You must install a fuel pressure gage. There usually is a test Port on fuel rail on top of engine.

Is there a fuel pump on a 2001 Ford Taurus or is it handled differently because of fuel injection?

Absolutely your Ford Taurus uses a fuel pump, with fuel injection the fuel pump is an electric fuel pump capable of higher pressures needed for the injectors, the fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank, sometimes the fuel tank has to be removed from the vehicle to service the pump, and some vehicles that I have worked on have an access panel under the rear seat to open up and access the pump that way. Good luck !

Where is the fuel pump located on a 2001 ford taurus? i recently crashed my Taurus and it wont turn on even. the battery went dead attempting to turn it on but it still wouldnt turn on. let me know if you...

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.

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.

2001 ford taurus won't start when hot. It will turnover but won't start. If you try the next day, it starts up fine.

Hi
it sounds like a rich mixture problem , possible causes are faulty  coolant temperature sensor, choked air filter . faulty fuel pressure regulator, another possibility is a faulty fuel pump (overheating)
if this helps let me know
