I have a 1997 F-150 4.2ltr. Last week it just stopped running, I changed the coil and it ran for about a week and just died. I changed the coil again and it did not help, also changed the fuel relay which did not help. A mechanic hooked up to the computer and it's not reading anything, the hand held computer says link error. Any suggestions on whats wrong.
Thanks

A blown fuse?

 

Check the cigarette lighter fuse....for the hand held link error....

 

I know the newer models share the same circuit, but I did not know if the 97 would.

 

97-03 share the same circuit just like the 04-08 do....

 

Thanks, Will do
