Good afternoon, first post here! Grandfather passed away long time ago and left a 1993 Tbird SC it doesn't have more than 30K miles. It was used for a couple of years and fuel pump gave out and was left standing on the driveway for about 3 years. Last week I started to work on the car to revive it, changed the fuel pump, new fuel filter, pumped out old gas and added fresh gas. Now the problem (a couple) is the car only starts with starting fluid, once it starts it keeps running (although not very good and with lots of black smoke coming from the exhaust), going to go get the injectors cleaned next week to see if that solves the issue also waiting on a fuel pressure tester to arrive to see how is the pressure. Also when key is put on ignition the radiator fan turns on immediately and never shuts off, I tried getting codes using the OBD scanner but neither the scanner plugged to the EEC-IV harness works or using the paperclip method produces codes (it doesn't even go to test mode I also tried connecting tester ground directly to battery and nothing). I'm really lost on what else I can try as I cant get any error codes to diagnose the problems, would a bad relay or bad ECM cause this issue? Any help would be appreciated! - Thank you!
