I don't know why my 5 isnt staying on. It will start with starter spray then cuts off, im also getting little to no fuel pressure at the rail.. I personally think It has something to do with wiring, but that isnt my strong point. I checked voltage everywhere and it seems fine.. Might be easy for a pro to look at it tho so if theres any mechanics around concord who could lend a hand. I'd appreciate the help, and I have cash, thanks <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>4IDFOX</b> <br /><small>Member # 9921</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2016,9,4,21,23,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Ignition switch.
