All,
Went to start my 18,000 Mile black Marauder for it's quarterly long warm up and 6 block drive... and it wouldnt start :( . (Note: Started on first compression/turn 3 months ago -- as it always had).
Checked all the posts I could find on this topic.
New Charged battery.
Gently tapped on and then moved and replaced new relays and fuses
Checked Fuel Pump button in trunk
not so gently beat the hell out of the gas tank with rubber mallet (as some suggested)
Fuel pump is simply not priming or pumping when key is first turned. Note: I checked all three other Panthers I have, and while they each make a unique sound - they do make a fuel pump sound when key is first turned -- while the Black makes no sound at all.
Brother Marty said to replace the pump - and I trust this advice and am working on this now; the local stealership said the pump is NA, item number Ford 3W1Z9H307AB is NLA.
Question is: What fuel pump - part number should buy to replace this with? Found New Old Stock Ford (above) unit on Ebay... Is there a better pump out there or should I stay with stock?
Also any other helpful advice on "Crank but no start" Marauder issue accepted gratefully. WHERE on the gas tank should I pound? Should KEY be on when I pound on it? I would really like NOT to tow the beast to the mechanic.
Thanks in advance.
