Thanks driller and Lownslowlsc... I do have a gen 1, so maybe the PATS isn't stopping the fuel, amazing coincidence though. The anti-theft light is blinking while I'm cranking. The inertia switch is depressed, just checked.

Sapperfire, dnsherrill thanks again, inertia switch is the red button in the trunk? I'll check it out now. But yes slowmkviii, the fuel is being stopped by the "absence of pats". And now the anti-theft light is definitely blinking when I'm trying to start, and I can't get it off. I disconnected...

I did not notice, to be honest...but it happened again tonight! This is crazy, I'm going to start over again tomorrow morning. At least I know it will start, had her running for a good hour. I let her cool off, and was going to check my fluids, coolant and transmission especially, and the car is...

Oh, not for nothing, I completely agree with dnsherrill on doing things myself, this was the only time I used someone to "save time" and look what happened. That was my fault! Oh well, I hope if anything we ALL learned a step that might save some serious time! :) Thanks again guys!

Okay, here's the update... Went this morning, got a new battery, not the problem. Got under the car, found the Crank Position Sensor. unplugged, cleaned, plugged back in, not the problem. Checked the fuel pressure valve after checking this post and seeing Sapperfires post, (which I did before...

Battery is now dead from trying to start, and won't charge...I left it overnight on the charger. So, tomorrow I'm getting a new battery and going from there. Check Crank Position Sensor is something I would have never have thought of Sapperfire! How will I know if it is bad? Or am I just...

Hey Guys. I'm stumped once again.... I replaced the belt on the lincoln, only to discover the tensioner pulley was shot. Replaced that, and shortly after I discovered there was a crack in the radiator, and the water pump was dumping coolant. Two days ago, I had a mechanic replace the...

oh and thanks for the links nolimit95!

Thanks for the quick replies guys. Seems expensive, but oh well!! I'll let you know what happens.

Hey guys, i've got yet another tough question. the air ride in my 96 mark viii is malfunctioning intermittently. Only after not being driven for a day or so. And recently the car will sink overnight, and after I start, the front will rise, and not the back. After I turn off the car and restart...

OK, I realize this could be a thousand things, but you guys were spot on helping with the a/c problem i posted a few days ago, so just wanted to see if there was a common problem you all knew about. Here's the deal, this has been happening for the last 3 weeks. Go to start the car and it just...

Awesome! wiggled the wires while the a/c was running, bam!!! A/C BACK ON!! THANKS A MILLION GUYS!!!!

NoLimit95 and Rick, yes. Both fuses. First thing I did. Thing thing that is so confusing to me is that it was intermittently working before it stopped, and ultimately, hasn't worked since. Thanks for the quick replies!

I'm stuck here, I have a 1996 Mark viii, and yesterday my a/c stopped, started for about 4 minutes, then went off again, for good. Now no air hot or cold will blow out of vents or floor. I did a scan for codes on the EATC. Nothing. Checked fuses, all good. Now I just don't know where to go from...
