Posting this here to hope that someone, somewhere can help me with this issue and I needed help yesterday. Here's the situation:
Have a 2001 e-450 with a V-10. It is a motorhome. I used it last year and had absolutely no problems. It only has 28,000 miles on it.
We are supposed to leave Friday night for camping. I tried to start it on Monday and found out the engine battery was dead ( not a big surprise ) so since the battery was about 5 years old I replaced it. Put in new battery last night.
I turned it over it started and then immediately died. And after cranking on it for a bit it acted like it was getting no fuel.
I have plenty of gas in it, the gas seems to be fine, because the generator works perfectly.
I checked the fuel pump fuse = fine, fuel pump emergency shut off = not tripped, fuel pump relay = fine. I shot some starting fluid into it and fired right back up???? So I crawled under and located a fuel filter on drivers side fram rail and replaced that. Still nothing?
Any ideas???? Hoping that maybe because it's a motorhome that there maybe another filter? Or something I'm not seeing. I would hate for it to be the fuel pump, last time I drove there were no "signs" of the fuel pump going bad.
PLEASE someone give some ideas, I'd like to still make my trip this weekend.
Thanks in advance!
