Ford Focus Won't Start!

If none of the above works a lighted match should get it going...

I had one that was similar to that and found out there was a fuel cut off switch behind a panel down by accelerator,presseed it and away it went

I too think a switch has been pressed as it turns over fine but doesn't even try to fire! Will crack a hose to see if ought comes out. Will also check to see if any fuses have gone too!

I have a car on my drive that had petrol in 08 still starts first time over so petrol is a really long shot. Take the plugs out and clean them, check you have a spark, check you have petrol getting through. Presumably you have an electric pump so carefully crack the line or perhaps the plugs are wet.

 

I loaned my welding generator out on Saturday, last used and left with fuel in 9 years ago, started 3rd pull.

 

RE the focus is it young enough to have an OBD2 diagnostic port? Some cars won't trigger the injector if the fuel doesn't reach pressure.
