The car would still start even if the MAF was disconnected.

Thats all you did was disconnect the IAC? Do you have anyway to read the codes? Also how long did you leave the battery unhooked?

no i don't have a scanner to check the codes,but thats all i disconnected was the iac.doesn't makes any sense but i disconnected the battery for about 2 mins to reset the computer and still nothing.does any one think it could be throwing a code telling it not to crank...like a safe mode some what?

a shot in the dark, does it have a security system? That would keep it from starting...might need to see the Ford dealer...good luck

For Fords, the battery need to me disconnected for like 12 or so mins. I would do it for 15 just to be on the safe side.
