1996 Hard Time Starting Hello,
I have a 96 crown victoria with 120k miles on it. I just inherited this car from my mom when she passed away and I have a few questions.
In the morning after the car has sat overnight, it takes a while for the car to start. Almost like it is out of gas. I have to turn the ignition over multiple times, then it kind of sputters and then will finally start to run. If I start the car anytime after that it fires up just fine. It seems to only happen when it sits for a while. Then once I started driving it, I made the turn out of my neighborhood and the car just died. It fired right back up and hasn't happened since.
I was thinking the fuel injectors, but I would think it would sputter all the time if the injectors were clogged. Fuel pump maybe?
Also, there has been a little rain and increased humidity in Las Vegas over the past few weeks and I have noticed now, that the car is squeaking. If I go up a parking ramp or turn the car squeaks from what sounds like the shocks or wheel area. Any ideas as to what this could be? It only started after the car got rained on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am new to these cars.
Thank you! |
