A few days ago WHILE DRIVING my 1997 Woodward Dream Cruise Edition Mustang GT cut off. I happened to be pulling in for fuel and thought at first maybe I had run out of gas. The engine tries to start meaning it does crank but is not getting fuel or spark. The Anti-Theft system light is flashing on the dash. I have tried to disarm the system with no luck. The key is not damaged and I assume still has the chip inside being as the plastic is not broken, I spoke to a tech at ford and he suggested replacing the transponder which I did with no luck. I have 2 keys for the vehicle with one remote. The second key is a all metal key that I imagine has no chip but Im not sure. Any Ideas? The vehicle is some 50 miles away from nearest dealer and I have competant mechanics to work on it. Owners manuel does not provide enough detailed information on anti-theft system.

UPDATE. We found that the eec fuse was blown and after putting in a new fuse it blows almost immediately. Any ideas what could casue this too happen?

Did you ever figure this problem out? My theft system cuts off the fuel to my engine while on the freeway! Yikes!

have you tried to run it on a computer and seeif any codes come up?

also refrain from using your non-factory key, they arent meant to work unless you have two chip keys that are regularly used with the vehicle
