ok I have a 91 ford f-150 and it has dual tanks I went to start it up
one day and I didn't hear the fuel pump kick on when I turned the key,
and engine would rotate but it would not start. 2 days later I tried it
again and the fuel pump kicked on and the truck ran fine and then when
I turned the truck off the problem came back again. I mix and matched
the relays and I made sure the inertia switch wasn't popped, but still
I can't get the fuel pump to kick on. I don't want to replace the pumps
if I don't have to, because when the pump's kick on the truck runs
fine, also I have dual tanks and neither of the pumps work and then
magically it will just kick on and run fine. Does anyone have any idea?
should I replace the inertia switch and get all new relays? any ideas
are welcomed. |

ok I'll check them and make sure they are clean and tight. I'm taking
it the ground is connected to the whole wiring system and no just like
to the chassis. Also if it isn't the ground and it is the pump. do I
replace both pumps or what? >> Stay informed about: fuel system problem |

I replaced the tank and the pump and the fuel filter and I made sure
that all the electrical connectors were in fine condition. I made sure
when I had everything dissconnected that everything was getting power
with a test light. I don't know what is the problem, because the pump
still will not turn on. >> Stay informed about: fuel system problem |

I had the same problem on my '93. Check the switch on the dash, they only
cost about $16. Sure fixed mine (after winding up with a very red face).

Where did you get the switch at? autoparts store or ford dealer? >> Stay informed about: fuel system problem |
