Easier to replace the whole steering column from a junkyard than it is to remove an ignition without a key. Locksmith is cheaper and faster. Key can be made using vin number, your ID and registration at the FORD dealership. I have had a mobile locksmith that usually goes to car auctions make one super fast. There is a set of "masters" they can copy your key from.
My friend is a part time mechanic he gets his solutions from www.reliable-store.com he gets from their every single detailed info, instructions,
diagrams, error codes, troubleshooting, transmission etc. everything on all vehicles, and manuals like service, repairs, parts, owner's, operations, maintenance etc.
U can get help from there
there is a girl at chat she can help you
You will get your solution and all info on service info, repair info, parts info, wiring/electrical/fuse diagrams, error/fault codes, torque specs, PCV,
owner's/service/repair/parts/maintenance manuals etc everything
this website www.reliable-store.com
it's a very good website for vehicle problems even as old as 1991 ford..
If you're finding it difficult to service/repair your car, get one of those online manuals. You'll not have to wait for others to answer, or rely on mechanics and all. Plus I know a
website that has very good manuals online, without expiry i.e. for lifetime.

P1446 - EVAP Canister Vent Control Valve Close EVAP canister vent control valve remains closed under specified driving conditions.
This solenoid valve responds to signals from the ECM. When the ECM sends
an ON signal, the coil in the solenoid valve is energized. A plunger
will then move to seal the canister vent. The ability to seal the vent
is necessary for the on board diagnosis of other evaporative emission
control system components.
This solenoid valve is used only for diagnosis, and usually remains
opened. When the vent is closed, under normal purge conditions, the
evaporative emission control system is depressurized and allows EVAP
Control System (Small Leak) diagnosis.
The EVAP canister vent control valve is located on the EVAP canister and is used to seal the canister vent.
Symptoms: - Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
About the possible causes that your must solved: - EVAP control system pressure sensor and the circuit - Blocked rubber tube to EVAP canister vent control valve - EVAP canister vent control valve - Water separator - EVAP canister is saturated with water
You have a mechanical bind. Disconnect the main linkage and work it all by hand. Everything should be free and slopy. Aerosol carb cleaner will help, but only when the engine is not running.
Could be a stuck relay.
I suggest you obtain a wiring diagram for reference and use a voltmeter or test lamp to discover what points are remaining live when they should be switched off.
Use a OBD2 fault code reader or scanner to reset the system. A full wipe is done by disconnecting the battery negative cable for 5 min's. I do not recommend this as you will then loose all stored and learned engine and transmission data and have to perform an OBD2 drive cycle test to complete/pass any emission testing required.
If your looking for a magical fix forget there aren't any ! Electrical testing is the only way to find problems . When it won't start , what's missing ? Spark , fuel pressure ? What's with the jet chip , what do you think that's going to do . Replacing parts without testing an knowing for sure , is not the way to a proper fix . Did you check the crankshaft position sensor ,

Watch a few video's on youtube on basic automotive electrical testing , how to read an use a wiring diagram . Check for B+ voltage at the relays at pin's 30 & 85 . If you pull the relay out of it's socket in the fuse box an look on the bottom you will see four set's of numbers . 30,87 this the load side . Being the fans are the load . 30 should have B+ voltage . 85 & 86 are the control side , one should have B+ voltage an the other the PCM controls by give a ground inside the PCM by a transistor . http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html wiring diagram !
