UPDATE, May 20, 2020
Driving down the freeway, car just quits on me, feels like no fuel, pulled in to the side, tried starting it, cranks but no start, WOW
Right there I start to blame XDI-35 fuel pump.
Sitting thinking what to do, e-mailed XDI and Matt Robinson at Grearhead.
Called my wife to come get me, thinking to swap back to stock fuel pump.
5 min later got reply from Matt, he gave me his number and asks me to call, so I did, we talked and he was very confident its the fuel pump module.
He told me to unplug the fuel line before XDI, crank and see if any fuel comes out, I did that and not a drop of fuel came out during 5 seconds of cranking, so he told me to get a new module.
BTW, XDI never replied, 5 days now already....
I called local dealer and they had one on the shelf, by that time my wife pulled up.
Went to the dealer, got the module, parts guy tells me that there is a recall on it, I turned to service manager and asked him if I get it for free, he says sorry NO, you have to bring vehicle in it's a law, I was like what ever, give me module I am out.
Came to the car, plugged the module car started right up, SOLD!
Now, two days later I get recall notice in the mail about this stinking fuel pump module, I called ford spoke to representative told them how local dealer did not want to pay for the module, Ford told me to go back and demand the money back they should.
So I am back on the horn, called service manager, he sure remember me, I told him what Ford told me, he says fine, but there is a trick to it, I still have to bring car in just so they can track this as a service, then once they get paid for this recall they can send me a check, fine Appointment schedule...
Module Part# (same for all tauruses and explorers) AA8Z-9D370-B
Recall issued number: 16S31Here is the video of how where and what:
