meone help me PLEASE	Sign In

I have a 1986 F150 with a 302 EFI with duel tanks, while driving it down the highway the truck quit and now wont start. It will roll over but no start, when I turn the key I dont hear the fuel pump kick in. I checked the wire to the High Pres. pump (on the frame) and I only have 0.01 volts. Can anyone help me to figure out the problem, not even sure where to look; I tried reseting the fule pump shut-off switch, but that never worked. I have lots of power to the solinoid. Help me if you can please/

Hmmm? Doesn't this have a fuel pump in each tank? Can't you just switch to the other one for now. Not sure but it may share just one fuel filter,

Could be and probably is me but I think each tank has its own pump and no other involved or shared. No matter - you are reading nothing for voltage and just in general for Fords of the 80s and 90s relays are common to just up and quit like that.

I just plain admit I don't know the trucks that well. Relay for fuel pump(s) is likely underhood and has a green connector if that helps and it's probably not marked otherwise.

Sometimes in a jam you can just whack them with the plastic of a screwdriver and they snap to till you get another one if that trick works,

The dual tanks do have separate pumps in the tanks themselves. They share one fuel filter. My front tank pump stopped working ( all evidence points to the pump) and I simply switched to the back tank for all use. I have filled the front tank and used it as spare; only problem is I have to siphon to transfer from tank to tank.

Would fix the front pump except need to drop tank to get at pump.
