Red Raider, I took all the spark plugs and cleaned them. It started up with a little ether. It runs a little rough though. Why is the MSD parts so expesive. Is there a cheaper alternative to changing all the parts out that you suggested? It also has that shudder, herkey jerkey around the time it shifts. Is that fixable. It is around 20 to 50 mph. If i gun it, it takes off fine but when I let off the gas a little it starts to shudder until i give it a steady flow of gas. HMMMMMM Jutmac

Replying to: jutmac (Feb 07, 2009 9:52 am) Another alternative to MSD would be ACCEL, or you can go back with stock MOTORCRAFT parts. I would change the plugs, wires, coil, and dist. cap and rotor for starters. I prefer MSD for their high-end performance, but whatever you choose, all those parts should be new. I'm only a shadetree mechanic, but I've had a car that jerked before and I thought it was my transmission. Turned out to be a cracked spark plug......who would've thunk it? Remember, just because you're getting SOME spark, doesn't always mean you're getting ENOUGH spark. Stock coils put out about 38,000V....the MSD puts out 48,000V. Hope this helps. |

I have a 94 Bronco 5.8 lit, When i turn the vehicle on the engine roars at idle like it was in a full out drag race RPM's way up at idle. Once I put it drive the engine slowa itself back down, but at stop signs it revs right back up. Any suggestions? The "Check Enigne" light is not on... Help

I changed out all to MSG....had to wait for taxes to come in....I also replaced the fuel regualtor and the timing was off....now set at 10 degrees. All is well except for the herky jerky at 35 mph....it used to only do it at this speed now it does it at whatever speed, unless i trounce on it....it runs good. HERE IS THE KICKER: It does not do it when it is cold. I am sure it has something to do while on a closed loop but when it warms up back to normal...bucks and snorts....any shade tree answers..lol by the way...thanks for all your past help...and anyone is welcom to reply

Replying to: jutmac (Feb 28, 2009 1:24 pm) Glad to hear most of the problems are gone. Did you change out ALL of the spark plugs and also the spark plug wires? Sounds like we're on a role to getting you running smooth.

Replying to: redraider28 (Feb 28, 2009 7:31 pm) I did change them all out....Like i said though....it only does it when it warms up?? Someone told me that when i use my tester on the wires and plugs that a fords should show blue spark.....i show orange...any truth to this?? Everything is MSD. Someone also said it feels like a dead miss in it....do you think there could be a blown valve??/ I would like to know what you think before i do a compression check. Again...Thanks Jutmac |

Replying to: redraider28 (Dec 18, 2008 7:50 pm) With the ignition on I pushed down on that stem on the fuel rail and no fuel came out. I changed the fuel filter, checked the inertia swith, fuses, and relay. I'm thinking it has to be the fuel pump but wanted to see if you had and advice before i went out and bought one. Thanks!

Replying to: khawley (Mar 04, 2009 4:28 pm) On a side note to Redraider....the hercky jercky or "trailer-hitching" effect, as someone put it, turns out to be the torque converter in my tranny. Go figure...I knew my motor was running to smooth for something cheap and simple. HA. Thanks for all your help. Jutmac
