hey guys i need some guidance.i have a 95 f150 xlt 4wd 5.0 .about a month ago it started to sputter even cut off at a stop light and restarted after about 4 attempts.i changed the fuel filter and put injector cleaner in and it ran fine.that is until today when i started out for work.it just turns over and sometimes tries to fire without success.i really did not have time to look at it today because of work.could someone please tell me where to start.147000 miles

 

check ur fuel pump. turn the key on but dont start it and see if u can hear the fuel pump running !

 

I Hear The Buz,then Almost Like A Clunk

 

uh thats got me stumped i'll ask around and see if i can come up with anything to help

 

much appreciated,thanks

 

came home from work this morning and decided to try to jump the truck.it turned over for about 5 seconds and fired up?????i let it run for about 15 minutes as it was running i noticed the idle between 600 900rpm in and out.a few times i thought it was going to shutdown! i killed the motor and restarted.it fired up and ran again......still with the unsteady idle.......could the battery cause all this or does it sound like something else.the battery is less than a year old.now im afraid to drive it anywhere for fear the truck may not start when im ready to come home.anyway thanks for listening.i apreciate any help or suggestions.i see this site as an invaluable resource!!!!!!

 

I had the same problem and it was fuel starvation caused byh a defective fuel pump. changed the pump and alla works great.

 

i Thought About The Fuel Pump And It Very Well Maybe.i Will Check Fuel Pressure.did Your Pressure Still Show Within Specs?the Only Thing Is It Does It On Both Tanks.if The Pressure Is Ok I Will Pull The Plugs Today And Start There And Work My Way Back..........thanks For The Responses Everyone.......

 

I've had a similar problem where the truck dies at random moments. It will stop running while driving as well as not start sometimes. Fuel pressure is fine and I'm suspecting something in the ignition system.. possibly module or coil?

Sorry for adding my problem in your post but I'm suspecting we have a similar problem. Hope someone can help us out.

 

all i could come up with is the fuel pump bein bad . i have a 89 and i rebuilt the motor and put it back in and it ran for 3 miles and quit and it was the fuel pump too
