I have a 1994 ford Taurus GL with a 3.8L. Recently i have run into the oddest problem i have ever had with a car, and despite my best efforts, i am completely stumped. When you turn on the ignition, the fuel pump powers on like normal, but wont shut off, it normally shuts off after 2 - 3 seconds. now it will go until the battery drains down. the radiator fan comes on immediately, no matter what temp it is out side, that has never happened before. and the idle air control valve starts making a soft buzzing noise, don’t know if it has before or not. and the car will not start. it turns over, but simply wont start. i have replaced the coil, plugs, wires, filters distributor, rotor, egr valve, and egr pressure sensor. i have absolutely no idea where else to look other then the PCM or the ECC. any help will be appreciated.
