My 2000 Taurus Wagon ran hot and won't start even with a good battery?

How long did you run it hot? If it was a long time, then get ready to fork out some big bucks on a new engine, because you trashed the one that's in it.
FIRST check the CRANK POSITION SENSOR which tells the computer when TDC on number one is achieved! Do NOT assume the worst yet! Which engine do you have, the 24V 3.0 liter engine? These are SUPERIOR engines made lilek BENZ engines are, with HIGH SILICON content and are nearly bullet proof! If it OVER HEATED< you wilL need new HEAD BOLTS for about $40-50 a set as they will have OVER S T R E T C H E D To save the head and block! Once they are TOO LONG< you will have internal leaks! Remove plugs AND SEE IF ANY COOLANT PUMPS OUT OF IT! Good luck! YOU DO NOT NEED WHOLE NEW ENGINE! Just repair what you already have! LOWER END rods, pistons, beraings etc will STIL be fine!

- Ford F-150 Truck started, ran rough. Now won't start at all. Any ideas? 1977 Ford F-150 with carburetor, 8 cylinders. After several attempts, it started immediately (without the usual starter crank-up sound), ran loud & rough like a lawnmower. I turned it off, now it won't start. Starter is strong, battery full, airfilter good, fresh fuel is reaching the carb. Weather is hot and slightly humid. Anyone have a guess?
