Ford Tempo The Ford Tempo is an American-built two-door coupe and four-door sedan produced by the Ford Company from 1984 to 1994.

Default Help with 92 Tempo with v6 will not start

My mom has a 92 tempo with the V6 engine. She was driving down the interstate and the car just died. No noises or hesitations. I checked the fuel shut off switch in trunk and it is pushed in. I sprayed some starting fuel in the engine and it just barely started. The engine will pump the gas up to fuel filter when I took it off and turned on key it pumped out. I also pushed the place where you check pressure and it came out a little and then stopped. It acts like the timing is not correct. Does anyone have any ideas. Thanks ahead of time for any tips

That shraeder valve that you pressed in should have 35psi pressure behind it.
You have an electric fuel pump in the tank.
Try changing your fuel filter.
Then borrow a fuel pressure guage and see what kind of pressure you are getting.
There's a proceedure for this, but first let us know how you make out with changing the fuel filter.
