Re: Fuel Issues.

The problem seemed to resolve itself it starts first try every morning now still fairly cold. I had a separate issue where I lost spark intermittently and found I pinched my tachometer wire from the coil behind the clutch pedal I fixed that and it hasn’t done it since. I dunno guys

Problems that magically go away worry me 'cause I'm always afraid they'll magically come back. Is there any chance the no-spark issue was the cause of the problem all along?

Re: Fuel Issues.

thats what i was thinking wonder if i was losing some current through the crushed wire and now I moved down a bumpy dirt road finally made it just quit all together. But I haven't had any issues since. I'm going to start her up in the cold tonight and make sure.

Re: Fuel Issues.

fix what you find first. disregard nothing. everything was put there and done that way for a reason. if we were all smarter than ford engineers, we would not be ford enthusiasts.
