Re: 302 efi wont start unless throttle is moved

I would start by checking the computer ground Since you didn't give the year I would think it is in the kick panel on the Pass. side. You have a relay for the computer system next to the computer. I have removed the relay made a jumper and jumped across the two large terminals for a test. A plugged fuel filter will cause a no start. The relay for the fuel pump is usually close to the trunk hinge.
These vehicles normally have two fuel pumps a primer pump in the tank. The other fuel pump is along the frame by the fuel filter. I cleaned the fuel injectors on my t-bird with a 302. This made a hugh difference.
The battery ground was loose on my T-bird.
Ford had a recall on the ignition switch for my T-bird but I had already replaced it. I was only getting 8 volts to the module.
