Asked by Amy Dec 27, 2016 at 10:06 AM about the 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So, on xmas night I went to start my car, and it wouldn't start for me, for the 1st time.  What's
weird about it is I went to check again a few hrs later and it started right up.  Now ever since
then it has been starting, except for yesterday, when I got gas, I shut it off and it did not start rite
up for me,  I tried a few times and maybe on the 3rd try it started for me.  Now this morning it
won't start, I located the fuel shut off switch in the trunk but I can't tell if it's off or on, the red part
of it is down and I don't want to be pushing stuff if it's not necessary, but if this isn't the problem
what should be the 1st thing for me to check.? ?  BTW all the lights come on in the car as
well....please help!!!

Don't touch that switch, I think its fuel related and may be your pump, and I would use this as a starting point, you need to see what the pump pressure is, if you don't have the tools then you will need to bring it to a repair shop.
