Have you checked the inertia switch to determine if power is getting to and through it to the fuel pump? If so, have you checked the fuel rail for correct fuel pressure? When running on starter fluid is the tachometer reporting the engine speed? Have you checked for diagnostic codes?

When you say you have "no pedal" does the throttle plate physically move when you depress the accelerator pedal? Are you really just trying to say that opening the throttle does not seem to effect how the engine runs, even on starter fluid?

I put a new ecm in it and cabt recieve any codes. I have good fuel pressure at the rail. Would it hurt to run a key on wire tomy ecm for the 2 pins that need key on power. I dont think mine are powering up when i have my key on, i do have constant on the one that needs it. Also should i ground the ecm on the three that require a ground?

is the code on your ECM an X2J, is it a known working unit? And the CCRM is an D code?

If you have the correct computer why can it not receive codes? Is there a wiring issue?

The CCRM must match the original to function properly. There are capital Letters to designate the correct one. For instance the auto SHO's are not the same relay module (CCRM) as the manual car. In addition other Taurus and Ford vehicles have different relay modules (Constant Control Relay Module). All ccrm's have relays but they have to match up properly. Unless you are saying it has been rewired for individual relays.

There may to be a communication issue in the thread. Concepts and definitions have to line up so we are not talking past each other. Chilton's does not have what is needed for the SHO as I remember. It's been a long time but I always found factory shop repair manuals on ebay for cheap that had everything I needed. Don't forget that the regular Taurus also came with a 3.0L Vulcan engine that is not the SHO engine.

It was functioning and running correctly when you bought it?

Did you replace the ECM in an attempt to solve the no-start issue? And if so, do you still have the original ECM that you can put back in the car and see if you are able to retrieve codes from it? Are you trying to retrieve codes with the light flash method or using a scan tool?

Have you checked for power at the ECM? If you confirm that you do not have power to them, you should try to track down why they don't have power rather than forcing power to them and possibly causing damage. Same for the ground wires.

The other issue that I think I remember is that this car overheated. So there could be failed sensor, fuel pump, wiring, head gasket etc. Did you check for coolant in the oil or oil in the coolant?

here is a thread showing the differences between a J code, M code and D code CCRM

this thread (page 1) has pictures of an M code and D code CCRM, does it look like either one of these

It got hot but didnt even empty the radiator, just soaked everything down and it hit 0° that night and froze everthing solid. Has new fuel pump and no oil or water cross contamination and has even compression on all cylinders

Its been rewired with relays
So you've done away with the CCRM and just have a bank of discrete relays now? Did that work at one point, or was this an attempt to solve the no start condition? I've always wondered if it is possible to just basically make your own CCRM. The one I had apart years ago had quite a bit of supporting circuitry in addition to the relays. That particular one had a blown transistor which of course had a "house" part number so it wasn't easy to cross reference.
