fuel pump?

[bko4x4er]

i have a question. see my truck will start fine either after it has just been turned off then started right uop again or after it has been sitting for a while. but if i try to start it in bettween when it is still warm, it hesitates and takes a few seconds to crank up. do you think it might be the ful pump? it has 254,000 miles i doubt its ever been changed.

put a fuel pressure guage on it so there is no guessing when you start buying parts.

Does your check engine light come on?

Try this. Turn your key on, count to three, and then try to start it. Let us know if that helps.

yes i do wait for the fuel pump to click. i dont just try to hurry up and start it. and yes the check engine light comes on but only for a second then it turns off. but then comes back on when i get a mile down the road.

Here is a short tutorial I wrote that will teach you how to pull codes.

The tutorial starts at post #4

All you need is a little 4 inch piece of wire and the ability to count to ten.

The only problem with pulling codes and then fixing your truck is that you will probably loose the ability to brag about only getting 6-7 MPG.

Can you open an adobe acrobat pdf file?

If so, within the codes page you read in post number 12 there is a link to a manual for the actron code reader. There are many pages of codes in there.

Sometimes the discriptions of the meanings of the codes are a little different from one source or another.

Another source is www.fordfuelinjection.com

Yet another is miesk5's page

http://www.broncolinks.com/index.php?index=23

The first step is to get your codes.

Second would be to look them up at one or more of the sources listed above, and third let us know what you discovered, especially if the answer is not clear.

good luck
