92 stealth rt 3.0 dohc problems starting?

Check all the leads for spark at the plugs. Remove the plugs and check if any are wet. If they are it may indicate that they are not getting any spark so a fault with the leads or distributor.

Ok thank you. The guy I bought if from put all new plugs wires and coil pack in prior to me buying it. So I will check in to that for sure!

If it's all new it might a case of leads getting lose see if you push down on any and feel a click. Anyway check the plugs if you can as they will tell you the state of the igniton. As you mentioned you could smell the exhaust it sounds like there's unburnt fuel going into the fumes. Also check the connections on the coil pack for any cracks.

Thanks again for the help! I will try this!

I really think this car has a mind all of its own. This morning I started it and it started right up and did not act like it did sunday evening. I let it run for about 15 minutes and when I got ready to leave it died... GRRRRRRR lol... I tried to start it back up and it would not stay running. I work at a ford dealership in the service department and I wanted to get up here for one of my friends to look at... but that didn't happen. Im still learning lol... what would you suggest ?

So it runs well at start up when egine is cold, and the after it heats up a bit it dies. This sounds like it might be something to do wth the air idle motor and the air mass flow sensor. When the engine is cold it runs rich and will stay idling, but as soon as it warms up the automatic choke is switched off and the engine will idle just using information send from the air mass sensor, throtle position and coolant sensor to dose the fuel and air. I'd have the air mass sensor checked and cleaned, as well check the plugs like mentioned before just to see if it's not developed a misfire.

Also if it’s stated and you parked while the car is running turn steering wheel all the way to the right Then bring back to the center position and then turn the wheel at medium speed to the left all the way. If this does not make your car create a different sound size the creaking of the wheels. You’ll notice a sound like a change in the motor running. If it does not make a sound then the air idle control needs either cleaned or replaced
