Hi all, first time poster here. I'm decent with cars, but have almost zero Ford experience. My daughter has an '05 4.0 that has been a great car. Last week, she called me saying that the car had died on her while driving and she was at a gas station. I went to check it out, and the car started right up, and I drove it back home several miles without incident. It had two codes, and I apologize that I don't have the exact codes in front of me. I was going to go out and re-read them but my daughter is out with friends and took her keys. :/ The codes translated by my cheapo reader said something like "Fuel Pressure High Bank 2". At any rate, I told her to try warming up the car before driving and to be careful, and i would delve into it that weekend.
Well, two days later her car stumbled and died in traffic. Since the motor wasn't running, the brake booster was not working and she rolled into a stopped minivan.
So now, while I am searching for a hood and headlight buckets and installing her new radiator, I still need to address the original problem. My wife's uncle is a drag racer and engine builder with a lot of Ford savvy, and he thinks it is the fuel pressure regulator.
Hopefully tomorrow I can re-scan the codes and add them to this post. Until then, I'm open to wild-arse theories.
