Strange but true…i will keep this as brief as possible and answer questions if i leave anythign important out. Car is a 2001 Escape with the v-6 auto with 75000 miles. Up until this past summer it has been pretty reliable…here is the story: Driving home after the car was parked for a week a…

Thanks for joining us. Hopefully we’ll get some answers from both yourself and the OP after your respective mechanics have found the root cause.

Sorry for the delay in responding…as the dealer had my car for almost two weeks i had nothing to report. Here is where i stand… I picked up the vehicle saturday 1 week ago…i politely told them that i was not going to pay the bill for the replacement fuel pump $380, until i was 100% sure the problem…

Its bad to move this thread from a EGR problem to a brake problem. How low was the resivoir?(was it empty?)just being low will not cause you to have no brakes. Do you suspect a brake fluid leak? No connection between your EGR problem and your brake problem.Perhaps you state why you see a connection …

I can’t believe that replacing the fuel pump has fixed the problem of the EGR valve being explosively (and literally) burst. We were told that the fuel pump pressure was far too high. The fix was to change the fuel pump?!!! That, still, doesn’t make sense. The fuel pump output pressure is controlle…

I’m not going to ask for brake assistance here…i only brought it up to give an update of the car. I will drive it to my regular mechanic and have that fixed. And then drive another week with the car before paying for the fuel pump.

Well you can at least tell us why you think your brake problem is related to your EGR problem,we have been working with you on this.

Here is a drawing, from Auto Zone’s site, of the Fuel Pressure & Temperature sensor. Ask your mechanic to look at the engine and tell us if he sees this sensor on your engine, or not: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/repairinfo/repairguide/repairGuideContent.jsp?fromSearchPage=true&pageId=0900c152…

Sorry, i was thinking i was not supposed to bring this into the mix…but when my egr valve blew and i was driving home, one of the problems with driving that the blown egr valve caused was that the brake pedal would go to the floor before grabbing. I was told this was because the brake pressure was v…

The EGR has its vacuum source and the brake boster has its vacuum source not the same,I can’t see where this could go. I don’t think the Dealer would deliver you your car with the boster inoperative,how could they test drive it? Certainly if they released your car to you with the boster inop you wou…

I was told that the fuel pump had the fuel pressure regulator built into it…and that is why he had to replace it. I plan on bringing the car in to have brake work done by my regualr mechanic (noh the dealer) I will have him look it over…
