Hello,
I have a 93 taurus (3.0L) it started with a radiator problem. After replacing the radiator I started the car but the alternator light was on which it wasn't before changing the radiator. It ran fine but in the process of trying to daignose the alternator problem it quit starting and now has no spark but has 12 volts at coil. I tried to hook up my scanner but it cannot communicate with the scanner. What is up with this I'm about to go ballistic. Is it the pcm? which I'm afraid of because of the altenator light problem. I hate not having a good diagnostic procedure for this. Thanks for any input.
