No worries. I was just thinking that it would be quicker to just try another computer if you have access to one.

[Diffwa]

yeah not at the moment :(

Just remember that this isn't a solid diagnosis, it's just ideas getting thrown around. I'd still be inclined to double check everything first.

No problems mate will do

Digging up an old thread, did you ever figure out what was going on op?

Hey Mate, I saw your post and I'm having the same problem of your car.

 

It's a Ford Falcon BA XR6 Turbo - 2004

 

The car run really smooth, but sometimes it's cut out and doesn't crank anymore. I have replaced a lot of parts and nothing... The last one, I replaced the starter motor, replace the battery ground, throttle body.

I hope you already find the problem of yours, could you give me a light? I already went in 4 mechanic shops different but no one found the problem.

NOTE: I noticed that when it cuts, the fuel pump and starter motor don't work. After a few minutes it starts working intermittently.

 

I'm very bad because I both this car 4 months ago and since I bough it I didn't use one day without this problem.

 

Thanks a lot for your help.

Sounds like you might have a partial short on the emergency fuel/start reset switch located in the passenger front footwell closest to the door hinge area

 

Remove the plastic kick panel cover and on B series it’s located what seems like up near where the glove box hinge is 

On a FG series it’s an obvious pop out style reset button in pretty much the same location. 
 

This automatically opens cct when the vehicle has been in a front end impact but there’s a potential this button/cct could be partially shorting 

 

is a free look at and without more information an easy go to for you to look upon

Hi JETURBO,

 

Many thanks for your help, I didn't quite understand what this switch would be, if it's not a big problem for you, could you send me a picture of where it is located? Thank you in advance for your help.

Come on mate, you just got a perfect description and free advice that could save you hundreds of dollars. Get in and have a look around the passenger footwell area. Take photos yourself and post those if you need further guidance
