Hi there, well you should probably try to pinpont the problem, Iam not a real pro, but i would by a can of QUIK START, AND just take the hose from yr air filter wher it connects to yr throutle body, and just quikly spray rite in the few times, rite put the hose back and go try to start the car, depending on yr outcome, you can than make a solid desision if it your electrical side or the fuel management, you know what oi mean, i recvon it will start stride away after you spray it, andand if yes than it could be yr fuel pump, or a leak somwher in the system and it loosing presia, but anyway 1st thing is 1st rite.. lol.. G/ luck, hope it helpes you. Tony

Look at the red light on dash. If you crank engine and the red light blinking it’s your passive security system locking the car out you gotta buy new OEM keys cause the came with chips and have Ford or someone with a high end OBD2 tool to flash and synchronized them. I’m in the middle of this S show rite now with 2002 Lincoln LS. I WILL have this figured out and will share findings
Did you ever figure out why it didn’t start I’m having the same problem
Check fuel shut off/reset button behind driver side kick panel.
