Hi - there's actually no such word as faultèd and never has been. In English the grave accent is used to emphasise a (non standard) pronounciation such as used in poetry.

For example:


 * "Blessed" if often or usually pronounced "Blesd" (ie the second "e" is not really pronounced)

but the accent in :


 * "Blessèd" means it is pronounced "bless-hed"

Similarly for "lookèd" (pronounce "luck-hed") and "looked" (usually pronounced "lukd")

But for "faulted" the word is already pronounced "fault-hed" - there is no common (or possible) pronunciation where the "e" is not pronounced.

This is explained at Grave accent § English (Wikipedia).
