Re: 2001 mercury sable won,t start



You need to stop guessing and start diagnosing. Unfortunately, it's hard to do that over the Internet, but one thing you need to check is cylinder compression. Also you need to test fuel pressure with a gauge. How did you "clean" the injectors? That can't be done off the vehicle without a fairly expensive test bench.

A blow gun, carb cleaner, battery, and wire can do it, not as well but it will make a non working injector work (done it before, not sure how safe it is making sparks around carb cleaner you are blowing though a fuel injector but...)

Ya op needs to stop guessing, if the gasket was not the issue you waste all that time and money and maybe broke something else...

if you need to come here to ask what else to change, doing no prior diagnosis, I would be concerned about the car even being put back together correctly (no offence) Leave one thing disconnected, and you can be screwed.

You need to stop and start with the basics...

Compression
Fuel
Spark
