So I picked up a 01 Expedition Eddie Bauer edition. It's not a bad vehicle but it doesn't run. The guy I bought it from had a few problems telling the truth, it started with the vehicles location. The ad read that it was in Cascade, IA but when I got the address from the guy it turned out to be Dubuque, IA. Then he said it runs but it won't always start back up after you run it. Then I get there and find out it's been sat for 4 months without running. He said if I spray starter fluid in the TB it will run, so I sprayed starter fluid into the TB with it wide open and it sputters like it wants to start but obviously if it's not getting fuel the starter fluid isn't going to be able to get it there.
So now I got the vehicle at my house and I was doing some reading and there is apparently a fuel pump relay that goes out in Expeditions and it's pretty common but a pain since it's soldered on. No big deal. I tear the passenger kick plate off today and the fuse/relay panel isn't there. instead there is a fuel pump reset button. When I get the battery back to good I'm going to try the reset button but I'm wondering if you knowledgeable folks have any other common fuel related problems with these that I may have missed?
