Hey whats up, i hope someone can help me. I got a 2003 lincoln town car that doesnt turn on. I mean it cranks up but doesnt turn on. I checked my fuel rail to see if its sending wich it is. It must be something electrical. Iduno! Im tired of trying, so i just wanted to go old skoo fashion to get it started but first i just need to know what to buy and from where... Thank you
 
You're trying to open a larger can of whoop-ass than you know.

Do you have an OBD2 code reader? This is what you need to get started.

How long has this car been sitting?

A can of Ether from Autozone and see if it fires on that
You checked your fuel rail to see if it is sending? fuel (which it is) is not sufficient
You need to check the actual fuel pressure
Buy a scan tool (cheap code readers with PIDS capability are only about 40 bucks online)

Right, you need to figure how to get spark out of what you got
Switching to what exactly as far as a distributor or carb for a 03 Lincoln?
You just need a new (to you) older car if you want that

I have the sneaking suspicion that the "pop" you heard might have been the final words of the ECU.

Do you have that OBD2 code reader yet?
