    Won’t restart after sitting for 30 minutes

    I had a similar problem awhile back. Truck would start cold. If ran until warmed up, would crank back up if immediately cranked after shutting off. But if you let it sit for about 30 or so minutes, would not crank until truck completely cooled back off. I thought was injector pump, did cool...

    A light in the dash I didn't know I had came on today

    I agree.. change fuel filter. If that doesn’t work, and your fuel filter light starts coming on at idle when you aren’t pressing on pedal..do yourself a favor and have a lift pump sitting by.

    New Problem

    I am going to do my best to explain this new issue. Today while driving my truck seemed to drastically loose power, then it would immediately return. Tach would drop, then rise. For lack of better terms, maybe surge? Crazy thing was, at idle the tach would drop to near zero..but the engine...

Let sit for 30 minutes to an hour…and would not crank like it had weak batteries. Thought it was injector pump going out. Turned out starter was weak...

    All, thank you for all the reply’s and help. I thought I would follow back up and let everyone know how things turned out. I tried the cool water test over the injection pump with no result. Which made me wonder if it was the pump giving me the problem. So, I ended up putting a Powermaster...

    Fuel Leak at Lift Pump

    Thanks guys for the help. IDIBronco, I don’t believe I cross threaded the nut. When I discovered leak I snugged it up a bit just to make sure it was tight enough, and it still leaked. I might try to unthread it and reattach it later this afternoon just to make sure it is attached correctly.

Installed the new pump…now I have a fuel leak at the connector to the lift pump. Are the fuel connector lines from the filter to...

    Another lift pump lets me down.

    My lift pump recently failed. I put in a Carter which seems to be doing ok. I was able to purchase an actual Ford pump as well from https://parts.lakelandford.com/testimonials.aspx If the Carter gives trouble, I have the Ford on standby.
