1586 Jeff Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 My 2004 F250 has started running poorly, it will barely move under its own power. I limped it to a local mechanic who diagnosed a bad fuel pump. He replaced the fuel only to still have low fuel pressure. A second replacement pump was installed on the chance that the first one was defective. I have not been able to locate a “fuel pump driver module” on this particular truck. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know for sure but have seen that in the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKwelder Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Silly question, is there a filter between the pump and the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There IS a filter between the fuel pump and the engine. That was the first thing that was changed. Further testing shows 35psi idle & 40psi WOT between the fuel pump and the fuel filter, but only 23-25psi at the fuel rail. I have already decided that it is getting a new fuel pressure regulator tomorrow. It is raining here now, otherwise it would already be installed. Thank you!!

Not much on fords anymore but the older ones had 2 pumps one in tank and one on frame rail. Don’t know if newer ones continued that. So if you had dual tanks you had 3 pumps.

vtfireman85 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 That one is a 2 valve, yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtfireman85 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Another thought, again not a ford guy here but GM have a ground jumper near the trailer hitch, it is common for this to fail, or get unhooked when removing a box etc, fuel pump wont run without it.

The fuel pump runs and makes good pressure, but there is a restriction between the fuel filter and the fuel rail. That is why the fuel pressure regulator is getting checked out tomorrow, it is between the fuel filter and the fuel rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
