Looks like the cold weather got me. Had to go out this morning to get some things done. Gas was low, so I stopped and filled up. The truck started up, but as I backed out, it stalled and would not re-start. Pushed it out of the way and waiting about 5 min and it restarted, but now I’ve got a check engine light with a message about the gas level being low. I hesitate to keep driving it, as I don’t want to get stranded somewhere in this cold.

Need to pull the codes, but after researching the Bronco6G forum, this is sounding like the beginning of a failed fuel pump. Bad timing, not only with the cold, but I have to fly to Milwaukee next week. Right now, I have an apt with the dealer for next Friday. I’ll update when I know more. So f’ing depressing.
I think there were some bad fuel pumps early. Hopefully it’s an easy fix.
Yea, the only two things would be ice in fuel lines (not common on modern cars) or a bad pump.
I’ve pulled a code for the check engine light.
P00C6 Ford Code - Fuel Rail Pressure Too Low Engine Cranking
Fuel pump is definitely a possibility, as is the fuel pump controller. I’ve ordered a spare controller to keep in the truck. Seems to be a common part defect. Although I’m only at approx 32k miles. But better safe than stranded. I can never really trust the fuel system on this truck now. There are people reporting multiplecl fuel pump failures ok the 6G forum.

Finally got it into the dealer this morning. Avis Ford on Telegraph in Southfield. They’ll check the code and also wrote it up for the shock recall and the defrost wires breaking off the back window. Probably won’t hear anything until Monday next week and I have to fly down to Mexico for work on Wed. So it could be in the shop until I return on the 14th. Hopefully this dealer does me right. I’ve never used them for service.
