| 1997 Mercury Mountaineer 5.0L No Start VIN: 4M2DU55P4V Apparently on this vehicle, the CMP sensor aids in more accurate timing of fuel and spark, but it is not necessary to start or run. Also the CKP voltage of 1.5 to 1.7 volts is more than adequate. The PCM was the culprit. Thanks for the help Tom |
