Well, I have a 2006 Lincoln LS V8. The car used to start with no problems. About a month or so ago I brought it to a shop to have some work done. They finished the work and said the car "wouldn't start". The battery did die while they did work to it so I didn't think to much of it. Towed it home, Charged the battery still nothing. The PATS light kept blinking very fast and all it did was turn over but not fire up.( I took the back seat off to listen for the pump to kick on and it didn't) After some research on the internet everything pointed to the key needing to be reprogrammed. So I tow the car to get the keys reprogrammed and still....nothing. Same turning over but no firing up. So now I am checking every single fuse and I find a set of keys in the quarter panel hidden. (Owner prior to me) I tried those and as soon as I turned to "on" position the pump kicked on and she started. Now later that day she would get back to her old self. Start and then not start. Fuel pump would kick on and then not kick on. So today, (3 days later) nothing at all. Just turning over that's all. Fuel Pump does not kick on, I've tried both sets of keys and nothing. The light is blinking fast at "on" position, and then at times doesn't blink, but the pump is not firing up. I have tried a new battery and almost everything I could think of. Sorry for the long story that may not make sense to some, but I am willing to try anything at this point.
Thanks Ahead of time!!
