Do you have to pump the gas pedal to start a car?
Pumping your car and repeatedly i.e. letting the throttle come to a rest on the ISC plunger may jar a bad/stuck motor loose, permitting the vehicle to start. Here’s a way to check this: try cold starting your vehicle with your foot slightly depressed on the accelerator pedal (about 1/4 of the way down).
How long does it take for fuel pump to kick on?
When you first turn the key to the “On” position, listen for the fuel pump to kick on for 2 seconds before you attempt to start the vehicle. If it doesn’t kick on, the fuel system won’t prime until the oil pressure switch closes (after about 5 seconds of cranking).
Why does my car squeak when I push the gas pedal?
Squeaks alot, but moves. squeaking is OK. pushing the gas pedal to the floor puts the computer into “clear/flood mode” where the injectors will not pulse. it’s used when the vehicle is flooded–not to squirt extra gas.

What happens if you pump the gas pedal before you turn the key?
At this point, pumping the “air” pedal before you turn the key does nothing. You might as well wave chicken bones over the ignition. Trying to “give it gas” when you turn the key to start it is actually messing with the computer’s “plans” for getting it running – because you’re allowing in more air then is supposed to go.
Why do you need to press the gas pedal before starting the car?
This was necessary because the carb does not feed fuel properly at low (starting) RPM. A cold engine also needs a little extra fuel to compensate for questionable vaporization at low temperatures. The fuel injection system does nothing until the engine is turning (starting or running), so pressing the pedal before you start will make no difference.
How can I tell if my fuel pump is working?
To diagnose the fuel pump, an amp clamp is placed over the positive pump-wire. Next, start the vehicle and use a voltmeter to set and record the amperage reading. Then, compare the recorded readings to the manufacturer’s defined specification.
Can a plugged fuel filter cause a fuel pump to fail?
These symptoms can also occur with a plugged fuel filter, failing fuel pump, or faulty PCM. In the event you have these symptoms, it is best to have the entire fuel system inspected by a qualified Ford fuel system technician.
