Makes sense. I should have added that after the pump has primed a few times, it won't prime anymore independent of fuel pressure (this is done just in case the fuel pressure sensor is not functioning, in which case the pump will assume there are no leaks and will not try to keep pressurizing the system).jbird60, this was my thinking with hitting the button a few times before startup, but it appears it only primes the system for a very short amount of time and doesn't do it everytime you hit the button without your foot on the clutch.
Kind of a lame excuse on the dealership's part. It's simply a matter of timing. I'd say if you were ok with not having your car overnight, they should let it sit and try again in the morning. That should for sure be long enough to demonstrate what you're experiencing given you can make it happen on a much shorter interval.My dilemma now is that Ford swears up and down they can never get the problem to replicate and that my video(s) (I have several showing different scenarios) aren't good enough for them to start testing anything. :tsk:
Also, the check valve is built into the in-tank fuel pump unit. So if it has gone bad, then the entire pump assembly would be replaced.
