SUCESS ! changed that fuel pump and my escape fired right up like there never was a problem .
thanks Clay , i appreciate your help .
This is exactly our problem. While replacing fuel injectors, we noticed gasoline coming out of the vacuum line from the regulator. Exactly as well as shown in this video. This is an awesome video.
Very informative, I watched this after changing mine but he gave alot more info.
Thank you I believe this just happened to my car and I couldn't figure out why it seemed to slip but it was probably a misfire. And the check engine light came on. I made a schedule for the car to be seen on Thursday. I changed the oil that not that long ago. I sure appreciate this information because it helps me understand what I need to do and what time frame. I have a Ford Escape with over 200,000 miles and I need it to last longer
I like escapes too. I hope your channel will help me when I must repair something. Thank you.
It will I have a playlist on them ,
I like them a lot because they are cheap and good , although the very few problems they have are generally harder to fix like the alternator and the shock towers but I guess at least they don’t blow engines or generally have transmission problems until they switch to the CVT transmission……. I don’t want anybody busting my balls saying they’re cheap to fix I show you how to fix them cheaply but if you take them somewhere……. Well let’s just say they want to put it in your corn store!!!!!
@@sharpcarco Yeah They seem to be rust buckets but they are easy to drive though. I'm having trouble with my 2006 v6 with rough idle and bad gas mileage. I'm thinking injectors.
Thank you that helped
What a great guy
Great heart
God Bless
Thank you thank you very much and welcome to the channel I greatly appreciate the kind words
Good info
Sweet ol' thumbs up... Sent
Thanks Mr. Z I greatly appreciate it and welcome to the Channell we’re happy to have folks on board just like you
Thank you for this video, Clay! Just picked up a nice '06 Limited that had an intermittent P0193 code. Checked it against a '07 XLT that had a good fuel pressure sensor, and the charts were definitely different. I'm gonna further confirm it like you did with turning the key on with the vacuum hose unplugged. I suspect mine will do the same thing and I do smell gas from time to time. This would make sense. Thanks again!
This is about fuel pressure regulator (not fuel pressure sensor which is the name of the video).
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 I could’ve swore that was called a fuel pressure sensor sensor sends a signal back to the ECM and tells it what the fuel pressure is so maybe I just don’t know as much as you do… but when I Google fuel pressure sensor that’s the sensor that comes up… Thanks for informing us I will add/regulator in there
Gottcha buddy
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos...I was able to manage to exchange my fuel pump by myself. But...unfortunately....my 2008 ford escape hybrid still shuts off after about 3 min, and it starts up by itself after a min or so....do you happen to know what can cause that?
Got a burning question
Got code for Fuel pressure high
Replaced sensor and checked connector.
After replacement pressure during normal operation is at 59 psi.
During idle I took vacuum off, and pressure only increased by 2 psi..
Fuel Pump going out? Where else do I look.
Note, I have EVAP C code and C0105(?)
Car operates ok, maybe a little rich, STFT flips band forth +90%. -90%
Hey Clay! as always, thanks for the awesome videos, I watch them all. Had the same thing happen to my fuel rail sensor replaced it all good, Thank you! Quick question when/if you have time. I'm still chasing terrible fuel mileage, (2 years now) like 9 mpg in the winter..double that or better in the summer. However, now It has started long cranking to start, rough idle, lean long term fuel trims. swapped all modules from a friends Escape to test..MAF, IAC, Cam sensor, EGR pressure feedback sensor, pulled fuel injectors and had them cleaned, cats not plugged..blah..blah..ect NO DIFFERENCE..losing my mind here!
Question that I just can't seem to find the answer to anywhere. I am getting 37 lbs fuel pressure while running according to my OBDII tool. What SHOULD the running pump pressure be? Thought a weak pump may be causing it to go lean? it's an 05 3.0L
Thanks man!!
First off. Thank you so much for the kind words greatly appreciate having folks like you hear.
To answer your question regretfully I know quite a bit about these cars and I can tell you that it’s a simple, complicated problem. I would have to guess that one of your three catalytic converter’s is plugged up more than likely the one near the firewall and the one directly after that one. .. obviously the in-line one is easy .. to check, but more often than not people get a misfire on their cylinder heads and the raw fuel drops down into the catalytic converter, eventually igniting and melting the converter.. probably not the answer you want to hear but more than likely is your problem your fuel pressure I don’t know exactly what it should be but I know that 37 is not bad
Hi Jayson - I've got the EXACT same symptoms as you. 9mpg in winter, better in Summer. Have also replaced a lot of stuff which didn't seem to help. Were you able to figure out what the issue was?
Also - I'm reading the shop manual for these cars, 37 PSI for fuel pressure is SLIGHTLY below normal for your 05. Manual says 39 PSI is nominal, so I can't believe that lacking 2 PSI would hurt your mileage that much.
This maybe a stupid question but where does that fuel pressure sensor hose connect to?
Ok so what's the proper spark plugs for the 06 Mariner 3.0L?
Hi there señor Clay I have a 2001 ford escape 3.0 turned off while driving I kno this post is years ago only way to reach out I don't have the other gadgets so with that said I replaced fuel pump crank sensor cam sensor ecm catalytic converter egr and still nada enchilada any keyy points here checked grounds no codes turns on then off 5seconds or so good cylinder pressure spark fuel pressure good .
I changed the fuel pressure sensor twice on my son's 06 Escape with a 3.0 it still leaks fuel out of the back of the regulator
what is the part number? I'm looking for the fuel pressure regulator for a 2002 Mazda Tribute V6 AWD
I replaced the regulator a couple years ago due to trouble code but no issues. The new part leaked gas onto the engine and I couldn't get it sealed. So I put old part on and lived with the trouble codes
Your thoughts?
2006 Ford Escape 10 things to do asap?
Honestly I can’t even think of one. Address problems when they pop up……. I should make a video about things to look for when you’re buying one of these. And potential future problems.
But there’s really nothing that you could do unless you already have a problem because people don’t normally just go and replace parts unless there’s a problem because The very few parts that actually go bad on these are generally rather expensive but there’s only like two or three and that’s what makes them very good vehicles
Hello Clay! Thanks doing these videos. I have a 2013 Ford Fiesta SE and I'm trying to find the fuel pressure regulator and sensor. I have followed the fuel lines from the fuel rail back to the gas tank and I do not see them. I suspect the regulator could possibly be located inside the pump housing(inside the gas tank). Do you have any idea where they are located? Thank you so much!
Hello sir, Been watching your videos, very helpful! Well I have a 2012 Ford Escape 2nd gen, my problem is it won’t start, I checked the fuel pump it, I pulled it out and ran it, remotely, I put on a fuel pump drive module, I noticed the the pump runs about a second longer now, I’ve checked all the fuses to the fuel system, it wants to try to crack with starter fluid, I didn’t do that to long, just enough to to see if it would try to start and it did, so that means to me that it’s getting fire, the only other thing is it might be the injectors clogged, but would all 6 be clogged, don’t seem likely but could be. Need help on what to do next
Thank You Escape Owner
You can run it for a couple of moments off of the starting fluid it’s not going to hurt anything technically speaking. It does sound like the fuel pump driver module to me but I can’t say for certain I’m very sorry I wish I had more information
@@sharpcarco
I have replaced the fuel pump driver module
Howdy, I got a 2004 Ford escape that needs a new fuel pressure regulator. Do you think you might be able to point me in the right direction?
I have a 2007 escape xlt. After driving it a bit sometimes idles low and almost stalls(sometimes stalls). No baby momma drama but I got car problems D:
😂
What things have you done to try to correct the problem ? what kind of things have you checked out?
@@sharpcarco new plugs and wires and the idle air control valve. Starts right back up though after it stalls. Temp is normal. Doesn’t stall all the time. Has maybe twice in the last couple months. Idles really low when coming to a stop and then goes back to normal. Doesn’t do great going up slight inclines so I’m wondering if it could be a fuel problem. Maybe filter is is dirty?
@@sharpcarco no check engine light either. I’d greatly appreciate any ideas you could throw my way 🙏🏻
Hi @Theclayway i have ford escape 2003 XLT and im trying to find the fuel pressure sensor regulator? Any tips? Anything helps
I have a 2004 escape 3.0 with a p0001 code. But can't locate the fuel volume regulator. Is it located directly on the fuel rail in 2004? Because it is not on left side top of engine as on a 2005 model. Where is this on a 2004 ?
Will your fuel pressure sensor circuit, be faulty if your air inlet hose is broken
I have a 2005 tribute 3.0l I would get the occasional p0054. My vehicle shut off at idle recently . About 4 months ago I replaced the fuel pressure rail sensor(Amazon). No start now and when I open the throttle body fuel comes pouring out ! Would a bad sensor do that ?
Yes, a fuel pressure regulator would do that because some of them work off a vacuum. It could be some other things, but that’s more than likely the fuel pressure regulator.
Would this help a p0452 code?
My question is on my 2011 Ford escape awd flex fuel V6 and when I got it I was getting 350 miles til empty now I'm lucky if I'm getting 230 til empty I've already changed the plugs and if I disconnect the battery it resets it back to 350 what could wrong
Maybe it would reset the adaptive‘s but more than likely the problem is that your catalytic converter‘s are plugged not allowing your exhaust to breathe properly creating lots of back pressure on the engine so that’s quite possibly the most worst case scenario it could be other things like broken vacuum lines etc. etc. but that’s the most common bad catalytic converter’s
If gas is pushed into intake how do you drain it out ?
It will evaporate,
It burns out not much going in there very little
You replaced the fuel rail pressure sensor..... Not a fuel pressure regulator.
Very valid point thank you Ryan. So much to remember often I make mistakes just like every other human
@@sharpcarco No worries, just wanted to help if there was a bit of confusion to watcher's. Keep up th he good work.
Thanks Ryan I appreciate it I corrected the problem. I guess I just didn’t think too much about it it was what was wrong with mine and you are correct it should’ve been called a sensor not regulator I’m sure that will help people in the future so we have the channel appreciate you for taking the time to write the Comment
Where is the fuel pump schrader valve on an escape like this?
Hola, buenas noches.
Necesito de su ayuda.
Tengo una escape 2003 y consume demasiada gasolina, que es lo primero que debería de revisar.
Lo solucionaste?
Dont get my 2003 does not have a fuel regulator.
so ive checked my 2003 Mazda tribute v6 ad its not is the same place, any information please
I’m very sorry when I made this video I was not aware that they did not start installing that component until 2005. So yours does not have one fuel pressure regulator located next to the intake would be the possibility I would check next
@@sharpcarco thanks for your reply, ive found it its at the back right hand side with a black cylindrical top, but appreciate you coming back to me
Hey do you know where is the fuel injection pressure sensor on 2012 Ford Escape XLT We just can’t find it
What size engine is it?
4wd 2.5 L
Well you’ll have to forgive my ignorance it’s not a vehicle that I have a lot of knowledge on but from the short amount of research that I did it appears that that engine is probably direct injection
Which means the fuel pressure sensor is probably located on the direct fuel injection pump which is on the engine.
The only other place that that sensor would be is actually physically on the fuel injection rail itself. Wouldn’t matter if it’s a BMW or if it’s a Chevrolet the only way it recognize fuel pressure is directly in the fuel system itself and that’s always located on the engine area near the injectors so if it’s not there it’s because it’s direct injection and located on the direct injection pump.
This don't hurt the engine it cause it to flood it will not run to good enough to hurt the engine hard starts mostly
That is true it won’t hurt the engine to run it but it will hurt the catalytic converter’s…. Because the engine would be running rich and The raw fuel will get ignited inside the exhaust melting the catalytic converter’s so it is something that needs to be taken care of very quickly. Plus the vehicle will run like crap
@@sharpcarco you can drive a car with no converter on it want hurt nothing at all
OK……. No problem thanks for letting me know……..
@@sharpcarco yup some people drive cars with no converter on them especially them older cars
It can actually hurt the engine. If its running to rich then it will wash all the oil off of the cylinder walls and lose all your lubrication for the piston. Which will cause cylinder scaring and loss of compression
i have Mazda Tribute 2004.. DTC p1406 and p2195 and p2197.. driving poorly.. cant go over 40MPH and cant pass 2000 RPM when driving... I checked EGR is not clogged and ordered a new DPFE sensor ( for the 1406). i do suspect my cats are clogged since i feel lot of heat from the engine. Any Thoughts ????
I could only see a portion of this when I first started reading it and I immediately figured that the catalytic converter‘s are plugged.
@@sharpcarco this vehicle has so many CATs... in your experience, should i replace all ?
Actually I would check and make sure the rear one isn’t plugged first because that’s one that you can take off easy from my experience it’s generally the rear catalytic converter mounted to the engine. I have video or removal of that one I do not have video of removal of the very front one which is pretty easy and the rear one is pretty self-explanatory the middle one is going to be the one that you have problems removing because you have to remove the alternator to get it out.
If you ever had a misfire inside the engine and repaired that problem more than likely that would be the bank that would have the bad catalytic converter
I'm having a problem with my Ford freestyle it idle's
Do you have to depressurize the fuel system first before removing the tubing?
If you’re removing the bad fuel pressure regulator. Loosening the bolts is going to relieve the fuel pressure. If I remember correctly there’s not a Schrader valve on this to relieve the fuel pressure. Just use common sense loosen the bolts and wiggle the sensor then the fuel pressure will relieve itself I try to not get too technical with my videos and pull out a bunch of tools this most people do not own. So yes but if you’re just removing the vacuum hose no you do not
@@sharpcarco Actually, I learned how to depressurize in one of your older videos. Take out the fuse and start it till it stalls! Thanks for the Tribute videos. They're great!
Could you please tell me were it is located on a 2009 ford escape i just can't find it
If it’s not located on the backside of that fuel tank I’m sorry I wouldn’t know but I know it Hass to be there somewhere on the older models they didn’t have them from 2001 to 2004
This I tried this. And it didn't do that.
