    TPS Question

    I was reading on the F-150 forums that a TPS with a "dead spot" can cause pulsating and vibration at 35 mph. Can anyone confirm this?

    Proper way of priming fuel after fuel pump change

    ok so the fuel pump got changed out and my mechanic cleaned out the gas tank and said there was A LOT of gunk in the gas tank, the fuel filter got changed before the fuel pump, would it be wise to change out the fuel filter again just in case it caught any more gunk?

    I was just wondering cause there would be air bubbles in there after you put in gas and cause the truck to hiccup while driving.

    when i step on it, it lags

    sounds like your fuel pump is going there bud, I went through the same issue myself and once the fuel pump was changed and fuel tank cleaned I had no issues since then

    Fuel Tank Capacity

    If you are COMPLETELY dry like if you totally ran out of gas and it wont start and you fill it up and think its topped off, its not. The trick is once its topped off, turn your ignition to prime the fuel pump to get it going and then give your truck a wiggle, because of the air in there and how...

    21 miles to E my A**!!!!

    The mileage that it shows you on the overhead console is an ESTIMATE of how many miles you have, it cannot be put to the assumption that is how many more miles you have until its completely empty, they can be as far as 15-25 miles off after it runs out of gas totally. It also depends on if you...

    More problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have the same issue you have without the 4x4 issue, it could be your COP like the guys said, you will notice if you keep the gas pedal pretty even not mashing down on it, it will act fine, but once you give it gas it gives a little tug. If you get your truck scanned for CELs you will find...

    Stupid Truck!

    Ok my truck has been in the shop for nearly a month LOL anyhow, they just found out that the fuel pump is going down the tubes. Pressure is reading 30lbs instead of the spec 55lbs that its supposed to be at. It started out as a misfire. When he floored it with the fuel pres gauge on it, it...

    gas level indicator

    Dont forget that you also have that extra gas in the fuel filter and the lines before you totally run out of gas. But that would be bad if you run it completely dry and you're miles away from the nearest gas station.

    Hesitation While Accelerating from stop

    I would check the OHMs coming out and going into the MAF to see if they are at specs, sounds like the MAF is tripping cause the signal is not getting to the ECU correctly and its adjusting the fuel/air mixture so the truck could run. Is there a check engine light on or is it an intermittent thing?

    Tires

    I got Nexen 265/70/17s on my 17" alloys, now they rub when I turn and they are SUV tires. I dont have any alignment issues or been in a collision, and I dont understand why I am getting the rubbing issue with stock size tires.

    Stereo Dash Kits

    I like Crutchfield, good quality stuff but I am what you call a "cheap fool with money on my mind" kind of guy LOL anyhow, I dont understand why the 97 EB can't be considered a premium sound vehicle when it comes with the Mach system. :confused:
