Started on the Interior

[Ridgerunner]

Well sorry I have not been here much. No sense in me saying why. Took my truck out for a good drive. Man she has power as long she is cold,but she gets hot it's like riding a bucking horse. TFI Module? I went and bought one yesterday. Will have it on this evening.

Hi Cliff was going to PM you since I haven't seen your light on in a while. Figured that it was the issue that you talked about earlier. That's great that you went for a burn in the truck! Not sure what the heat problem is related to since you have EFI, but someone will

take care,
Roy

Hi Roy,a friend of mine from Texas came up last weekend he drove it and said that was the problem. He has his own repair shop and only will drive a Ford truck.

Glad you're back, Cliff. Engines are not as simple as they used to be!

Isn't that the truth, they are not simple. I hope this fixes it. I never left Doug just been real busy lately. I was given a project car over the weekend so i have been spending a little time with that.

No he has a real shop he is a mechanic.He got tired of working for a dealer and making them all the money so he quit and opened his own place.

If your light isn't on, you're "left". Good luck with the project car, also.

I never log out. Thanks he will be down next month to put the engine together. Wish it was a Ford but almost as good.

 

[Ridgerunner]

Well the TFI module was changed waited for it warm up,no change. I can't keep putting money into my truck if it doesn't run right. Looks like it will be history.

Cliff it is the temp sensor for the engine control most likely. I saw you got a TFI and didn't think it would fix it.

What does it look like? I bought this truck back in February and I am ready to pull the wheels off and scrap it.

 

[smokey]

Small sensor with one wire I think. There are two temp senors one for the gauge /idiot light and one for the computer to control the engine.

 

[Ridgerunner]

Randy would the temp sensor be called the air temperature sensor?

 

[Fellro]

No, that is in the intake air stream. There is a water temp sensor for the gauges and one for the computer. Both should be by the thermostat housing I think.

From Autozone component locator:

The Coolant Temperature Sensor is located:
Under hood, center, front engine area, mounted in passenger side of water outlet

From Autozone component locator:

Does Auto Zone still give a sheet on where parts are located?

 

[Fellro]

Sometimes they give a diagram, didn't find it online. Might go to the store and have them point it out to you.

edit: I see the description got cleared out somehow...

Under hood, center, front engine area, mounted in passenger side of water outlet

 

[Ridgerunner]

Thanks I will stop by there on my way out. If this doesn't work the truck is history.

 

[Fellro]

I am sure it will end up being something simple.

I really hope not Cliff, truck is looking really good and you've come this far,
