I have the dreaded "Crank No Start", no CEL, OBDII Scan finds ZERO MIL issues, and I've replaced COP's, Spark Plugs, Valve Gaskets, Fuel Pressure Sensor, Degas Bottle (aluminum), and installed a K&N Typhoon Cold Air intake system that is custom fit for the 2005 Lincoln LS 3.9L V8. New Throttle Body, MAP sensor, and Fuel Filter as well. Car was running fine after changing valve gaskets on passenger side until I attempted to bleed the new aluminum degas bottle. I was in garage and pushing the rpm's to 3000 to get the coolant to flow out of bleeder valve (per the advice of a member with aluminum degas bottle whom had the same issue of not getting it to bleed after installation). My OBDII Scanner showed "CL-Fault" and "OL-Drive" a couple of times (or vice versa, CL-Drive or OL-Fault, I cannot recall which) as I revved the engine. Suddenly the engine began to shake roughly, until it slowly sputtered and died. Now the car will not start. It cranks fine (I changed the COP's and Spark Plugs((NGK Laser Iridium Spark Plugs)) after the engine shut down on me) and all lights show on dash as they should when the PCM or ECU finds no issues. I am trying to find out where to connect my Fuel Pressure Gauge and for some reason my 2005 LS does not have a Schrader Valve. I have looked all over the internet and cannot find good info for my model LS. I have tested fuel pump relay, inertia switch, MAF sensor, CAM sensors have good wiring, and Fuel pump hums when I turn Key to "ON" position. I am really needing some help here. If someone can please give me some advice or insight I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm a DIY'er and I don't have the money to send to a shop (not that I trust any of the shops or dealerships around here even if i did have the cash). I'm so close to having this thing running like a dream and it was until I changed valve gaskets on passenger side and tried to bleed degas bottle. Please, HELP!!! Thank you
