Water Pump was leaking, apparently causing the vehicle to not start consistently, it turned over, but didn't start. Ford said coolant leaked on the crank sensor, and it should be replaced. Replaced water pump, crank sensor, plugs and plug wires. But vehicle still won't start, fuel pump is working. Engine turns over very well, but won't start. Have spent thousands on this car, and havn't been able to drive it. 1993 (82K Miles), (New Transmission), (New Rotors and Pads), (New Tires), (New Paint and body work), (New Alternator, Plugs, and Wires), (Replaced Moon Roof Switch, and added Factory CD Player), (New OE EATC). Vehicle has been towed 7 times, seller to trans shop, from body shop, to trans shop, to ford, to home, to repair shop 1, to repair shop 2, to ford, to home. Interior is in excellent condition, black leather seats. 1 shop said maybe the injectors weren't firing, other than that it's a mystery. Before water pump leaked, always started no problems. It has a viper 500 remote start alarm. That's it. 2 shops couldn't figure it out.

I checked the ICM at Autozone today, and it failed. Replaced it, but it still didn't start. Tomorrow I will check the Iginition coil.

What is its location? Replaced Iginition Control Module, still won't start! Okay, there is spark because the engine runs when starter fluid is sprayed directly in. However it cuts off afterwards, it's like fuel is not getting in. Fuel pump works. PCM controls injectors right? Am trying to get to PCM, but was thinking about the relay. Could PCM relay be the cause?
