    the starter cranks the engine, but the engine will not start. I accessed the fuel pump and it was not turning on. I checked the voltage to the fuel pump and found it to be 9.8v.

Yes 9.8 volts is normal but why not look at the starter.

HI, i would check the fuse. it could be almost cooked and half able at this point. I would also check the fuel pump relays voltage as well. if the voltage at the relay is the same, the ground may be corroded or broken.

In this case, pull the connector apart and look for corrosion(green goo) and clean it with electrical contact cleaner. If none found, check continuity of the ground wire.

If the ground is ok, replace the pump.

    The voltage should be 12 volts and, 9.8 is a bit low....

2001 ford f150 v8 had problems with intermittent engine shutdown. After letting it sit for half to hour half it would start up. Replaced the fuel and pcm relays, the fuel filter and the fuel pump.
Replaced the fuel and pcm relays, the fuel filter and the fuel pump.????? Your guessing not testing . Did you do fuel pump pressure an flow testing before replacing those parts . How about fuel pump voltage drop testing ?


Testing Electric Fuel Pump Problems with Voltage Drop Test

Besides it doesn't sound like a fuel pump problem ,sounds like electrical problem or electronic problem . What's missing after it shuts down ? Spark or fuel . Testing an not guessing is the key to finding the problem . Hooking up a factory or professional type scan tool to view engine sensor data parameters an checking to factory spes.

Make sure the battery has a full charge.

Are you missing anything besides fuel? Engine cranking visually check for spark at the spark plugs. Also, check for fuel injector pulse. If your missing everything, check for an rpm signal.

With the spider fuel system, start-up fuel pressure can be critical, around 60--66 psi. At the fuel pump connector, engine cranking, gray wire is voltage, black is ground. If good voltage and ground with no fuel pump action, have to suspect the fuel pump.

sounds like you already found the problem,. the fuel pump. To be sure, get in touch with your local dealer and ask the parts dept if they can tell you which fuse #9 powers up. You may want to check the fuel filter also...

MY CAR WONT START FOUND FUEL PUMP RELAY NOT WORKING REPLACE WITH ANOTHER CAR STARTED THEN STOPED I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE BEFORE I REPLACE FUEL PUMP
How long did it stay running? I have worked on a dodge but a 1999 model which started but dies right away, I found out that the exhaust was block by corrotion. The vehicle had been used to dock boats which is the reason why. before you change the pump, unplug the connectors to the pump and make sure it is getting voltage. It should have voltage when you first turn the ignition switch on. Computer usually turn the fuel pump relay off if the car is not cranked or the car do not start.

1992 bravada,cranks-no start, missing fuel pump
You can try to test the relay for function by swapping it with a known good working relay. If this does not work, you can put a jumper between the terminals that energize the pump (relay removed, ignition off). (On the Bosch Jetronic systems I used to work on, the pump would energize even with the ignition off). If there is still no sound, briefly turn the ignition on, and listen for the pump to energize. If you heard nothing, assume the pump is defective. I found most fuel pump problems and failures to occur in vehicles with 125,000 to 175,000 miles of use.

You may also try to check the Hall effect sensor ( a magnetic pulse detector that controls both spark and fuel flow) located within the distributor body (where the spark-plug wires attach to the distributor.

And finally, if that is good, check the ignition module within the distributor. It's a sealed transistorized circuit bolted to the inside of the distributor body with 5mm bolts.

LOW VOLTAGE ON A FEW WIRES WILL NOT RUN
Many wires on most autos will have low voltage around 5 volts is common for wires going to most sensors. What you described with the fuel pump sounds normal for this truck. I would guess the fuel pump is not your problem cant say for shore with out any more info. I am unclear as to what the symptoms are, is the truck not starting. What led you to check the fuel pump. Did you check for spark.
