i drove to my apartment 3 days ago to turn in my 30 day notice and pay the months rent. went back out to the truck to start it and no luck. the truck turns over, fires up for about 2 seconds and dies. when it starts the rpms go up to about 2000 is all then the truck dies. if i try to give it gas when its started for the 2 seconds it only makes the truck die faster and the rpms dont go up at all when i hit the pedal. i had about 40,000 miles on the fuel filter so i changed it in the parking lot where the truck sits hopeing maybe i wasnt getting enough fuel pressure through a clogged filter. once i changed it out i tried to start it and it just did the same thing as before. when i turn the key forward i can hear the pumps turn on. i left the key forward and popped the hood. i took the cap off of the valve stem on the fuel rail and pressed it down with a screw driver and didnt get any fuel coming out at all, just the sound of air like from a tire was all. i dont have a fuel pressure guage so i dont know what its at. im thinking maybe one of the hoses came off of one of the pumps in the fuel tank maybe. i installed dual 255 pumps about 8 months ago. the first night i had problems i hooked up the predator and got a fuel code. it said something along the lines of #2 fuel circuit high. i cleared the codes, un hooked the battery and hooked it back up. tried re-uploading my tune and starting the truck and it still wont start. now i cant get the code to come back up so i cant write down the exact number that it gave me the first night. my truck has been sitting for 3 days now 30 minutes away from my house and i have been haveing to drive my roomies car back and forth until i can figure out what to do with it. theres only one shop thats big up here on fords and because of that they think they can charge 150% more then everyone else so im not taking it to them, and i dont feel like taking it to a dealer to see whats the problem with it. anyone have any clue as to what it might be causeing me the problems with not wanting to stay running once started????

 

Are you sure you aren't out of fuel?? Just a question not a slam.

i have over half a tank still

 

Fuel line may be frozen....What are the temps

 

I would guess that a line in the tank can off or you are out of gas. I seen you said you have half a tank. Did you just put some in, or are you going by the gauge? Could your gauge be bad and you are out?

 

its been above 40 for the least 3 weeks and supposed to be 50 on friday

 

im definetly not out of gas.. changed the filter and got gas all over my hands and arm and sweatshirt

 

Check relay box in engine compartment. Find the F/P relay and try re seating it in box?

 

is that the box with the pop off lid and two big relays under it? if so i allready did that

 

this is the code i got on the first day... found this on a list on the how-to on SVTP

P0183 - Engine Fuel Temperature Sensor A Circuit High Input (EFT) The comprehensive component monitor (CCM) monitors the EFT sensor circuit to the PCM for high voltage. If voltage were to exceed a calibrated limit and a calibrated amount of time during testing, the test will fail. Open or short to PWR in harness.
Damaged EFT sensor.
Improper harness connection.
Damaged PCM.
Verify EFT-PID value to determine open or short.

 

when i had my stock fuel pumps, on the way up state truck was runing fine, no warning started to bog then cut out. pulled over and it started but when i gave it gas it would die.it would idle but give it gas and no good.got towed to the ford dealer in the area, before they even droped the tank they said its showing a fuel code you need new pumps.i gave sal A call at psp and he said have them drop the tank ,before they change the pumps check the hose between the two pumps sumtimes they come off, the stock clamps are no good,they droped the tank and thats what it was , they fixed it with good clamps ,and my pumps were fine.and saved me alot of money! now im not saying when you put your pumps in you used the old clamps but ,it has the same symptoms as mine. good luck with it

 

thats why i wanna get into the tank first to make sure everything is hooked up before i buy anything...

 

its no fun to drop the tank , i had it done, but if you have the time and place it sounds like a good place to start

 

Did you check both relays?

 

thanks.. i did the hi/low relay... gotta check the other one now
