My Vortech supercharged 99 Cobra randomly didn't start tonight. Drove it earlier today, parked on a slight incline and goto start it and it fires for a second and dies. After that it just cranks without starting.
There is pressure at the fuel rail, disconnect the battery, read the codes and got a P1000 for Diagnostic system not ready (or something to that effect)
I try again and after flooring the gas pedal (which is supposed to cut fuel) it starts up. I get it into the garage and smell fuel after closing the garage door. Wasn't sure if it was from the fuel that squirted out at the Schroeder valve or from excess fuel being dumped into the engine.
Is this a bad FRPS? It's been supercharged for 3 years and never did this but i know the Ford FRPS does not like to live long in boosted cars
I'm buying an FRPS since a big car event is next weekend and i'd like to rule that out as the problem, and other than changing the oil and replacing the FRPS is there anything else I should do? Thanks!
