Some Ford F-150 owners report experiencing starting issues after running out of power, even when the fuel pump appears operational but is not delivering gas. These problems may stem from loose or dirty battery connections that prevent the starter from turning over. Additionally, some owners find that clogged fuel filters or issues within the fuel system can hinder fuel flow to the engine. Ignition system failures, such as worn spark plugs or faulty ignition coils, are also reported as potential causes for the engine not starting. Furthermore, a faulty fuel pump, despite seeming operational, is frequently cited as a common issue. Lastly, a blown or melted fuel pump fuse can lead to cranking without starting, prompting owners to inspect the fuse in the battery junction box. If these checks do not resolve the issue, consulting a mechanic for further diagnosis is advisable.
