Hey guys anyone else come across this problem?
2006 V6 Auto. I have not put any mod’s on this car, full stock still.
Fuel gauge drops from ¼ tank to E. (Both while driving & while coming from both slow and fast starts) has not done it on ignition start, but has happen within I would say 2 mins from firing the engine.
Fuel warning light comes on with like 5 miles to empty.
Rough idle like the engine wants to cut off.
Then the fuel gauge rebounds to ¼ tank and no problems.
This only happens when I reach the ¼ tank mark. I cannot duplicate it. I have tried rough take offs, and fast corners, thinking ok maybe some way in h#ll it was the fuel shifting in the tank, but @ ¼ it should not do that.. Nothing. Ford has no clue and it has been in about 5 times for this problem.
Sometimes this happens 1 once a day, 3 times a day, or 1 once a week. ??
This started around the end of Jan, and just keeps happening. Ford did replace the 1st fuel pump but it has not fixed the problem with the fuel gauge drop. ??
Other then that the only other symptoms I have had where while driving the engine felt like it sputtered and would do a 3 times go/shutdown/go/shutdown/go while shifting for passing at highway speeds that had to of been the code for the fuel pump which was replaced.
I’m frustrated any ideas? Besides lemon law?
Thanks.
Matt
