No, I don't think you are trying to discourage or belittle. You have been GREAT! You are probably right, I don't really want to give up but probably should. It's coming up on 3 weeks now. I will replace those few little parts that are coming and try to do some testing of the fuel pump circuit and then, if still no luck, take it somewhere.
Would it be better to go to a Ford dealer? What if it is PATS related? Aren't they the only ones that mess with PATS?
Quick related question: Ignition switch. Do all models and years use the same switch? The easiest pick-a-part place for me to go to doesn't have many 98+'s, and no 98+'s with the V6. Another place does, but it is farther.
