1999 Ford Taurus PLEASE HELP!

Hi Patty,

What happens when you turn the key?
Nothing?
If so, check the battery connections carefully.

Are the lights bright when you turn them on?

OR
IT turns over but doesn't start?

I have to assume it is NOT cranking, therefore nothing happens when you turn the key to the crank position.

Since it has been starting and cranking fine prior to the 2 month rest, I would first try to rap on the starter motor several times and see if it cranks then. Since there are moving aprsts in the starter, it may just be temporarily seized.

I need the 8th digit of the VIN on the car.

This is not cranking right?

That was what I was looking for, this is diagnose no start, which is different than diagnose no crank.

I assume you mean the throttle body is where you sprayed the fluid. So it "sounds" like we are dealing with a lack of spark issue. Since it was working prior, I waould bo after a connection problem. The bad news is is may be on a ciruit that controls both fuel and spark.

Pull a spark plug out and get a look at it and describe it after you crank it a few times, is it white, black, wet etc.

Also have someone turn the key to the on position, not cranking and listen to the area where you put the gas in, do you hear a hum?

Check the reset button for the heck of it, typically in the trunk on the left rear.

Still need the VIN's 8th digit.

One worry is the possibility of a rodent chewing wires.
