My 2008 F150 turns over very fast but it won't start! Any ideas?

 

The first thing i would check is the fuel shut off switch located by the kick panel on the right front side of the cab it may need to be reset. If that doesnt work check the fuel pump fuse.

 

try a different key, sounds like the Patts system has dissabled the ign

 

I know this may SOUND like a stupid question (there are no really stupid questions, that's how we learn) , but you don't hold the throttle to the floor do you? I noticed you have an '08 and some people that are used to an older vehicle are used to holding the throttle to the floor (as in clearing a flooded condition) and you can't do that on these trucks- (it disables the injectors- hence- no fuel and no start). A fuel injected engine shouldn't ever get flooded ( you don't touch the throttle to start 'em), but if it does they have made the provision for clearing them of fuel by disabling the injectors at full throttle (when not running). I realize this probably isn't your problem, but you never know unless you ask.

 

I know this might sound stupid but being an '08, why dont you just cal the dealer and have it fixed under warranty?

 

Actually, the problem was a blown fuse. I checked it three times before I could tell it was blown! Damn, I hate these small fusses! I wish Ford would use the old large ones! At least it was easy to tell they were blown!
