Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / January 20081987 ford f-150 6cyl 300 - Quit running
the truck just quit like it ran out of gas. started burbling, kept it going for 30sec by pressing the accelerator more. then it quit and will not start. the truck has two tanks and has gas. could it be the fuel pump? where is the fuel pump on this beast? thanks On Jan 9, 1:09 pm, nglg...@gmail.com wrote: > the truck just quit like it ran out of gas. started burbling, kept it > going for 30sec by pressing the accelerator more. then it quit and [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > thanks Your beast has 3 fuel pumps. One low pressure in each tank and a high pressure on the frame below the brake master cylinder. Could be fuel pump but could be a host of other things too. Cna you hear the pumps run for a couple of seconds when you turn the key on. you should hear the in tank pump on whatever tank you are on as well as the high pressure pomp up front. If not it could be a fusible link, fuel pump relay, broken wire and on and on and on. Was it runnung fine before it shot craps? Chris Definitely check the fuel pump cut-off switch (usually located near passenger's right foot under carpet or sidewall cover) if you can't hear fuel pump. Designed to shut off fuel pump in event of a crash. Might have been tripped.
