have a 1997 Ford Taurus GL. 3.0 Liter. 230,000miles. It has been a very reliable vehicle over the years until now. Two weeks ago it began to stall while driving. I made it home and parked in the garage. I started the car in the morning it ran. I drove another vehicle to work. I came home from work started the Taurus, ran and died. Now it cranks and no start. I have no fuel pressure. When I turn the key the check engine light does not come on. When I turn the key I hear no fuel pump. I connected my OBD2 code reader to pull codes and get “failure to communicate†message. I disconnected the CCRM and connected a jumper wire on pin 5 and 11 the fuel pump runs and I get fuel pressure. It appears the PCM is not sending a signal to the fuel pump relay. I am looking for a PCM relay to test. Not sure were it is located. I can’t find it on the wiring diagram. In the past 5 months I have replaced battery, alternator, starter, rear sway bar links, coolant reservoir, egr valve, and transmission pan (I ran over a deer and punctured a hole in the pan). I would like to keep the car for winter driving and knock around car. Not worth much to anyone but me.
