The flasher is located in the auxilary relay box #1 center of dash on drivers side. Near the transmission hump by where the drivers foot well would be, kinda behind the radio. Two relays are in there one for the air conditioning and one is the flasher. Check fuses #27 15 amp, and #18 20 amp in...

You most likely have a vacuum leak. Look very carefully at all the rubber hoses and vacuum connections. It is also possible that the intake plenum gaskets are leaking,but the most common complaint with those is rough running cold then gets better as it warms up. The 1131 code is not for a...

crackthe crack is in the block.i will try to get some good pictures.tim,in regards to the spirituality,thanks for the suggestions its nice to hear that point of view.as for the block i am going to try jb weld this week,i will keep you posted.

coolantwell finally got the right cylinder head off to inspect for a cracked block.found a crack in the upper water jacket dumping coolant into the exhaust port number 2. i am goimg to jb weld it because i think that will seal it up.any other suggestions would be welcome

crankmaybe a little heat and some tiny taps with a hammer on the sides.remember a LITTLE heat and TINY taps.good luck

also check that your spark isnt going away the ignition modules on this truck had high fail rates

try turning the idle up a little bit,i agree with all the other suggestions but it sounds like a carb issue

njwhere are you guys from?north or south jersey?

airbagcode 42 is for the front impact sensor near the radiator.i can't stress this enough air bag systems can be dangerous and should not be played with if your not sure what you are doing.you can visually check the connector for damage or corrosion but more than likely the sensor is bad.let...

air bagafter you turn the key count the flashes then let me know,i can lead you in the right direction.the most common problems are seat belt pre tensioners(part of the seatbelt buckle assembly)

misfirecheck the connector for cylinder #3 coil and at least swap the coils between 3 and 4.if the plug blew out on3 and they didnt replace the coil i would bet it suffered some damage.i see coil failures alot on these motors but very rarely does it set the p0353 most of the time it doesn't...

misfiredoes it run bad when the light is on?

misfirep0353 is for cylinder number 3 coil primary circuit.are you sure cyl #8 misfire is the other code?it is probably cyl #3 misfire and you may have a bad pcm as the driver circuit is in the computer.and because the plug blew out of cylinder #3 this makes sense.three coils in a row is...

mainly if a 1951 ford truck 3 speed hd trans will bolt right up or what other trans would work(manual not automatic).also how it would mount up in a 1951 ford truck chassis.thanks for responding.

plugsthe labor is 4.0 hours according to alldata,not sure what the labor rate is in your area.you should consider yourself lucky that the plugs made it this long. i dont see many make it that long.as for your cruise problem there is a brake pressure switch on the master cylinder that has a...

you could have excessive egr flow also which would point to the dpfe,put a vacuum pump on the egr valve fitting and with the engine running pull a vacuum on the valve,the engine should stumble possibly stall.if it does your passages are clear.it is possible for the egr vacuum solenoid to be bad...

no startcheck the small wire down at the starter while it doesnt start if you have power down there then you have a bad starter.check that small wire connector very carefully they are notorious for corroding and causing no starts intermittently

what kind of truck and engine do you have?there is a part called the dpfe sensor that has a high fail rate

swaptim,i have the heavy duty with the half bellhousing.i would love to run the flathead but i am disgusted with the cracking situation.my machinist swore up and down the block i had was crack free.this is after buying 3 other flatheads.i had the block sleeved and bored over .30 and all was...

does anyone know if a 1951 ford 3 speed trans will bolt up to a 1962 223 inline 6?i am exploring the possibility of swapping the flathead out of my 51 f3 pickup and i am wondering if anyone has knowledge about whats involved in this swap.thanks,kevin

surgeits good when things work out.good luck in the snow ,kevin

surgingi just got to work and looked up where the tank is.you probably have a bad fuel pump or clogged filter.i would start by replacing the filter it is easy and cheap and see if anything changes.if you have access to a fuel pressure gauge there is a test port under the hood on the fuel rail...

sorry i know i spelled professional wrong:[confused]

surgewhere do you think the fuel pump is?the fuel pump is in the tank on the aerostar.you probably have a bad idle air control motor.this is mounted near the throttle body go to autozones website and look it up to see what it looks like.these can make a buzzing sound also.could be alot of...

cold taurusgo to autozone and have them scan it for you then post the codes.the intake gaskets leak on these cold.my guess is that you are going to get p0171 and or p0174 probably both.these codes are for a lean condition.let me know what you come up with.i am an ase certified master...

tim,yeah those expeditions are tough even with a lift.some of the diesel f series we pull the whole cab off just to access the motor.i was a carpenter for a couple of years too.then i decided to try the marines for about 8 years.i worked on fighter jets it was a cool experience.i admire that...
