first off it's an aerostar 4.0 auto,
I can get it to run but only if the fuel pump powers up, and trips the relay. most of the time it just sits, and whines, and will not start.
if it starts, I can drive it around, and sometimes shut it off, and restart it. other times it won't fire at all, or won't restart.
I'm thinking either the pump is crapping out, or the pressure switch is going bad.
I know where to find the pump, but where is the switch? and once I locate it how do I test it?
on a very tight budget so I can't just replace stuff to see if that was the problem...
