98 Ford Contour Wont start.

[bethanyam]

I'm having issues with my contour that won't start. Ran a little bit rough when parked. Sat over night, then wouldn't start the next morning. There was oil pooled around the spark plugs. We replaced the valve cover gasket, the plugs, and the wires and it still won't crank.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

HAve you checked for spark?? Have you checked the fuel pressure with a gauge???

Have you tryed squirting some carb cleaner into the throttle body to see if it will run with what you squirt into throttle body.

Have you checked for any codes? Is the check engine lite on??
