What a stressful week it's been, still not able to get my baby to turnover.
Changed out the rear fuel pump assembly that's in the tank.
Changed out the fuel pump controller module that powers the pump.
Changed out the high pressure fuel injection pump that's right next to the engine.
Still can't start.
Did finally get a code on my latest DTC code sweep, P00C6, for the fuel rail pressure being too low.
Alright, so I went down to my local Ford dealer, and grabbed a fuel filter for a 2018 Mustang GT. For some reason I couldn't find it on the catalog, but a quick google says it's FG1152. Apparently that part is out of stock, but the guy does some quick work, and comes up with another part number that should work just the same, score! ... some of you that follow me might have an idea where this is going, if so, big brownie points to you.
So since the car is in the street because I can't power it up the slanted driveway and into the garage with no power, I'm burning my ass and back on the pavement where the jackstands are barely holding onto. Smart guy I am, I made some wooden tire stands a few weekends prior just for moments like this. So I get under there, twist off those painful screw/tab things, pop the cover under the driver side and ...
Uhm. That's awkward.
If you look at the subframe, you'll see they've got a square surrounded by two holes, which is where it would mount to for a GT350. So yeah, the dealership sold me a fuel filter for a car that DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ONE*
So, I guess we're down to one.
Hopefully your weekend is going better. Onward and upward.
* Technically, it does, it's like a sock on the hose in the fuel tank that would prevent things from being sucked through. I don't know what the micron rating is and whatnot, but so yeah, technically we have fuel filters, but they're not what's thought of when you think of as a fuel filter.
