Hey guys ive had this issue with my 1981 Lincoln Continental Mk VI (ECCIII, 5.0 CFI) i cant seem to wrap my head around. She will crank like no ones business, but no start. A while ago (2 months or so) i could fire her up after 4-6 tries or 1-3 with starting fluid, then she would run no problem. Shortly after, she developed a nasty habit of stalling as soon as i load the electrical system (headlights will often do it, radio, etc). She would not like to start after these stalls. Now recently, (2 weeks) she has refused to start no matter how many times i crank her, gas it, or feed her starting fluid. With starting fluid she will kick like about to start but then stall like theres no fuel. Maybe 1 in every 20 attempts would lead to a successful start.
So heres where im at; i replaced the Ignition Control Module, Ignition Coil, battery and cables, alternator, spark plugs, wires, and dist cap. I checked the fuel pump (pressure at a solid 39-40), checked for spark (got plenty), and the engine runs great once its running. Im thinking its the Crank POsition Sensor, that would explain the no/very rare start, right?
Im kind of at a lose, not sure where to go after this if it isnt the CPS.
