Q: Where to troubleshoot fuel issue?

asked by on January 01, 2017

Hey yall. Thanks for the add.

Have a issue going on.. 07 ford f150 147000 miles. Issue started yesterday. Went out and it would continue to turn over trying to start. Sounded like it was not getting fuel. Reset the fuel pump reset still would not start. So my husband pumped the footfeed and then held it down to the floor and it started. It continues to start fine however the check engine light came on tonight and we pulled the code and got p0191 which is the fuel rail pressure sensor. Anyone else have this happen? Been told it is that sensor the fuel pump pressure module or the fuel pump?

My car has 147000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
