If it were PATS it would just crank over, but not start.
PATS Issue - Car Won't Stay Cranked
- Thread starter 98SVTContour98
- Start date
i'm hoping it's not PATS, I just thought that based on what I read other places....a fuse would be great lol
ANu chance you bumped and messed up a ground at the core support? I think your year still has two small grounds right there in front of the battery and the CCRM is apparently super sensitive to ground issues
not yet...still working on it...checked intertia, battery connections, ground wires, fuel sensor, and spark...all that is good to go...seems like computer is killing the fuel/spark once it cranks. Might have to re-code the key or something like that.
A buddy is supposed to be coming over sometime this weekend to put some sort of scanner on it to read the computer.
I'll update once he takes a look.

Did you check your fuses like I suggested?

yes all fuses are good to go as well
gonna hook up whatever tool my buddy has from the dealership and then go from there I suppose.
I'll update the thread though once I hear something.
really appreciate everyone's time and suggestions.

Just be sure to let us know how it goes. Someone else down the road might have this issue as well. Good thread

Not the compurer ,, i believe it is fuel related, as in a bad pump .
Even if the pump still primes?
Test your pressure at the rail with the scrader valve. Do you know where it's located

Did i think...fuel came out after the pump primed...once i cranked it over and that fuel ran out nothing came out.
I'm eager to hear the results from the Ford Tech and his/her tests.
You might have intial pressure but loosing it

In theory if you want to rule out the fuel pump , if the pump is good you will still have pressure at the valve even when it dies

ok...it very well could be the pump then...just weird it would instantly happen after disconnecting/reconnecting the battery.
Hopefully my buddy comes through tomorrow
Provided the PCM isn't preventing it.
So my buddy scanned the car, and it's showing a U1451 Code, which he says means the anti-theft is activated and disabled the engine...the PCM is bad and wouldnt let him communicate with it to disable the anti-theft (PATS)...says we will need a new PATS Module and a re-program of the computer...have to drop the column to replace it, and might have to buy/program another key b/c sometimes it takes two keys to re-program.
So if I had to guess, I'm likely out $300-$500 here....but I get the car back in running order so i have that going for me
