    What does your Idle usually sit at?

    first off, shifting without the clutch is a poor idea to begin with unless you are just pulling it out of gear.....and second off, when your putting into 3rd how rapidly does it fluctuate? granted also if your trying to put it into gear w/o the clutch, then the transmission will still be...

    What does your Idle usually sit at?

    sorry that didnt help, i agree, check fuel pressure, if thats ok, id then check to see if the IAC is sticking,(ford notorious for crappy IAC valve sticking closed) if all pass, then check compression.

    No crank / no start

    the tsb number is how it is listed in order from when the tsb was posted, ford posted that second tsb on 6/19/07, but was then changed for whatever reason once, hence double 07 to 14 for the changes. The initial tsb probably had to do with repairing the connector instead of replacing it with the...

    What does your Idle usually sit at?

    does it get worse when put into gear?(under load) If so, you either have a missing cylinder due to ignition misfire or sticking fuel injector on that cylinder, if ignition system seems ok, run some fuel injector cleaner through it, lucas or BG makes a great product.

    Altitude ?

    I would just say disconnect the battery and let it re-learn by itself, plus if you have it reprogrammed out here, you'll have to have it re-programmed again when you go back. Also, if there is any way you can try to open up the airbox to let it suck a little easier, thatl help alot...

    powerdyne ?

    Is it neccessary to get forged pistons and rods when boosting over 6psi? Or just neccessary to retard spark timing at the higher RPMs to prevent detonation?

    Who here has a shift kit w/ tranny cooler?

    just confirming that the early model 5.0s like my 96 AWD still has a 4R70W trans correct? also, my truck absolutely refuses to shift down to first, unless i come to a complete stop. would a shift kit or a power programmer be a better way to go, if you have comments i appreciate it!

    They started making the DPFE system in 96 but nly on the V6's. I have a V8, and its the last of the models with tHe EGR system. Difference is that the DPFE system is a seperae computer that calculates out-flow gas and inflow gas and changes accordingly. The EGR system is mainly mechanical...

    Just changed out DPFE (EGR possition sensor) have questions

    wait you just changed from DPFE to EGR or visa versa? If you went from EGR to DPFE I'd die for some help doing mine. My two cents would be to check the valve itself to see if its worn out or not holding a seal anymore but i dont understand the situtation completely.
