Ford Tempo repair

I've got a '90 Ford Tempo GL that today decided to quit running. I had been running fine but all of a sudden shortly after leaving home, it sputtered and died. When I try to start it, it will start and run for a second then die. Could this be a faulty fuel pump? It has new spark plugs. Any ideas?

ahh, i had the same problem once with my corona, its was a leaking feulpump gaskets... just needed replaceing and it was fine

hey man i'm not totally sure what the problem is but go to this site www.tempotopaz.com and you are sure to get help

It could be a lot of reasons. i would suggest getting a haynes manual, $14.99 at autozone. There will be a troubleshooting section in the front of the manual. check that then reply to help narrow it down. or else we can be here for a long time.:smile:

if you think it might be fuel delivery then you should first check your fuel filter

Definitely check your fuel filter as well as your fuel pump :-)
