If Th engine doesn't crank have the battery and battery cables checked for condition and corrosion. If the engine cranks and dos not start then have the systems control computer scanned for fault codes and have the fuel pressure checked.

fuel pump or fuel filter needs replaced. sounds like fuel filter needs replaced first. then I would have a pressure check run on fuel pump to see if its working as advertised.

About 30 to 36 PSI.

fuel pressure at the fuel rail test port should be at least 44 PSI, when u gun the engine it shuld go up very quickly, it should never drop, if it does the fuel filter is either plugged or the pump is defectuive

Hello jdakota1313: My name is Roger and I will help you. The fire order is 1-4-2-5-3-6. You will find #3 plug on the firewall side of the engine. rear plug just in front of the transmission bell housing. See the attached picture. Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the answer you received. hank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

The rear three plugs, left to right are 1,2,3
The front three plugs, left to right are 4,5,6

The coil pack looks like this

--4 pin--
-----------------
--1--- 2--- 3--
----------------
--5--- 6--- 4--
-----------------

The firing order is 1,4,2,5,3,6

If you didn't change one spark plug wire at a time then you may have your firing order off...

Please pick your motor...front or rear wheel drive...

you take off the door panel by using a panel clip tool to pop the clips for the panel to come off also check for any screws holding the panel to the door by the inside door handle the bottoms of the panel once you get it off unplug the window door switches to move the panel out of the way but first lower the window track so you can see it remove the weather seal plastic and then when you can get to the track and the glass you'll see that there should be yellow circle clips that pop together to hold the glass with rivets I'm assuming the glass is broken and this might have come off and is in the bottom of the door use these for the new glass after drilling out the old rivets snap them together one on each side of the new glass and then put bolts and nuts on to tighten or use a rivet gun to the track reconnect the switches for door window power and raise the glass

Check EGR valve and control lines.

How To Diagnose your Power Window Problem Is the Switch or motor bad

If the starter is spinning but it is not engaging the ring gear, you have a bad solenoid. This is to push the gear forward to turn over the engine. If the solenoid built into the starter or a separate part? Anyway...it isn't connecting. Semper Fi, Z

One of your positive battery cables goes to the starter motor. Dis connect negative battery cable. Safely raise and support the vehicle. You'll have to remove front splash guard from underneath. Ant time your working under a vehicle there are safety issues, safety is your responsibility.

If it was a anti-theft system problem ,you wouldn't get any clicking ,nothing ! The clicking you hear could be the starter relay . Problem could also be main battery cable going to the starter .. Voltage drop test the cable's ,ground .

have the fault codes read

first check for blown fuses and confirm that all are good next what are you trying to program? and this sequence has to be done quickly and the ignition left in the run position if its a key fob you must touch a button on it don't forget that if the sequence is not done properly the system has to time out before you try again if its a chip key theres a battery in some of them

I have copied the entire description for the code.Let me know if you need more info. You may need a shop to take a look at the system.P1405 Ford Description The purpose of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system on your engine is to limit oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions. This is done by redirecting small amounts of exhaust gas back through the upper intake to get mixed in with the air/fuel charge. The resultant diluted air/fuel mixture (i.e., less oxygen per cubic foot) burns cooler and combustion chamber temperatures are reduced accordingly, thereby lowering NOx emissions. The Ford DPFE/EGR system is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The system employs an EGR Valve, an Electronic Vacuum Regulator (EVR), and a Delta Pressure Feedback EGR sensor (DPFE). The DPFE Sensor measures EGR flow across an orifice located inside the special EGR Tube. The orifice is positioned between two hose ports coming off the tube which are connected to the DPFE sensor with special heat-resistant hoses. When the EGR Valve is open, a pressure differential is created across the orifice (intake manifold pressure vs. exhaust pressure). By design, this difference in pressure is measured by the DPFE sensor in terms of voltage. The DPFE voltage signal output to the PCM is directly proportional to the flow of exhaust gas entering the intake manifold. Read more: http://engine-codes.com/p1405_ford.html#ixzz2dUIwIiDd
