Question
I have replaced the fuel pump and it still doesn't start. the only time it will start is if i put gasonline in the engine myself. i have also replaced the fuse box 2 days ago and then the fuel pump today and it still doen't seem to want to start. So what else could be the issue

Visitor, September 10, 2010, 18:55have you tried to replace the fuel filter? simple replacement, located underneath the rear passenger door UNDER the car. you will need a flathead screwdriver to remove the clamp. That SOUNDS like your problem from your description. always start with the filter before you start replacing 275 dollar pumps. if the pump is engaging, you can hear it under the car if you listen during the first 3 seconds that the key is in the run position.

A quick fix, however, is to unhook the battery and leave the car sitting for 5-10 min and then try cranking it again. My Lincoln Continental has the same problem and this always fixes it.
