Engine Low Power Stall No Start (Replace Modular Fuel Sender
Assembly And Fuel Filter)

ISSUE DATE: APRIL 2003

Affected Vehicles

2000 Hombre (TH) with 2.2L Engine (8th digit of the VIN # 5-- PO L43, Flexible Fuel Engine ONLY).

Service Information

Condition:
Some customers may comment on the engine exhibiting a low power, stalling, and/or a no start condition.

Possible Cause:
A restricted or plugged modular fuel sender/pump assembly fuel strainer may result in reduced fuel flow.

Correction:
Replace the existing modular fuel sender assembly with a new assembly and the existing fuel filter with a new filter. The new modular fuel sender assembly is equipped with a larger mesh strainer and the new fuel filter is designed to filter not only the fuel directed to the engine, but also the fuel being returned to the fuel tank. When replacing the modular fuel sender assembly, a new sender to tank seal will also be required.

Service Procedure

When replacing the required components, follow the applicable service procedure in the 2000 Hombre service manual.
