Yesterday my 93 fox was running like it has no fuel and it has fuel. Today was when I drive it was all good. The first day I buy it did the same thing

Good story. Will read again.


On a more serious note

What is your question, how many miles, what mods have been done to the car, have you pulled codes, how long have you had the car?

A mechanic of the area said that was the Fuel pump

Without more specific information, I would say that he's probably right.

Me: I bought a car, what tires do I need?
Noobz: What year, make and model? Suspension mods? Stock or aftermarket whee? If aftermarket what size?
Me: Discount said 225/60R17
Noobz:

So the moral of the story is the more you tell us in the very first post the more helpful we can be which is what we like to do vs. making fun of folks...

Also, creating a signature with details on your car in there also helps. Then you can just say with regards to the car in my sig...blah blah blah.

I liken it more to:

Patient: I need a doctor!
Doctor: What's wrong with y ou?
Patient: I dunno, you're the doctor.

Normally I'd be all for the smart-ass responses, but I'm getting the feeling English might not be his first language so we can be a little more patient with him.

So, as stated before, please tell us everything you can about the car and the symptoms. If you have trouble describing it, pictures and videos would go a long way to helping.

Yep My first language is Spanish! I don’t know too much English.
Today I change the fuel filter and was dirtier. When I start it was all good drive it like 3 minutes and was doing the same, it runs like it no have fuel! Was running at 500 rpm. The mechanic of my area said it was the fuel pump

It is very possible it's the pump, ask your mechanic to test the fuel pressure and report back with the number he tells you. Also if you can show us pics of the car and engine bay it might be helpful for us to try to guide you.
