Have I got two faults

Hi all, we’ll yesterday I decided to do what I should have done at the start and remove the ccrm to test on the bench. This reveals an issue, the circuit that powers on the pcm has a problem, the pilot through the relay showed open circuit. So I thought in for a penny etc and drilled out the rivets, opened it up and had a look, tested again and no circuit across the pilot. I carefully removed the relay and fitted a replacement, tested and was ok, I boxed up the ccrm and refitted to the car. Refitted the inner arch shield and put the wheel on, I’ve removed to temp fly lead and all the wiring is back as it should be, now the fuel pump primes, power is through to fuses f2.2 and f2.8 when key on.
The theft light acts normal put still no start, it’s as though the pcm isn’t speaking to anything even the OBD2 scanner gets no clear messages. What do I need to do to get the pcm to join in,
I haven’t tried the spare key yet, I’ll do that soon, just in case.

Spare key tried, same result no start

Crank with no start check list complete, checks out ok, it seems now my fuel pump is not supplying anything, when I first put power through to the ccrm via a fly lead I’m certain the fuel pump ran, the engine started etc, now the fuel pump doesn’t run, I can hear the ccrm relays buzz for a few seconds and then time out, I’ve listened in the trunk an it’s all quiet in there.
On a plus side, a squirt of easy start into the throttle body has the engine fire, one step forward, two steps back.
I’ve checked all the bjb fuses and all are good, I suppose next I’ll be testing at the fuel tank area.

Of course I could be wrong about the fuel pump running it may have just been the buzz from the relay but the engine started.

Oops, I’ve found the fuel pump fault, I’d left a plug disconnected in the passenger foot well when I’d been checking the pcm, plugged back in fuel pump ok, battery hasn’t enough power to try to start engine new one ordered.

Hello again, could you help by advising on spark plugs for the 3.8 as motocraft plugs are virtually unobtainable, champion ,ac delco and Bosch are available, currently NGK bpr5efs are fitted but I’m not happy with them.
Bill

She lives!!!
With everything put back as it should be, the ccrm with a new relay fitted for the pcm supply, and the fly lead removed, also a new battery fitted but I finally tipped the old one over the edge with excessive starting attempts so not really part of the problem, the engine fired up first time.
I’d like to express my thanks to Mr wmburns
Without who’s help I’d still be poking about looking for the fault, thank you sir,
