An American truck should stay American!!!!:hammer: :hammer: :guns: smilieFordlogo

Hi y'all; My wife and I just say THE truck. Here in Holand we do use the English name.....

hi guys, I do fully understand what you said, but what I mean is, tomount an extra switch which gives a manual downshift 4-3. 'cause it is an electrical operated trans, I do believe that it is one single powerline to that solenoid who does that...best regards Ton

Goodmorning Flareside... Ehhh yes and no... The "no"is, that the engine has to warm up on gas...so, a few miles has to be made on 'expensive fuel" then, the system automatically switches over to LPG. The LPG/LPI computer "copies" the info the EEC IV gets from driving on gas...and...

Hi guys As long as my truck was equipped with LPG injection , Idle was rough and the engine stalled... After common sense thinking I saw the light! The Airtek filter ( like a K&N filter) Was positioned amidst the enginebay, straight above the cooling fan.. when coming to a stop at a...

Hi Y'all. I was thinking about the fact, that sometimes it's better to rev up the engine a bit more... I do have an E4OD.. Is it possible to change something ,that I can shift from 4-3 3-4 by using an electric switch, or is there a shift kid for sale?Best regards Ton

Goodmorning Greystreak. They are expensive here as well... They (Gov) do have a mouth full about environment and that LPG is the cleanest... BUT... If everybody uses LPG. Gasoline shall be piled up skyhigh in storagetanks in Rotterdam.. LPG is a leftover from the refiningprocess.. Many years...

Goodmorning Andy:) This is a very reliable system; when warm, the engine starts immediately and my truck does 11MPG; not bad for a 5,8l! this type of engine will not run on a conventional LPGset, the ignitiontiming went bananas with that one! That's because an injection operated engine needs...

Hi Aussie:) the engine has to start and to warm up to 80deg Fahrenheit coolanttemperature. Then it switches automatically to LPG. Because it is injection, it is impossible to start on LPG directly. the LPG computer changes info with the EEC IV. This one "thinks"that the engine gets gasoline...

Goodmorning everybody. I was thinking about the position of my airfilter... Original Ford has placed it on the very left side, connected with long hoses... Because I do have an LPG injection, I do have a K&N filter straight at the throttle box... When my engine is at temperature, the ride is...

Hey guys! Goodmorning from this side! Yesterday I had to go to Haarlem with the truck.. I took the highway and my truckie is incredible fast now and no dips when accelerating!! she has a smooth ride and the trans shifts later, so the engine revs up higher. what a truck!!I've bought a nice (is...

Goodmorning I've checked all the vacuumhoses; they're fine.:)

Okay Smokey; thanks for the input; appreciated!! I shall dismantle it this week. I've read somewhere that indeed the IAC's can give troubles..Best regards Ton

Goodmorning Justin; I've bought a brand new TPS sensor and I've cleaned the IAC valve.. TPS is checked an gives a good voltage an IAC gives a neatly 1100revs when starting cold... What else can I measure on the IAC? Thank you very much for you input:)Ton

Hi everybody:) As long as I own my truck, On LPG, as well on gas, idle is at 750revs, but after a couple of minutes the dips occur... and sometimes the engine stalls.. Everything what has do with "making sparks" in new.. New valves, new Hego and new MAPsensor.. the only thing what's not onboard...

Hi Greystreak:) Well, all I can say is, that right now it's possible to "drive the truck like I stole it"best regards Ton

Thank you for this info:) :) :)Ton

Thanks FellrosmilieIagreeThanks to Blackhat, Greystreak and Buzzgun, I do now fully understand the system! when I had bought the truck, the running was rough, and I saw the EGR valve bouncing up and down, so, I blinded it off .....and forgot. now I know that de EGR was bouncing, due to a...

Goodmorning Greystreak:) sometimes I think, that my E4 is opgraded already, because all the shifts are short, and one can feel it shifts. About the overdrive... I do have a very conservative way of driving; OD is always off under 55MPH. What I did mention about interfering in the 3-4 pack is...

Hello both of you... New discoveries!! since I did brought the EGR back in action, a couple of pleasant things occured.. Better acceleration.. Faster than ever... E4OD shifts later 2-3 and 3-4 (Before the tranny shifted up as soon as possible) so, the EEC seems to accept that the shifts come at...

Hi Greystreak; How are you today? Yesterday I've unblocked the EGR and the hiccups with accelerating are gone!! tomorrow I'm gonna pull the plugs for inspection. I do have an LPG plug in the cilinderheads ; I shall see what the colours are ... I keep you posted..best regards Ton

Good morning Buzz:) There was a bit of struggle here on this thread, but to me personely , it has brought something good.. My truck has sometimes the hiccups with accelerating on LPG (and a rough idle ) In my new opinion, due to what I've learned here, I do think, that when accelerating, the...

Hi Buzz:) Thank you for you input... No; I do not want to restrict the PVC at all... Only what has worried me is the gunk in the inletmanifold and valves. I do not know the history from this truck, except that it came 8 years ago from Nevada to Holland . Here, one of the previous owners did put...

Goodmorning Greystreak92:) Thanks a lot for sharing your information. I do not mind to use the EGR in the system if that's better for the environment but what concerns me is, that after years a huge built up of soot, burned oil is there in the inlet manifold and on the valves. I dismantled the...

EGR: Exhaust Gas Recirculation is a system that is actually much older than any electronic control system. Early EGR was employed by some auto makers as far back as the late 1960's. This system uses a valve to allow a controlled amount of exhaust back through the intake in an effort to run...

goodmorning Fellro:) I do only know the air system I.ve had on my truck. At first to Mr Blackcat I have to admit that I've made a mistake in my opinion; Indeed, the air, which was blown straight above the exhaust valves can NEVER reach the valves; the air pressure is to low... the fact here...

I do definetly think, Mr Blackhat has more knowledge about Ford than I do..That doesn't make me stupid. A good technical discussion is what I like and if I make a wrong statement, I like to hear or read that. When I bought my ford, two years ago, I knew nothing about sensor and injection...

Well well well Mr Blackhat... It seems to me, that you're here to argue; not to exchange technical information... A nice thing about a forum is, to exchange information an to learn from each other.... there is nothing more nicer than to learn from what one writes here... therefore I do read the...

Goodmorning Mr blackhat. At first I would like to say that my truck runs on LPG, what makes a big difference..... The way you react is an "attack of the killercat" ; this is a discussionforum, so stay polite and behave yourself, and a lot you wrote, is definetly not my idea. We could have an...

goodmorning. Okay; I can agree that when the EGR don't pass hot inert gas into the inlet, the combustion temperature shall be a bit higher, but, that should mean that the engine produces more energy, thus with lesser throttle it produces more power. I think, that de exhaust temp. shall not rise...
