FORD; as in Found On Road Dead.
Driving home from a local greenhouse with the trunk and back seat full of newly purchased annual flowering plants, the car lost power, RPM's dropped to nearly idle level, the car shuddered once or twice, then died.
It refused to restart, no dash lights until it finally stopped completely. I listened to hear the sound of the fuel pump buzzing during the restart attempts, but no sound.
It now sits at the local Dealer where the Service Dept starts at 7:00am tomorrow.
196,000+ miles and this will be the first expensive repair; assuming my self diagnosis of a failed fuel pump is correct.
