Im having trouble starting my 91 talon n/t 5-speed. It has fuel, spark, compression, and air. Timing was never tampered with. Cam gear marks line up. I also changed the coolant temp sensor and plugs. I changed that because it was flooding the plugs and read that that was the problem. Just fixed that today and still no start. Everything is stock. I tried using starting fluid. Ive searched all of the threads and don't know where to go next. Anyone have any ideas.?

Thanks in advance, Jake.
 
Maybe a sensor? Cam sensor perhaps, if there is one, but I believe its called the cas or cam angle sensor. If that doesn't work try changing swapping ecus ofcourse, that's always worth a shot if u have an extra one laying around. However if you're getting spark, fuel, and compression. The only thing it could really be is something electrical, so ecu or some sensor is your problem. That's why I would start with the ecu then the cas.

Last but not least could just be the wiring harness, which is probably more of a pain replacing than anything.
 
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking ecu. Ill have to check it, but it cranks and cranks but won't just turn over. What other sensor would it be, if it's not coolant temp sensor, that prohibits it from firing but lets it crank? The car has been sitting for a while, but never had an issue with starting no matter how long it sat. Then one day it began to not start. Any other opinions appreciated.. Thanks
