I cannot believe that a car as ubiquitous as a Ford Expedition cannot keep a supply of common parts among its dealers and suppliers. Government vehicles supposedly have priority to receive the parts first. I hear that several local police departments have Expeditions that are inoperable because of broken fuel umps and no replacements parts.

I understand that my situation is not unique. In the meantime, my family is dead in the water with an inoperable truck! We tried a used part, but after it worked well for about a day, it ultimately worked no better than the broken one we pulled out. No other dealers have the part, and can't get it to us for weeks. (the world's largest) which told me that they will not be restocked with this part until February. However, we cannot locate a replacement pump (Part No. About 3 weeks ago, we experienced problems starting the car, and our independent mechanic diagnosed it as a broken fuel pump. If the noise is from the fuel pump, failure of the pump is often imminent and you should replace the fuel pump at your earliest convenience.We purchased our 2005 Expedition 4 1/2 years ago and have enjoyed it. As a fuel pump fails, you may notice a whirring or humming noise coming from the fuel tank area, toward the rear of the car. The lack of fuel may result in the engine operating without enough fuel relative to the amount of air, causing the check engine light to appear. Sometimes a fuel pump will fail slowly, and that means the fuel pressure and volume slowly degrades. A failed fuel pump may prevent a car from starting or stall it.

Car won’t start or unexpectedly stalls and won’t re-start.

This failed condition can sometimes be preceded or accompanied by one or more of the following symptoms: If it fails to produce adequate pressure or completely quits operating, it will need to be replaced.

However, as with any electro-mechanical component, a fuel pump will eventually degrade and fail. When to consider replacing the fuel pump?Ī high quality, OEM fuel pump can last indefinitely.
