just double checking, by "just crank, no fire" you mean the starter is actually clicking and that the battery isn't dead.
There wasn't any mention of the battery, so I figured I mention about it. If the battery is old,(i.e. 10 years since is a 96) you may need to recharge/replace it. My car went nucking futs when the battery was in the process of crapping out.
Edit: Does the Zetec have an Idle air control valve? If the hose is off from the duratec the car will not start, and if it does, it will stall as soon as the key is let off.
