Pulling the fuse (fuel pump)

I changed my fuel filter the other day and relieved the fuel pressure by pulling the fuse to the fuel pump. I was surprised that the engine died almost immediately. When I did the same thing on my wife's Escape a couple days later, that car took over a minute to finally die. Is it normal that my car died so quickly?

yes.

I am more worried that your wifes ran for a minute with no fuel pressure.

If it worries you, you can always just rent a fuel pressure guage and check fuel pressure at the Rail. Although I'm betting it is just fine.

Can someone point out where the fuse is located (inside the car or under the hood) and what the amperage is? Someone stole my manual when I took the car to have it sprayed.

I usually just yank the fuel pump relay. Its under the hood, you will see which one it is under the fuse box cover. I think you only have one whereas older GTP's have a fuel pump relay and a fuel pump speed relay.

Can someone point out where the fuse is located (inside the car or under the hood) and what the amperage is?

Assuming you have a '98 GT. Engine compartment fuse box. Mini-fuse #32 (15 amp) located right above the fuel pump relay #14. Let me know if you need a pic.

Thanks for the info. I found it.
