Before I start just replacing $hit......Some times my fuel pump doesnt run when I hit the key. I have to cycle it a few times before it build presure. I am going to change the pump because it is loud and probably has been in tank since 1990. Either way, sound like anything else? e.g. relay, ignition?

That's kind of hard to say. It's probably the relay given the age. A pump generally runs or not. If you've ever run the car out of gas, that can damage the pump. Miles & age can do it too. Ignition has nothing to do with the pump. Pull the hose off of the regualtor & smell for gas. A sure sign of a bad regualtor.

Ive had problems with relays before, its good to have a few spares just incase.
I just got back from a Christmas party at my friends house (has an 01 Cobra). I had him hit the key when I was by the trunk, it is running but very low. It takes 3 cycles of the key. Just a week fuel pump! I have a new 155 and fuel filter I will put in tomorow after xmas shopping!

It was 100% the fuel pump. Looks like it was the stock Ford as well (155K miles). I put a 190 in, runs MUCH better. Its nice not hearing a fuel pump over the exhaust. I think I am still high from the gas fumes....

No, I put a Walbro 190 LPH in. I just went for a ride (xmas shopping) and my engine temp is way down. Could this thing have been running lean enough to make my engine temp high??? It is truly much lower.Originally Posted by N8Miller

I replaced my fuel pump a couple months ago. It was the original stock pump. I put a 255 BBK (walbro) in and it is running great.
