Question
I have a 1997 Ford Expedition that gives me intermittent starting problems. If I shut the car off after driving it for a while, it sometimes wont start right back up. Sometimes it takes 20 minutes or so before it does, sometimes it takes 3 hours before it will start. I am getting power as all the gauges, radio, windows and accessory power is good, but no start. Please advise.

Answer
This vehicle has the PATS anti-theft system
in the ignition and key.
It appears you've reset the PATS.
The car does not recognise the chip in the ignition
key any longer, or is intermittent and will
fail shorly.

The PATS (FORD'S PASSIVE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM)
needs to be reprogrammed I believe.
You can tow it to any FORD vehicle dealer
to have the service department re code it.

Or, get the KXO4 PKFORD bypass module
at www.PASSLOCK2.com and bypass it
permananently.

This will solve your issue for good.
