I had the same problem with My 1990 F150 300 6cylinder 4x4.....I cahnged all the same things you did, finally I sprayed a can of Gumout through the throttle body and it worked and ran great. Now I add fuel injector cleaner to the gas and a regular clean with the gumout and the problem has'nt come back. Good Luck to you and hope it works!

SOURCE: I don't here the fuel pump ever kick on in my 1990 Ford F150, and I tested all of the fuses and they are good. I was thinking the relay for the fuel pump might be bad -- any suggestions?

It's under your hood, in one of those boxes, and should be marked. Your pump won't cut in if it's fried either. Check to see if there is power at the pump. Maybe you just have a loose wire. You can always hope!

SOURCE: '88 f150 will not start, 0 fuel pressure

I know the ford cars had a trip relay for the fuel pump. In the event of a wreck it shuts the fuel pump down and has to be reset manually. I am unsure if the pickups had the same thing.

SOURCE: 1991 ford f-150 fuel pump will not come on

remember the switch only gets power for 1 second when u turn the key on, the common problem is the ignition starter switch comes apart, it is located at top of the steering column near the bottom, drop the column down (2 nuts) and inspect the switch for separation.

I have no power to the fuel pump and dont know what to check on a 89 Ford bronco ll

Check the fuel pump relay switch. According to a post on the Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums, the fuel pump relay switch is located under the PDB (Power Distribution Box) . You may need to refer to the wiring diagram to locate it. If you don't have one, you can request it from the same post.

Check the fuel pump cutoff switch. This switch is located behind the firewall and is designed to shut off the fuel supply in case of an accident .

Check the fuel rail pressure regulator. If the fuel pump and the fuel cutoff switch are working fine, then the problem might be with the fuel rail pressure regulator. This is a small can mounted inline with the fuel rail with a vacuum hose attached to a hose barb on top of the unit .

Truck will start and then stops just started acting up

Found on a '92 Toyota pickup w/V6, a bad/intermittent fuel pump relay.
Had fuel rail pressure so fooled us initially, found by listening to pump run then quit, cycle key and pump would run again then quit, sometimes when trying to start, motor would start and run for a few seconds then quit, or not start at all, this created by intermittent relay operation. Need two people, one at passenger side by tank and other to work ignition switch.
Relay located behind right, passenger kick panel, dealer item I believe about $28.00.
Just another possibility.

No exceleration now truck wont start

Fuel pump relay, turning the ignition on runs the fuel pump for about two seconds to pressure the fuel rail to start, then the fuel pump relay takes over once engine is started, it relies on a signal from the ignition or ECU (to say keep running). Either the relay has gone down or the relay has lost the signal. Don't bypass the relay, it's a safety feature, to stop the fuel pump if a fuel line ruptures.

Where is the fule pressure sensor on 1998 lincoln continental

I'm not aware of a fuel pressure sensor, you have a fuel pump relay and inertia switch that powers the pump, and a fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail. If there is a fuel pressure sensor, I would think it would be on the fuel rail with the injectors.
Have you replaced the fuel filter and checked the fuel pressure with a gauge ?

Car died in front of house, would crank, but not start...fuel pump has been buzzing for a while so i assumed it went out, replaced pump & filter, sadly cant get it to start. checked all fuses, relays...

No pressure at fuel rail either mean a clog in the fuel lines or filter...or a failed or incorrectly installed pump. If you have voltage at the pump when you are cranking the engine over recheck pump and fuel filter. also try applying shop are to the fuel lines when disconnecting at pump and fuel rail to clear any clogs.

I have no fuel pressure to the pressure test valve on the fuel rail. I am thinking it is the fuel pump but perhaps I am wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

There is a safety cutoff switch called an Inertia switch. It can be located in the trunk area or behind one of the front kick panels. This switch can sometimes trip when a door or trunklid is closed. There is a reset button on it and you just push and hold the button for a second or two and it is reset.

When you turn your key to the Run position you should hear the fuel pump run briefly to pressure up the system. It will only run a few seconds as that is all it needs for the pressure. There is also a Relay in one of the Black boxes and one is for the fuel pump. This Relay also needs the Inertia switch to work before the power gets to the pump. Finally you may find a fuse for the pump in the fuseblock under the dash. Your Owners Manual should describe each location.,

Ive got a 1997 cavalier it will start but quickly dies out ive got fire to my plugs and fuel to the injectures ive just replaced the ignition switch is there somkind of a security

You need a new fuel pump relay. The engine fires up and runs off the oil pressure switch untill the oil pressure PSI is reached at normal operating conditions. When the oil pressure reaches its operating PSI the PCM or engines computer will shut off that circuit and turns on the fuel pump relay to run the fuel pump untill you shut the engine off

1998 gmc 2500 sle 5.7 wont stay running

Theres only one fuel pump relay, unless you have dual tanks. Be sure you have 55-60 psi fuel pressure. I "think" the oil pressure switch supplies power to the fuel pump after the engine is running.

I have a 1995 Dodge Neon with a 1999 motor in it. Recently it has had some issues starting. All I would have to do is just switch the relays (usually horn to fuel pump and vice versa) and it would start....

If switching relays got the car started for you before, maybe you had a relay that was sticking. Check the fuel pump relay & the ASD (Automatic Shutdown) relay. Either relay will keep the fuel pump from working. Listen for the fuel pump when you turn the key on. It should run for a few seconds & then stop.
