Engine Performance problem
2001 Ford Mustang 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Last week my car wouldnt start so AAA came and gave it a start. It started right up and was fine for the next 4 days. Yesterday I went to start the car and it did'nt start. I bought a new battery, and it still didnt start. I hear spark plugs, alternater, starter. I just dont know. it cranks just doesnt start. Any idea what it could be?

Get a starting fluid or ether and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
