#45 of 71 Re: 1982 F150 Electrical Problem [dglarson] by ckelton489 Jun 08, 2008 (3:39 pm)
Replying to: dglarson (May 17, 2008 5:21 am) i would start with the steering column i too had the same prob but never acted exactly like that..just some of the stuff didnt work then not realizin it they did work but not thinkin bout it at the time....i just pulled off the steering wheel and started cleanin all the contacts. then everything worked and never had a prob since, now granted this may not fix all of ur probs but it should help alot plus theres not alot of work and its cheap to do.

Replying to: tweetybyrd505 (Jun 27, 2007 9:22 pm) Hi Tweetybird, Many of the starters produced require a strap (usually copper) which goes under the Battery Positive lead to the solinoid terminal. This supplies power to the ignition system complete and provides power to the solonoid. Without this strap nothing will work (other than jump starting as you have indicated. Install the strap should solve your problem. Mike9408
#49 of 71 Re: F100 Negative Coil Wire [kjmac1] by mike9408 Jun 20, 2008 (8:27 am)
Replying to: kjmac1 (Oct 31, 2006 7:43 am) I realise this is an old posting but to clear it up for anyone else out there...The Positive side of the coil comes from the ignition switch (when you turn the switch on it sends power to the coil). The negative side of the coil (while it may appear to go inside the cab) eventually ends up connecting to the Distributer. If you run this wire to a common ground you will either burn up the wiring or burn a fuseable link somewhere in the system. Good luck. Mike9408
#50 of 71 Ford 302 Miss by crabmanlan Jun 27, 2008 (8:51 am)
My 86 Ford F250 302 TBI has developed a hard "miss" upon accelleration. It runs well at idle, at any speed reached by slow accelleration but upon hard accelleration as in passing or on a steep hill it missess hard like no fuel or no spark. It will continue to do so until you let off. There is occasionally a Pop.   Any thoughts?   Lanny
#51 of 71 Re: My '85 F-150 won't accelerate normally [trobertc] by csnover Aug 03, 2008 (7:56 pm)
Replying to: trobertc (Jun 03, 2008 10:56 am) I'm guessing you have fixed this problem by now but if not...When I had my 87 ford and I would try to floor it the same thing happened. What I found was that I was sucking in air from my exhaust manifold because of two cracks around where the carb connected in.
#52 of 71 1977 ford simple problems by csnover Aug 03, 2008 (8:09 pm)
I just bought a 1977 Ford 150 and the last owner put an after market steering wheel on and after I bought it I realized that the blinker swtich on the steering column just hangs loose. I was wondering what it connects to inside there to keep the tension on it so you can switch the blinkers on and off. I haven't had time to take it apart yet
#53 of 71 Re: 1987 F150 4.9l 4x4 4spd man [trobertc] by asaley Aug 06, 2008 (5:56 am)
Replying to: trobertc (Jun 03, 2008 10:45 am) You may have trash in your tank. I had about the same problem several years ago after we had the gas shortage (9-11). I would be going down the road and seem to run out of fuel but with plenty left. I ended up pulling the tank and cleaned out a lot of junk . I changed the strainer and filters. I think I got it when I filled up while the were receiving a truck load into a almost empty tank which sturred up the bottom and I got a lot in my tank.
