My 1999 ford taurus wont start i changed the starter and the alternator and got a new battery?

Need more details.



The vehicle needs 'fire' and 'fuel' in the right proportions, at the right time.



I am assuming from the parts you have replaced that you strongly believe there is an electrical problem. As in the engine NOT turning over adequately under ignition.



It is possible that one of the replaced parts could be defective from the 'parts' shop, especially if they are discount or rebuilt.



If you are initially getting good 'turnover' speed under ignition you might check;

-are you getting adequate spark at each plug (approx. 30,000 volts) be careful here

-are you getting fuel into the cyclinders

- ignition timing

possibly computer chip (very expensive)



If NOT getting good 'turnover';

- could engine may be 'siezed'

- possibly broken serpentine belt



You might also rent/purchase a 'code reader' and decipher the engine codes which should give a good indication. Once power has been disconnected (as in battery replacement) the 'chip' resets the memory, thus clearing the codes.



There is a 'switch' generally located in the trunk that disable the fuel pump on EFI models if 'jarred' (as in a collision) as a 'safety' device.

Get a new car!!! I have the same piece of crap and my car starts when it wants 2!!!! It might be the transmission
maybe it's the fuel pump. did you just do all of those things randomly, i mean come on.
Are you using the correct key to start it?
its a problem with the computer
have you tried putting it in neutral then starting it. if this works you need a neutral safety switch ( ithink thats what it is called) i had this problem on a probe.
ditch it.

get a 2006 ford taurus like me!!
