Good Morning My Freinds. This morning when I was leaving to goto work, I started up my 96 taurus. Put in Reverse , Then Motor Died. after Trying to restart, , i went to the store for coffee and walked back to retry. No luck.. Anyway 40 dollar cab ride later, I am here at work and thought i Toss this out here , if there is something simple that would make it decide to stop running . Being a not so perfect transmission, it did jump into reverse hard. After it quit, Appears no spark or no fuel.. Anyway. Was just hoping that maybe the jolt knocked something loose.

Will the motor crank? If not, maybe its the neutral safety switch I believe is located in the shift column. This switch is designed to allow the car to crank/start only with the car in park or neutral. But if the engine cranks allright ,then thats probably not your problem.

Motor will crank yes. I know right? that would have fit the bill.
