you could test the coil packs...resistance from hot to ground, each one...and comparatively against one another....ex-communicate the defector~

A Power Balance test with a good scan tool will tell you instantly which cylinder is missing. You didn't mention a flashing "Check Engine" light (which would indicate a misfire as well). Are you just hearing it or is the engine performing poorly? If it's just a noise and there's no actual misfire or loss of performance, I'd turn the radio up.

I have a 97 Thunderbird, When I turn on the car it will turn and there seems to be a screeching sound. And then it won't turn on. However it will turn on after I turn the key 2-4 times. Once it's on it runs awesome, it's just the start up that sounds bad. The starter has already been replaced so I don't think that's the problem, but again I'm not a mechanic so I can't say for sure. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 4 Answers

I have a 2003 Ford Thunderbird. It has been sitting all winter in the garage and I forgot to start it. Now, when I start it, it starts quickly then shuts down quickly and the horn blows. 4 Answers

The steering wheel moves, the door locks work, the dials on the dash work, but the engine shuts down and the horn blows. I have charged the battery. What could it be?
