" turning the ignition to ON and letting the fuel pump pressurize the system for 5 or 10 seconds before cranking it? " and it seemed like it worked but I need to test it more.
Also the Ford dealer service manager is the one who last told me to use premium instead of regular. Not that I am suggesting he was entirely trustworthy - he wanted to replace the whole system!
Now it's time to replace the pinion seal in the rear end. Anybody tackle that one with a minimum of tools and rear end experience?? Not too sure about the crush collar and all the other goodies supposedly inside.
Any other ideas? thanks
That's when "deflection of guages" set in. No movement. Then a couple days later, no 2 whirls a second apart, no constant whirl before starting, and of course no idle or fuel trim anymore. I retrained it once but it seemed to go out again. Any ideas on how to regain that constant feed from the fuel pump, and retrim idle and fuel. ( Transmission recalibration) Not the 1st truck this has happened to. Hope it's not an tuner tool problem, if so which one!
I paid to have it looked at, they replaced the plugs, #2 coil, and a tune up and did not get the problem fixed, for 750 bucks!

But I've tried the relays, replaced the fuel filter, and now I'm going to check the wires going into it because that was a suggestion made by an ex-Ford mechanic.
Does anyone else think maybe Ford is in a dispute with their vendor for nonpayment or contract pricing negotiations????
Does anyone know what not installing the top shield could do? I don't want to take it if it's a safety risk but I also don't want to have to wait until Sept. We're pushing them for a replacement/loaner vehicle so that we can wait for the correct part but I'm not expecting any results with that.
Some of you mentioned contacting the Ford Corporate office, if you have that info, I'd appreciate it. And, I'm going to send a letter to the WA state AG office because this is ridiculous!! But sadly, I don't expect any of these things to fix the problem. Any ideas? I'm contemplating my attorney as another next step... class action lawsuit???
But I can drive my car and the dealer is a rip-off. So just keep trying. Good luck!
I did receive a letter from the atttorney general's office which stated that they had received my complaint and they are checking into it. Ford did contact me concerning this complaint - asked the vin and dealer that my vehicle is at. They did contact the dealership and told them that it would be sometime in sept. before the part would be available.
I do feel that everyone who is without a vehicle because of this fuel pump should file a complaint with the attorney general office so that they see how many people are being affected by this and realize that ford is not doing anything about it.
As I stated before I do not want to file a class action, however, ford motor company is giving it's customers no other option. I just really can not believe they are not willing to provide customer service. All I receive is "I am sorry that this is an inconvenience for you". If I lived in a large city where I could ride the bus or walk or something it maybe wouldn't be such an inconvenience, but I live seven miles from the nearest town and I work 45 miles away. I have been driving our dually farm truck and my parent's vehicle for the past 7 weeks and now I am suppose to be okay with this for another 5 weeks minimum - I don't think so.
I have been keeping all of the correspondence to and from ford over this issue and this morning I contacted the channel 9 news in Kansas city - problem solvers to see if they will put this problem on the air.
If you have not sent in a complaint to your state's attorney general office, you need to do so. Also, constantly call and email for customer service. Last week (Friday) I asked to speak with a supervisor over this issue, which is the person who contacted me this morning. No, I'm, not getting anywhere with them but maybe if we inundate them with emails and phone calls - I called them four times last week - they will start to do something about this.
We can not just sit around and wait for them (ford) to finally ship the pump. I understand that if there is a problem with this pump then it should not be shipped out, however, ford motor company should provide another means of transportation to those whose vehicle is down because of this pump.
Please, please, please if you are having this same problem with your expedition then start complaining because no one knows and nothing will get done if you don't start calling and emailing.
Ford motor company had called the dealership where my expedition is located and told them to just put the part on and quit delaying. The dealership indicated that they would be more than happy to if they had the part. The person at ford motor company then stated that she could get the part and that she would be in contact with them so the part's man at the dealership gave her the part #. That was 1 1/2 weeks ago and she has not contacted the dealership back yet. That's because the part is not available.
