Did you have the alternator tested IN THE CAR? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

yes i think it might be something with the car jumping ground i just found out if you let the car sit for a min it starts back up. it might have bad grounds due to rust or vibs rattling them loose along the years. tell me if this sounds like it could be the answer?????????????? the battery doesnt loose its charge and also checked with volt meter the altinator recharges the battery. also checked the iacv but i dont think that is the problem

Sounds like you've got a connection problem somewhere. it could be a ground or it could be a power feed. You need to start at the battery and remove every cable and clean it and reinstall it. Follow all the cables to all the connections and wire brush every one. Those fords are pretty notorious for having bad connections that look clean. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
