WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Ford RV Cutaway, 1995 Ford Econoline, 1995 Ford Cutaway, and 1995 Ford Club Wagon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Check and follow correct starting procedure. Correct starting procedure is located on driver's side sun visor. If vehicle does not start using correct starting procedure, go to next step. If vehicle starts, return vehicle to customer.
  2. Loosen one injector nozzle line nut one-half to one turn. Crank engine and observe injector line. If fuel is discharged from loosened injector line, go to ENGINE PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSIS  . If fuel is not discharged from loosened injector line, tighten injector line nut and go to next step.
    NOTE: Fuel Shutoff (FS) solenoid is now called Energize-To-Run (ETR) solenoid.
  3. Crank engine and check voltage at Energize-To-Run (ETR) solenoid. ETR solenoid terminal is located at front of injection pump. Voltage must be at least 9 volts. Check ETR solenoid terminal for dirt, corrosion, or loose or broken electrical connection. Repair or replace as necessary. If solenoid terminal and electrical connection are okay and at least 9 volts are present while cranking, go to ENGINE PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSIS  . If at least 9 volts are not present, check Red/Light Green wire from ETR solenoid to ignition switch. Repair wire as necessary, and repeat this test. See Figure .
