Fuel pump does not energize when ignition is turned on for a 2000 lincoln continental.Therefore no fuel is supplied to system and engine can not start. Reset button and all fuses have been checked.

Did you check the electrical circuit ? Fuel pump relay , inertia fuel cut off switch ? Find a wiring diagram at http://bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Ford Electronic Returnless Fuel System Diagnosis Part 1 fuel pump driver module , controlled by the engine computer .

Hey James , It's in the under hood fuse box , F/PMP relay an there is a fuse F/PMP 15 amp. Underhood Accessory Wiring Junction Block
Right side of the engine compartment, mounted to the strut tower

The PCM controls the fuel pump relay by supplying switched ignition voltage to the fuel pump relay coil. When the ignition switch is first turned On, the PCM energizes the fuel pump relay. The relay contacts close applying power to the fuel pump. The fuel pump relay will remain On as long as the engine is running or cranking and the PCM is receiving reference pulses. If no reference pulses are present, the PCM de-energizes the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds. With the engine stopped, the fuel pump can be turned On with a scan tool.
If the PCM detects a problem on the relay control circuit, DTC P0230 will set. Use this table if DTC P0230 is not set and a problem exists with the fuel pump!

It is impossible to answer your question without knowing the YEAR and ENGINE of your Lincoln Continental.
Also, whatever possessed you to REMOVE your fuel tank?? How are you getting fuel to the engine?

You need to have the electronic engine control system computer scanned for fault codes first.

I think it might be a fuel delivery problem.I would check the fuel pressure and make sure its within the specs for that engine.Its sounds like it could be a weak fuel pump.When ever the engine does'nt get enough fuel to mix with the air then it causes a lean condition which will make it misfire.If it was an ignition problem it would misfire whether it was cold or hot.

It is in the fuel tank.

i have a 2000 continental that will not start at times. The engine turns over but will not start . If the car sit for awhile it will start can this be a fuel pump problem?

Im not quitre sure but did you bleed the system...on the fuel rail on the intake there is a zert fitting like a tire valve try bleeding the system could be trapped air

Check to see if its getting spark by slightly removing a plug wire.  And see if you can see fuel pumping inside the carb as you pump the linkage.  Also try poringing a little fuel inside the carb with the air filter removed.  If it starts it's the fuel system if it doesn't it's the ignition system. 

hi sounds more like a faulty ignition switch as if you turn it off the pump wouldn,t keep working unless somthings shorting out and if the ignition locking up this is a good place to start yates210456
