Default 95 GT Crank but won't start

My 95 has been having a problem with getting her to start after doing one or two short trips. It starts fine in the morning and when it is cold, but take it on more than one trip and it cranks but fails to start. Fuel
pump pressure is fine. Replaced injectors and Fuel Relay switch. Won't start until after it cools down. It has 110250 on it and this has not happened since 109000. Another guy online has same issue and replaced the fuel pump. I have also replaced the injectors and the fuel pump relay as well. Has someoneelse come across this issue? Where else do I look?

Don't gue$$$....start with a DIY KOEO/KOER/Cylinder Balance Self-Test ....also check the link for a "EFI No Start" in the page, if you identify it's a "No Spark" problem....do a TFI Module/Hall Sensor Testing Procedure. You need to get the car under the no start condition to be able to ID what's wrong.

I agree with Joel5.0, on my 95GT the starting problem I hadwas the Hall Effect Sensor located inside the distributor housing. Prior to testing the Hall Sensor, I had changed the ignition coil and still the same intermittent start problem. While your at it, may as well change the dist. cap and rotor. After more than 10yrs mine was all pitted out.

Fox owners dont realize that Ford changed the design of the ignition system on the SN-95 to help eliminate the "overheating ignition module" problems that were common in the fox. That is why the ingition module is now mounted on the passenger side fenderwell AND has a pretty duke heatsink on it.

Problem is more than likely in the distributor. If you can, try swapping it with a known good unit and go from there

you would have to either swap to a SN-95 distributor and re-wire have your engine harness... or find a way to hook male spade connectors into the stock fox disty.
