Asked by Paul Sep 02, 2015 at 08:55 AM about the 2000 Lincoln LS V6

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

because of how bad the winter was, it was
buried for atleast 2 months when finally
unburied I tried getting going but the battery
was completely dead, I bought a brand new
one, still wouldn't kick over, I put a new fuel
filter in, filled with 93 premium gas with an
additive to help with old gas sitting in there,
it has almost started a couple times sounds
very strong trying to start just won't kick over
and stay on it just been dealing with it for
weeks and need my car ASAP I also
checked the blue 15 fuse but is fine anyone
have any suggestions, I believe I can get it
going in my drive way so would rather not
spend the money bringing it somewhere and
spending a bunch of money but if have to
then so be it just need and thoughts or ideas
on what it may be thank you!

I have the exact same problem with my 2000 LS. Replaced battery, fuel pump and filter, Seafoam and 5 gallons of premium gas. It will turn over but not crank. Only way it will run is to spray starter fluid down the throttle body then it'll shut off. The fuse is good and I swapped out the relay. I bought a diagnostic scan tool in hopes that it will tell me what's wrong. Its sitting in the locksmiths parking lot because I just had a new key made. I removed the drivers side kick panel at night and did not see the shut off switch or reset button. What's going on here? Can the fuel pressure sensor be the issue?
