I reolaced the water pump in my 98 ford tarus 200,000 miles. Now the engine will turn but not fire. When I replaced the water pump I disconnect and removed the altenator and disconnected the crank sensor but I connected everything back. Again the engine will turn but not fire. Any Idea of what the problem is?

Thanks

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, cap and rotor, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing
