    Cps??

    How many miles and has the 60K tune-up been performed? As far as the CPS, i would say that is the problem. The DIS rarely goes bad. IF you have your doubts purchase one and switch it and see if it helps. The CPS is not hard to change but is envolved to get to it. When you do decide to...

    SHO wont start, pulled code 542

    CPS failure?? Same thing happened with my car. Went out in the morning and would not start. I would get a spark tester to see if you have spark. 60K sounds like the best fix to all your problems.

    wont start

    You have to remove all drive belts,tensioners, pull balancer, then remove 3 timing covers to change CPS. The plug to hook up code reader is under the hood pass side at firewall by above the power steering pump. Its in that area somewhere. Could be hanging down in also. Dustin

    wont start

    I would check your fuel pressure at the fuel rail. If you have ample pressure with the key on I would check codes. You say you have no spark and the tach jumps to 500. My car did the exact same thing and it was the CPS. I got up one morning and it would not start. I checked codes and nothing...

    95 SHO won't start,...need help

    I would say check the spark at a plug wire. I had the same problem happen to my 89-111K . I went out in the morning and it would not start either. No spark but plenty of fuel pressure and no blown fuses. Also i checked codes and i had none. I had a spare coil pack,DIS and cam sensor...

    Excessive fuel tank pressure/Build-up.

    I have a 89 SHO and lately I have noticed when i remove the gas cap for refueling there is alot of pressure in there. To much in my opinion. Usually it will just release pressure for a split second but not this. I open it real slow and i can feel fumes blowing and hissing out around the cap and...

    My 92 MTX wont start....

    My car acted the same way as far as starting for one or two fires then nothing. It was the CPS. When I replaced that along with the lower 60K the car now runs and starts 10 times better. I had no codes from computer and my tach was jumping up to 300-400 but car would not start! Only hiccup...

    97 Lincoln continental= 96 Brake upgrade

    I saw that a 95 Lincoln continental has the correct calipers, brackets and rotors. I found a 97 Lincoln continental at salvage yard and wondered if those parts would work with the upgrade on my 89 SHO. I would need 94-95 hubs off of any taurus correct. What do you do with the ABS stuff because...

    SHO wont start! No spark, No codes!! Help??

    I changed the CPS along with the rest of the Front 60K tuneup and car runs and starts like a champ. It is some times hard to figure out what sensor is bad on these cars I guess? Because I had no codes and I had a tach that moved when I tried to start the car but the CPS was still the problem...

    SHO wont start! No spark, No codes!! Help??

    When I first got the car the owner said he parked it because it would periodically shut down on him. He said if he waited a 1/2 hour it would start back up. When I got the car home from buying it i checked the codes and got nothing like crank or cam sensor so I thought maybe DIS so i just...
