If your Fusion is difficult to start, a bad fuel pump would probably not be the place to start looking, especially if you are’t getting a fuel related trouble code. This because there’s not enough fuel pressure to properly atomize the fuel as it enters the combustion chamber.

If you get P0420 or P0430 trouble codes with a scanner, it very well may be the catalytic converter causing these symptoms.

Both conditions will make the motor feel like it is running out of wind when you hit the gas. Now, a bad fuel pump can also feel a heck of a lot like a bad catalytic converter. That’s what it feels like with a bad fuel pump. Typically, if you are heading up a hill (or accelerating) the engine may start to feel like it is just running out of steam.

The bad news is that they cost a lot in terms of labor to repair and replace. The good news is that fuel pumps are inexpensive. While being in the fuel tank makes the pump more reliable, it also makes it a lot more difficult to get to. It is in the fuel tank because “pushing” fuel to the fuel rail is easier than “pulling” the fuel, which is what an inline pump would do. In modern fuel injected vehicles, the fuel pump sits right in the fuel tank and “pushes” the gasoline to the fuel rail(s). With that in mind, most of the symptoms of a bad fuel pump revolve around the vehicle stalling out or not running at all. Without gas your Fusion will not run at all.
