![]() This problem may relate to KobraLx's problem.
I have an 89 lx 5.0, with only 16 thousand miles on it, show car mostly. Anyway, over the summer I was driving it and after 15 miles of fun it shut down, instantly, just like turning off the key while driving. I looked at everything I could think of, which may not be that much, and I came to the conclusion that it was the fuel pump. My reasoning for this was becasue I could not hear the fuel pump pressurize the system when you first turn the key, before you actually turn the key further to start the car. To further confuse the situation, I get the darn thing home via a rollback and the next day she starts right up. So I drained the tank and put in a brand new ford pump along with a new filter. Problem solved right...wrong. This past weekend the car did the same thing, but I also could not hear the pump, just like last time. By the time the rollback came to get me the car started up, in fact, I drove it on and off the rollback. I have no idea where to start with this problem, it isn't like the car has a ton of miles on it, it is barely over 16k. My father had the idea that maybe it could be a short in the wiring, but I am not sure about that, for one, with so few miles how could the car develop a short? Anyway, you guys & girls can lay it on me, I need all the help I can get. Thank you. |
