I have a 2001 F-150 4.2L V6. Just replaced the oil pump. And have been having issues starting. (Even before changing oil pump). It'll crank like normal but doesn't turn over. Any ideas are greatly welcome.

So the engine spins, but it does not fire up? At all? Occassionally? Turn the key on a listen for the fuel pump to pressurize.

Yes engine spins but does not fire up. Occasionally it does fire up. After i replaced the oil pump it fired right up. I let it fun for a few min and tried to start it again and it wouldn't start

Sounds like low fuel pressure I would check that and get back to us! Originally Posted by '01FordF150

Fuel pressure is fine. So I thought to check the battery. I took the battery from my wifes car and put it in the truck and its started every time. O'reilys said the battery is good however im not so sure.
