truck died

[Cov man]

Its been hard to start for about a year...we tried about everything and finally narrowed it down (I think) to the fuel pump. From searching I see others had this problem and still managed to keep the truck on the road, which is what I did but finally it just stopped idling today. I hope fuller ford in cincinnati can fix it!

:welcome: Scan for trouble codes before spending money. Did you check the inertia switch?

 

[Scott Tanner]

check the inertia swtich, and fuses, plus the fuel pump relay under the hood.. my trac has an intermentent FP issue due to the relay socket being loose.

I would also suggest the Inertia switch. Been there, done that. lol!!

thanks....so hitting the switch and pushing the red button might make this problem go away? I already had this towed to a dealer.

I had to replace my inertia switch. It would reset for a little while after pressing the button and then trip again. Replacing my switch resolved the problem.

Dealer claimed it was a huge vacuum leak, had to take off the valve cover to get to it. I got it back and its almost fine and while at the dealer I had remote start installed but sometimes it takes two tries to get it to start...

You have kept up with fuel filter changes, right?
