Same engine as the 12V 2.9i Scorpio - albeit the only electrics on the auto 'box is a kickdown solenoid and it probably won't have a cat, O2 sensor or EGR/evap system.

Yeah fuel cut off in boot, fuel pump relay, wiring to fuel pump & does it have a imobliser?

All things that it sounds like it could be.
