Have you checked to see if you have spark?
 






wow that had happen to me my ground cable was loose
 






Have you checked fuel pressure at the fuel rail? I'd also check the fuel pressure regulator to make sure it's not blown. If the fuel pressure regulator diaphragm is blown, your fuel pump could be pushing fuel into the vacuum system instead of to the injectors.
 






thanks!

thanks these are very helpfull suggustions i will try them first.it does have pressure to the fuel rail and spark so i think when it stops raining i will go check the regulator. thanks again.
 






still wont start!

i replaced the fuel pressure regulator and it still does the same thing.when i spray starting fluid in the intake it will start but then dies.what about the computer brain?or maybe the injectors.
 






mine too

mine is doing the same thing also changed plugs got good spark, have fuel pressure at the rail sounds like air around the fuel reg pulled off vac line put mighty vac on it and stilll does same thing anyone no whats wrong
 






p.o.s;;;;;;;

this is getting aggrevating! how about the comp. brain? does that have anything to do with it?if not i have a 1995 exployer white no dents,low miles for a 95,for sale or trade.or possible weenie roast;ha ha ha ha
 






When you checked fuel pressure, did you use a gauge, or did you just verify there was pressure? What was the pressure?

The other thing you could do is check for injector pulsing. You will need a noid light. Professional noid lights cost app $50 for a set, but if you are good with a soldering iron, I can tell you how to make one for less than $3.

Get a small 12volt incandesent light bulb. Small as in dash light, dash idiot light. Not a brake light blub. And not a led bulb.
Take a 1" piece of SOLID 8 or 10 gauge copper wire, and hammer it flat! Then cut the flat piece of wire into two equal lenghts.
Next get 12 " of 20 ~ 22 gauge stranded wire, and cut that into two equal lenghts.
Solder 1 piece of stranded wire to each lead of the light bulb, and then solder 1 piece of flat wire to the other end of the stranded wire.
Now take heat shrink tubing, and cover every connection, so that only 1/4 inch of the end of the flat wire is not covered.

You can now un-plug one of the injectors, and plug the flat copper wire into the harness.
Try to start the engine, if the injectors are being pulsed, the light will flash. The flashing should be fairly obvious. If you do not see the flash, you will need to check the injector fuses, and then look at the ECU,

If it does flash, you will need to double check your fuel pressure. I believe harbor frieght sells a tester, you need around 45psi (can remember exactly off the top of my head).

But since the car runs on starter fluid, you know that compression is good, and parts of the ECU is good.
 






piece of ford,but i love my truck

i still havent got it running,i do have spark and gas , air.the rail pressure is a little low but it still should start.hoe do you check the computer brain? getting tired of this crap!!!!!!!!!
 






Well you know you have compression and spark, (since it runs on starter fluid). You have a problem with gas. You do not state how you checked pressure, did you buy a gauge? What is the PSI? Did you build a noid light? Did the light flash? You have to give more specific details, or take it to a professional. From this point is should be easy to figure out why it will not start, but you must take the proper steps.
 






think ifound it.

im being tild its the comp .brain
 












fixed mine

mine was the pcm that was bad got it on ebay bryant motorsports out of portsmyth va for 45.00 shipped good luck hope that helps
