denverhank,
How many miles on your '03 Ford? At 13 years maybe it just needed injectors and had nothing to do with fuel. And as others mention, the FICM is unfortunately a weak part and highly susceptible to low batteries. My '06 is on it's 3rd one, but my truck sits a lot in the winter and I sometimes forget to plug in my charger.
