My 97 Grand Marquis wont start I changed fuel pump and filter it turns over but wont start and battery dies?

Check for flow / psi on the fuel rail. You'll see a little valve, looks just like a tire's valve stem.

Check in the trunk for a relay switch probably near well well if one there try resetting relay , if don't work take it to dealer for diagnostics don't keep guessing it's costly
Altanator or ignition coil.



Good Luck
if the battery isnt holding a charge then either your battery is bad or the alternator is shot. depending on the car an alternator is usually about $80-100 but its easy to change.
Cam shaft positioning sensor
Disconnect the Mass Air Flow sensor, and see if it starts
probably the altenator
check the crank trigger for the ignition, it is a little plactic piece just behind the harmonic balancer, sometimes it gets full of grease and dirt and will stop the spark, to see if it is getting spark -pull one spark plug out and as someone turns over the engine check the spark plug to see if it is getting a nice blue spark, if you have no spark and the crank sensor is not broken the coil may be shot, it is on a bracket on the drivers side of the engine, it takes a 5.5mm socket to get the 4 screws out, it has a easy plug in connector, they cost 16.00 at auto zone
