1990 F150 Fuel pump just replaced but wont turn on

I have a 1990 Ford F150 XLT with a 351 and E4OD auto. I was driving it home a few weeks ago and noticed that it seemed to be missing. I pulled up to a stop sign and as soon as the truck came to an idle it died. I tried starting it with no luck and noticed that the fuel pump wouldnt turn on. I thought that the fuel pump went bad so I replaced it. The truck started after a few tries and seemed to idle ok. I took it for a drive and after about 1 mile it started missing again. I got another mile and it died. The truck would not start and the fuel pump doesnt turn on again. I tested the original pump that I thought was bad, but it still works. Any ideas?

Replace the fuel pump relay. And if your truck has dual tanks there's three fuel pumps, one in each tank and another secondary fuel pump.

You can check and make sure your strainer and filter are changed or your engine will "fall flat on its face" when started.

Dual tanks on 1990 Ford F150

It should not cause no problems but instead of removing the tank leave it in the truck take out all the fuel in the tank and jus discontinue use of it. This will save you alot of time and trouble and i also suggest that if anyone besides you drives this vehicle then i would put a locking gas cap on it so it cant be accessed at anytime except by you.

Will a 2001 E4OD transmission fit my 96 F150

I would say that physically the transmission may fit due to the engine sizes being the same, but the 96 F150 is a E4OD transmission and the 01 is a 4R70W transmission, they do not work the same electrically.
