Asked by Schmidty Dec 02, 2011 at 06:26 PM about the 1997 Ford Thunderbird LX RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I've tried everything (for months)related to the fuel intake & pressure, from MAF sensors to fuel pump, Key on & off repeatedly, etc.  However, I finally figured out that the fan is the key. Hot or cold motor doesn't matter. It simply will not start until that fan is done running.
