I have a 99 4x4 Supercab with the V6 3.0L engine. It has been running like a dream and I have been very happy with it.
Quite suddenly about a week ago, I tanked up with gas and the gauge needle went past the "F" as it always does - but it then stayed there for about three days before I suddenly realized I don't have magic gas!
I took it into a reasonably reliable independant shop (my local Goodyear service center) they spent about 2 hours checking the system out electrically and found nothing. They did not charge me as they could not find the problem - I was impressed by that alone!
They suggested a trip to Mr Ford would be the only answer.
I scheduled an appointment this very morning, but yesterday on the way home suddenly I noticed that the gauge was reading accurately.
Does anyone have even the vaguest idea what caused this 'blip'?
As it started to function normally and as I am not 'made of money' I did not take it into the Ford shop today.
I am just a little bit concerned that it still isn't working properly even though it appears to be doing so, and I'll run out of gas on some dark, cold lonely road......
