Is slowly decaying power at Fuel pump Positive lead normal after the key is turned from Run to off? Debugging a strong crank but almost no start condition on 2002 'bird. Cranks well and will start for 30 seconds about once every day. Main codes noted were P1237 - Fuel pump primary circuit malfunctio...

Am trying to trace a possible short. Bought the full Ford Manual on CD. I might have missed it but it appears that the two fuel pumps and wiring harness are not shown. All I can find is one circuit from the REM to a single fuel pump with sender. Can't find the wiring harness listed in the manual eit...

After replacing the blown spare, cleaning up the shards from the tire belts and installing a new battery, the 2002 Bird runs at most for 30 seconds. No measurable fuel pressure. Codes suggest possible problem with shorts, the Fuel Pump Driver module (FPDM), or of course the fuel pump. Bought the 200...

2002 T'bird won't start after battery replacement and extended period of idleness. Cranks, fires occasionally, but won't run longer than a minute or so.

This 'bird starts to run rough from the go but doesn't light the warning light. Never has. My old mechanic was pretty good and he could find the bad coil on the scope. Once it was replaced, everything ran well until the next failure. Still cost a fair penny but cheaper than the dealer. Unfortunately...

We have a 2002 T-Bird which was not covered by the extended warranty. Owned it since 2009, driven it about 6,000 miles. Only time it gets wet is when I wash it. We end up replacing coils about every year. Haven't pulled the records but I think it is often the same coils. Am trying to determine (0) W...

where can I get a copy of this article? Our 2002 bird is yet again having coil issues despite never being driven in the rain nor exposed to the rain.
