SOURCE: 2000 Ford Expedition wont start

On the engine there is a tube that supplies fuel to the fuel injectors, on that tube there is a valve, like a metal tire valve, this is the fuel pressure test port, you will need a special guage to check the pressure that screws onto that valve, Kragen and other parts stores sell this test kit, it is very inexpensive, about $20.00, but cheaper than having a shop do it for you, if you do the test and you have no pressure while cranking the engine then your fuel pump is bad, the pump is in the gas tank, a big job and dangerous due to chance of fire if you are not cautious.

SOURCE: fuel pump location and replacement

You are looking for the constant control relay module- ( CCRM ) see below. The pump will be located inside the fuel tank.Most of the time , its the pump and not the relay but, it wouldn't hurt to check the relay out. Teh relay is housed in the CCRM. Its located behind the engine coolant reservoir.

2 solutions: first, ignition control module is getting hot and shutting car down. 2nd; you didn't mention your dash(service soon) lights were on.<p>
You said the fuel filter was pretty clogged up. It's sounds like a bad case of EGS(ethanol gas syndrome). The ethanol;being a corn deritive;acts like corn liquor(which is what is is), and turns the fuel to goop, and adds large amounts of water through out all the systems.<p>
It clogs up the fuel lines,the injectors, and ruins fuel pumps. It also puts heavy carbon on egr valves, int. and exh. valves, and can ruin oxy sensors, and catalytic converters.<p>
Let's try the cheapest way first:Buy a can of SEAFOAM and Berkline 2+2 at your parts store. Take out the oxy sensor(s) and clean the ends using the 2+2 and re-install.
Then change out the fuel filter again. Pour the SF into a tank of PREMIUM(only) gas. Change the pcv valve. Then start vehicle and let idle for 3-5 min(even if you have to rev it up to do it to get the SF flowing through the system), and then drive it 10 hard miles.<p>
Replace that fuel filter, and then let it idle some more. Your car sounds like it is really messed up bad. Unless you take it to a garage that has a fuel system cleaner machine, this is the best way to do it.<p>
After this, add SF every 3-5000 miles to your tank. It will prevent this from happening again. Also; to be on the safe side. Have a PSI check on your fuel pump. This goop could have burnt it up. I hope this helps.

2002 v6 ford mustang makes a squealing sound

Stay on track--- spark plugs & filters don't make noise

When you buy a vehicle, you set up a preventative
maintenance schedule,no excuse for no filter change
or trans & power steering fluids & brake fluid

Start listening to & checking things
Where is the squeal coming from?
Loosen the belt & try feeling the water pump

Stalling out could be unrelated,did you by someones

Replaced fuel pump and still have same problem when u turn the key on the pump will come on for a second then no sound will not start

fuel pumps only run for a few seconds when the key is first turned on, then runs all the time after car starts, need to check fuel pressure at the fuel rail, or could be electrical, also check the fuel pump safety switch the owners manual should tell you where it is located

I have a 2000 mustang that will not stay running,,, it was running fine, i parked it for two months in the cold and didnt start it up, when i did... it wont run if u give it gas however it will set and...

I would run the fuel pump for a little while with the fuel line disconnected from the engine into a gas can . Although you might have changed everything you might still have residual water in lines or motor. I would still put dry gas in the tank

Engine will not start.fuel pump does not run. intermittent problem. has been getting progressively worse. have changed fuel filter. checked electrical connectors.need accurate wiring diagram. chiltons...

start by checking the fuel pump fuse and relay. will the fuel pump run for a few seconds when you turn the key to the run position? If so you may need to replace the crank position sensor. When this goes bad the engine will turn over and start, but only run for a second or two then die like its out of gas.

If you do not hear the fuel pump coming on and the fuse and relay check out good then you will have to see if there is power going to the fuel pump. if power is present at the fuel pump plug then the fuel pump is bad

My 2000 mustang will not start when parked on an incline. once in a flat position, it will finally start. the car turns over, but won't start. could this be a bad fuel filter?

the fuel tank will need to come down and the inner components inspected. you could have a loose fuel pump or baffles. get a trusted technician to inspect this.

1999 Ford Mustang V6

I would recommend replacing your fuel filter, I also drive a V6 and after replacing my filter it really improved my milage and my car ran alot smoother. I would also recommend buying a octane fuel cleaner, that will clean out your fuel injectors if those are clogged up. If it comes down to down you may need to replace the fuel injectors, but it doesn't sound like the problem is too severe if the engine is still running which is good. I recommend not to drive until the fuel filter is replace as well as putting octane injector clearner in the gas tank. You can find the octane cleaner at Checkers for cheap.
