I looked in the maintenance log book and it looks like the fuel pump was replaced around 3K under warranty. No wonder Ford is such a trouble, how can they make money with such a crazy warranty costs? The irony is that I had a 60,000 mile extended warranty on this car, and under warranty the dealer (I suspect they were ripping Ford and myself- I had to pay the deductible- ) had changed so many parts on this car, from fuel pump, water pump, steering pump, heater core, etc even the molding in the car. I guess as the economists say it is all sunk cost, beyond this point I am not sure what else is going to go. I really would like to keep the car for another year or two (with the economy being the way it is and uncertainty with jobs etc) but, the it looks like the repairs are getting to be more than the value of the car (I believe it is worth only about 2 to 3 k at most). I am guessing this is about 2 hrs of labor (dealership rate), so assuming I go with the Autozone pump, I am out another $350 to get the pump replaced.īoy this car is tiring me out (not to mention draining my wallet), this year alone I spend $900 (outer tie rods, ball joints, alignment etc) once and $800 another time (inner tie rods, leaking breaks, warped breaks, etc), and can not quite remember but I think it was like $200-$300 to replace the alternator and now another $350-$400 for fuel pump. I called Ford dealership parts, a new fuel pump is $300, called Autozone, they gave me a quote for $190.
#99 FORD TAURUS FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS FULL#
Once the gas level is at just below full the problem completely disappears and engine runs fine.Īny advise will be greatly appreciated it.
I am wondering if there is an issue with gas pump or whatever mechanism that creates the vacuum to suck gas into engine for the initial engine startup.Īnother very strange issue that might be related to gas pump is, if the gas tank is over filled (way over the full) then every so often the engine will start cutting off (hesitating and as a result jerking) like for a second or two and then it is runs fine. It seems that being idle for over a long time (such as over night) causes the issue. Even after shutting it off for several hours, it has no problem starting up. After that the engine runs very smoothly the whole day. over night) when trying to start, the starter motor cranks nicely but engine will not start, pumping the gas pedal several times finally gets the car going. For the last week or so, when the car sits idle for a long time (e.g.
