WONT START

Surprise, the part came in today instead of tomorrow! throwing it in here shortly and will post an update.

Are you sure you didn't put diesel fuel in it?

dgt_mustang · February 1st, 2012, 06:55 PM

^I'm going to disregard that...

***Update***

CCRM has been replaced.
Fuel Filter has been replaced.
check for spark and i have it on both sides of the coil pack, not all the plugs.

No change. however when i took the spark plug wire off to check for spark it cranked up and ran for a few seconds before i turned it off. I could not duplicate this so im assuming it was just fumes somehow. I'm stuck...my gf keeps saying to change the plugs but there is clearly a code that says fuel pump area. only thing left to do that i can see is replace the fuel pump.

I found my Fuel Pump Driver Module. Part number XR3F-9D372-AE. I'm mainly posting this here so that when i go to work in the morning i can refer back to this since it has all my information. code and now the part number.

I'm about to get on the main road when i think to myself it will be better to go the back way, no traffic. i turn the car around and right when i do It Dies.

I get it towed back to my house and am going to try a few things tomorrow.

Heres what i think.
Bad gas - pumping out the tank, relieve the fuel in the lines via the front fuel rail, changing the fuel filter, adding premium gas and a fuel injector cleaner and then will start it.

your opinions?

This sounds like one of two things. 1. very bad gas (I suggested maybe somehow it was diesel not gas). 2. the fuel pump failed due to low fuel level.

The chance that it isn't somehow related to just filling up the gas tank is very small.

I was thinking bad gas because of the circumstances but it does have a code for either fuel pump, or fuel pump driver module. I am purchasing the fuel pump driver module from a member on here and go from there.

Check fuel pressure with a gauge?

Replaced the fuel pump driver module its still a no start. It cranked up after the install and ran up till i touched the gas pedal then died, it is now doing the same thing again. Only thing left to try and change is the fuel pump...what are your takes? keep in mind it has a P1237 code.

I would drop the gas tank and drain it and clean it out then replace the fuel pump and put in new gas from a different gas station. Likely contaminated fuel damaged the fuel pump.

Save the removed gasoline and if the new fuel pump and new gas fixes it have the old gasoline checked out by a lab to determine if you have cause for legal action.

My car is fixed!!!! its sounds beautiful, i just wanted to put a resolution on my thread.

it also irritated me when i searched and searched for my car problems that everytime i came across something that sounded similiar the thread that i was reading just suddenly died off so there it is, one of the first threads that i know of thats shows the problem from the beginning, to the steps, to the end. SO HAPPY.

SlowSix · February 10th, 2012, 09:41 PM

Mach Stang · February 11th, 2012, 01:13 AM

Lol I'm guessing fuel pump was bad.
