My Fd won't start ughhhhhhh!
 
Today I started my Fd and it rev'd up to 2k rpm as normal then dropping down to 1k rpm. Shortly after it started going up and down and then it dropped and completely and died, now it won't even start. Tried to jump it and nothing happened. There doesn't seem to be any leaks of any fluids anywhere. Help please before I go to some incompetent mechanics who pretend to know what there doing but don't and still charge me an arm and a leg.

Maybe it's flooded. Wait a while before trying to start it again.

Or you can get something into the combustion chambers to help seal them up. You can remove the spark plugs and squirt some oil (or ATF) in there, as is commonly suggested. I have also had luck by using the nipples on the UIM where you normally connect a boost gauge -- put a little oil in there.

You need to check the fuel pump ballast resistor under the brake booster.
