Hey all,
I'm having problems with my 2001 V6 Mustang. The car wont start. The car cranks up perfectly fine, it just doesn't catch. The battery is fully charged. I checked for spark via pulling off one of the boots and putting a screwdriver in the boot with my elbow to the negative battery terminal while my dad tried to start the car--there's definately spark...I got a couple of good shocks.
This is leading me to believe that I might have a clogged fuel filter or god forbid I may need to replace my fuel pump
Ive never replaced the fuel filter and the fuel pump. How do you depressurize the fuel lines? Where should I look? I can't simply depressurize by starting the car and pulling the fuse b/c it wont start to begin with. Is there a relief valve or nipple? I'm hoping that its just a filter because I can hear my fuel pump priming. Also, if I need to replace the fuel filter, should the new filter come with new washers for the banjo bolts? If they don't what size washers should I be looking for?
Please help another fellow Mustang owner out.
Thanks,
Matt
