Hesistation on Acceleration & Parts Info

rossbielski · 04-25-2010, 05:27 AM

I have been having a problem with hesitation during acceleration, power loss, and a lean mixture leading to extremely low mpg. I found the problem, but I am at a loss as how to repair it. It turns out I have a hose thats worn down and it sucking in on itself.

I have purchased two different online manuals, and searched through autozone, and napa but I can't seem to find a replacement to this hose.

The following a picture of the hose I speak of...

were like a virus....were gonna take over before you know it there will only be zink yellow

but like NC said, replace the elbow and your set. though if that does not fix your issue, i would get a can of electric parts cleaner (auto parts store sells it) and give your mass air flow sensor a light spray (be gentle the element is very fragile). that's another issue with fords that silly little sensor gets dirty.

Yes got to love the "canary" yellow as my friends call it. I think I am the only one with one in all of Germany, maybe all of Europe. Thanks for all the input and information, it is much appreciated.

Nice, even in a good size US city (Miami, FL) I have only seen one other yellow one. I have also only seen one other lifted trac and that was blue so, I'm pretty sure my truck is very unique. People seem to like the Tonka decal on that back of mine also.
