My Bronco 2 didn't want to start up all of a sudden does any one know how to get it to start up?

Question

MY BRONCO 2 IS A FUEL INJECTED TYPE OF CAR AND I HAVE HAD IT FOR 10 YEARS OR MAYBE A LITTLE LONGER

IT MAKES A SOUND LIKE IF IT WANTS TO START UP BUT IT WONT START

Answer 1

Several times a day, someone asks a very similar question to your's.

It's very helpfull to include a little more information in your question to help us, help you, in your times of trouble.

Some of the simple things to include in your question is:

1) Year of car.
2) Make of the car.
3) Model of your car.
Those three things can help us narrow down known issues with particular vehicles that have certain problems that occur on a regular basis. (ie. recalls and such)

Next, If you could give a more detailed explanation of what is happening when you turn the key to start your car.
1) Nothing happens?
2) You hear a "click", but nothing else?
3) You hear the starter turning, but the engine doesn't turn?
4) The starter turns the engine, but the engine won't start up?
5) The engine turns over, but very slowly.
6) the engine turns, but there's an awful banging noise?

Lastly:
What happened last time you drove it?

1) Drove home fine last night, just won't start today?
2) Was driving fine, and it just died on you?
3) You haven't driven it in a while. It's been parked in storage?

I like to say: "The better the question, the better the answer"


"Won't start" is pretty vague. It could be hundreds of posibilities.
Dead battery, Low battery, bad ground wire to engine, bad power wire to starter, bad power wire to battery, bad connection at battery post or terminals, blown fuse, bad key switch, bad starter, bad fuel pump, bad injectors, out of gas, neutral safety switch, seized engine, broken connecting rod, no compression, no spark, bad oil pressure switch, broken timing belt, plugged fuel filter, bad starter solenoid, bad starter, broken rotor, cracked distributor cap, Anti-theft device, water in/on engine, out of gas, vacuum leak, bad gas, bad ignition coil, blown computer, faulty cam or crank sensor ...

I could list 50 more things easiy...

When you turn the key to start it, what happens?

Could you be a little bit more specific??

ADDED:
Sounds like a deadish battery or loose connections.
Could be a leaking head gasket that let one of the engines piston cylinder to fill with water causeing it to hydrolock.

Answer 2

Get a can of starting fluid, spray a little (a LITTLE!) in the intake behind the air filter, try to start it and then make sure to put the air filter and cover back on.

Answer 3

If it makes a click sound when you try to start it you need to get a new starter or a battery.

Answer 4

check the solenoid
