Hi gang;
I need some advice. I have a 1989 Taurus GL. 3.8 V6, Auto trans, 160K miles that won't start/run. It does fire/start for momentarily after sitting overnight, but doesn't continue to run. If trying to start sooner, it just cranks and nothing happens.
Symptoms:
40 PSI by gauge at fuel rail Ticking sound from reachable injectors (2) good spark at plug good cranking speed no abnormal sounds haven't noticed loose wiring connections or split/disconnected vac hosesFriend hooked up OBDII tester: KOEO codes(in order)
22-BP or MAP out of self test range 24-ACT sensor out of self test range System passedFriend says codes are likely because engine isn't at operating temp. True? Other suggestions for cleaning/replacement/testing?
