I busted mine yesterday, put in a new distributor, not sure it wasn’t broke all ready but you save us with that knock sensor information, 12A699AA found on Amazon and is also on eBay. Everyone telling us we have to do without or modify, Without your videos this information wouldn’t be known. 👍

Good video! I had similar problems with my OBS F150. Replaced many components trying to isolate the problem. Finally found water/moisture accumulation in the MAP sensor. Replaced and sealed . It seemed to work. Hope this helps. Originally posted this on your “Daytime Running Lights on an old truck” DUH… my bad, it is what it is. Any way, Very good videos! Thanks for sharing.

you did get something done you found out what its not, agree not the best way to diagnose but you did make headway. I love my OBS even though shes rough

I chased what I thought was a short for 2 weeks, turns it was just the starter. Ugh, the pain is real when chasing the problem, but when you solve it, the feeling is surreal.

I’ve had a slight miss in mine for a few years. Nothing seems to fix it. It sounds fine, runs good, but the engine shakes periodically during idle. I’ve changed every sensor on it in the last 2 years. I have Taylor wires and Motorcraft plugs, and a new distributor. I replaced the back fuel tank and pump. I will be replacing the fuel injectors since I’ll be taking the intake off for a refinish. I may even replace the lifters and rods. Everything in the intake system will be cleaned or replaced. I’ll let you all know if I find anything useful for anyone to consider on their truck. I completely understand the frustration. I just plan on keeping mine forever. If the 6 dies, I’m replacing with a crate 302.

I feel your pain sir. I feel like I’m just dumping money into mine, but I don’t want to let it go.

This helped me thanks so much

Mine was the throttle control on bottom of throttle base and the module control I use a Innova 3145 code ford reader and it show the code numbers and comes with code book get on Amazon for 44.00 dollars

I feel yeah. it might very well be the ECM I know there's a couple of capacitors that fry and is fixable. also a pinched wire somewhere

My 95 300 inline had that same miss/hesitation at throttle snap and I checked codes and sure enough it had a cylinder identification lost code. May be the pickup coil known to go bad in our trucks resulting in needing a full dizzy replacement. Check codes if you can and comment back. I’m a ASE and ford certified tech and will help you!

Almost sounds like a fuel problem check the pressure regulator the filter or pull the pump out and check the sock filter on the pump might have trash in it restricting the fuel flow

Hey man have you figured it out I have a truck now for a yr doing the same exact thing I've replaced everything and it's still doing it someone told me the pickup coil in the distributor cap and rotor and I know man I've done so much of this truck it's frustrating everybody says this and that I am taking the upper plenum off and replacing valve cover gasket plenum gasket all the vacuum lines I put a new coil pack on it plugs and wires the other day but all my vacuum lines connectors are disintegrated Amazon has six fuel injectors for like 60 bucks I'm going to get them to might as well like you said because you got to take all that s*** off have you replaced the pickup coil and distributor cap yet I just found your channel I'm going to go through and watch a bunch of videos I love these old Fords please get back to me man thanks

It seem you’ve been having this problem for awhile if I were you I would get a new computer and if you have the time swap over to Maf, Runne rite makes a kit very simple literally plug and play. If a sensor is out your going to get codes unless your computer is shot and if your computer is good then it can only be two other things and that’s a vacuum leak or fuel problem like bad injector, clogged filter or fuel pressure regulator and or bad timing. When doing vacuum leak test you need test at idle and reving it to literally every line you can either simpley cap the line and if your problem goes away you found the leak or you need to move on to the next line. You can’t do that with every line but majority of them you can or you can by a gauge and do it that way which is what I recommend. . I had the same problem in my 1995 f150. I replaced literally every sensor and it ended up being my map and icm were bad but that didn’t totally fix it it had a small hesitation and in stop and go traffic after about 10 mins the idle would start surging. All these problems went away once I converted to maf a with a new a9L computer.

Small prybar 🤔

Have you checked the Intake Air Temperature sensor. Or taken the computer out and seeing if one of the 3 capacitors are leaking?

Have you tried changing the ignition module? And the coil pack

ny '96 has an intermittent problem while at a light it idles bad enough to shimmy the truck vigorously had a few people check it and came up empty will look tomorrow if it has it n with it being intermittent and oil soaked over there will check connector clean and electric grease it

you probably have already checked this with a vacuum gage sure sound like a leak my leak was in the vacuum line to the high heater and air control valve .or the iac,throtle body not closing all the way .

Disconnect battery after replacing sensors,so computer will recognize input from new component. Also a bad computer will cause these problems. The capacitors go bad or their connections corrode and break.

Have you check your fuel pressure, fuel pressure regulator around 20.00, I have to watch on KZfaq to find my problems with my 96 f 150 4.9

would it also work for a 1988 f150 with the 302

1 1/8" deep well

Will this one fit the 7.5 ?

Just replaces one on my 96 4.9. Went to pik n pull and got two. Three parts stores could not find one. Went to Ford dealer didn't know what it was. Then found it and its obsolete and not available.

10:29 looks like the old one is longer, maybe that’s the issue?

Did you ever find out what was wrong

just read where a pcv valve will cause the same problems

I recently ordered one, they gave me the wrong one🤣

Does yours have an ac filter? 🤔

I followed the link and it says it doesn’t fit my 95 with the 4.9L.

That's the wrong one somebody change it and are not the same.I found this out on mine 5.0

I have always suspected that somewhere in the computers program there is something that limits the life of the engine
