1997 Lincoln Town Car Limousine starting problem

Asked by Leehill6478 Apr 10, 2015 at 11:51 AM about the 1997 Lincoln Town Car Signature

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 1997 Lincoln Town Car Limousine. I was working fine but has been sat for
about a year.
I had booked it in for MOT in UK so i can use it. I jumped started the car using my
BMW and left the jump leads connected. the Limo ran for half hour, to operating
temperature so i checked the fluids and turned it off.
I later jump started it again and it started ok, but then suddenly cut out. It cranked but
would not start.
I assumed it needed fuel as it was low.
I put this in and it would not start. I cranked it several times with the BMW as a jump.
then all the power went off. Today i realised it was like a little cylinder thing that had
blew but if i bypass it i can get the ignition lights.

The car now lights up but does not start, if i spray damp start or easy start in the
engine it does fire. so it is not getting fuel.

But it was running fine before and just stopped ? please help !

i have replaced the Fuel relay and checked power to the fuel pump. I seem to have 1 live but when checking the inirtia switch there is no live to that. Some one said its the EEC relay? but i can not see it on the diagrams for a 1998 Lincoln Town Car. Any help please as this is getting upsetting as it was working fine.
