1995 Ford Probe 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual

I have a 95 ford probe gt 2.5L V6 5-speed. After it got cold outside the car would not start. I automatically assumed the battery so replaced that with a brand new one as the old one was no good anymore according to the shop. After replacing that and the spark plugs the car still will not start. When replacing the spark plugs I noticed that five of the plugs were wet with fuel, the sixth one was bone dry. I have checked all the fuses. I can now hear the fuel pump come on when I turn the key to on. The fuel cut off switch was not tripped. And the timing belt looks like it is good still. Not sure what to do anymore.

Do below

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-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,coil's resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
