Changed the fuel pump in 2001 ford Taurus afterwards car wont do anything, not even attempt to crank and i don't hear the fuel pump prime.

Under the hood where the relays are there is HEGO fuse 15A this fuse isn't getting power before changing fuel pump I could not get the car to crank, it would just sputter and stall out and afterwards it just wouldn't turn over now I cant get it to do anything. Any suggestions please

    I do have power though in the on position everything works from the windshield wipers to my radio all lights come on except the check engine light. in the CBJ all fuses have power except for the 10A fuse which is in the second column and first row(F2.12) and in the BJB all are receiving power except the 15A HEGO (F128). What do I do, that I can do or what is my problem

    also tried hot wiring the starter relay car attempted to crank but wouldn't turn over, checked inertia switch in trunk it was in the up position I pushed it back down, still nothing from the steering collar. from what i am seeing is that there is something somewhere that isn't getting power, and i cant seem to pinpoint the root to this issue.

    someone please help I am stumped with this issue I don't know anything else to try

  • lenard Dec 26, 2012

    tried a new relay, nothing changed, tomorrow will try unplugging the battery for 20mins and hitting the starter with a hammer. even though it tries to crank when hot wired from starter relay in battery junction box. From researching there could be a (pats) issue because when car is on position theft lights continues to flash....Just completely confused on the issue any suggestions

You should have disconnected the battery to change your fuel pump. First check for a good battery connection

Is battery fully charged? And possibly could be fuel regulator also. There is a YouTube video about something like this...vacuum line might have a hole and fuel pump may have connections backwards..

Try a new relay first. This may not be good news if that does not work. If you can find the EEC (computer) and unplug it, then replace the fuse-if it blows you have another cheaper part on the circuit thats bad.
If the fuse does not blow, then the EEC must be shorted.
If you have to replace the EEC you may find a kindly dealer with a cash-for-clunker sitting there to violate. Salvage yards have them, Ebay sells them. I have seen them at swap meets for $20. They are a high price part even rebuilt at Dealers or autoparts stores.

SOURCE: Intermittent fuel pump engagement when turning key - 2001 Taurus

try cleaning the connector that goes to the fuel pump, sometimes they corrode on inside. If that does not fix, test the wires feeding fuel pump with a multi meter until the condition shows itself again, if voltage drops to zero or very low then wiring problem, if voltage is unchanged with problem and fuel pump is not working and connectors are all clean, try replacement of fuel pump.

SOURCE: Where is the fuel pump located on a 2001 ford

Fuel pump is located inside your fuel tank.Sometimes if you have involved in an accident there is automatic shut off switch that will kill the fuel pump operations and prevent fire durring accident.Chek your manual for fuel pump shut off switch. Sometimes is located in the Trunk or in front of vehicle on driver side under dash on left side panel.

2001 Ford Taurus replaced fuel pump and filter. Engine turns but no crank. Inertia switch was down.. Turn key and hear pump makes running sounds.... No crank. Popped switch out..turned key and no sounds...

Could be a bad switch. Use a ohm meter to check each switch position. Use fuel pressure gauge to test for correct pressure. Use noid light to check for injector pulse. Check for ingnition spark.

Wont start fuel spark

You can check for power at the pump relay, or jumper it to make the pump run.

You'll have to figure out if you are lacking fuel to the injectors or spark to the plugs to proceed.

2001 gmc sierra 1500 injector fuses and relays

Do you hear the fuel pump running on the prime cycle (when you turn on the key) (runs for 3 seconds) or when you have oil pressure?Have someone listen back by the tank for the wrrrrr.If you do have to change the fuel pump,make your life easy and just tilt up (lift) the pickup box from the drivers side to access the fuel pump.Takes 20 minutes to change it that way.

Car wont start

You need to be very quiet for this test, but try turning the ignition key until dash warning lights are on, but without cranking the engine. Listen for whirring noise from fuel pump in the gas tank. You may even lift out the rear seat base, to pick up any sound as best you can. If you can't hear anything from several attempts then it's likely you have a failed fuel pump. The fuel pump can sometimes suffer damage when running out of fuel.

I changed my fuel pump because it has 260,000 miles on it and truck would cut off when It got warm. Now it wont start after I replaced pump. What do I need to do to get it to start again?

Did you put at least 5 gallons in the tank so the pump will prime properly? Do you hear the new pump running for 1 second when the key is turned to run? Do this remove the Schrader valve core from the fuel supply rail to the injectors on the engine fuel pressure test port (don't loose it) and repeatedly cycle the key from off to run, do not crank the engine, this will help to prime the electric fuel pump, but have at least 5 gallons in the tank before starting the process. Make sure someone watches the fuel pressure test port so when fuel starts to flow you stop the priming process before everything is covered in gas. Also a fuel pump doesn't cause the system you described, an ignition control module and stator cause that and are a known problem in this year of truck. Another problem is the ignition starter switch comes apart.

First, verify that there is gas in the vehicle. Next, listen for the pump to energize when you turn the ignition switch to the on position. If you dont hear anything, check the fuel pump relay. Swap it with another one next to it, they are often the same part. If it still doesn't energize, its most likely the pump thats failed. If you hear the pump energize, then the pump pressure needs to be checked. A fuel gauge needs to be connected under the hood on the fuel rail to read system pressure. Verify that its at factory specs. If not, replace the pump.
