Fuel pump or not?

[Dankar]

Following my thread on Lincoln Continental...I am still having problems starting the car when it's cold outside. Symptoms: when the car has been off over night, the car will not start. (Will crank, but not start). I DO have a spark on the ignition and, as suggested, I replaced the crank sensor. This did not help anything! At first, the car will turn and act like it will start, but it just doesn't get started. It tries and tries. Then, it will start lean...run for a second or two and then shut off. It may take me over an hour of trying to start it to finally get it going. It always starts very lean, but then starts running. When it's over 50 degrees, it starts fine...only when it's cold.

I am starting to feel like it may be a problem caused by the fuel pump. I started looking on ebay and there is a repair module pump for $26.00. I would have to dismantle tank, remove pump assembly and install this one on.

Has any of you ever experienced these symptoms? Anyone have any suggestions?
That is the unit I am talking about!Link on EBAY Item number

Is it firing for a split second when you crank it? Like it is starting then just dies when you let go of the key?

No some time It will not start just crank. Then after multiple try it will fire for a second then quit and it seem to run very lean. This morning it id 50 degree after 5 try it started.

During the day there is not one apparent symptom if it started

It run me crasy!

That car is not logic

Hi, do you know if the ignition module has been replaced yet? Same thing happened to me and mine was a bad ignition module.

Ignition module

I seriously do not know if it was change...
But I tested the old fashion way and get clear bright spark on it at all time.
I am inclining to the IAC more and more, got one order. Today it did the same thing and my driver door was open, The fuel that was burn went it did start smell very very lean quite a bad mixture. I think I am on my way to resolve this.

Thanks
