jmadigan Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 No problem, I completely redid the wiring on my truck, everything is pretty much 1996 now I learned how to get them apart, the ones that do come apart. Before you go looking for a fusible link, see if you can find the diode in the harness, Ford eliminated them in the newer trucks so it may have been a high failure item. If you can locate it, jumper it across and see if the priming function works then. If it does, you're good to go with it. I did see the diode I will try this first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmadigan Posted March 22, 2022 Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 I did see the diode I will try this first 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

jmadigan Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 shorting the distributor can have that affect 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
