Hey guys,
Just finished putting a 1993 5.0 HO in a 1991 Explorer.
When the engine first starts it revs up to about 1800 rpm, then brings itself down gradually... all without me touching the accelerator. Throttle response is excellent, and it idles like a dream at 900 rpm. This tells me that ignition, timing advance, vacuum, computer, etc is all up to snuff (I think).
As soon as I put the truck in gear, it stalls. Can't even keep it running if I floor it - it just bogs down and dies (although the tires 'chirp' first).
I've thought about the EGR and IAC but I don't think that's the problem. All the sensors, injectors, etc are brand new.
Maybe I need to swap the torque converter? (ugh)
Any thoughts?
