 Subject: Weird Fuel problem after rebuild...
IP: Logged
Message:
Fresh 3.9 with 500 miles on her
This has happened twice in the last week after leaving my
truck for over 6 or 7 hours...
keep in mind this only happened twice, not everytime
I let her sit for over a period of time and cool down.
She just wouldnt start the first time until about 5 or 6 tries
of turning her over
Its like theres no fuel getting to the motor
This morning it happened again... but this time she wouldnt
start at all!
I had to buy some gas and poor it down the throttle body
to get her running (can doing this hurt anything?)
So I got her running (ran fine) and drove to my mechanic to
see if he knows what could be the problem, he says it might be a
bad fuel pump, or fuel pump relay?
Also when you listen to the motor with the hood up standing in front
of it you can hear a clicking or tapping noise, not that loud but
noticeable, my mechanic said it could be the lifters? What do you think?
by the way, everything but the motor has 147,000 miles
Please help
Thank you,
Fed

Well, if you have any money left, it wouldn't hurt to replace the fuel pump.
147k is also about when they go out.

zzark is right there could be pump
pump relay
ASD relay
bad connection or ground
when you turn the key on the pump should run for
about 2 secs than it will not run untill motor is
cranking
stick your head under on tank have someone turn
key on off you will hear it

Had the same problem, it was the fuel pressure regulator...unfortunately, that was also part of the fuel pump module on my year truck...
If it doesn't fit, force it. If it breaks...well...it needed to be replaced anyway.
