Car Wont Star??? Suddenly

I drove my 93fd to work today, no problem, its now lunch and she wont start.
all she does is crank when i turn the key, no turn over at all. and whats weird is that after i tried for like 10 min. kept crankin. i checked the coolant and there was a lot of pressure in it. like it overflowed when i took the cap off. its warm, not hot.
and it is leakin a little coolant under the tranny somewhere.

any ideas guys, im stranded at work till i figure it out. its almost like its not getting fuel.

check your engine fuse (by footrest pedal inside) and egi (30 amp one not the big green one in engine bay). Might have a short somewhere, G

1. Check the battery. I've seen batteries that had enough power to power the accessories but not enough to start the car. Try getting a jump.

2. Try opening up one of the nipples on the brake booster line side of the UIM and shooting in some WD-40. After that, see if it cranks over.

I sweare these cars are just dying lately. It could be flooded by now with all the cranking. Your gunna have to unflood it. Pull the egi fuse and crank for a while. That or your out of gas completely haha. Give that ashot. Check to see if your freakin plug wires magically came un done or something. Or your coil pack harness ripped or popped off somewhere?
