Question:
I think there's something wrong with my fuel system but I want to be sure because if if not,I'm out $100 for the test.There is a recall on the fuel system.Here's what it's doing: I drive a lot of h-way time.About 2-3 months ago I started hearing a loud humming noise coming from the engine.I'm just driving along with cruise control on even and just out of the blue the engine will begin humming.It'll start soft,get louder and then stay at one pitch.When I take my foot off the gas,it dies down and then everything sounds normal,but once I apply the gas, it doesn't take but a few minutes and it comes back.I had new spark plugs installed around the time my engine light started staying on for longer periods because it does go off but it doesn't stay off for more than one trip,I've always gotten 30mpg and still am.I can't afford to be out $100.Does anyone know if this is fuel system related, or not?I've heard Ford's are known for bad fuel pumps, is this true?

THE VERY FIRST THING YOU DO IS FREE. Take it to an Advanced Auto Parts store and have them check the trouble code. They will do this for free and it takes less than 5 minutes. This will tell you if that the ECM has detected a problem and it will tell you what it is. If its something to do with your fuel system (i.e. lean mixture) than start with a new fuel filter. They are $7 and take less time to replace than checking the trouble code. The problem also could be an air intake leak.More Questions & Answers ...
