I PUT A BRAND NEW MODULE AND NEW DISTRIBUTOR IN MY 86 F150 .I GOT IT ON 10" TDC AND IT DOESN'T WANT TO START UNTIL ABOUT 4 TRYS AND THEN WHEN I TURN THE DIST JUST A HAIR IT DIES WHAT IS MY PROBLEM COULD A EGR VALVE CAUSE THIS OR WHAT IS THE PROBLEM

 

Have you pulled codes?

My 86 drove me batty for weeks. turned out to be EGR and TPS. I pulled the codes. worked out nicely.

If you need any links to run the tests let me know. I know the haynes manual has them.

good luck.

 

i just got finished rebuilding a 302efi in my 86 ford and come to find out something was clogged in the fuel selector (changes front to back tank.well i was missing around w/ the switch and i got 40# fuel pressure so now im up to running for about 2 mins then it dies im about out of things to change.ive changed knock temp absolute manifold pressurenew egr valve and egr position sensors. so now im moving on to installing tps sensor now well dude hope this helped alittle good luck to ya

 

what is pulling codes ?first did you do a fuel pump test?

 

where is the fuel selector located? I think this may be my problem as you can see in my other post

thanks

 

The Comp. stores error codes if it is getting poor signals from the sensors.

Here are some links.

the selector vavle on my truck is right under the drivers side door it has 4-6 lines hooked to it but on my truck it also houses the fuel filter

 

Well on my '86 the fuel selector valve was right under the drivers side door with 6 lines, 2 on one side and 4 on the other... Basically the selector on mine works with one way valves... when one of the pumps is pushing fuel it closes off the line to the other line to the other tank... As far as dist. timing I say set it to stock then pull the codes. Use the link rustbucket provided the instructions are very accurate. Also the DLC was on the right hand side of the engine compartment right near all the vacuum solenoids...

 

well i took my truck to a mechanic and come to find out its the MAP sensor and while it was there had them replace the TPS sensor. they adjusted the detent cable to the tranny but seems to be shifting to soon
