No Power Leaving From Red Light and Check Engine Light

This afternoon I was driving home from work and as I was pulling away from a stop light I had hardly any power and barely got it up to 30 mph. I then pulled over shut the engine off and restarted the engine. It started very hard, but once it started it ran smooth. I still didn't have any power. About 2 or 3 miles down the road the check engine light came on and I decided to stop at O'Reilly's for them to run the code. It gave a low fuel pressure code. Luckily I am still under warranty and plan on seeing if they will tow it in to the dealer tomorrow and I can pick up a loaner car after work. It actually just ticked over to 30,000 miles today on the way home. If y'all have any ideas at issues please let me know.

Check Engine Light with low FPR code? p0087? Did you also get the Wrench light? Service Advancetrak warning? Could be the fuel pump, fuel filter, or an electronic issue like a ground or resistor.

 

Also saw this TSB, though the DTCs are unrelated.

So I have picked it up and its back to purring like a kitten and running as smooth as it always has. The coolant leak was apparently a minor leak around a seal which is why it takes a few months for me to notice the reservoir was low. And apparently the fuel pump was just a defective pump. All is well on my Edge now expect its filthy on the outside due to recent rain.

This is something that should be included on the scheduled maintenance. What I found is that 2 things can happen as carbon build up, one there is a gradual loss of power or two there is a sudden loss of power under hard acceleration. The second one is the one that concerns me more because it could be dangerous if you are merging on the freeway and suddenly the vehicle losses power on goes into limo mode.

I have a 2012 edge with 2.0 eco boost engine. The engine light came on last weekend caused by the P0087 code. I took it to the dealer for diagnoses and they determined a bad High Pressure Fuel pump was the cause. The quoted $568+tax to fix which included $300 for 3 hrs of work. I considered doing it myself because that's a lot of money. I got the Chilton's service manual for the car and read thru the procedure which called for the fuel pump and the high pressure fuel line (which runs from the pump to the fuel rail) to be replaced. Nobody - including myself - wants high pressure fuel leak under their hood. I wanted it fixed right, so I decided to let the dealer make the repair. The fix was make and the car runs good, but I found out the dealer only replaced the fuel pump - two bolts and two line connections located on top of the engine. This did not take 3 hrs. My question: Does anyone know if the Ford service manual say to replace this high pressure fuel line? I feel like the dealer cut corners, but charged me for the complete job.

From thefoeyouknow (former Ford technician):

 

 

I've never done one in the field, personally, but in ecoboost school they tell you that, yes, the high pressure fuel pipe(s) are to be replaced any time they are removed. This has to do with the ball flare seal they use and the torque involved it setting the ball in the seat. It's considered to be torque to yield, like a head bolt. They're concerned with the risk of a crack in the flare or ball of the pipe. They're made of a very hard stainless tubing that doesn't prefer to bend at all. Having said that, the risk is very low, and if it was going to leak, it would have immediately. He's not in any danger of a problem arising from the failure to replace the tube.

Replacing the HPFP itself is not a big deal, but if the manual calls for replacing the pipe, and the dealer is doing things by the book, you should have gotten a new pipe installed for the price you paid. Just my 2 cents.

  1. NOTE: To release the fuel pressure in the high-pressure fuel tube, wrap the fuel injection pump flare nut with a shop towel to absorb any residual fuel pressure during the loosening of the fuel injection pump flare nut.

    NOTE: Make sure that a new high pressure fuel tube is installed.
