Hey folks need some help.
Several weeks ago my 06 (3.0 not flex fuel) acted like it ran out of fuel. Then it would crank but not start after sitting in car line waiting for my son. I didn't think I could hear the fuel pump running at all so did some banging and after about 45 minutes while waiting on a friend I tried again, heard the fuel pump kick on and it fired up.
Replaced the fuel pump and filter (nightmare town tbh due to a previous guy changing it and breaking all the fuel line clips and cross-threading a rear fuel tank strap bolt). Thought the problem was solved.
Fast forward a week later. I take my son to breakfast and after driving him home to get stuff for school the car will crank but not start. I could hear the fuel pump running but it was acting like it wasn't getting any gas. After about 45 minutes to an hour, it fires right up like no problem.
This same thing has happened now a few times. I have changed the temp control sensor and thought it fixed it. Nope.
It has spark, plenty of power but will not fire. After waiting 30-45 minutes it fires right up. I'd love some suggestions of where to look next. I have a fuel pressure gauge but can't find the schraeder valve to check.
Help!!
Thanks.
