebody's going to speak up they'd better do it now.
- How is the fluid from my radiator on my 1996 Ford Thunderbird mixing with my auto transmission fluid? I've asked and asked and no one seems to have an answer. Please any ideas would be helpful to give me some sort of clue as to where to start to get this fixed. The car still runs fine but its starting to effect the gears changing. Please any ideas would help.
- My car doesn't start or has a hard time starting? I have a 2005 Ford Explorer XLT V6 4.0 Flex Fuel with 126000 miles in it. When staring the engine it turns over fine, then sometimes sputters and stalls. I have to push the gas peddle to keep it alive. I just changed the fuel filer and put new spark plugs and wires in. I think it might be the gas pump.
