1981 Ford Rough Idle/Low Spark?
HI Guys
Great forum you got here.
I have a 1981 Ford F-150 with a straight six in it and I am having problems with it turning off on the highway and won't start. Sometimes if I wait a little it will start and somtimes it won't. I put a new ignition control box today and it seemed to have more spark but then a new problem emerged. It started idling bad. I think the turning off bit is fixed but I am not sure since I just installed the ing. box today.
Has anybody encountered this problem and what did you do to remedy it.
Thank You,
JB

Ahh, '81 that was a good year!
My first thought before the engine module was fuel delivery. Need a new fuel filter or fuel pump? Vacuum leak or kit in carb? Ranger 81 comes from my first new truck a 1981 Ford 150 Ranger Brown with cloth seat and metal roof in cab. Ah and don't forget the dog dish hub caps on white painted wheels. Anywho, good luck. R81
