Brand new here so hello,
I researched for an hour before i posted this.I found a guy back in 2006 named serioussn95 who had the same problem.94 3.8 5 speed,38 lbs of fuel pressure,spark tester shows its firing,new plugs,new wires,new crank sensor,Its one of those family freebie jobs and the shop she had it at replaced all this and it still doesnt run.I replaced the plugs again myself and fixed the firing order on the wires.I almost forgot to say the engine back fires through the intake.Its almost like it tries to start running the same speed as the starter motor but when you release the key from start to run it dies.Id appreciate any suggestions.thanks

Thanks 2002blgt,
How does the pats system control the no start?Does it interrupt the spark or fuel?I worked for a dealer untill 1995 intill I went to the Louisville assemblt plant.I build fords now.My memory is pretty rusty after being away for 12 years.I was working on the assumption that pats came after 1994.thaks,ill check that out.

I have the same problem with my 95 V6 right now. I have tracked down the problem to the injectors not firing. The injectors are controlled by the cam position sensor. I have replaced it but it still just cranks. This leads me to beleive there is a bad ground some where. Anyone know where to start looking?
