No matter how many times we have all written this, here I go again...

When asking for help and/or advice to diagnose a problem or series of problems, it is always helpful to state what the model year and model of the car you are trying to fix is...

Don't be like some of the idiots on the (now defunct) Taurus Performance Page who posted messages like "...my car is leaking oil from under the hood somewhere, can you tell me where it's leaking from?...".

What kind of answers do you think those types of questions received?

I'd check here for your problem first.

or here

Then here is a few questions.

Is the fuel pump running?
Have you checked the fuel pump relay.
