Low milage.....yes, only due to the fact I am unable to enjoy the car like I would like to, but once I get that solved low ilage will not even come into play.

Radio being up..meanng the volume past the normal listening level. In other words my lights remain on, the radio still playing music, the AC still cranking out cold air, & my windows still go up and down when Im driving and the car turns off. So it may not be a loss of power (electrical).

Codes... Im lost, I have no clue about them, I didnt even know that it had any.

The spark plug does spark when the car doesnt want to turn on, I know that test was run at least twice & both times did what it was supposed to do except turn over.

Shortly after that, is when the entire fuel system was changed, from the start of cleaning out the tank, replacing all the lines, filters everything, but sure enough, problem is still there.

Replace the Coil...... Theres something I dont recall if it was done, I will have to check all my service records, and parts records to see if it was.

One of the trips my car had made to the dealer, they did change alot of the recall parts, the fan, the brake, air bag & the hood seperation, and something on the transmission, if memory serves me right it had to do with the overdrive.

Now I recall something about the faulty ignitions switches, I had an 89 taurus before getting this GT, & the switch was indeed a bad one, but not to the point of the problems Im having with this car.

No matter how much I try to stay away from Ford vehicles, I never owned a japanese make in my life, I always end up going right back to them, with my 95' GT & 03' F150 . . . . . . .

ok, cool, you know you have spark. that helps a lot. so one can reasonable guess that it is fuel related.

i have two thoughts (first two all day. LOL). anyone with an SN95: im sure they have inertia switches....i would check that thing. on foxes, it is in the trunk. it is for collisions - keeps fuel from pumping if an impact is felt.

you could have an intermittant connection in the switch. for some folks, the faulty switch will trip if they are cornering hard, etc.

the other thought: once again, if wired like a fox, there is a fusable link off the starter solenoid. this Fusable link feeds power, through the FP relay, for the fuel pump. if it sorta burned, it can also make intermittant contact (getting worse normally when the motor is hot).

other things: could even be the fuel pressure regulator. if you pull the vac line off of it, if there is fuel in the vac line, that is very indicative of a bad regulator (bad diaphram).

info for you: the computer feeds ground to the sensors and many relays. for the FP, it supplies a ground pulse to the FP relay. should you ever test the FP relay connections, that is something to look for.

this is hard to help with cuz it is intermittant. if you check my last post (i think), i talked about a fuel pressure gauge. i would really go for that now. next time it dies, if you have less than adequate pressure, that confirms it is fuel management. (this might be easier than performing electrical diagnostics for ya).

or, if you can, when it dies, play with the relay (if you dont want to test the connections). you could get another to keep around with you (or just put it in and see if things clear up). some relays are bad out of the box. been there and done that. i bet others have too.

also, on foxes, you can swap the relay with the a/c relay (same part number). nice for diagnostics. i dont know where your FP relay is. on 87- ~ late92 foxes, it is under the drivers seat. late 92 adn 93's have it on the pass fender, under the air intake (in front of the strut tower).

im just tossin out ideas for you to think about, and have others think about.

on your coil: based on the info XR1 had at the time, coil sounded good. but i think he would agree, now that you know you have spark when it wont start, that does not sound likely....

that is about all i can think of for now. i know it does not help much. let us know what questions you have, or how to do tests (if any sound like something you would want to tackle).

good luck.
