I have a 84 Grand Marquis that is not starting. It is getting spark and
fuel but all it dose is turn over kind of slow. What it did is I was driving it and it just died and would not start again.

If it is a new battery, check the cables and make sure they are tight. a new battery can be defective, get it checked at the store like autozone.

check the volts on the battery with a volt meter. then check the volts at the starter. meters run about 10-50 bucks for cheap to good ones

check the fuel pressure with a gauge, it should be 30-35psi

I did everything mentioned above. One thing I did not mention it dose is
it only gets spark at the coil when you first try and start it then no spark.

I would take off the coils or coil and have the resistence checked at a parts store. Have them check the whole thing.i know autozone does it for free!
