In my 89 t-bird when I hook up the battery the fuel pump comes on and the fan kicks on. It started fine a week before that except I had to jump start it.

Try disconnecting the ECU for 5 mins, then turn the key on and wait for all the checks then start. ECU should be located behind the passenger kick panel. Best of luck to ya
