Need to start hot wire my engine to a ford falcon 2000

sounds like battery not at full voltage, or an earth

SOURCE: 1999 ford taurus starter will not engage

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

To my knowledge, you assumption is correct on most designs. That wire should go to the ignition switch and will be hot when key is in START. However, same wire often would be connected first to a relay that is interlocked with some conditions/status other then key to START. They would be:

• automatic transmission should be in neutral/park with light indicated;
• alarm/security/immobilizer is inactive/OFF.

SOURCE: wife is stuck with sister,

I am not a Ford expert but has she tried unlocking the car with the outside driver's door key cylinder? This works on most makes and models to disarm the alarm.

SOURCE: engine races hot or cold

It sounds very much like the idle air valve is faulty as I have just had same sort of problem I fitted a new idle air valve and it has cured mine. Unfortunately these idle air valves are not cheap. They are about £70 from ford but you can get them on ebay for about £30 from partsdome
