Tl*the contact owns a 1993 ford tempo. The engine would not turn over, but when the key was slightly turned in the ignition, something electrical in the vehicle would start. When the contact changes the key slightly in the ignition, he loses all power and can hear an electrical spark as if it is attempting to make a connection. The vehicle goes from having no power to power, depending on the sparking. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on three different occasions for this failure. While attempting to repair the vehicle, the batteries have been replaced three times. A new battery was recently installed in the vehicle and the fuses were replaced on four occasions. In addition, the starter was replaced, the terminal cables were replaced three times, and the vehicle had more tune-ups than what was necessary in order to diagnose the failure. The contact was informed that his VIN was excluded from the federal safety agency campaign id number 96v071000 (electrical system: ignition). The current mileage was 108,000 and failure mileage was 40,000.
