1990 f150 stumped. Need help
Hey everyone
I really need some direction here. I've done a tune up. Checked drive shaft. Brakes. And changed fluids. My truck will hesitate when putting in gear, in any direction. Reverse. Drive or park. Sometimes when I stop it almost feels like it goes into neutral, and it won't move unless I really give it some gas and rev the engine. It will also hesitate and shake at times when driving and changing gears. It almost feels like it only happens when I am coasting and press on the gas, like the engine is catching up to the speed? It is a automatic. The last symptom is that at times when slowing down I hear a rattle and it feels like the rear will shake and hesitate. Like it's having trouble downshifting. Ok. I think that's it. Thank you in advance for the help |
What did your tuneup include? Did the problem exist before the tune up? Mileage?

Thanks hanky.
Let me give you some background since I am fairly new to auto repair. I bought it about 3 years ago for 700$. I did all body repairs myself. Changed alternator. Battery. All fluids and had transmission inspected. Wheels and tires. Cleaned the engine. Shocks. New power steering pump. Belt. I recently did a full ac repair to get it back working again. And the hesitation seems to be more noticeable since then. I cleaned all the spark plugs since they are not very old. But I have new plugs and wires on the way. The rattle and downshift shake has always been there. I believe it had 185,000 miles on it. Since it definitely doesn't just have 85,000 and it doesn't read over 100. I know I have a leak in the exhaust. But funds are a little low at the moment. I've done most repairs myself and am fairly competent, it's diagnosis where I get hung up. I'm just kind of out of places to start looking. And it's not giving codes. Thanks. Dave |
