skip hop and a bog
ok heres whats goin on. the yesterday my truck started charging at 18 volts so i hurried home i was 30 miles away get home park it hop in my jeep n order a new motorcraft alternator figure might aswell just replace the whole thing. so a guy about 15 miles away "30 mile round trip" had a 8.8 with 3.08 gears exactly what ive been looking for says if i come today he will sell it to me for $100 so i had to take her out i go there no problems seemed to be charging at around 16 volts got there got the rear got 1/4 of the way back it started charging at 18 volts then it started skippin and hoppin and boggin out id have to keep workin the throttle to keep it from stalling then it catch and be good for a mile or so and do it again did it about 6 times but i finaly made it home. when its started doing that the check engine light came on i forget how to check it with out the tester. also i checked the distributer cap looked good so i had the old cap sittin on the shelf and threw that one on went around the block "4 miles"and it did it again so its not that.
also when i was able to drive without it compleatly bogging down it still felt like it was bogging a little almost like a miss but not a miss
im hoping its because of the alternator and battery

Single gray terminal separate from the rest of the tester, ground it out.
If you wanna fix the truck, take the ten minutes you might spend on the internet tomorrow and pull the codes.
I really like having an obdII reader for the cars and whatever else I may end up working on, but for the truck I'll stick with the cheap way. I used a junk piece of speaker wire, put a male spade terminal on one end and an alligator clip on the other. Works every time.

ok got home early today checked my codes
im getting
22-map out of range
23-tp out of range
31-evp circuit below minimum voltage
67-clutch switch circuit failure
i replaced the map about 6 to 9 months ago with a new one but it wasnt motorcraft i forget the brand and the tp i swapped with one i had on the shelf
i have a new egr valve from my 95 that i put the position sensor from it onto my truck
all of that was done 6 to 9 months ago and had no problems till now
also my motorcraft alternator will be in tomarrow so it will start charging right
and i checked the battery full on acid

ok had off today and got some work done heres what i found
the rotor button was ****ed to the side so i put in a new cap n rotor
put in the new alternator/voltage regulator
after i was done that i pulled the battery cables wile i put a new lock actuator in the colum when i was done i reconected the cables started her up ran for 30 secs and check engine light came back on
codes now are
22 and 23
map and throttle position.
so i drove probly 10 miles or so had no problems besides a 1200 rpm idle
i havnt gotten to check the voltage on the throttle position sensor yet
but i was going to run it a few days and see if the light goes out
