No Start/Normal Crank - Gasoline Mode
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Ford Pickup and 2002 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Extended cranking, due to a no-start condition, can load exhaust system with raw fuel, which may ruin catalytic converter after engine is started.
- Check fuel system. See TEST AA: NO START - GASOLINE MODE under SYSTEM TESTS in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - EEC-V - BI-FUEL article.
- If engine is still a no-start after completing previous test, see TEST KE: IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE under SYSTEM TESTS in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - EEC-V - GASOLINE & NGV article.
- Check exhaust system for restriction. See TEST HF: CATALYST EFFICIENCY MONITOR & EXHAUST SYSTEMS under SYSTEM TESTS in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - EEC-V - GASOLINE & NGV article.
- Check engine mechanical condition. Check compression, camshaft, valve train components, etc. and repair as necessary. See appropriate article in ENGINES. If no problem is found, check for intermittent faults. See TEST Z: INTERMITTENT under SYSTEM TESTS in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - EEC-V - GASOLINE & NGV article.
