1993 ford f150 ignition question
I have a 1993 ford f150 4x4 5.8 liter 351 windsor. what is the best plugs and wires and cap and rotor to use on my truck?
also I am having problems with my truck..here is the problem first thing in the morning when I start my truck up it will start fine but after it warms up and I shut it off and then when I go back to start it up it takes bout 3 crank attempts then it starts what could cause this I do have new spark plugs and wires on it...what can I do to fix this? |
What kind of miles are on the clock?
An off spec ECT (coolant temp sensor) could be telling the computer the engine is still cold and providing extra fuel when it isn't really needed. When possible and $$$ permits , usually do best with Motorcraft plugs and wires etc. They don't always have to be purchased from a dealership many auto stores carry Motorcraft line. |
also with my truck if I hold the gas petal down it will start right up
|
is msd good to run on my truck for plug wires cap and rotor? I want to run motorcraft but don't have the money and found wires cap and rotor in msd that I can afford
|
where is the coolant temp sensor located
|
also could the fuel pressure regular cause this problem?
|
I hope you are not planning on changing the coolant temp sensor without checking it out. What if that part is good?
The coolant temp sensor is located on the lower intake manifold section in a T fitting just above the thermostat mounting. Usually a defective fuel pressure regulator will allow extra fuel to get into the system all the time, but Better way is to do the tests with the right equipment. |
237,000 miles.....how do i check the coolant temp sensor and the fuel pressure regular?..i want to figure out this problem fast its getting annoying
|
what else could cause this problem I need help any help would be greatly appriated
|
There are two other things that could cause this problem and they are the TPS, throttle position sensor and the Idle air control valve. How far down do you have to hold the throttle pedal in order to get it to start?
|
all the way down but I think I got the problem fixed today I replaced my distributor cap and rotor today and it seems to be starting fine ill let you know by the end of the day if the problem is fixed
|
I replaced the distributor cap and rotor today because it was wore out and it seems to be starting fine now ill let you know by the end of the day if its still starting good
