Well I was having a normal day at work (I work at a local repair shop) then I pull in a 2000 ford focus with 20k on it for an oil change. A little old lady drives it. Change the oil, check the fluids and clean it up, put some new wiperblades on it and back it out, all is fine and dandy. She comes back 2 min after she left her car is making a noise, so I pull it back in. The ****ing coil spring broke on the front passenger side. At least she realized that it was nothing we did to it and decided to get 2 new quick struts and sway bar links for the front. We give her a ride home since the parts would not be here till the next day (this was wensday).
The next day I pull it back in and put the struts and links on everything goes fine. Go to start the car and it cranks, put is not getting fuel. I figure ok I tripped the inertia switch on the passenger side floor. Sure enough it was tripped I reset it prime the pump a few times and it fires. I shut it back off to finish writing the repair order and then go to back it out. ****er is not getting fuel again. Recheck the switch its not tripped. Spent 2 hours tracing wires and checking modules all pointed to a bad fuel pump. Normally I would not have spent all that time on it, but it ran fine when I pulled it in so I assumed the pump had to be fine and I had to of grounded something out while checking the inertia switch. Well we raise it back up hit the tank a few times with a rubber mallet and it finally starts. The ****ing fuel pump locked up. So all in all she needs a new fuel pump soon. **** ford focuses, it turned a cake jump into a huge pain in my ass. Hope you had fun reading my book.
