How much does a fuel pump cost for a Ford Taurus - Mercury Sable?

Answer 1

In a repair shop such as the one i work at it would be around 650.00 parts and labor, that fuel pump is located in the fuel tank, a rather large job

Having just replaced mine today in a 98 Sable, I can tell you:

• Autozone runs $120 & 186 (without sending unit)
• RockAuto.com goes $89-265
• Ford Motorcraft branded parts: $200-400

Couple of notes

• NOT AN EASY JOB - if you're not sure, have a professional do it!
• You can buy a 'bare' pump that comes with the big o-ring, but don't forget the strainers - another $30
• There is a difference between the Vulcan/Flex fuel pumps versus the Duratec DOHC. Not the same pump.
• It is possible to cut your own access hole in the floor to avoid dropping the tank. I did that today modeled after information linked through TaurusCarClub.com
• I have had very good luck with used pumps. Save tons of money - and now that I have an access plate, I don't car if I have to do it again in a couple of years.
• When checking power, know that the power supply line, pink & black striped wire, is HOT for only a couple of seconds when turning the key to RUN.
• Don't forget to check the inertia / emergency shut-off switch in the trunk/back corner.
