    So I assume a small amount of fuel is coming through, but not a measurable amount. do the test I said in previous postAlso I am NOT your BRO. I find that comment to be disrespectful and unnecessary With that said Done here. Good luck. Hope you solve your problem

    1989 F250 4X4 5.8 Liter No fuel at fuel rail.

    Because the fdm is shutting off the fuel flow. the high pressure pump can't supply fuel the the rail if it can't pull it thrpugh the modual.Ok, so let's explain what this thing is. there are no check valves in this fuel system. so when you switch from rear to front the fdm switches where the...

    1989 F250 4X4 5.8 Liter No fuel at fuel rail.

    the fuel delivery modal is bad. it's the part in the frame where the 4 lines come in, 2 lines go out, then it goes to high pressure pump. here is a picture of the system when I was building my F 350It is the round can looking thing to the left. You will find it is not rebuildable, and is...

    Problem with fuel tank switch over valve.

    They are not check valves, but are pressure regulators to keep from blowing out the check valves. If you put those on a 87-89 you will have a real problem as that IS NOT THE PROBLEM.the recalls were for 92-97 which has a check valve in the fuel pump. Those turcks have a 2 pump high pressure in...

    1988 F250 351W starter heatsoak?

    Make sure to use a 94 wiring harness for the battery. It comes with the hot wire from battery to starter, battery to solenoid. also has a new trigger wire, half the size of the original.Have done this swap on 3 of my bricks. The 90 351 starts so fast I doubt the flywheel goes all the way...

    97 F250 HD 460 question?

    AIR leans out the heads and cat. Eventually you will carbon up the valves. It will also cause your fuel mileage to drop. There is a silicon hose kit that is available for patching rusted or damaged heat pipes on cat or AIR systems.I would replace it

    The Case of the 12 Year Fuel Filter

    Someone has put a 85-91 filter in there. 92 to present is longer so you can get the tool in there.You have to cut the filter off between the rib and the line, then put the tool in the line and grab what remains of the filter line with a pair of needle nose pliers. The springs that hold the...

    Temperature gauge erratic

    You have to run until the thermostat opens. If you run on warm up you are not running the whole system, only through heater core, and top end {and in your case 5.8 throttle body} until it opens. once it opens the heads and block become involved

    Temperature gauge erratic

    My exhaust tester is a dollar bill. idle the truck/car. Walk back and hold the dollar bill by the edge, take it near the pipe. It should flap and try to blow it away. If it flaps and sucks it in and flaps you have a miss on a cylinder.
