large_x7 Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Could be a blown head gasket? Although I think that was more of a problem with the 3.8L, mine had a leaky head gasket when I sold it and it was a 3.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboRust Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 more importantly is it a 3.0 OHV or DOHC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsm614 Posted February 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Did the EEC test, and came up with this from the CEL pulses. 121 - Throttle Position (TP) sensor out of range 122 - Throttle position low (possibly grounded or open circuit) 556 - Fuel pump relay primary circuit fault Car is a 1995 Taurus 3.0 OHV V6 i also dont have a book on this car yet, i just got it. Also a Tune up was done to it, thinking that it would be the fix, new wires and plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsm614 Posted February 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 you think a bad TPS would cause it not to run? are there any good ford guys on here that can help me look this thing over in my garage? if the fuel wasnt working i could understand but i cant pin point the relay.

dsm614 Posted February 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Found the Relay needed to replace, getting no fuel pressure thru the lines so im going to assume the fuel pump relay isnt letting the pump work correctly. if its the fuel pump, im most likey going to have to put a DSM one in it smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
still2hi Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Maybe you could try wiring up the fuel pump and skip the relay to see it thats the problem.. Did you ever get that rear-wheel drive project done? Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
