95 windstar won't start, Primary and secondary coil resistance

I have a 95 windstar, cranks but won't start. Checked and changed plugs, all plugs are sparking. No OBD codes, smell gas from cranking. started fine in the morning but would not start at lunch. Almost acts like it is way out of timming?

Checked Primary and secondary coil resistance, Primary within range .74 ohms on all 3, Secondary 13.8k-ohms, range should be 6.5 to 11.5, could this be the cause? Now looking into fuses and fuel system. I hear fuel pump purge and smell gas, also notice a gas smell in the oil, do not know if that is because of all the cranking without it firing.

only code was a P1405 and I found a bad vacuum hose and replaced it. No other codes are showing, erased the code and it is clear. Do codes only record if the engine is running?

Any help?

Re: 95 windstar won't start

Hello

How many miles on your 95? Here are some of my thoughts: If you have high miles you may be low on compression. Do a compression test. Your timing chain may of jumped a tooth and your cam may be out of time with the crank. I just had this happen to my truck. (this will also cause low compression.

Yes the gas smell in the oil is possibly from trying to start without it firing.

Regards

Dan
