    Nice diag and job on that '03 Ford F-150. Dealt with similar issues on a Ford F-150 1999 4.2L, after fixing their vacuum hoses and having to replace a couple other odds and ends, even double confirmed with smoke test and fuel pressure test. The girl still wanted to sell the truck for P0171 and P0174 (Lean both banks) and not have me replace the fuel pump. I was like sell a truck over a bad fuel pump 😵🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️
    I get selling a truck with a bad engine/transmission problem, but a couple hundred dollar fuel pump. Like you out ya mind. Oh well. 😂😂

    I've got to tell you that this video shocked me, I bought a little old 2001 f-150 with the 4.2, when I bought the truck it ran great for about a month with the exception of a long start well about two weeks ago my check engine light popped on I had a scanner put on it and it was a misfire in my #1 spark plug so I went and bought a new coil pack, plug wires, and spark plugs for it but before I could put every thing on I was driving down the road and all the sudden it started running real rough man it was running bad I told my little Chihuahua dog , baby girl we might not make it home Lol, but we did, any way I put all the new stuff on it and the check engine light was still on and it was still running rough, I even put a few new sensors on it to no luck, but what shocked me the most was when you did that fuel pump it fixed that long start issue and that truck sounded so much better, see what I think, and I don't have a scanner tool, is when I did the plugs and all, it probably fixed that #1 misfire issue I had but now my fuel pump has finally said enough is enough I don't know, but that is surly what it seems ,I'm on my way out the door now to put a fuel filter on it just because I don't know when it's been changed last, thanks for a great video I assure you I'll be looking at many more.

One will be wired to my 10a pwr sollar controller & the other via toggle switch & fuse box,to 2nd motor. My question. Hope you can follow.Can I put a relay,5 pin set up like in your video, between the battery & 2nd motor so when the 1st motor that's connected to the solar controller charging the battery,reaches desire charge, then the relay cuts off the 2nd motor so not to over charge.

I have put, new plugs, new fuel injectors, new coil packs, new egr, new back pressure valve, and new fuel filter. The bad thing is everything I did fixed it for a day or a few miles. But I have been taking off the battery cables. I am sure it is the fuel pump now after watching this. I even have the same codes as your one you were working on. So I am pulling pump out today and putting new one in. Wish me luck.Oh and Iove the way you are letting the little one be involved. Taht is how I learned everything I know.

    • @HomieHektor
      @HomieHektor  Před 2 lety +4

      10,000 rpm (high) 4 amps of current (kinda low) 20psi of fuel pressure (low)… high pump rpm means the pump is not pushing enough fuel or little to no resistance to fuel flow, this pump wasn’t holding pressure with the KOEO (bad check valve or internal leak at the pump) basically the fuel pump is freewheeling. 👍🏼

When I let go of trying to turn on the car the lights come back on. Many videos say it's the key ignition but we took the dash board apart under the steering wheel and tried to manually start it by the switch in the dashboard. What could it be?
