95 SHO wont start NEED HELP!!!
just got a 95 taurus sho 3.2L auto with 125000 miles for 400 dollars SWEET.. anyway got it home the car will crank over and basicly start but will backfire and die right away i havent done anything to it yet but i was thinking timing belt broke or skipped but they just did that at 100000 miles another thing is the dsi is bad, cam sensor is bad or the crank sensor is bad.... thought i would ask first before i started to rip into it thanks

I doubt the timing belt is broken or it wouldn't fire at all.
Crank sensors go bad quite a bit, typically from the water pump leaking on them. Typically when you replace the timing belt you replace the water pump and crank sensor and do it all at one time because its accessible.
