    After Sitting 2 Months Wont Start

    In response to wmburns post: For the 99+ Model year, once power is confirmed at the IFS switch and the fuel pump is not heard running, focus next on confirming the fuel pump itself. From the fuel pump driver module there are two wires that go direct to the fuel pump. The colors are RD/BK and...

    From now on I will lol but RD/BK to me sounded to me like a tricky color for one wire. I related Red as power and BLK as negative but i've only worked with simple audio wiring and battery terminals. The two together through me off. Thanks for educational info as I'll now forever relate RD/BK as...

    Does it matter which of the 2 wires I inject the 12v too or are you saying to inject both wires with 12v. Thanks again.

    Crank with no start check list. Check all fuses. Check the trunk mounted IFS cut off switch. All fuses good. IFS switch has not been triggered to pop up and has 12 volts at the harness. Also 12 volts at the harness to the FPDM Check the battery and battery terminals. Are they clean and tight...

    After Sitting 2 Months Wont Start

    Thanks for the insight wmburns. I actually disconnected the battery on a break from work about an hour ago and was going to reconnect it on my lunch break and try the fob lock unlock trick that I noticed is on your list. I also actually went to try the passenger door unlock this weekend and...

    After Sitting 2 Months Wont Start

    2000 v-6 was running great when I parked it. After 2 months of sitting it just cranks but won't start. I noticed the fuel was pretty low so I added fuel and a bit of seafoam then changed the fuel filter in case water got into it and clogged the filter. Still nothing. Pulled the cyl 1 plug and...

    Replaced the bad wire, fired it up and all was good again. After rejoicing I replaced the remaining wires.

    Misfire And Raw Fuel Smell

    Visually the wire looks excellent. No cracks at all in the wire cover and the rubber ends still seem very nice and durable. Obviously in this case looks can be deceiving. Picked up the new set today and will install tonight. Will report the outcome.

    Misfire And Raw Fuel Smell

    Had a chance to swap plug wires last night with one close by and the miss moved with it. Sounds like I have found the culprit. Picking up a new set of motorcraft wires today. My lesson learned so far, just because a wire checks out with an ohm reading doesn't mean anything... Ill report if the...

    Misfire And Raw Fuel Smell

    @ trinity_gt - found a compression tester to borrow but wont get until tomorrow. Please GOD let the compression be good! @ Rusty67 - good idea which leads me to think I should have swapped the wire with another close in size and see the results and if there's any change. Maybe the wire...

    Misfire And Raw Fuel Smell

    96 Cobra. Had a slight miss so decided I would change the plugs on the weekend as it wasn't anything that appeared major and was only noticeable upon quick acceleration. Before the weekend arrived the slight miss became more evident by a very noticeable shake at idle and an unburnt fuel smell in...

    HO Fibertrends 2.5 vs 3.5 cobra r hood for 94-98

    From the day I ordered to the day received was 6 days. Great quality work. Had to make the holes on the factory hinge a bit wider for adjustment and raise the latch to close the hood. Overall very satisfied with my new hood.

    HO Fibertrends 2.5 vs 3.5 cobra r hood for 94-98

    After days of debate I went with the HO Fibertrends 2.5. Its 2.5 above the stock cowl which puts it at a total of 3.5. Without having the hoods near by to get a better close up look it was a tough decision. Pics to follow soon. Thanks for the pics Nightfire.
