Ford Taurus shutting off issue with second fuel pump replacement in six months on Ford Taurus
Problem overview
Some Ford Taurus owners report experiencing issues with their vehicles shutting off even after replacing the fuel pump multiple times. These problems may stem from a variety of factors, including potential failures of the fuel system pump itself, which can lead to insufficient fuel pressure and cause the engine to starve for fuel. Additionally, some owners have noted a whining noise from the fuel pump, indicating it may be failing, as well as difficulty starting the car after several attempts to activate the fuel pump. Issues with the gas tank filler neck can also impede fuel flow, resulting in backup and subsequent pump shutdown. Furthermore, fluctuations in fuel pressure and inaccurate fuel gauge readings may contribute to the vehicle shutting off prematurely. To address these recurring issues, it is recommended that owners seek a thorough inspection of the fuel system, including the fuel pump and related components.
