Had an issue the other day (during 100+ degree temps) that I went out to the Explorer and it would not start. Cranked not issue, but it seemed that no gas was getting to engine.
Listened for the fuel pump noise/priming when turning the key to position 1 and didn't hear that.
Had it towed to the shop and they report truck started no issues.
Could fuel pump being going bad and intermittently stop working? I have never had this issue before. Truck has 205,000 now.
The gas gauge doesn't work and I've read that is also related to the fuel pump assembly somehow.
Looking to have this fixed so the no start condition doesn't repeat in less than ideal circumstances. Also would like the gas gauge to work again.
They have quoted me $167.40 for the fuel pump assembly part but I am thinking it might be better to buy that on my own.
Any recommendations on what I will need to replace the fuel pump (if that is what is needed) and correct the gas gauge issue at the same time?
Thanks
