2001 Ford Focus - Page 3 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I won't change the fuel pump without testing ! An this guy is just guessing . Suppose you listen to that dude an that doesn't fix the problem ! Test don't guess . Testing Electric Fuel Pump Problems with Voltage Drop Test It could die because of a lot of thing's , relays , sensors , engine computer , loose ground connection .

Back in the 80's I had a ford maverick with similar problems. The relays were on the wheel well. It was by luck I bumped the relay and it was very hot. Next time it shuts down check the temp on the relays. If one is real hot that may be you problem. My neighbor had a similar problem with a blazer she thought it was the fuel pump. Before I changed the fuel pump for her I swapped the A/C relay with the fuel pump relay(they were the same relay) . She live there about 6 months before moving and to my knowledge she never had the problem. I agree with you I think it is something to do with electrical and overheating is a sign of a problem.

If you don't see a loss of fluid, it's trans shop time. Sorry! don-ohio

Could be head gasket leakage and the water is being blown out of the over flow pipe.

Sounds like you have a loose connection on a battery cable. loosen the bolt and pull off each end and clean, then replace. When you clean them, make sure you get down to clean metal.

check the battery ground wire for tight and clean on the engine check both battery terminals are clean and tight the problem is from a loose /broken wire that is moving when the engine reacts to load ( engine mount failure ) on some other makes it can be traced to the cam position or crank position wires broken or bare

No, something wrong with the suspension, probably where the wheel mounts at the top. Check your front strut.

Check crank shaft sensor and cam sensor.

You have not mentioned whether you do a OBD fault code test on this, if not do that and post the results. Also jumper the fuel pump relay socket under the hood so it stays on all the time, you could have a defective starter switch, in this scenario the fuel pump is powered up as long as the engine is cranking, but as soon as the key is released to run position it shuts off.

idle air control valve problem , maybe ! Clogged passage . When you put extra load on the engine , such as turning on the A/C the PCM is suppose to raise the idle RPM . With a up scale scan tool you can see if the PCM is controlling the IAC valve . There are videos on you tube on cleaning The IAC , plus testing ! PCM is the engine computer ,just in case your not familiar with that .

Could be lack of lubricant on moving joints, bad relay or just it's time.
