I have a question about my 06 Ford Escape the fuel pump does not seem to be working it doesn't make any noise when I turn the key I checked the voltage do the fuel pump and it is around 12 volts can I assume the wiring is okay as I am getting good voltage choose a fuel pump the car is not starting as it does not get any fuel

    I have a 2006 Ford Escape. I put a fuel pump in thinking I had the problem fixed. Come to find out that was not the problem. After watching this video and having a better understanding of the fuel system, I felt a lot more confident about replacing the fuel pump control module. Thanks for the video it was a great help. After replacing the part my Escape fired rite up.

    02 Mazda Tribute just up and quit while warming up last week and wouldn't start back up. I have replaced the fuel pump twice and checked everything fuel related as well as electrical except this part because I've never heard of it and it was never suggested and all the research that I have done over the last 5 days... I was getting at my wits end to say the least! I can't believe I didn't even see it as much as I've been looking at every possible scenario and it's just up in there where most people would miss it! Needless to say I'm hopeful this IS the issue ...I replaced my crankshaft and camshaft censors and was now fixing to replace all the connectors albeit a new wire harness! I'm really grateful that I found this video by happenstance because I don't know what I would have done new connections if so.. I stopped taking the cars to auto shops since as the old saying goes if you want something done right...I'm done with going that route just to end up throwing money away!!! I will definitely update to let you know that was my issue all along sure sounds like this could be the best explanation...🤞😬

    2010 Ford escape here. For about 2 years... it's had an issue where it sometimes just cuts-off completely. About three times over the course of the last year.... the engine has just cut-off while stopped at a red light or stop-sign.
    But it usually still runs "like normal." It has also has issues trying to start the first time after fueling up at a gas station. And I guess you could describe the idle as a bit "rough." Those are the symptoms.
    I'm not sure if this is fuel pump, fuel module, or something else. All I know is Ford quoted me over $1000 to replace the fuelpump, but I'd hate to pay that if that's not even the actual issue.

    • @sharpcarco
      @sharpcarco  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The evaporator system is not releasing fuel vapors correctly. Can’t really tell you how to fix it, but it’s a common problem through all manufacturers.

  • @Darnetheous
    @Darnetheous 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Loved this video, I think this is the part I need and installing tomorrow. Only note I have is the inertia switch/fuel reset switch. Most Fords have had them since the 90s. I'm working on an '08 so the pump is a bit different but I've replaced it. Pump runs intermittent, cranks but won't start without fluid, rough idle, stalls out after a few minutes or when you give it gas. Don't think its the regulator, easy to replace though. Again awesome video and thanks for posting.

    Had/Have an 04 escape that ran as well as an escape can run with right over 240k miles. A few years ago I parked it behind the garage, jumped in my sisters car and gave her a ride to buy a new vehicle, and in doing so I got to just keep her old one 🤙 Well as of a couple days ago a friend’s vehicle broke down and he was looking for something dirt cheap to buy as it would only be temporary.. So I told him about this escape I literally parked 3 or so years ago and need to scrap while prices are up, or sell it to him for half the cost of the new 3 years ago tires that were on it lol. So I told him $300 and it’s all yours bud. For sure it’s needs a battery and we might wanna drain some fuel depending how much it’s got in it.. So a new battery goes in, fuel tank shows dam near empty which makes sense as I knew my days driving it were numbered.. Checked all fluids and wires/connections we could see (mice suck) everything check out good. Roll the key over to run, let the gauges bounce and do their thing.. Attempt to start. Turns but no fire. Roll the key a few times to prime lines, attempt to start and still nothin. Fuel pump is not turning on, all fuses are good, relay seems to be temperamental as it clicks sometimes and others it won’t. Swap with the one next to it and like the other most times it does the same thing. I guess now I’ll try smacking the tank bottom; and test or most likely replace this module.. Thanks for the detailed vid!

    • @sharpcarco
      @sharpcarco  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No problem but if you wanna make sure it’s the fuel pump just spray some ether or brake cleaner inside the intake make sure it fires up and after it runs for a couple moments that your pump may start working just a thought since it’s been sitting luckily that your pump is easy to change if it Hass to be changed it’s just underneath the seat

  • @miker5280
    @miker5280 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Great video...extremely informative. I have a '98 Lincoln Continental that experiences a periodic crank no start. I found that sometimes when turning the key to the 'ON' position, there is no initializing of the fuel pump ( in other words, I can't hear the fuel pump prime for 2 seconds ). Also, there are times after starting the vehicle that the engine has a rough idle...usually, returning to normal after about a minute of run time. Could this be a faulty fuel pump driver module? Could the fuel pump be failing, or maybe a faulty inertia switch? I'd appreciate any opinions & information that you could offer. Thanks...it's much appreciated!

    Easy way to test this control module is to just unplug it and see if the vehicle starts. It will start but will quit when you step on the gas. May have to spray starting fluid as he shows to get it to start. Will idle.

    • @sharpcarco
      @sharpcarco  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would think it’s possible the ring on the top of the fuel pump is leaking so all you would have to do is pull up the backseat right there and take the cover off when you fill it up and if you see gas coming out there and it’s the seal around the fuel pump should be pretty easy to figure out

So far everytime I drive it, My 2005 Escape will run ok for about 15 minutes then starts missing or sputtering and quickly stalls for a second then fires back up.. and keeps going then does that again. intermittently....sometime if I'm going slow speed it just stalls out completely and I have to start it again. I'm afraid it is gonna stall out and leave me stranded. Could this be the control module? Sometimes it just cranks with no start.

    • @sharpcarco
      @sharpcarco  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well that’s easy to tell Darrell if you listen by the fuel pump you will hear it cutting in and out if this was the problem but more than likely you may have a different issue so I would recommend having it scanned because you could have a EGR that is not flowing properly or possibly a vacuum leak of some sort so I wouldn’t narrow it down to that right yet

I ve a hip replacement a polio virus since childhood and other big issues of health. The car is giving me hard time since 2020
    All of sudden it blew fuse 8 ( a pink 30 amp 32 volt for PCM in engine compartment) first few days we could not figure out why all of a sudden the engine died all the lights turns on but when try to start no sound no click .my friend is a mechanic but he couldn't find any solution then a machanic who works on street came change the wire coming from crank sensor (he thought the wire is broken and replaced it ) change the fuse 8 and car started .two days it ran fine and blew the fuse again.bought new but after 3 days that was too gone I was in the middle of nowhere swipe the next fuse ( green one 40amp for wipers ) and car started came home but after two days again blew .I went to advance auto parts to get a new fuse some how this time I find a 30 amp pink cartage fuse but this time it was different from inside it had a resistor .I put that and I did work for few months. Now since it's very hot .again vehicle has started again blowing fuse
    Today my machanic friend again change the same crank sensor wire .but during this blew 3 more new fuses ( each cartage fuse cost -$6:50 ) car started move but again jerk .I knew it's gonna blew the fuse again so I pulled it on side street of gas station and workshop
    Took the bus and come back home .I think there is a short wire somewhere and only an electrician can find out the problem.

    Car starts fine cold.. After hot soak car refuses to start. If you wait an hour it starts back up fine. First time replaced fuel pump and it has been fine for 3 years. Now it is doing the same again. Guess it is time for another fuel pump.

      Well, before I did that, I would check the fuel pressure module like I described in this video, and the catalytic converter’s fuel pumps are not known to go out of these things. Of course, it’s very possible but I’ve several Ford escapes that came into the shop with new fuel pumps, and that wasn’t the problem so they wasted your money before they brought them to me

      He had the fuel pump replaced about 8 months ago but due to the covid-19, the car was parked for months. He towed the car to the mechanic. The mechanic recharged the hybrid battery. Both batteries are good. Mechanic suggested fuel pump issue as the reason for car not starting. Mechanic did not do any diagnostic work on fuel pump because owner did not have money to do additional diagnostic work. Owner wants to get the car to start so he can take it to his house or to another mechanic. Can he temporarily get the car to start? If yes, how? Thank u

      I don’t know where you got that I was adding fuel injection fluid to the gas tank I was spraying it in the intake…… which will start the car if it is not receiving fuel from the fuel pump.
      Hitting the bottom of the gas tank makes a worn out fuel pump brushes contact the armature of the sending unit making the sending unit come on. I would feel like I certainly explained this in the video.
      Hope that helps

      @Highabove01 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Clay, thank you very much for the info. I think there is not enough battery charge to get the car to crank enough. When the ignition is turned on, the lights come on and the battery gage is in the center. Is that the ideal location for the battery gage? He is also using a jump. cable & charging from another car to help the smaller battery under the hood so it does not die. He pushed the charging button next to the driver door. After about 8 min of charging, the charging button started to flash. He turned the ignition on but the crank was weak and only lasted for 2-3 seconds. My question is how can he get the hybrid battery charged enough to allow for the car to crank & hopefully start? Does he need to repeat the recharging process (pushing the button and waiting for 8 min.) then repeating the recharging process without trying to turn the ignition on so the hybrid battery can have enough charge before trying to turn the ignition on? How many times does he have to repeat the recharge (pushing the button cycle)? Please help! Thank you

      Has it ever been any accidents which would’ve damaged wires which would’ve caused this problem?
      What was the last repair you did on it did they caused a problem that is now creating this one.

    ​ @The Clay Way Hi Clay, appreciated the video. BUT my 2003 mazda tribute is currently sitting with the fuel pump out and the mechanic that came to see it said that if it wasn't spitting gas out when he tried to crank, then the fuel pump was bad? is that true, even if the car wont start? should gas still is that a way to tell the pump doesn't work anymore?

    • @sharpcarco
      @sharpcarco  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes you can send 12 V of power and a ground to the pump and see if it spins if it spins more than likely it is good
      I see it that way because if your pumps can run for a couple of moments then not run
      I’m pretty sure this is a video that explains that it has a fuel pump controller that goes defective on these all the time so I would definitely check into that if the pump works when you send power and ground to it .
      If this isn’t the video I have video on that

      No I don’t believe they started putting the fuel pump driver module in them till 2004 I’m not sure why.
      I read your other message it sounds like quite possibly have a bad fuel pump but what you can do is pop open the air filter box and have somebody turn it over and spray a little bit of starting fluid or brake cleaner inside there and if it fires up it’s because your fuel pump is not being turned on so make sure you press your inertia switch . If I remember correctly it is located on the passenger floorboard front near the “A”pillar

    Your power and ground wire you ran to the 2 pump wires should of powered your pump . The driver module cuts the power before the pump , you were bypassing that and putting power to your pump . You can pull the plug on the module jump the ground and power basiclly doing what you did running those wires .Doesn't make sense your wires you ran didn't power that pump.

    02 Mazda Tribute just up and quit while warming up last week and wouldn't start back up. I have replaced the fuel pump twice and checked everything fuel related as well as electrical except this part because I've never heard of it and it was never suggested and all the research that I have done over the last 5 days... I was getting at my wits end to say the least! I can't believe I didn't even see it as much as I've been looking at every possible scenario and it's just up in there where most people would miss it! Needless to say I'm hopeful this IS the issue ...I replaced my crankshaft and camshaft censors and was now fixing to replace all the connectors albeit a new wire harness! I'm really grateful that I found this video by happenstance because I don't know what I would have done new connections if so.. I stopped taking the cars to auto shops since as the old saying goes if you want something done right...I'm done with going that route just to end up throwing money away!!! I will definitely update to let you know that was my issue all along sure sounds like this could be the best explanation...🤞😬
