As with any no-start situation, you need to know if you have spark to the plugs, fuel to the injectors, and normal compression to proceed.

    Just about anything is possible. Usually when the computer is the fault you have problems with trouble codes and other functions too. Something like the fuel pressure regulator could be causing the engine to get too much fuel. You might want to disable the fuel pump and see if you can crank the engine enough to dry out the new plugs.

    Its also possible you have a weak spark, good enough to jump a gap in open air but not good enough to fire the plugs under compression.

    BTW - did the check engine light come on when the engine was cutting out ?

  • Anonymous Jan 28, 2013

    yes accualy the check engine light started coming on right before it first stalled on me, it would come on when i was at a lower rpm

    Then the answer to the question may be in the trouble codes stored in the computer. But you would need a scanner or code reader to get them.

    yes i am going to read the codes tomorrow with a buddys scanner, see what comes up,ill keep it updated in the morning

SOURCE: truck won't start, can't hear either fuel pump 1992 Ford F 150 5.

If you can't hear the fuel pump when you turn the key to the on position trying to build up fuel pressure, it is most likely either a voltage issue at the fuel pump or you need to replace the fuel pump. Have you checked your fuel filter? Try turning on the key without engaging the starter and see if you hear the whine of the fuel pump.

Good Luck

SOURCE: 2000 Crown Vic cranks but won't start.

Check the fuel pump reset switch again, if it is popped back out then replace that little switch in the trunk, any ford one will do. it works off a magnet and a bearing to close the circuit for the fuel pump. easy fix.

2003 ford crown victoria shuts off when driving i try to start it up it just cranks but wont start. Already changed the fuel pump and spark plugs and that dont seem to work. Any one please Help??

You'll first need to find out if you are lacking fuel or spark to know where to go next. Do a basic test for fuel pressure with a gauge and spark at the plugs when it fails to start.

Hi Folks, My 99 crown vic has an intermittent stalling issue. I can be driving along and it just cuts out (usually, not always, when I take my foot off the gas). It will start right up at first and...

Was the fuel pump checked out?
Have a scope put on it,to check for a worn armature. May also be binding up mechanically
Also check TPS Sensor data or scope it

Suburban stalls while driving after running for 15-30 minutes. After letting it sit for 5-10 min it runs fine for another 5-10 minutes, then starts doing it all over again.

a bad crank sensor can cause this. shuts off while going down road, and will start about 10 min, later with no problems runs fine until it quits again. hope this helps,
