[b:bd7aea292d]My car was running fine.. oh sorry.
I have a 1995 mercury tracer. 1.9l 4 cyl
It was running fine, but it has been a long time since i changed my spark plugs, so I decided to change them.. I bought the ones that were pre gapped. i removed the old plugs and replaced the new ones, one at a time. finally got done, and the car ran alright.. then turned it off, then got back in the car, and wen't down the road. The care was running for about 3 minutes, and then just died all at once, and wont start back up. it didn't glug glug or anything. just died! please help!![/b:bd7aea292d]

will the car turn over now or does it just not do anything? clean your battery terminals and also check your grounding to the body from the negative.... good luck :)

Hi,

I'm havnig a similar problem. My car is a 1999 Sable Wagon. Where you able to find out what the problem was with your car?
On my car, I was driving on the highway and all of a sudden I lost power. No warning at all. So far I can't figure out what's wrong.
On my car it turns over, but it never starts. There is enough power, spark plugs are new.
