Parnelli changed my mind...
What's going on party people? New member here giving a shout out. Decided to join after my love/hate relationship with my 2006 v6 has hit a new pinnacle.
About two years ago I was ready to give up on all things Ford until an unexpected moment of fate had me face to face with the legendary Mr. Jones himself. Spent an entire day on track with him and watching rip up the corners in his Laguna Seca Boss. Even had him sign my dash. (Don't judge me.) I was rejuvenated.
Lately I've been having some serious problems with my fuel pump that Ford itself can not even solve...(with a realistic budget in mind.) And so im finally reaching out to the pony community to see if the answer can be found.
Looking forward to it.
Cheers!

Thanks. Yeah you know every time I think I get close to figuring out the problem, I run in to a dead end.
Basically at the most random and inconvenient times, my fuel pump will decide not to prime the engine. (Engine turns but doesn't fire up.) I'm talking like, car works fine for 3 weeks straight, then one Saturday night when I got a hot date in the passenger seat, it wants to play divine intervention. After about 30-40 key turns (without starting the engine) it'll fire up again if I'm lucky. Or it won't start up for days....
So I threw on one of those SCT tuners in to the OBD port to collect some data. I don't know if its calibrated or not but if I am reading it correctly the numbers I'm seeing are as follows;
When it doesn't work - 1.35PSI for fuel pressure When it does - 50-55 PSI
Pump Cycle at 75% in both occurrences.
Right now I'm trying to build the laundry list of all the stuff I need to check.
So far I've done;
-New Fuel Pump
-New Fuel Filter
-New coded Key (One of those eBay Keys)
-PCM Flash
-Disconnected the battery for more than 10 minutes -New Battery
Some of the other forums brought up some other key factors. What do you guys think of the following?
Buggy PATS system...Valet Mode/Key...Defunct OEM Fuel Pump that needs to be replaced?...Bad ground on the fuel line...Did I copy a code from a bad transponder to begin with...Or is it as simple as a bad fuel injector or bad relay? (I find the latter hard to believe considering when it does run, it runs strong.)
Let me know your thoughts or if you guys had similar situations.

What other forums are you on?
I think I remember something like this with some 2013 GT500 owners at SVTP. I'll look it up and see what problems they had.
Have you ever found anyone with the same problem?
