Ignition switch started acting up first. Had to replace key and tumbler part. Car wouldn't start anymore. I took door lock cylinder to locksmith to have key made, replaced locked and unlocked door, but still wouldn't turn over. Then I replaced electrical part of ignition--still will not turn over. Replaced battery and starter, still will not turn over. Ran a wire from ignition switch to starter it now turns over but won't start, disconnect the wire won't turn over anymore. Even replaced fuel pump and filter, you can hear the pump come on when switch is turned on but start position no turn over. Tie in the wire it turns over but won't fire up. Put gas in throttle body with wire attached it starts and run until that gas burn out. Something keeping starter circuit and injection circuits from working. WHAT!!!!
IT'S REALLY SCARY BECAUSE IT WILL DIE OUT AT ANY GIVEN TIME ... FORD SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR FREE AND ON ALL NEW MAKES AND MODELS MAKE SURE IT WONT HAPPEN, OR DONT EVEN PUT IT IN YOUR VEHICLES THATS WHAT CAR ALARMS ARE FOR...
