Car Alarms/2000 Lincoln Town Car cranks but won't start.

Question
When my 2000 Town car cranks but won't start the red light on top of the dash blinks really fast when we turn the key to the on position. We put a new fuel pump and battery in it. The Ford garage can't figure out why our car cranks over but won't start. It has started 3 to 4 times in the last week and not started the rest of the time. We were able to get it to start and we drove it to the dealership and then it wouldn't start for them, so they hooked it up to the computer and it wouldn't recognize it. Then the next morning it started for them and the computer on the car let the garages computer in. They replaced the battery and reprogrammed the keys, we drove it home and now won't start again. This time I pulled the fuses out of the aftermarket remote starter that has been on the car for 2 years and it still cranks over but will not start. The Ford garage says they have never seen this before. Do you know what is wrong with my car?

Thank you for contacting ALARMTEK on this subject.
I am happy to announce that I have set up a web site
to deal with the FORD P.A.T.S. "No Start" issue and
explained the methods, with illustrations, to get
around this common problem many Ford vehicle owners
& shop mechanics face everyday.

Please go to the FORD PATS website/Blog and begin your
project to learn how to bypass PATS so you can
drive your vehicle again!

Good luck and if you have more relative questions
about the Ford's P.A.T.S. (Passive-Anti-Theft-System),
please be sure to use the PATS BLOG link on that
page to post it or, any other comments you want to
express.

I do hope you find it useful,
& good luck with your project.
