Car cranks, wont start

Asked by Balls Apr 02, 2023 at 07:48 PM about the 1996 Ford Mustang Coupe RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Drive a 96 ford mustang base model, recently
a hose burst causing it to overheat, after
replacing the hose and refilling the radiator it
drove a higher temp than usual and had the
check engine light popup, after pulling over
and turning it off and letting it cooldown once
more I made sure that there was enough
coolant as well as checking all fluid levels,
everything looked fine, went to start it up
again and it would crank but would not start,
my only thoughts of possibility is the fuel
pump or spark plugs, still not entirely sure.

Do a compression test to see if the head gasket is blown before you spend any money or check for proper spark , fuel pressure and injector pulse
