hey veteran, same thing is happening to my 1990 e350 econoline van...yeah really fun to work on:))) i didn't even think about the dizzy. i have the 351W, fuel injected, is yours old school or like mine? i hope you get notified, i know it's been a year, but if you wouldn't mind give me reply back would ya, thanks in advance. - barbie
@@veteranheavyequipmechanic4990 yeah, i think mine has the MAP but not the MAF. thanks for the reply, one more thing i'll have to check if my multiple other parts don't fix it:))) thanks heaps for the reply.
Thanx Bro 😎 I had the opposite problem 4yrs ago when it would get stuck in full high rpm rev mode and I had to slam the brakes on so I didn’t fly into cross traffic. Now its getting stuck and the truck don’t move except in jerking random motion. The solution is valve cleaner spray and a toothbrush 😎thanx
And the rear drums too trust me it changed my view of my truck when all power was restored they get hot stuck and causes your truck to feel like loss of power
I used to work on a lot of Crown Vics with 5.0 and The throttle body would gum up and the idle would drop to nearly nothing. Id hold the throttle open , spray it with 2+2 and scrub it with a toothbrush, cleaned it right up. Sometimes it can take the coating off of the t b but on those old cars it didn’t matter.
I'm having that exact problem in my 89 F250 with a 351 and 4 speed. It's a abandoned vehicle left in a field for 6 years so lots of mouse damage but after 4 months of working on it with unknown amount of money its running and driving but more little problems keep showing up after I fix one thing. Barely any rot on the body and frame is solid. Never mudded or plowed with. Only 51k on it too. I like it but also hate it.
It’s a ford thing we love them and hate them lol I’m chasing down a problem with a 01 f150 now that nothing is adding up to why it’s doing what it’s down
Ah yes, I remember those "funny noise" days of dial-up internet, and hearing "you've got mail" after it connected. 😂 Thankfully, I eventually discovered how to go into the modem settings and turn off the noise.
That would be cool if I could check mine out and improve the acceleration and speed because as soon as we get on the highway there were so many cars passing us 😂 and that pedal was pressed all the way down according to my friend Brandon. Thanks for the video very entertaining, informative, and funny

@@billyc768 I wish man I got rid of this truck. It overheated because the belt flew off and I had no clue. It's so unfortunate I love the damn thing. In fact I refuse to send it to a scrap yard so I gave it to a friend for free
I change my throttle sensor, so I took off the 2 intake and seen it’s was as you said had gunk oil so I sprayed it car cleanser. And my too high idea dropped to 900. And ran smooth. One day I need to tackle the plug change on a van. Might just do what I can reach.
ya reckon that they used these engines with the same setup in 1990? recently got a Gulfstream class A with a 460 big block, and it has the same idle issue you described, just wanting to learn more so i can take care of my RV
Take the hoses off and the lines disconnect the one plug on bottom and then you got 4 bolts and boom it’s off but there is a gasket in between so be easy if you don’t want to replace it
Does it have the twin I beam suspension on front? If so any lift kit or lowing is going to cost a lot I done a 2in on mine and it was around 2k but that was over 10 years ago if you keep up with the maintenance that truck will last a long time
benjamin goldstein no but they do sell a thing to catch the oil stop that from happening and you can recycle or dispose of it and it does not interfere with your intake or filter
benjamin goldstein The velocity of the air should be pushing it to the intake and not the filter if it’s pushing into the air filter there might be more at play make sure it’s not over filled with oil. If not I will look for the link to the thing I don’t you about and post it for you

4.9 L 6-cylinder, 5.0 L V8, 5.8 L V8, 7.3 L V8 diesel, 7.5 L V8 but if it’s 4x4 it going to be a 7.3 or 7.5 when was the last time you had the injectors spray pattern checked? And when was the last time you changed the glow plugs?
It is 460/7.5 liter gas ⛽️. I've changed out - Mapp sensor. Ignition coil. Wires and plugs. Cap and rotor. EGR valve. Fuel filter. I've used injector cleaners several times. Also cleaned/sprayed the throttle body with carb cleaner. I can't remember what else. It seems like it is also running a little rough. Not bad though. I don't know what else to check. Maybe the injectors. I don't know how to check or replace those. Do you have any good ideas 🤔 ❓️..
@@rickylee6129 if you can post a video of it how it’s running. And most of the cleaners don’t really work for fuel injectors on your next fill up use an entire court of cheap atf that’s an old-school field injector cleaner it gets rid of a lot of carbon but just by the sound, you might have a bad injector or clogged or possibly a O-ring around the injector is leaking just slightly I’ve not really gotten into Ford videos on my TikTok page but you’re more than welcome to look the name is brandon_1885 or if you have the video there that I could look at I’m more than happy to try to help and so far you’ve done everything, correct. Have you tried taking a paperclip and jumping the plug the numbers of flash on the check engine light to get a code I have 2 94 f150 the one in the video and a 5.8 4x4 flare side I’m hoping you don’t have a warped head or a crack running to the spark plug because that would cause it to misfire reducing the power have you noticed any abnormal where on any of the spark plugs?
Yours sounds more like a idle air control valve. But I took mine off and cleaned. it with break clean. Just make sure to remove. The throttle positioning sensor. Because it is electronic. And make sure to take notes how you took it off if the throttle positioning sensor is put on wrong, you could work it
Have a 1995 5.0 automatic that will squeal real loud with a rattle sound when I accelerate hard up a hill. Think it might be the the timing chain and tensioner?
