The starter is turning over, and Ford checked the fuel pressure reading and they said it was good. They hooked up the computer and drove it around and could not find a problem.They could have nailed me for a new fuel pump but didnt. I have 205,000 miles on this and my daughter is driving it. thank the Lord I have AAA. They have towed it twice only to have it start when they drop if off.
