Intertia switch, bum fuel pump, bum fuel pump relay, no gas in the tank and similar things are good to check Posts: 2373 | Registered: Jun 2000  |  : BlackNGold CaliforniaFords.com Moderator Member # 655 posted                              Check your fuel pressure.... -------------------- -SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT- Posts: 5132 | From: Bay Area, CA | Registered: Dec 2001  |  : Hungry Hippo ¯ Member # 537 posted                              yeah, i forgot to mention i checked those. i hooked up a fuel pressure guage when cranking and its getting up to 50psi the tv's were sold -------------------- 05 S4 Avant(wagon) 09 C6 H/C/I Posts: 2959 | From: east bay | Registered: Nov 2001  |  : BlackNGold CaliforniaFords.com Moderator Member # 655 posted                              Ok, so you're obviously getting fuel... Did you take one of the pug wires off and see if you're getting "spark"?....It could be an ignition module... -------------------- -SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT- Posts: 5132 | From: Bay Area, CA | Registered: Dec 2001  |  : 50DADDY CAFords OG Member # 3076 posted                              Yeah,id have to say its the ignition module. -------------------- "Im not stupid,i just act that way so i dont make you dummies uncomfortable."
