As I've posted elsewhere, I'm having trouble with the car. So far, I've eliminated the PCM and electrical issues. My question is, if the fuel filter is overdue for a change, would it cause the fuel pump to shut off, without throwing a CEL or engine code?
Since your car is a 2000 did you get the fuel pump replaced under warranty ?

10 years unlimited millage.

I have only had it for a year and a half.
Is there somewhere I can check it, other than pulling the car apart?
not sure but aren't we able to call Ford and give them like our VIN # and see if stuff like that has been replaced?

I doubt it, but I know for something like $100 you can be put onto the Ford recall list again, where they send out mail infoming you of any recalls that might be out standing or coming up.

This is exactly what I did , I went to the dealership , they ran the VIN number , told me the pump has been replaced once but not by the upddated one so they did it again for free.
Any dealer will run the VIN for you.
^^thats what i have done for front strut/shocks
Just called the local Ford Store. I was told that the pump warranty is for 10 years or 150,000 kms. New pump costs $310.00.

Your dealership isprobably a "stealership".

This campain is for all Focus 00 and 01.

Call Ford customer service , this is a safety issue .

Called a second dealer, same answer. I will try Customer service and see.
Called Ford. Very helpful young lady informed me that my car had already had it done. So, my question is, if the fuel filter is really dirty, will I get a no start situation?
^^u gotta change those guys every 20K anyways.....pretty simple job.....i did mine on the driveway
I checked our dealer ford site and this is off of the site "PROGRAM TERMS
This program provides additional coverage of the fuel delivery module (FDM) to 10 years from the original warranty start date of the vehicle, with no limit on the number of kilometres that the vehicle has been driven. This program provides one-time replacement coverage, and may be automatically transferred to subsequent owners"
