Asked by Jacob Jan 19, 2018 at 05:30 PM about the 2001 Ford F-150 Lariat Crew Cab 4WD SB

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

sometimes the truck would take a few seconds to start. but it always did. Now it
will not start at all. I have put staring fluid in and it will spark it. The gas is a little
over a quarter tank on a slight hill. The inertia sensor is not set off and the fuse
looks good.

So, i kept trying and hit the gas tank and the fuel pump decided to work. It has been freezing for a week so maybe it was just a bit frozen and week.

My issue I was having was that the fuel pump is getting worn out and the motor has a harder time starting when it's cold, so after like 40 f it will not turn on Everytime, but if you keep going into egnion on and off to make the fuel turn on and off it will sometimes start up.
