Hello all!
Brand new here! Thank you for having this site!
I have an '87 Grand Marquis, technically owned by the family trust, but its mine to maintain...
Also an '85 Crown Vic, which is the one I need help with... It's been sitting for a while and I'm trying to get it going, smog it (Yeah, California), and sell it. It has that lovely CFI system... Fuel has been changed out, fuel filter has been changed out.
Trying to start it, it'll start but dies immediately. The only way to keep it running is to keep feathering the gas. As near as I can tell, the only time it actually puts fuel through the injectors is when the gas pedal is moving down. Not holding it down, but actually moving down. Hence the feathering thing...
I suspect the Engine Control Module is bad, but don't want to drop $100 to test that.
Anybody seen something like this?
Thanks again!
Russ
