MAF SensorSo we got a free Leaf to drive so I stored the Bird over the winter with a battery tender. After the first month, I started the car and all was fine. The rest of the winter we had too much going on and I forgot to start it anymore.
Today I took the tender off, got in, and it started up first turn. Backed out into the driveway to let it idle and warm up. It ran for 5 minutes then just quit. I have 3/4 of a tank of gas. It cranks fine but will not run. It doesn't even catch and try to run, it is just endless cranking.
Thoughts, ideas, suggestions?
Could you please give me the part number that o'reilleys sold it under, they keep telling me that it takes two pumps but the schematic shows only one pump. -- ThanksHeres my recommendation. I have done this before and asked ford dealer for estimate. Those clowns wanted $2300 which included parts and labor. I did this myself watching that video in the previous post. I got a lifetime warranty on the pump i bought from o'reillys auto parts which cost only $109. The ford clowns would only give me 1 year warranty on parts and labor. Total time to do this job was 4 hours. The biggest headache is getting the plastic jar lid off. There is minimal to no room at all. I rented the tool to take jar lid from auto zone. I had to hold tool on the lid while my buddy worked the socket wrench. Painful but i got it done. I also learned a lot from this. Engineers could have designed a lid with nuts and bolts but then that would have been too easy. Best of luck to you. Phil
Thank You !
Got it , thanks again !I did not drop tank at all. You do need to be careful with the plastic fuel lines, two
of them. Room is so tight not sure lowering tank would help.
Do not force or bend fuel lines, be easy with them, should be fine.
Press tabs on fuel line connections, lift up on fuel lines just enough to separate
from connector, and move fuel lines off to the side.
It takes two to install new fuel pump, one to hold fuel pump in place, and to
position jar type nut, second person to tighten jar nut.
It's not the battery. He says it cranks but doesnt startYou may need a new battery or did you use stabil or some other fuel stabilization additive?
Excellent, nice job!
Just wondering, is the transfer pump powered?
Thanks
https://forums.fordthunderbirdforum...-after-running-for-5-minutes.5990/#post-36686Hello, it seems that the fuel pump of my Tbird is out of order.
The light flash 16 times on the dashboard? Do you know why ?
