my 99 gt just stoped running while I was driving.It quit like I turned off the ignition.no poping or sputtering just quit.I checked all the mechanical things like fuel pressure 38 to 40 psi.timing chains,cam gears. timing marks,changed injectors.checked spark.EVERYTHING. this car wouldnt fire off at all just turning over dead.so I sprayed some cab cleaner in it to see if it would fire off that way and it did.a guy thats a mechanic for lincoln merc, came by and checked it out he found the crank sensor was bad (a chunk of the plastic covering had fell off exposing the wire coil) OH and I checked the metal ring on the crank also. after replacing that sensor the car would fire off but it took a while to do so and then it would only run for about 5 seconds.Kinda like an older motor does when its 180 degrees out. but I know this isnt the case here. after all this I hauled it to a shop wher he chcked every wire and sensor out. he found a bad cam sensor and replaced it.Didnt improve anything just still running for a few seconds. he said it has to be the computer or a broken wire in the harness(ground wire?) he said computers can test OK but still be acting up? anyone evrer heard of this problem with a computer testing OK but still be bad? Im assuming when the two sensors shorted out it must have back fed through the computer and screwed up somthing?? THANKS for any info.

antitheft lite was flashing while the car was trying to start.That was before I replaced the crank sensor. The light doesnt flash anymore.I thought the antitheft was the problem at first but it checks out OK now.
