Hi all new to this forum needing help my ford xe Fairmont ghia won’t start. To date I have removed old fuel from tank replaced fuel filter and fuel pump, replaced some fuel lines, replaced spark plugs.
Car started and ran fine, took it for a drive and all went well. Two days later car won’t start. Today I pulled out all injectors out and tested all good and replaced all o rings from service kit. When I press accelerator while cracking car started but running rich and splatting. Any suggestions? |

If the fuel pressure is too low or the injectors are clogged, the engine might not get enough fuel to start. |

A faulty MAF sensor can cause incorrect air-fuel mixture readings |

Since it started after your initial work but now won’t fire up properly, it could be a few things. Running rich and spluttering might point to a fuel delivery or sensor issue—maybe the fuel pressure regulator or a temperature sensor is acting up, which could cause it to flood. Also, check for any vacuum leaks, as an air leak can mess with the air/fuel mix, making it run rich. Double-check all connections and hoses you touched during the injector work to make sure everything’s seated right. Hopefully, it’s a simple fix—good luck! |
