Default OT Ford truck problem...

On Wed, 09 Nov 2005 16:54:38 -0500, with neither quill nor qualm, Al
A. quickly quoth:


You guys are awesome. I got exactly 2 replies on the ford truck NG.
30+ here. Oh well.

Found the fuel filter and changed it. Didn't help. It was old anyhow
so no problem. To quote a famous (RCM) American, shrug


I think you meant "infamous", didn't you, Al? wink


Followed the instructions on the autozone link that Glenn posted. Got
3 codes that, according to the card Rick scanned (Thanks Rick!!) tell
me the following (in order):

53 Throttle position sensor above max voltage
63 Throttle position sensor below min voltage
31 EGR valve position sensor or EGR vacuum regulator below min
voltage


I believe mine were 23 and 63.


Those results agree with the autozone page, so you got the right
setup, Rick.

Just a bout the time I got that much info, it got real dark and
started raining on me. yuck. So I came in to look up the codes.
If it lets up, I may just go back out with the Big Lights and follow
those up. Likely will check out that idle air valve, too, as it looks
fairly easy to get at. The autozone page gives some quickie
voltmeter/ohmmeter type tests for those devices, so I can try to see
if I can verify any of these. Looks like I may end up doing as Larry
did and hitting the boneyard tomorrow.


Oh, goodie! I get to do an ITYS!


Like I said, you guys are awesome. I'll let you know what I find out.

Appreciate all of the help!


Jewelcome. That'll be $37.50, please. snicker
