1997 Ford Crown Victoria Repair Question
Mileage: 91,000 miles.
Will not start or run
Answer
start with basics. check for fuel pressure, spark and compression. after that, we can go forward when we determine which area is lacking.
Roy
it is getting fuel and has compression and even tried new coil packs and plug wires but still not firing or running
is there any spark coming out of the coils??
what is the fuel pressure??
Roy
between 40 and 45 psi of fuel pressure and there is no spark what so ever the only thing I haven't replaced is the computers
you need to see if you have a crank signal telling the pcm the motor is turning. you need a scan tool to see if there is an rpm signal when cranking.
dont be too quick to throw a computer at it till you make sure it is a failure.
Roy
i have hook my scan tools to the car several times but they all say can't communicate with the PCM or link failure
