    Ford Fairmont FAQs

    Why won't my 1997 Ford Fairmont EL start?

    When you say you have fuel, spark and air. How sure are you? These are not complicated engines and given all three of those things are present, the thing is kind of obliged to run. For instance, while you might be able to hear the fuel pump running (suggesting that fuel is being supplied) have you checked the fuel volume and pressure at the injector rail? Similarly, while there may be power at the coil packs, are the spark plugs actually doing their job?

    Beyond that, you need to start looking for an alternative problem and, in engines like this one, you’d probably start with things like the crank-angle sensor which supplies information to the computer to allow the engine to fire. If this – or any other – sensor is dodgy, it can put a stop to play. An electronic scan might reveal more clues.

    My 2005 Ford Fairmont is misfiring

    A misfire under load is often suggestive of an ignition or fuelling fault. You can check the performance of the fuel pump to see that it's delivering the volume of fuel it should, but don't ignore things like dirty fuel filters as a cause of poor fuel delivery.

    That said, this engine is particularly susceptible to failures of the ignition coils. In fact, most mechanics who know their way around this engine will suspect faulty coils before anything else. It's not a terribly expensive fix even though there is a separate coil for each cylinder, but nine times out of ten, this will be the problem in a misfiring Falcon or Fairmont. The other piece of advice is to ensure you only use the genuine Ford ignition coils rather than a cheaper, knock-off coil.

    How do I unlock my 1995 Ford Fairmont car stereo?

    Many car-makers of this era were fitting stereo systems with security codes to deter thieves who were having a field day at the time breaking into cars to steal the radios. The idea was that without the security code, the stereo wouldn't work and was, therefore, useless to the thieves. So why steal it in the first place?

    Great theory, but in practice, these codes have become a nightmare for subsequent owners. That's because every time you need to change the car's battery, the stereo has to have the security code re-entered before the radio will work again. If that's what's happened in your case, then you need to search through the glove-box for all the original owner's manuals and delivery documents to see if you can find the code (usually a four or five-digit number). If you can find it, great, you simply punch it into the stereo and it should be off and running again.

    If you don't have the code, you'll need to contact Ford's customer service division or even a dealership. In some cases, they can quote you the security code over the phone (if you can convince them you're the car's legal owner) and you've provided the car's VIN. What's also possible is that they'll need the serial number of the actual radio which usually means removing it from the dashboard.
