Getting fuel to the secondary fuel filter?

Do you have any aftermarket stuff (security system, tuner)? How about gauges (like fuel pressure).

I assume you have drained the primary fuel filter to look at the fuel quality (ie any gelling). Also, filter changes recent? What filters did you use?

May not have anything to do with it, but Ford warns that aftermarket filters can plug a lot more quickly than the OEM (Racor, International, or Motorcraft). They can also swell with water and plug off.

Make sure your fuel pump is pumping (pulling the secondary fuel filter and cranking) - watch for fuel flow and the fuel bowl should be essentially full when you pull the filter. Two person job, you should also pull a fuse to do the test (just for safety). It is all described in the "troubleshooting a no-start condition" - in the Tech Folder.

Sorry - I am late for work also - hopefully others can jump in w/ more if needed.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the pump will run KoEo without cranking. Safer that way and should fill 2ndary bowl.

If the batteries are good I think it's time to check the fuses and then the FICM voltage.
