1994 econoline e150 problem

willzy207 · 09-24-2009, 07:16 AM

i have a 1994 econoline e150 day van in the uk which now refuses to start there is no life going to the fuel cut off switch but the fuse box and fuses are fine and live is there a sensor on the oil presure switch that will cut off the fuel pump if oil presure gets low or is there any other fuses in the wiring for it please help i am a new owner and just purchased it in good faith

dont know what to suggest, but low oil has nothing to do with fuel. try checking your wiring to see if there is anything that may have come off.

there are two relays that might be involved. The EEC/ignition relay, triggers the Fuel pump relay, which sends power to the inertial safety switch.

i think that the fuel pump has died there is no fuel presure or noise from the pump i have checked the cut off switch in passenger foot well i have current going in when the ignition is turned on and coming out for a few seconds then comes back when engine is cranked so reading other threads im am thinking that relays are fine the vehicle was parked for a year before i bought it i put about 40ltrs of fresh fuel in and it ran fine drove 200 miles home with no problems but got low on fuel and wouldnt start put more in and started fine ran good all the way home till i turned it off since then it has refused to start i am in england and quite hard to get parts would i be able to fit an alternative pump in the line or would this not pull fuel through the original pump

try Auto Parts Fast at RockAuto I think they ship UPS, and that UPS delivers in the UK.

BTW... as a member here you can get a discount.

Also are you sure that you have fuel? In the past each time it didn't start you added fuel and it ran fine.

yeh i put in another 20 ltres and still wont go i thought it might have had a blockage in the line but i have fuel in the filter but nothing come out of the line that feeds the filter i have turned on ignition (not a wise move i know )with the feed pipe disconected and there is no fuel and the pump doesnt cut in are the submerged pumps hard to change or just like euro boxes and take off the retaining ring and pull it out ?
your input is greatfully recieved as im clueless unless its got points and carbs

Read through this thread and follow the links that I posted.

Then I would suggest you contact the original poster by private message and in the forum to find out what measurements he would suggest sould you decide to cut an access panel.

Have you diconnected the whole filter or just one end, if the filter is blocked the pump may be at its full pressure and wont work anyway.

mine is a day van with full interior in the back i have had the tank out to look at the position of the pump so shouldnt be a problem to change the unit just got to make sure i get the right part sent over i had thought about trying to fit a bmw or similar injection pump in the fuel line i know the pressure is around 35psi if i can find a pump with correct out put pressure maybe that would be a cheaper alternative
