    PCM repair recomendation please

    I had a similar problem with my 07 GT where when the car was up to full temperature and then shutoff, it would not turn over due to a PATS issue. The car essentially behaved like it had the wrong key being used to start it - turnkey and nothing. I had the dealership repro the issue and verify...

    Won't start and anti-theft light flashing

    Thought I would post an update since replacing my ECU and bring this thread to an end point - problem is FIXED! Pretty simple process to remove and replace the ECU - just a couple of bolts and 3 connectors. I ordered a new set of key blanks with the ECU and had them cut at a local locksmith...

    Won't start and anti-theft light flashing

    Thought I would post an update for anyone else who experiences a similar problem. I replaced the BAMA 93 Race tune with another BAMA tune that I ran without issue for ~9 years, 89 octane performance tune. I also flushed and replaced coolant. Drove the car yesterday maybe 25 miles, sunny 70...

    Won't start and anti-theft light flashing

    Thanks Juice. I can return to stock, but think I will just go back to running the performance 89 tune. I ran that tune for several years prior without any issues, so will see if that makes a difference. Yes, I should have thought about it more before posting, but you are right that indicates...

    Won't start and anti-theft light flashing

    I spent some time inspecting things yesterday and have a few thoughts for feedback: I did a visual inspection of all wiring and connectors in the engine bay. My car is a Cervini build C300 which includes the PIAA lights in the front end. When they installed them, they covered the wire running...

    Won't start and anti-theft light flashing

    Yes, clear as mud ;-) My understanding with the potential grounding issue is that when this occurs it essentially is breaking the ability for the sensor ring to communicate with the PCM, creating a no start condition. All other electrical aspects of the car function (radio, windows, locks...

    Won't start and anti-theft light flashing

    Thanks Juice. I came across a video on YouTube of a Ford mechanic who troubleshot the same symptom on a Ford Focus to a bad ground. I am going to check into this as a target, but the problem only occurs when temps are hot. Wondering if when the temps rise, the a poorly grounded circuit...

    Won't start and anti-theft light flashing

    Giving this a bump in hopes someone has other suggestions before I pull the trigger and replace the ECU.

    Won't start and anti-theft light flashing

    I think the anti-theft is ECU, but will do some research on the SJB. I also just came across this video done by a Ford mechanic. Granted this is on a newer Focus, the symptoms are the same. I am going to cleanup the ground connection as he suggests and see what happens before spending the $$...

    Won't start and anti-theft light flashing

    I have a 2007 GT and have experienced the following problem last summer/early fall when the weather was still hot. I drive the car home from work, about a 50 minute drive and the outdoor temps were pretty hot, about 91 degrees. I get home, shut the car off and go in the house. Come out 5 minutes...

    Factory alarm reset

    My 2007 starting having similar issue last summer, but mine was related to heat. Would start and run fine but after driving home from work (40 miles), if I shut it off, it would not start again until cooled down. After investigating all I could, I brought to Ford and they were able to repro...
