Not usually....No. Take it in to AutoZone and have them check the codes for you.
The most likely cause would be the stator assembly. By disconnecting the cannon plug for the key switch harness, at the engine, you can isolate the problem to the engine, or the ignition switch / harness assemblies. With the harness disconnected, spin the engine over with a starter button, connected to the solenoid. If the engine now has fire, the problem is in the ignition kill circuit, (ignition switch, emergency kill switch, or harness assembly). If a no fire condition still exists, the problem is in the ignition system, on the engine itself. The stator, and related ignition components can be tested with a volt / ohm meter.
Most likely is a bad ignition switch.
Ignition is required for an engine to work. Failure of ignition would prevent the engine working.
check the fuse for ingnition
Dead battery, bad starter, or defective ignition switch.
I don't have a diagram, but there would be one steel wire from the switch to the hot side of the coil.
I would expect that the power for the fuel pump would be supplied through the ignition switch so I would start there, that is check the ignition switch.
i would change the electrical part of your ignition switch- i would change the electrical part of your ignition switch-
It's really easy the switch is in the steering colume.
I replaced the headlight switch on the dash and made sure battery terminals were clean and tight
Bad ignition switch. This is one of the problems experienced by many classic Mustang owners. The problem also has occured in reverse, ignition switch is on and the engine just simply dies. I usually keep a spare ignition switch (a used one which I know works to trobleshoot should the problem arise) and a new one to quickly replace the bad one since they are fairly inexpensive.
Some vehicles electrical system is designed for the fan to run-on after the ignition has been switched off. If the fan switches on when you switch the ignition on from cold, this would indicate a faulty thermostatic switch, these are often fitted to the radiator and it will have two wires attached. To eliminate this as a problem, switch the ignition on when the engine is cold, if the fan starts carefully disconnect one of the wires (beware of rotating fan!) - the fan should stop, if this happens you will need to replace the switch. I hope this helps technoparaphernalia@yahoo.co.uk I would have to say it is probably a stuck relay.
