What's up guys, about 3 months ago I picked this up from a friend's dad for $200. No I did not forget a zero. He had let it sit for 2 years. Before I had it towed to my house, I was messing with it. The first time I started it up, it started fine and ran it for about 5 seconds before I shut it off. Unfortunately the car refuses to run after that. I'm thinking something might have gotten clogged. Anyways, I checked the fuse under the dash which is fine and replaced the fuel pump relay. Can't hear the pump turn on when I turn the key in the ON position, but when I replaced the fuel filter, the gas would not stop pouring out. Car does run when pouring a little bit of gas down the TB though. Also, I replaced the spark plugs and made sure it had spark. Maybe time to replace the pump? What do you guys think? Anyways, here are a few pics of the $200 project...

First got it home, filthy as hell.



The 5.slow, bored .30 over I am told.





Then I gave it a good bath...









I've since taken off the ugly *** tint, and buffed the hell out of it. Shines a lot better now.

And my other car, an 03 crown vic police interceptor...



Let me know what you guys think! Thanks

 

looks clean, except for the giant dent in the drivers side door lol, i like the crown vic to...for $200, i think you got one hell of a deal

 

Welcome to the forum.
I would give it a good tune up, after sitting for 2 years all kinds of stuff can be gunking up the fuel lines. Clean them out and it might work for you.

 

Heck, $200 is sweet, you can get a new door easy enough. Well worth the lowered price!

 

Thanks guys... I forgot to mention... It came with a new red door all ready to go.

Edit: And my bad about posting the tech question. Just saw the sticky.
