Ford Vehicles: Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Replacement P0191

[@lw1913]

I’m sitting in the dealer right now watching this video. I was curious about this thing and how to change it. They just charged me $350 to change it. I actually watched them change it. It was a new girl and she did it less than 10 mins! Ugh! I could have done it. This video was very helpful.

[@abdulmumin6251]

Wtf

[@lw1913]

Abdul Mumin yeah. I was so ticked off. That’s was a lot of money. I could have done it myself. :(

[@abdulmumin6251]

Well I had a similar problem to yourself. I went and bought the part. When my mechanic went to change it he told me the part that's all on looks quite new basically he made the call without even checking. In the end he noticed there was alot of worn out wiring that he basically taped up cleaned out the RD valves charged me $70 at first I thought it cost me so much more. Maybe I paid him $20 more but to be honest I got a refund on the unwanted part so far so good.

[@akanecortich8197]

The problem with diagnosing faults is the ECM will adjust Injector fuel input on O2 sensor data. Thus if the Pressure Sensor is Over estimating the rail Pressure then less fuel gets injected creating a lean burn. BUT The 02 sensor picks up lean, ECM increases fuel injection to compensate the lean condition. And your Long Term Fuel Trims rise, the car runs normally as the defficiency in fuel input has been quietly rectified. The Only clue you get is high LTFT with no apparent reason. Your mileage doesn't change as you are not using more fuel, just an adjustment to input the correct amount of fuel. And the LTFT will likely be similar across all engine loads, whereas vacuum leaks Trims are worse at low loads and get better. Even if the fuel regulator on a high pressure pump is faulty, the rail pressure sensors feedback to the ECM increases the regulator operation to get the pressure up, so you are unaware unless the regulator goes really bad and can't keep up. So if you have high LTFT across all engine loads, the car runs normally, the MAP sensor is fine, then the fuel rail pressure sensor is the likely problem. Now if you have to pay the cost of removing the intake manifold to get at the sensor to test pressure test it...well you may as well put a new one in while you are there...and maybe test the injectors as well. Especially if your car has done a lot of miles.

My mother in law and I thank you, so simple. Great straight for clear speaking well lit video. Saved over $300.00 with actual original equipment!

[@jacobtyner1859]

Hey man, 5yrs later this video helped me out! Thank you!

[@MrTicoscen]

To fix: "Idles worse when warmed up." 2 problems on my ZX3. 1. Collapsed PCV line at idle. 2. Fuel rail pressure sensor diaphragm was leaking gas INTERNALLY. No visible leaks outside. It's internal. This extra gas was flooding the car at idle. I replaced the coil, plugs and wires too but that problem remained even after the vacuum line PVC line was replaced. The fuel rail pressure sensor leaking internally was it for sure because it leaks gas into the intake manifold via the vacuum line attached to it. Thusly, flooding the car at idle when warm with too much gas. Rough idle when warm is now fixed!! No more rough idle. That pressure sensor controls the fuel pumps speed. If faulty, you get too much fuel pressure AND gas leaking through the diaphragm. Car runs rough at idle and/ or dies and because its too rich.

[@macknumber9]

What kind of fuel pressure were you getting? I'm getting 65psi on my scan tool.

[@xyz-yf2kr]

@@macknumber9 That's what I read too.

[@spelunkerd]

Very professional video, thanks for posting. When you broke the vacuum by removing the sensor starting at 4:31, fuel poured out the open fuel line on the upper right. I suppose most wouldn't have that line apart. It would have been nice to see how you proved the sensor was bad -- diagnostics will always be the weakest point for those of us who learn here on the net.

This video worked and saved me from going to a mechanic. Great and easy steps and I had my new sensor installed in a few minutes. My car now runs so much better than before.

Gidday Brian. After the repair; is the process of Clearing the PCM's Memory" a necessity. There was no mention of post-repair. Many thanks mate - you provide an invaluable service to the average Joe.

[@edwardpinsent2101]

I so much appreciate your efforts in providing professional information to the many of us who , although we have good mechanical skills, would never take on such a "previously" difficult / impossible task. With your info and links, I purchased a NEW Bosch part on line for $70 (Canadian), purchased a code reader for $80.00 (Can), and replaced the fuel sensor in less than 30 minutes start to finish. Error cleared. When, will my For* dealership realize that an estimate of $400 part + diag fees + install ... is simply unwarranted. I didn't want to purchase the DEALERSHIP, I just wanted to clear the CheckEngine light. Thank you very much and keep up the great videos.

Hey Great video, can these sensor and sensors in general randomly work (intermittently) ? my ford seemed to work after a shop replaced a fuel pump and and fuel pump module 2006 e150. and then 2 days later I lost power again and stalled. and stayed in that mode until I was towed home. Then it seemed to work again. and a day later lost power again. Also would one of these sensors prevent me from starting it?

Help please, I just bought a Motorcraft sensor for 2008 Ford Explorer number, (CM-5229) it’s a 4.0 engine. The first one I took out was a Bosch , and the second one I bought was a Bosch also. I’m just comparing the Motorcraft (I just bought)with the reading on the 1st bosch and I noticed, that the Bosch has the same numbers and the Ford logo and they’re made in Germany. So what’s the difference??

2007 ford explorer fuel rail sensor, replaced twice, replaced connector, still having issues with trouble code P0193, and need further insite to other remedy to resolve this issue. my code reader when vehical is operating the pressure stays constant and does not flutuate at all at 72.?? PSI throughout idle and increased engine throttle. any suggestions on what else should be evaluated for correct function.

[@Clovistoolsdotcom]

Here is a lesson people can learn by my mistake. I purchased one from ebay for 23.00 which is 1/3 of the price and we pulled mainfold off ect and was alot of work to get to this part in a 4.0. Anyways less then a week it failed and disaster struck with the fuel being sucked up threw FPS hose to manifold to each piston or valves so when I tried to start fuel was shooting out the muffler and the smell of gas so I kepted cranking not knowing what is going on until the engine stop cranking and I knew something was damaged probably bent valves. I had it towed home we took all apart again and when we pulled manifold off gallons of fuel came out the valves were filled over the top pulled the plugs and fuel was coming out of 3 of them, it was a disaster but I finally got it all dried out and purchased one from local auto parts place for 115 and installed so far after a few weeks nothing but was a valuable lesson that cheaper part costed me 80 more for another part oil,plugs at 50 and labor I paid out was 200 to a friend so that was a bargin, was it worth it, no way never again..

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Wow that's bad! That is why I link to the Ford part on amazon they are only like $55 instead of over $100.

[@Clovistoolsdotcom]

Yes it was a nightmare and we needed the part that day so we went to Pepboys and they are 115 and was a lesson for sure not that a namebrand part would not fail but the odds on that are slim versus ebay, you just do not know what your really getting and I have seen this part for 15.

Thank you for the great video! I noticed that it was a 4 wire sensor, every piezo sensor that I have seen on all makes is a 3 pin. VRef, ground, and signal. Is the 4th wire a Fuel temp signal line? The reason I ask is because the sensor probe looks just like a thermistor. Thank you FordTechMakuloco

[@joeb.762]

Ok , let me get this straight. You say it’s ok to leave the negative battery terminal connected while working on a pressurized fuel rail that you did not depressurize before opening? 🔥 🔥

[@FordTechMakuloco]

yes

[@bryancofer8710]

Also check the driver module in the trunk. I had a 2010 Mustang that produced a P0191 code so I changed the FRP. No luck. Then checked driver module and found it under water because the drain troughs were clogged up and the spare tire well was full of water.

[@Randomm504]

After replacing and checking for leaks is it normal to smell gas inside the car. I also had the defrost on if that makes a difference

[@eduardovance524]

Keep up the good work bud. Excellent teaching!!!

[@jeffflowers729]

6:14 be careful with the dielectric grease, it's not conductive. It's an electrical insulator. It shouldn't really be put directly on mating surfaces of electrical contacts.

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Never an issue, you could sqeeze an entire tube of grease onto a battery terminal for example and never have a problem.

[@jeffflowers729]

madMX96 I did so much to this truck it's insane. I had codes before that code. It took a bit to figure it out that it messed up more than just that. I did the fuel rail pressure sensor which was super easy (when I got that code) If you hear the fuel pump kick on when you just turn the key (it shouldn't be super loud) then that's fine. After all the parts (fuel filter, fuel pump module, spark plugs, transmission fluid and filter, when it stalled the first time I took it to ford and it needed an imrc solenoid, I did the fuel rail pressure sensor, intake manifold, and finally new catalytic converters on drivers side. And all problems are gone. It has balls and doesn't stall, spit, sputter, or hesitate.

There appairs to be a leak on your right end of the rail...

[@peteross2293]

as i was running a diagnostic on my 2008 ford escape i noticed engine load is at 30% , is that due to a bearing on a pulley driven part starting to seize?

[@FordTechMakuloco]

No they all say that

[@lazarogarcia1003]

I have to replace that on my car shortly what type of Grease did you use

[@jeremyv4636]

Great information and very thorough-thanks, man!

[@thorhammer6040]

The fuel line is off the end of the rail. It leaked back there when the sensor came out.

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Yup broke the vacuum and it leaked out. This fuel rail pressure sensor was part of a much bigger repair due to a lightning strike.

I have a 2009 F150 4.6 liter. I'm having a power loss issue. I had it to a mechanic he changed the fuel filter and it didn't make a difference. He put it on his scanner and no codes are showing. The truck runs fine at start up seems to take the fuel no problem. The problem is when the engine has a load on it. If you step on the pedal it's like nothing is there. I'm going to make an appointment at the dealer. Is there anything you can suggest that may be the problem?

[@chidiuche754]

Please how did you fix it? Having same issue

[@sunsteve1]

Hi,FTMakuloco is it normal fuel pressure at 30 psi on ford expedition 2002 5.4L? if doesn't what should need to be replace? thank's.

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Engine Running kPa (psi) 193-310 (28-45) Key On Engine Off kPa (psi) 242-310 (35-45

[@akellorashid7647]

Thanks for the lesson; it was very well done.

We have been driving around for almost a month now with the sensor unplugged. I'm disappointed in those boys at "Oil Stop" they were the ones fiddling around with the engine when l take it in for oil change. Do I plug it back in when engine is cold ? Or ' should I leave it disconnected ? "It TICKS me off, customers spend good money for simple services. we give them business so they can have a decent job, and somehow they still screw up ! Last time that splashed dirty engine oil all underneath exhaust manifolds on my new car. I still get that smell of burnt oil. They said sorry, but how does that help me and the value of my new car ? I got off track, do l just plug the fuel pressure sensor back in , and leave it ??

[@bluejack644]

My 2004 escape 3.0 doesn't have one of those anywhere I can find, it's just not there anywhere on the engine likevit is in all the videos. So what do I change to fix a p0001? Is mine integrated into the fuel pump?

[@jasontorian5046]

(2007 Navigator) i have changed pump...COP plugs starter ....truck runs well but has a looong crank now...sometimes 2 attempts to start ...long enough where folks ask if I'm good. Could this be my problem?...causing it to loose pressure in the line until it rebuilds????
