- Are you saying you turn the key to the start position and there are no clicking noises, the [starter](/topics-starter-ford/) does not engage, the [engine](/topics-engine-ford/) does not spin (crank)?

Hey moose, I'm Ethan. No there are clicking noises, I can hear the pump and everything turn on. It's just when I try to crank it, it sounds like clicking noises. I just recently changed the coils and the wires and it started doing thatAlso i my radio turns on and off and I'm no longer able to roll up my windows, I'm thinking my battery is dead not sure

Hello, Ethan
What is the battery voltage with the key in the RUN position?
Do you know how to test the inputs to a relay using a volt-ohm meter?
Customer

I couldn't answer that question right now as I don't have any tools to determine voltage on either, the car was able to turn on no problem before the DIY job of that helps any

Do you know anyone with a voltmeter that would let you borrow it? If not you can buy one, they are only about $30 for a cheap one.

That would be perfect. A cheap digital tool will do all we should need. Just reply once you have it.

Alright my man, I got the car working and turned on but now I got white smoke coming from my [exhaust](/topics-exhaust-ford/) without any significant temperature rise. Is it most likely a leaking head gasket?The it was at operational temps for a good while and still had smoke coming out
Chris (aka- Moose)

If the smoke did not smell bad like it had a lot of fuel in it then yes, it is likely due to it burning [coolant](/topics-coolant-ford/) from a faulty head gasket. A compression test would confirm that or not.
Thank you for seeking us for help, I hope I provided what was needed. Press reply if you need to follow up. If you liked my answer please let me know so I can mark your question complete. Moose

The smell of the smoke had a sweet scent but nothing too pungent
