| This is a tuff one. I know of one guy that this happened to, it turned out to be something wrong with the vacuum modulator in the auto trans. Putting it in gear changed something and it opened the vacuum wide open....or some such thing. Check all the vacuum lines, see if yours has any type of electric or vacuum solenoid/plunger thingy up on the carb that shoul up the idles when placed in gear ! This is tuff so keep playing with it.....bet its something simple like a lose vacuum line etc ! | |

1988 Ford F150 ignition. When key is turned, excessive play in the turn and no electrical contact made to spin starter. Examination by mechanic showed battery and connections to be ok, starter to be functioning, solenoid to be ok, starter switch to be ok. Replaced ignition lock cylinder hoping to eliminate looseness in ignition, but discovered that there appears to be side to side movement in the actuator rod leading from the ignition lock down to ignition switch on bottom of steering column.The mechanic found that the truck had been converted to an automatic transmission which probably changed the steering column in some way significant but not obvious. Is there some sort of retaining device or stabilizing retainer for that actuator rod that would prevent sideways movement of the actuator rod (which prevents the spring loaded appearance of the ignition lock from the start position)? Perhaps somewhere hidden just below the ignition lock under the steering column covering? Also, where is the transmission neutral switch located? I suspect that it is either non functioning or perhaps needing adjustment. Is there any other area to investigate that could cause a non start situation?

| How do I find the year of the motor? The air cleaner says 460 but I don't think that was available for 1972. | |

I have a 1982 F150, Straight 6 with automatic transmission with the following problem. With engine running but sitting in park the wipers, turn signals, emergency flashers and heater fan do NOT work. I put the vehicle into Drive and the wipers start working but the turn signals, emergency flashers and heater fan still do NOT work. With the Engine OFF but the ignition key turned to On, the wipers, heater fan, emergency flashers and turn signals all Work. This is clearly some kind of electrical problem but I don't know where to look or start.

I have a 1987 Ford F150 (4.9 300ci FI 4x4. 4 speed manual) I have a problem when it warms up it starts choking and stalling.. I replaced the fuel filter because I thought it had some trash in the tank but It still stalls when it gets warm. I am sure I have enough gas but I am lost. Could it be the Rotor cap and button?. I dont think it is the catalytic convert. for it doesnt glow when hot. Can some one help?
