Re: Taurus hit in lot, won't start
I agree that the likely culprit is the fuel pump inertia cutoff switch. Are you sure you have good fuel pressure?
Also, I changed the thread title to something meaningful per the forum guidelines. -Rod |

Re: Taurus hit in lot, won't start
yeah i checked the cutoff switch first it is still in the down position...meaning it wasn't tripped when hit.....if im correct when tripped the button will pop out and you'll have to push it in to reset it also i checked fuel pressure by pushing the fuel valve under the hood... any more ideas will help thx for the reply. and the grammar correction
