I have a 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis that I am working on and I cannot get it to start. The car ran fine until one day when I came out and I did not hear the fuel pump pumping. The things I have tried so far are:
-new fuel pump
-pulled all fuses and maxi fuses
-new fuel pump relay
-checked for Voltage at Throttle Position Sensor (none)
-traced as many wires as I can think of for voltage and resistance
- connected a brand new Scan Tool only to see it's not detecting being connected to car (plugged the scan tool into another car and it worked fine)
-swapped PCM with a used one (still no fuel or communication to scan tool)
-tried starting fluid in intake
- pulled one spark plug wire from plug and connected spark tester and got no spark
- checked #16 pin in data link connector for voltage and #5 for ground (seems okay)
- I am pretty sure I heard the PCM relay clicking when I turned the key to the ON position.
I am about out of ideas. Anyone have any suggestions?
