WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2001 Mercury Sable, 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis, 2001 Mercury Cougar, 2001 Lincoln Town Car, and 2001 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Ensure engine mechanical condition is okay. Ensure no vacuum leaks exist and ignition system is operating properly. Start engine and allow to idle. If engine will not start, crank engine for 10 seconds. Using a stethoscope, listen for clicking sound at each injector. If clicking sound is heard, fuel injector is operating. If clicking sound is not heard, see TEST HD in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - EEC-V - CNG & GASOLINE article.
