is there fuel pump relay in the 1996 windstar
check if the fuel pump ground is connected
even though it sounds like it is pumping it may not be, try a new pump and new fuel filter
The fuel pump is not building pressure to push the fuel to the engine so i would suggest getting your fuel pump checked and or get a new fuel pump.
Try a new Fuel filter, or a new fuel pressure regulator. Also check if the fuel pump is working, it could be electrical. Usually you can hear the pump buzzing if you're close to it.
If you are getting power to the pump and no fuel is coming out then yes.
yes if you need new fuel pump, the engine is not getting fuel. therefore no fuel equals engine wont run
You must drop the fuel tank. The fuel pump is inside along the sending unit rail. I would STRONGLY suggest getting a new sending unit to go with the new fuel pump.
try bypassing the fuel pump, and directly injecting fuel, this will tell you if the problem is the pump, the lines, or further ahead
Injectors are clogged
The pump could be defective. Or the power may not be getting to the pump. Check the pump fuse and relay to start with.
needs a new fuel pump
Then that means that u need a new fuel pump b/c that current one has gone bad!!
