Hi,

Hopefully someone could help me out. First i have a 96 Mustang that i did an engine swap to a 95 5.0L. during this process i replaced the wiring harness from a 95 GT. now i don't hear the fuel pump when i turn the ignition switch. i thought it was a bad ground or the fuel pump relay. any ideas??? please be helpful cause i'm running out of time, my wife got into a car accident and this our only car left.

For EEC and fuel pump relay diagnostics, you might find something helpful here.

Good luck.

Ok first of all if its a crank but no start and you think its the fuel pump. Something easy to do. Go to the trunk and check power to the fuel pump. Be sure its getting power first. If it is then check the ground side of it. If you have power and ground then you might want to look into getting a new fuel pump. If it doesnt even crank the fuel pump is the least of your worries. Get back to us and let me know what you find out, I might be able to help you out a bit more.

check the inertia switch in the trunk. make sure its pressed down. u can also try tapping it with a wrench or something so it pops then reset it

It sounds like you need to get this car up and running. You would need to provide some useful info about what the exact issue is with the car. I have no idea if it cranks but won't catch or if it won't even crank.

Be specific and the smart folks in here can offer assistance to help get you up and running.

a little more detail on this starting demons. the car cranks but wont start. i dont hear the fuel pump priming. I hear the CCRM clicking when i turn the start switch to run. i haven't done any further troubleshooting. i know the first problem is the pump not priming and i'm very sure it has to be an electrical issue. i will get a chance to work on it this afternoon so any suggestions are welcome.

I'd check to see that CCRM Pins 12 and 24 show 12 volts with the key on.

Also check CCRM Pin 5 for 12 volts with the key on *and during the period the FP would be priming out*.

i think i figured it out. i have missing pins from the actual CCRM harness connector. do you know if the ccrm harness connector was made with missing pins from FORD on purpose???

You should just do what we are all suggesting. Check for the 12v first, lol.

If the driveshaft is the same length as factory then there should be no problem. It could also be your clutch not catching. Could also be the input shaft. Is the tranny from a 94-95 GT? or a fox.
