fuel

the other day my 2004 Sport Trac died while i was driving down the road. i towed it to the house, and determined the fuel pump was bad by: 1) listening to the tank (no buzzing when key is turned to run) 2) checked the fuel pump fuse, still good 3) checked the relay connections for power, got...

i have a 2001 ex sport 4.0 , i think my fuel pump is going bad so i checked the pressure, hooked up gauge turned on the key and got 40 psi, started the truck and got 62 psi. but at WOT it drops to 40psi, and after idling for a few min the needle will bounce from 60 to 62... is this normal??? the...

My timing chain broke and in an effort to see which or if my cam shafts are spinning I cranked the engine without valve covers. I had the fuel pump disabled as well as the spark plug lines, but something sparked and set that insulating foam b/w the upper intake and the motor on fire. Some things...

I have a 1996 Explorer 4D 4x4 4.0L. I recently replaced a bad fuel pump, and also installed a new tank and hanger assembly. Until I did this, the gas gauge worked just fine. After install, it does not move off the bottom below 'E'. Dropped the tank and checked it with the pump removed from...

Hi all, This is my first post on the forum, but I've been using the extremely useful tech tips to do a bunch of regular maintenance projects on my B3000. But here's an issue I really need help with: Sometimes the truck starts and runs without any problem. Other times, especially when it...

Having the following problem with my instrument cluster: Tachometer Stuck at 3200RPM(ish) while running) moves up but not down. Fuel gauge not working. Low Oil pressure all the time (about half way up, never moves, even after a oil change) Engine always says its about a 1/4 over in the...

Hi, i have a 1999 eddie bauer explorer and it has been giving me problems. I ran out of gas one day and after i filled it up it was fine for about a week or so. Then out of nowhere the engine would die randomly but start up again and be fine for a few days. Then finally it just wouldnt keep...

little history, I buy a car with around 100000 miles for cash and run it till it dies. my caravan that had 220000 + miles just went on me, so not cost effective to repair. After 7 years of the same car I bought my dream truck, a 2001 Ford sport trac. looks awsome...or so I thought, the guy I...

I have replaced the fuel pump, filter, I fabricated a bigger fuel tank as the original one had a lot of rot inside and out. Also the injectors, flushed fuel lines and new fuel relay.... I know I am forgetting something but I cant for the life of me figure it out. Any help is...

Okay so finally i got my fuel pump out of my 94 ex and it works. In the car it doesnt but if i jump it to the battery it works fine. SO i put it back but I bypassed the entire relay to see if my truck would start. Nope. I made sure the fuel pump was running in the right direction and it was. But...

OKay guys, I'm taking sorta an informal poll here. My truck recently started making a really strange noise, which I have tracked to the fuel tank. I recently had the tank down searching for an evap leak, but I never ended up opening the tank, or breaking any of the connections (except the...

So I was cruising along the highway coming home the other day at a nice 120 KM/H (75 MPH). Got stuck behind a slow moving truck, so put it into 4th and speed up to 140 KM/H (85 MPH) and put it back into 5th. While doing this the check engine light came on. After I put it back into 5th and slowed...

1992 Ford Explorer XLT. Changed fuel pump, fuel pump relay, EEC relay, fuel filter . Not getting power to fuel relay when key is turned. Pump turns on if jumped but relay will not get energized by the ECU, im assuming. NO INERTIA SWITCH. All fuses under hood and inside are good.

What would cause my 94 Explorer to throw OBD2 codes: P0172, P0176, and P0332? What do they all have in common? Just changed the alternator. Someone told me it could be the fuel pump or the ignition switch, but IDK. Symptoms: Sometimes has a rough idle with fluxuating voltage and will shut...

Hey Everyone, Every time I fill up my tank, the info center states that I should get on average between 380 and 390 per tank, but in reality, I get 330. Also, upon manually calculating average mpg, the computer info center is off by 0.5 (I average 15.8 and computer says 16.3). Is...

I have a 93 for explorer, v6. Fuel injected. I Recently parked it, then went to class a few hours. Came back out and tried to start it, but it would not start. If i held the ignition on it would kinda "Wind up" to where the engine would stay around 500-100 rms, bouncing back and forth. I then...

I was recently trying to remove my fuel filter when i accidentally ripped the braided fuel line leading into the fuel filter in half. I cannot find this line anywhere, it seems to be about an 8 inch segment coming from a metal line which goes back to the gas tank. Can it be removed from the...

Alright, so I have and OBD code for an evap leak AND the check fuel cap light on. I started out by replacing the fuel cap twice and reseting the codes, but they pop back up the next day. Whenever I gas up the car, I get a strong smell of gas inside the cabin. I can't seem to locate the actual...

I've got a problem with my Explorer starting. I've had her for about a year now, and the problem started almost as soon as I got her. I have had to turn the key quite a few times to hear the fuel pump "whirr" so that I can start it. Got pissed off with this mode of driving, so I first...

I will start off by asking you to forgive me for any mistakes in terminology, I am a fifteen year G.M. master tech (don't hate me from the beginning). I have a 94 explorer with a 4.0L and manual trans that I just picked up. This is my first Ford. It had a cracked head so I replaced. both with...

Was under the dash of my 2 day old, new to me, '04 Sport Trac installing a remote starter last Sunday. This does not involve any dashboard hook ups, just under dash. When I backed out of the shop, the dash "dinged" a low fuel warning and the gauge was as low as it could go below empty. When I...

I've got two quick questions. Recently, I told you guys that my 91 Nav's fuel and temperature gauges do not work, causing me to constantly worry about running out of gas. since I bought the truck, that's only happened twice, the second day after I bought it, and today. I was on my way the...

Hi Guys I have a 2000 Explorer, used three fuels. gasoline, LPG, and HHO Two at a time. HHO on LPG and I have had an increase in mileage of between 25% and 45% in the city, very good, considering that Santo Domingo has many in-clogging traffic. HHO generator I built it with 21 plates SS316L is...

Aright guys here's the deal, my 2002 Explorer started having this problem about a month ago. While trying to pump gas, the pump clicks of every few seconds as if the tank is full. I tried pulling out the nozzle a little...and still no luck. However, gas does not shoot out of my tank like with...

hey guys i just got a fuel filter for my explorer because it has been running like crap lately, some times when i start it up it will barley stay idle and some times it starts right up. some times when im driving it will start to bog down and i will loose rpms even if i am accelerating in a low...

Im running very lean, i dont know how lean...but I am. Im eventually going with a supercharger from a Nissan Frontier/Xterra. Ive already upgraded the throttle body to a 66mm, and bigger MAF housing, and CAI. So if I dont do anything about the fuel system now, im looking for trouble. As of...

hi there does anybody know how to remove the fuel door on an 08 ford explorer im going to replace with a chrome fuel door thanks

I love cars... but I hate working on them. It's not even so much that I don't like working on them it's that I don't know what I'm doing and I'm clumsy and oafy and just not good at working in tight spots. That being said... I work for a living and cant' afford to always send my truck to...

Like I said, 2001 XLS with 4.0 SOHC, the CEL has been on for a couple weeks, and a local shop told me I needed a new pulse damper and #6 injector, so I replaced them both and now the truck runs even worse. There is fuel leaking out of the port on the fuel rail, and I don't have any idea where to...
