the guy said it came out of an 2002 lightning

 

Then it plugs into your AC accumulator.

 

Yea, that's right,- Brown cover = Accumulator. That's back by the firewall / passenger side.

 

ok cool and do u have any thoughts about what all them random wires that are spliced go to....the guy said it was for an electric start if that makes sense

 

Yea, that might be, but usually most remote start wiring is done under the dash. Sounds and looks like he rigged it. I guess from here, I would check the starting circuit. There's some communication that takes place before the PCM gives the okay to start.

Here's something different on the lightning harness -



Have you noticed any gauge sweeping or "PAT's" light flashing. She won't fire with the theft light flashing.

 

Ignition System

The ignition system consists of the:

crankshaft position sensor (CKP sensor) (6C315)
camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) (6B288)
spark plug
The ignition system is:

a coil on plug (COP) ignition system controlled by an electronic engine control (EEC) integrated into the powertrain control module.
set for base timing at 10 degrees before top dead center (BTDC) and is not adjustable.

 

i got a tune to turn off the pats and its loaded on the truck....do you think any of these wires could prevent my truck from firing up

 

I would have to know what all those other wires in your pics are tied to. You don't say. Those aren't Ford wires so I have no way of tracing. You have to follow to splice, then post color and stripe.

 

ok i will go do that right now

 

the red wire connects to the red and yellow stripe on the harness...the green goes to nothing it is cut off and the blue runs to the drivers side and was connected to the rear harness...is there any chance a relay could be bad or something just a thought

 

Yea, that red yellow is a hot wire = hot all the time most likely, that's not holding things up as far as "Crank no start" . The others, yea- without knowing/seeing the splice , factory color, your guess is good as mine.

Did you compare harnesses to see if anything is different ?

Is she getting spark? If so, she should fire with a little gas. Have you tried to knock it down to just a fuel problem?

Also, you can't continually crank the engine for more than 4 seconds at a time. The PCM shuts the injectors down when you hit 5 seconds. Just keep that in mind and I don't know how long the reset is on that once you do.

 

yes i am getting spark and the pump works i hear it turn on every time i turn the key....i did use the 5.4L harness that runs to the rear of the truck and spliced that and connected the wires there are a few wires left over....one is red on the harness that runs to the back and i have to check tomorrow to see what ones arent connected...Mike told me to do this

 

is there anything i could put in the fuel to give it some pep or something or is all that stuff bad for the motor i have always herd mixed thoughts

 

Think the gas is bad?
How long did your truck sit during the swap.

I would think it would still run, just like crap.

 

it sat for 7 months
