Pinpoint Test Z: Intermittent: Introduction

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 2005 Mercury Sable, 2005 Mercury Mountaineer, 2005 Mercury Monterey, 2005 Mercury Montego, and 2005 Mercury Mariner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

WARNING: CROWN VICTORIA POLICE INTERCEPTOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM, REFER TO FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM FOR IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose and isolate intermittent concerns for the following:

All electronic engine control (EEC) subsystems.

This chart is used to determine which test to run for the suspect circuit. PIDs corresponding to each circuit are listed. Some circuits do not have an associated PID or the PID may not be available and will have to be measured with a digital multimeter (DMM). More specific information on the PID can be found in REFERENCE VALUES - GASOLINE MODELS . If the vehicle has a coil pack system with a no start condition, carry out the ignition test.
