Why won't my ford taurus start?

Going 65 down a highway then pedal to the metal the speedometer gets lower and lower until about 30 then just dies altogether… Sat on side of road trying to start it for about half an hour then it starts and goes about a mile and the exact same thing happens… Now it will not start.is it fuel pump and how can I tell

No reason to suggest it is a fuel pump problem
Check fuel pressure to test it - fuel is highly flammable

A clogged fuel filter can cause problems like that. One or the other would be my guess.

Fuel pump - Classic symptoms…

  • Why did my car start and die when put into gear? Now it won't start at all? It's a cold winter day (below zero) Car started right up! I let it run for about 2 minutes, I put it in gear and it just died. I figured it's cold out, not real surprising, but when I tried to start it again, it won't start! Turns over fine but engie won't start! Any ideas? 2003 Ford Taurus 3.0L
  • I have a 2002 Ford Taurus that won't start? It started one minute, I drove home. Later that night it just wouldn't start. It cranks and tries but fails. The pump turns on. I'm assuming it's not getting fuel. My question is what could cause it to not start. Or what would prevent fuel from getting to the engine beside the injectors and the fuel filter
  • 2001 ford Taurus won't start when its cold out? Hi, I have a car that I'm having trouble with. For awhile I could get it started in the cold weather just by hooking up a charger and it would start right away. The battery is new and at full. We think its a fuel problem, however the heater in this car doesn't work either. Any suggestions, where do I start with my trouble shooting? when the weather is warm, the car starts every time. I'm sorry, yes it does turn over.
