1996 F350 460 DISTRIBUTOR REPLACEMENT

In this video we replaced the distributor on our 1996 F350 460 (7.5L) big block.
- Tools needed = 3/8” drive with nuckle extension
- 1/2” socket
- timing gun
Symptoms that led to replacement- The truck would run fine, then randomly shut off and not start, after awhile it would start, idle fine, than shut off again. We used a code reader to scan for codes and got codes :
211 Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) Circuit Fault
212 loss of ignition diagnostic monitor signal/SPOUT circuit grounded
The PIP is located in the distributor and can be a challenge to replace, the existing distributor was old so we replaced the whole thing. This solved the problem and the truck is FIXED!
Notes: I wasn’t able to adjust the timing properly due to a faulty timing gun, I have it properly timed now and there is a video that will be up soon on how to do that.
Thank you for taking the time to watch this video and helping me build my channel.
