Ok I have been having a little trouble over the past week with my Ford. I was driving around today and after driving 45 minutes the car slowly dies. There was a loss of power, the engine started revving lower, and as I pulled over to the side of the road it stalled. I was doing 45 to 50 miles per hour and in fifth gear and then it started lossing the power, switched to 4th didn't matter still lost power...
I tried starting the car up right afterwards, it would fire up but then stall. Waited five minutes, started up, ran for 5 seconds, then stalled. Waited 30 minutes, started up and was able to make it home (About 1 mile away).
I turned the key several times to hear the fuel pump and it sounds like it works, makes a whirl noise when put to on. Tried it three times.
Could this be the Fuel Pressure Regulator? Bad Puel Pump?
I do not know of any filter in the system... What can I do to get it checked out?
