No Start/Normal Crank: Notes

Extended cranking, due to a no-start condition, can load exhaust system with raw fuel, which can ruin catalytic converter after engine is started. On vehicles with Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system, perform the following procedure after the no-start condition has been repaired.

On vehicles with electric AIR system, disconnect AIR solid state relay. Start and run engine until surplus fuel is used, and then reconnect relay. Disconnecting AIR solid state relay may set a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). After repairs are completed, clear DTCs. See appropriate article:

For Contour & Mystique 2.0L, see TESTS W/CODES - 2.0L .

For Contour & Mystique 2.5L, see TESTS W/CODES - 2.5L .

For Windstar, see TESTS W/CODES .

On vehicles with mechanical Secondary Air Injection (AIR), disconnect secondary air supply. Start and run engine until surplus fuel is used, and then reconnect air supply.
