Hi, Our 1996 Ford Windstar has been running fine. Replaced the engine about 6 months ago, has maybe 10,000 miles on I guess. A mont ago went to start it and heard no fuel pump cut on. It sat for a few weeks, I added new fuel, fuel cleaner, checked the emergency shut off switch. Next morning, it started right up and ran for weeks. Now, it stopped again and don;t hear fuel pump cut on again. what to check first before replacing fuel pump? Isn;t there a module of some sort that might be causing this problem? Thank you.
