You should be able to just depress the schrader valve to relieve any air pressure that has built up inside the fuel system.

Unread post by rottendave » Wed Jul 24, 2013 5:40 pm

I have a merc topaz 96, v6 and when its been running for about an hour it shuts down on hot days. it has fuel injection my mech said might be vapor lock and have to wait an hour in shade to start up again. im an old veteran and live in the Mojave desert gets hot when waiting for it to cool down. can it be anything other than vapor lock??

could be vapor lock. if you have a fuel pressure gauge with an exhaust port you could look for air in the fuel system when the problem occurs. Fuel pump relay, EEC relay, fuel pump, a shorting injector, fuel pressure regulator to high, coolant temp switch open - reading way too cold, fuel pressure regulator leaking into vacuum port...

you will need to check for spark, check fuel pressure and fuel injector pulse when the vehicle won't start. If you have spark, fuel pressure and pulse when it won't start that's when you would look at the volume and quality of the fuel stream (see if there are a lot of bubbles of air in the fuel stream)

Problem with fuel pump

Unread post by DerekKlein » Fri Aug 29, 2014 8:55 am

I own a 2001 Ford Ranger with a 3.0 v6 engine and yesterday it had some trouble starting. It turns over and started putting a “Vroom....” sound. I don't recognize what happened. I opened out the bonnet and checked whether is there is any wire fused or not. But I didn't notice any mistake. So, today morning I took my car to a nearby car repair service centre and they found the issue was with the fuel pump. That's why the engine was not starting. Has anyone had any such similar experience?

not sure what you mean. having a problem starting? the noise you describe is difficult to decipher. do you mean the starter let go? the engine started to start? unclear what it is you are describing


I have a question for you though, what issue did they find with your fuel pump? did they do a fuel pressure test? did your truck not meet the fuel pressure requirements for your vehicle? was your fuel pump getting the proper power and ground connections?

year, engine size along with the make and model will help to diag a problem.

What is the car doing? What makes you think the problem is "not want to take fuel"? The more information that you can give me the more I can try and figure out what might be happening.

so, are you saying that the car cuts out on acceleration? when you gradually accelerate from a stop? When you floor it any time? engine cold or warm? sometimes? all the time? Does the engine hesitate then take off? does the engine bog down until you let off the throttle? Does the engine cut out and jerk like the engine is shutting on and off real quickly? does it cut out in the beginning but then power up if you hold the gas down?

Did you bring your car to a repair shop? Because they well test if the pressure gauge pump is not delivering the right amount of fuel to the engine, while someone else is reviving the car to a given speed.

Hey I also recently suffered from same problem. I bought Maruti Swift car some days ago. It was running good but after some days when I was going in a party. On the way My car suddenly get stopped than I get it repaired from a local repair shop. But after some days same problem came in front of me then I searched for a good auto body shop. I asked many of my friends and when I was searching on the internet for some good service providers. I call them and serviceman came to my home and repaired my car> Now it is running good. I am happy with their services.
