IS there a big FUEL smell at all....i may have your answer if you do....
On 1999 returnless cars they have a sensor that moitors fuel in the rail..well theres a little diafram in it the prevents fuel from going into a vacum line.
its directly under the throttle body on the fuel line itself.
On 1998 return systems, its the fuel pressure regulator....this may be your problem....ill ahve to double check my ford CD at home to see the fuel system for a return system.
But if your smelling a larg amount of fuel, this could be your problem.
