1999 ford contour will not start

Was the tank completly empty for that time? if so you have condensation aka water in three fuel lines.

Good question. I was not clear in the description. The tank had about 2 gal. of gas with sta-bil additive.

That's no enough to prevent condensation. Was the.engine Light

Gerrrrr. Was not done but my phone thought other wise. Any way was the engine run for 15 minutes after the stable was added?

Knowing I was going to be laid up I added the sta-bil and my wife drove me to and from the surgery. Car was running fine when parked. Only car issue was a new alternator a year before. I thought I'd just charge the battery and fire her up. Cranks but will not fire Is there something with the computer to reset if it has no battery for a while? Just grasping.

The engine is the 2.5L six.

I can hear the fuel pump - left driver's side kick panel - hum/buzz for about a second when I turn the key to "on" but not engine start.

Got it. Thanks all for such responses!!! I figured I might get one response in a couple of days. I'll check those and get back to you with the results.
