I’ve got a 96 gt that will crank but not start. I’ve already checked for spark and it’s getting spark. I’ve checked the fuel pump and it works fine. I even checked to see if the fuel rail was getting fuel and it is. I also tested the crank positioning sensor and it’s working as it should. The starter works fine too. The problem started one night when I tried starting it and it just barely started and ran terribly for about 2 seconds and shut off. I got it towed to my house and boosted the battery and it started right up. I successfully started it twice the next day and drive it to work with no issues, but I did notice the low oil light and low coolant light come on (both are filled correctly) but when I got home from work the problem occurred again that night. Cranks but won’t start. Whatever it is is intermittent and I’m lost as far as what else to check.

Check the Idle Air Control valve. Those go out fairly regularly.
