T Williams I had to replay the video to be sure. It’s “Colossus” performed by Scan Globe , it’s German, I downloaded from Free Music Archive. Com before they changed ownership, it’s in the class Kraut Rock. If you’d to hear more of a similar style , check out my parkour video LADY KILLERS, it was originally used there along with several other interesting cuts from Free Music Archive. Thanks again for asking , I enjoy that infectious tune

My truck runs fine, it warms up, then stalls. cranks, and cranks over. It cools down runs fine. I rebuilt the entire electrical system, new fuel filter, new ignition switch under the steering column. Can’t figure it out. It will start with a miss at partial throttle, sometimes if I floor it, it will clear up, and run. other times it just dies. crank and crank. let it sit, it starts right back up. The engine light doesn’t come on, it does work though. 1995 ford f250 351w 143k original. Everything is original on the truck

The computer has two operating mode open loop ( cold engine) and Closed Loop ( operating temperature). What I believe is happening is when the engine reaches operating temperature the computer takes over and begins adjusting the fuel controls and based on sensor data ( possibly faulty sensors) it’s adjusting the fuel too much ( too lean or too rich) and stalling the engine. There are other causes too , perhaps a clogged exhaust! Over heating will shut the engine down , and of course as it cools it allows it to restart. Check you exhaust for flow, check your spark plugs for soot, and check your cooling system for proper level and ensure no vapor locks ( air bubbles ) stopping coolant flow

Does the TPS affect shifting on E4OD? I wonder if this would improve my sluggish shifting as well...

Test your TPS with a multimeter . The TPS has a direct connection to the engine performance and therefore will directly affect the transmission through the ECM ( computer) .

Hi sir .I got a 1987 bronco w only 75 k miles. It works fine it just feels really slow I have to hit the gas pedal hard is that normal?I replace the TPS and still doing the same.It does not have a catalytic converter..so do you think the oxygen sensor works even with out tge catalytic converter. Thanks

@normanpaulife

Жыл бұрын

The oxygen sensor is up stream of the ( missing) catalytic converter, so yes it’s sensing as designed. No it should not lag. It should have quite a bit of power and acceleration. Start with the basics, oil, spark plugs , cap and rotor, air filter. And Fuel filter !!! Then look for vacuum leaks. My experience says many emission sensors are probably not functioning properly. There’s an inexpensive Ford OBD 1 tester you can buy to guide your sensor testing choices

Check your EGR system , your computer is compensating for something that is not working properly. It’s increasing the idle speed to prevent stalling. I recently found the the EGR solenoid seized solid, it’s an easy test. First of all it’s mounted on a metal bracket forward of the ignition coil, if you remove the hoses and blow through the bottom port it should be closed and when energized with 12 volts it would open to allow free flow ( of vacuum) . I will build a video of it, I recorded the tear down, and cleaning to show a possible fix. The part is $55.00 so test and clean if possible. If you need more info fell free

@normanpaulife

Double check your signal voltage, from your ECM, I Believe it’s the center pin and most likely 5 volts . If the input is high, you have an ECM ( computer ) problem that needs to be corrected first. Check the wires for opens, shorts to grounds and especially in your case a short to power !

I’m sorry I don’t have that answer, I checked the factory service manual, the only setting is an Adjustment Screw for WOT , wide open throttle. The throttle plates close and seal there’s no gap like engines of earlier time. The IAC controls the idle by metering the air through an orifice and it’s controlled by the computer

The TPS on the truck is on the bottom and completely inaccessible. Many others the TPS is on the top. It has Phillips head screws , “IF” it was possible to remove it with a right angle screwdriver or apex bit, the time it would and risk of stripping the screws would certainly not be worth it. If it was a bet , or a challenge I could probably do it. I was aircraft mechanic for 26 years in the Air Force , replaced much more challenging things because you can’t just remove a Jet Engine to replace a simple component.

Whoever put the tps on last put it on wrong and you installed it wrong too. The ford FSM says on the 5.0 and 5.8 the wiring coming out of the tps should face the IAC you went the other way, just letting you know and others so they install it correctly .

Hi Norman, how did you diagnose that the TPS and IAC were bad to begin with? Seems like those same symptoms you listed could also be caused by bad ignition parts, so you probably ruled that stuff out somehow. Could you let me know. I have a rough idle on my 96 and trying to come up with a plan for repair. Thanks.

Rule out the ignition first, by testing or replacing, that engine was a brand new rebuild. I tested the TPS with with a volt meter, the tps is variable resistor, as the throttle is opened and voltage moves linearly. If it drops, flat spots etc it’s bad. The IAC is a choke , If the truck runs rich or stalls after warm up etc it good indication your IAC is sticky. IAC is a motor
