Ford EF Automatic starting problem.
No, it will not start in gear. If it is an automatic it must be in park or neutral to start. A manual can be started in gear as long as you have the clutch pushed in.
Thank you I realize that is so, regarding the Automatic cars also the Manual cars,
I was really asking Which of these three items is causing my car Ford EF sedan
NOT to start.
The Body Control Module commonly known as the BCM or Smart Lock Module
which is usually level (behind the dash paneling) with the drivers knee.
Or is it the gear cut off switch which is located on the side of the gear box,
This is designed to stop the automatic vehicle lurching forward or backwards
should you try to start it in gear, (gear cut off switch) its purpose of course.
Or could it be a faulty Ignition switch, which
will not turn the engine over when the key is fully engaged to the start position, (That is the ignition position)
Low gear.
Ford 5R55S Automatic 5 Speed Transmission 1st gear 3.22 to 1 2nd gear 2.29 to 1 3rd gear 1.55 to 1 4th gear 1.00 to 1 5th gear .71 to 1 (This is a late model Ford Mustang Transmission) * not to be confused with 5R55E, 5R55N, 5R55W they have different gear ratios
Yes
You cant, trust me, I have one, and you simply cannot start it in gear.
I have the same problem!
automatic or manual? automatic, use mercron manual, use gear lube
I had a 1991 Ford Mustang 5.0 L - LX - automatic , and it had 2.73 's
If a vehicle, manual or automatic, does not shift into a certain gear, there may be a problem with that gear. Gears get worn and need replacing in a vehicle's lifetime.
Is it a manual or automatic gearbox? Both the automatic and the manual require Dexron/Mercon.
It being in neutral or park.
Very few trucks at that time had automatic transmission. So you can start a manual transmission by pushing it off. Turn on the ignition switch. Place the gear into 2nd gear. Depress the clutch. Push the truck to about 5 to 10 mph and release the clutch and the engine will start.
forget to tell, the car as an automatic transmission
