Thread: I have gas and no way to go!

Tweet

I have a problem with my 1990 lincolon towncar, it has a 5.0 litre V8 and I have replaced the fuel pump and filter, I am not getting any fuel coming out of the supply line going to the filter. I need ideas please, all info is greatly appreciated.

Hi, have you checked the fuel pump relay? You shouldn't have to buy one to test,there's often several relays next to it you can swap over. There also should be a switch that shuts off the fuel as a safety in a rear ender. It can be reset. You can free tech info at the Autozone site by signing up for it. Good luck! Hank

The relay Hank is talking about is called ASD relay (auto shut down). You'll find it in the trunk behind an access panel,
Pop the trunk, stick your head in and it should be marked on the panel door.
("should be")

AKA the inertia switch. like nitro said, its in the trunk. it has a red button on top and should be pressed in to complete the fuel pump circuit. if its out, no power will go to the pump.
