ISSUE: Electronic control modules, including EEC processors, may be damaged if the negative
battery ground cable is not disconnected before arc welding is done to the vehicle, This occurs
because the arc welding process can produce high electrical currents in the body of a vehicle when
the negative battery ground cable is left connected.
ACTION: If arc welding procedures are to be performed, be sure to disconnect the battery ground
cable,
CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY GROUND CABLE BEFORE USING ANY
ELECTRIC WELDING EQUIPMENT

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
The center of the EEC IV system is a microprocessor called the Electronic Control Assembly
(ECA). The ECA, receives data from a number of sensors and other electronic components
(switches, relays, etc.). The ECA contains a specific calibration for optimizing emissions, fuel
economy, and driveability. Based on information received and programmed into its memory, the
ECA generates output signals to control various relays, solenoids, and other actuators.
The ECA in the EEC IV system is a microprocessor like the one in the other EEC systems. One
significant difference is that this ECA has the calibration module located inside the ECA assembly,
unlike the EEC III system.
The ECA is found in different locations, depending on the model.

Main Relay (Computer/Fuel System): Description and Operation
There are two types of relays: the power relay and the time delay power relay. The time delay relay
has a delay of 5 to 10 seconds and is used with an actuator assembly throttle control. Both relay
types consist of a movable contact in the normally open position. All power relays (except time
delay) have the same design with a different bracket attachment.
Function
EEC power relays are in parallel with the ignition switch and provide power to the EEC module.
Power relays also provide reverse battery protection and increased load handling to improve
ignition switch reliability.

There are two types of relays: the power relay and the time delay power relay. The time delay relay
has a delay of 5 to 10 seconds and is used with an actuator assembly throttle control. Both relay
types consist of a movable contact in the normally open position. All power relays (except time
delay) have the same design with a different bracket attachment.
Function
EEC power relays are in parallel with the ignition switch and provide power to the EEC module.
Power relays also provide reverse battery protection and increased load handling to improve
ignition switch reliability.

CALIBRATIONS: All with TFI Systems
If the TFI module fails and causes a short to ground, the primary winding of the ignition coil can be
damaged. The TFI diagnostic procedure published in the Shop Manual will not identify this
condition.
When servicing a weak or no spark condition, perform the following:
1. Check for spark using the procedures found in the Manual Information, Computerized Engine,
Quick Test Section, Test 1.
2. If there is no spark, test the coil primary resistance using Rotunda digital volt-ohmmeter
007-00001, as shown.
3. If the coil primary resistance is O.K., continue with the diagnostic procedure in Test 1.
4. If the coil primary resistance is not O.K., replace the coil and recheck for weak or no spark. If the
spark is now O.K., the problem is resolved.
5. If the spark is still NOT O.K., continue with normal diagnostic procedure in Test 1.

If your voltmeter has a high impedance, it will not draw enough current to show a voltage drop
when testing TFI power circuits for resistive connections. To assure an accurate test, attach a test
light between the circuit being tested and ground as shown. The light will draw current through the
connection and allow measurement of the voltage drop so a resistive connection can be identified.
IMPORTANT Do not use a test light while monitoring the PIP or SPOUT signal. The test light draws
more current than the signal circuit can supply. The test light should be used only on power circuits.

CALIBRATIONS: All with TFI Systems
If the TFI module fails and causes a short to ground, the primary winding of the ignition coil can be
damaged. The TFI diagnostic procedure published in the Shop Manual will not identify this
condition.
When servicing a weak or no spark condition, perform the following:
1. Check for spark using the procedures found in the Manual Information, Computerized Engine,
Quick Test Section, Test 1.
2. If there is no spark, test the coil primary resistance using Rotunda digital volt-ohmmeter
007-00001, as shown.
3. If the coil primary resistance is O.K., continue with the diagnostic procedure in Test 1.
4. If the coil primary resistance is not O.K., replace the coil and recheck for weak or no spark. If the
spark is now O.K., the problem is resolved.
5. If the spark is still NOT O.K., continue with normal diagnostic procedure in Test 1.

Ignition Control Module: Description and Operation
Typical Ignition System
The Ignition Module shuts off the primary circuit each time it receives a pulse from the magnetic
pick-up Fig. 9. A timing circuit in the ignition module turns the primary current back on after a short
period of time. High voltage is created each time the magnetic field is built up and collapsed. The
red ignition module wire provides operating voltage for the module's electronic components in the
Run mode. The white module wire and start bypass provide increased voltage for the module and
coil during Start mode.
Ignition Modules
Dura Spark II systems with UIM (Universal Ignition Module) Fig. 10 can respond to another control
signal from either an Ignition Barometric Pressure Switch, Ignition Timing Vacuum Switch, or the
Microprocessor Control Unit (MCU), depending on the engine calibration. Responding to this
second signal, the UIM provides additional spark timing control for certain operating conditions by
shutting off the ignition coil current flow at a different time than with just the distributor pick-up
signal.

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor, detects the temperature of engine coolant and
supplies the Information to Electronic Control Assembly (ECA).
The ECT sensor is threaded into the heater outlet fitting or cooling passage on the engine. For
engine control applications, the ECT signal is used to modify ignition timing, EGR flow, and air to
fuel ratio as a function of engine coolant temperature. On electronic instrument cluster applications,
the ECT output is used to control a coolant temperature indicator.

Brake Switch (Cruise Control): Testing and Inspection
Perform this test only when brake application will not disconnect the speed control system.
1. Check operation of stop lamps by applying approximately 6 lbs. of pressure to brake pedal. If
more than 6 lbs. is required, check brake pedal actuation and stop lamp switch.
2. If stop lamps do not function properly, check bulbs, circuit fuse or stop lamp switch.
3. If stop lamps function properly, check for battery voltage at 6 way connector using black wire
w/green stripe on 1980 models, 1981-83 E-100-350 and 1984-87 E-150-350 series, or white wire
w/pink stripe on 1981-82 F-100-350 and Bronco series, or white wire w/purple stripe on 1983
F-100-350, Bronco and Ranger, 1984-87 F-150-350, Ranger, 1984-87 Bronco II and 1986-87
Aerostar.
4. Depress brake pedal until stop lamps are illuminated. Check voltage at red wire w/black stripe on
1980 models, 1981-83 E-100-350 and 1984-87 E-150-350 models, or the light green wire on
1981-83 F-100-350 and Bronco, 1984-87 F-150-350 and Bronco, 1983-87 Ranger, 1984-87 Bronco
II and 1986-87 Aerostar. The difference between the two voltage readings must not exceed 1.5
volts. If voltage is greater, a high resistance exists in the circuit and must be found and corrected.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1984-87 F-150/350, BRONCO
ISSUE: A clutch pedal not fully returning to contact the rubber bumper at the "up" stop may result in
any of the following conditions.
^ Transmission gear clash or hard shifting or failure to release into or from gear (particularly
reverse and 1st gear) because clutch pedal stroke length is decreased, causing low pedal reserve.
^ Clutch pedal may sometimes stick near the TOP of the stroke, requiring driver to "tip" the pedal
with his/her foot in order to get pedal to further return.
^ Speed control is inoperative, due to pedal not returning and permitting "shut off" switch circuit to
remain in the open position, i.e., clutch disengaged mode.
ACTION: To determine if a new cross-shaft lever is required, use the following diagnostic and
servicing procedure.
1. Check under the dash area to be certain that the clutch pedal system has no wiring looms which
interfere with pedal return, at the interlock switch rod and the end of the master cylinder pushrod.

2. Determine if the clutch master cylinder pushrod and lever pin are correctly aligned by
disconnecting the pushrod and seeing if it will reassemble to the pin WITHOUT DEPRESSING
THE PUSHROD OR DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH PEDAL. (When the pushrod is disconnected
from the pin, the clutch master cylinder piston is fully retracted (rearward) and the clutch pedal
blade is contacting the rubber bumper stop), see Figure 7.
3. If the two components are not in alignment, perform the following IN THIS EXACT SEQUENCE:
a. Loosen the clutch pedal attaching nut (left hand side).

b. Reinstall the clutch master cylinder pushrod to the cross-shaft lever pin.
c. Tighten the clutch pedal attaching nut (left hand side).
d. Stroke the clutch pedal several times to reset the position of the shaft to the pedal slot, THIS
STEP IS REQUIRED!
e. Again, remove the clutch master cylinder pushrod from the lever pin and check the alignment. If
the two (2) components are still not in alignment, replace the crossshaft lever.
NOTE: If the pushrod is aligned with the pin, no further action is required.
Cross-Shaft Lever Replacement
Removal
1. Disconnect the master cylinder pushrod from the cross-shaft lever pin.
1984-86 Vehicles
Remove the clevis pin. Carefully pull the pushrod from the lever.
1987 Vehicles
Disconnect the snap-in bushing by wedging a small screwdriver or putty knife between the lever
and the bushing. When the bushing tangs are free at the pin groove, carefully pull the pushrod from
the lever.
2. Remove the attaching nut.
3. Remove the lever from the cross-shaft, using a pry tool or puller.
Installation
NOTE: The proper position of clutch master cylinder pushrod relative to the crossshaft lever
(7A554) pin is controlled by this installation PROCEDURE. Therefore, ONLY the following steps
should be used.
1. Install the new lever (pin) to the clutch master cylinder pushrod bushing.
2. Install the lever onto the cross-shaft.
3. Install the attaching nut, finger tight.
4. Inspect pedal position to make sure it is against the "up" stop.
5. Tighten the attaching nut. This will permit the knurled teeth on the shaft to cut matching teeth in
lever, which then results in the correct positioning of the two (2) components.
NOTE: The above procedure is the preferred method of "adjusting" master cylinder pushrod length.
Frequently, the master cylinder is replaced or adjustable pushrods are installed to obtain the
required pushrod to lever positioning. Cross-shaft lever replacement is a more efficient method and
eliminates the potential of pushrod mis-adjustment and introducing air or contamination into the
hydraulic system.

ISSUE: A "refrigerator type smell" or "chemical type" odor may come from some A/C systems. As
the calibration of the clutch cycling pressure switch drifts downward, the evaporator core
temperature may drop too low. This results in a "refrigerator type smell" or "chemical type" odor as
the system cycles on and off.

AEROSTAR 1988-89 ECONOLINE ISSUE:
Poor air conditioning cooling caused by low or no refrigerant charge often results in unnecessary
replacement of the clutch cycling pressure switch. The switch is designed to work on system
pressure. It closes at about 46 psi and opens at about 24.5 psi. It has a normal cycle (on and off)
rate of 2 to 5 cycles per minute.
ACTION: If an inoperative or fast cycling pressure switch is found, use the following diagnostic
charts before replacing the pressure switch.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE:
1. Connect a manifold gauge set to the service ports and check the system pressures. They should
be above the closing pressure of the switch (46 psi).
2. If the A/C system pressures are above 46 psi and the clutch will not engage, proceed as follows:
^ Check the pressure switch harness connector and harness wires for a continuous open condition.
^ Check for an intermittent open or a poor connection between the connector and the pressure
switch terminals.
a. If the harness connector and wires are OK, by-pass the pressure switch by jumping the two
terminals of the connector. If the clutch still does not engage, THE PRESSURE SWITCH IS NOT
DEFECTIVE. Refer to the respective EVTM for the clutch circuit schematic and circuit diagnosis.
Repair as necessary.
3. Check the ambient temperature. If the ambient temperature is below 48~ F (9~ C), the system
pressure will not be high enough to close the pressure switch (46 psi).
4. If the system does not contain refrigerant, the pressure will not be high enough to close the
switch for compressor operation. Leak test, repair, evacuate and charge the system.

5. If the pressures are above 46 psi and the clutch cycle rate is faster than the normal rate of 2 to 5
cycles per minute, the system is probably low on refrigerant. Check that the system contains the
correct refrigerant charge by following the correct diagnostic chart (Figures 1 or 2).

Fuel Gauge Sender: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION FUEL LEVEL INDICATING SYSTEM
The fuel indicating system is a bimetal-resistance type system. It consists of an instrument voltage
regulator, fuel indicator (gauge) mounted in the instrument cluster and a sender located in the fuel
tank,
INSTRUMENT VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The instrument voltage regulator (IVR) used with the fuel indicator (gauge) controls and maintains
an average pulsating voltage of 5.0 volts at the gauge terminals.
FUEL INDICATOR (GAUGE)
The fuel indicator gauge pointer is attached to a wire wound bimetal strip which when heated by
the flow of electrical current controlled by the sender unit, produoes the appropriate indication.
Fuel Indicating System Using A Bimetal Gauge - Typical
FUEL SENDER
The fuel sender consists of a variable screened resistor made up of a ceramic substrate. It is
controlled by the action of an attached float in the fuel tank. When the fuel level is low, resistance in
the sender is high and allows only a low current to flow through the indicator (gauge) windings,
causing the pointer to move a short distance. When the fuel level is high, the resistance in the
sender is low and allows a higher current flow and a greater heating effect causing the pointer to
move a greater distance.

Fuel Gauge Sender: Testing and Inspection
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE NIPPLE ON THE END OF THE FUEL RETURN LINE. IT IS
THERE TO PREVENT FUEL FROM DRAINING OUT OF THE TANK IN THE EVENT OF A
ROLLOVER.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with diesel engines and dual fuel tanks, refer to the diagnosis guide
in this Section before proceeding with the calibration testing.
CAUTION: DO NOT INTERCHANGE SENDING UNITS BETWEEN GASOLINE-AND
DIESEL-POWERED VEHICLES. DOING SO MAY CAUSE SEVERE ENGINE AND FUEL
SYSTEM DAMAGE.
CALIBRATION TEST (USING ROTUNDA TESTER MODEL 021-00034)
Fuel Indicating System Test With Rotunda Tester Model 21-0015 Or Equivalent
The Rotunda Instrument Gauge System Tester Model 021-00034 or equivalent is used to diagnose
problems in all fuel indicating systems using the bimetal fuel indicator gauge and instrument
voltage regulator (IVR).
Prior to performing fuel system test the following tester checks should be made.
1. Set tester switch at IVR CHECK position.
2. Attach tester ground wire to the negative (-) terminal of 12-volt battery and touch one of the
tester terminals marked with an arrow to the
positive (+) battery terminal.
3. If the IVR check lamp does not come on, return tester for service or replacement.
TEST SET-UP

Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Instrument Panel > Fuel Gauge Sender >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 368
CAUTION: DURING IN-VEHICLE TESTS, Do NOT LET TESTER TERMINAL STUDS
DESIGNATED BY ARROWS COME IN CONTACT WITH VEHICLE GROUND. THE FUEL
GAUGE WILL BE SHORTED TO GROUND, PREVENTING AN ACCURATE TEST AND
POSSIBLY DAMAGING THE IVR OR GAUGE.
1. Disconnect connector from fuel sender and hook onto the matching terminals on the tester (Fig.
4).
2. Turn vehicle ignition switch to ACC position.
FUNCTIONAL TEST
NOTE: The IVR also supplies a common regulated voltage for the temperature gauge indicating
system and oil gauge indicating system (when applicable); therefore, the IVR can only be damaged
if the other gauges exhibit similar problems (fluctuating movement or high or low indications at the
upper calibration band). The IVR has little effect on the lower calibration band of the indicator.
1. Set test switch to IVR check position.
2. If IVR check lamp flashes on and off, the IVR and wiring are functional. Proceed to calibration
check.
3. If IVR check lamp is on steady, check IVR ground screw. If ground screw is secure, replace IVR
4. If IVR check lamp does not come on, check for open circuit in gauge and/or circuit wiring.
CALIBRATION CHECK
With the tester switch in either the HIGH or LOW position, the center line of the gauge pointer
should be within the "F" or "E" white band of the graphics for the fuel test function as shown on the
tester. If the center line of the pointer registers in the white bands, the fuel indicating system is
operating properly and replacement of the fuel sender is necessary. If the pointer center line falls
outside the "E" white band, replace the fuel gauge. If the pointer center line falls outside the "F"
white band, replace the IVR and retest. If still outside the upper white band, replace the fuel gauge
reinstall the original IVR and retest for calibration.
CALIBRATION TEST (WITHOUT TESTER)
If only the fuel gauge is inoperative or appears to be out of calibration, a calibration test can be
conducted on the vehicle fuel gauge system. The calibration test checks the fuel gauge and IVR
simultaneously.
The required test equipment consists of a 10 ohm resistor and a 73 ohm resistor.
Disconnect the wiring connector at the sender unit. Connect one of the resistors between the lead
wire terminal and ground, and turn the ignition switch to the ON or ACC position With the 10 ohm
resistor, the gauge should indicate a full-scale reading. With the 73 ohm resistor, the gauge should
read at the E graduation mark. Without any resistor (open circuit) the gauge reading should be the
same as with the ignition switch in the OFF position. If reading is OK, replace wire connection to
sender.
If the gauge pointer does not move and stays below the E mark, check for an open circuit in the
wiring assembly, the gauge windings, or the instrument cluster printed circuit. If the gauge pointer
moves without any resistor connected, check for a short circuit in the lead to the sender unit. If the
gauge reads out of calibration, replace IVR and retest. If still out of calibration, replace the gauge.
GAUGE BENCH TEST FOR OPEN WINDINGS
To test the gauge for open windings, remove the gauge from the vehicle. Connect the gauge to an
ohmmeter and read the resistance. An upward movement of the needle from 10 to 14 ohms is
normal, because the current increases the temperature of the gauge coil (windings). If the
ohmmeter reads below 10 ohms or above 14 ohms, replace the gauge.
FUEL TANK DAMAGE
If fuel indicating system components are functioning properly and inaccurate indications continue,
check the fuel tank for damage which may have changed the fuel sender mounting angle and/or
damaged the fuel sender.

Operation
Barometric Pressure Switch: Description and Operation
The Ignition Barometric Pressure Switch, is used to control spark timing and/or other electrical
devices in response to changes in barometric pressure (i.e., altitude). When controlling spark
timing, the ignition module (12A244) is made to vary the spark timing by an amount determined by
calibration resistors in the switch assembly. In normal operation, spark timing is increased for
vehicle operation above the switching point (increasing altitude) and retarded for vehicle operation
below the switching point (decreasing altitude). When controlling other electrical devices, only
On/Off control is provided; with On (switch closed) above the switching point and Off (switch open)
below the switching point. Some switch assemblies control both spark timing and another device
(dual switch assembly) and other switch assemblies control only one or the other (single switch
assembly).

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
The Knock Sensor, is a piezoelectric accelerometer with the sensor designed to resonate at
approximately the same frequency as the engine knock frequency. The sensor uses the resonant
frequency to mechanically amplify the vibrations. This method allows relatively large signals to be
achieved without electrical amplification and with small package size.
The sensor has a thin circular piezoelectric ceramic disk which is bonded to a metal diaphragm.
Electrical connections are made through a two pin integral connector.

LACK OF POWER 7.5L, 5.8L, 5.0L, 4.9L - CATALYTIC CONVERTER DIAGNOSTIC TIPS
LIGHT TRUCK: 1986-91 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES 1988-91 F SUPER DUTY,
F47
ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Engine - Lack of Power/No Start Diagnosis > Page 492
NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to update model applicability and to revise the
part number of the Low Volatility Sealant.
ISSUE: EGO sensors can be contaminated if volatile types of silicone are used when servicing the
engine. Volatile silicones can migrate throughout the system during the first one hundred hours of
service. They are commonly found in liquid "silicone rubber" sealants and gasket material. These
products are commonly sold in tubes and caulking-type cartridges.
ACTION: When service is performed on the engine, only use new low volatility silicone sealant
(F1AZ-19662-A) where specified. Also replace the contaminated EGO sensor if required.
CAUTION: DO NOT SUBSTITUTE CONVENTIONAL SILICONE RUBBER SEALANTS WHEN
LOW VOLATILITY SILICONE SEALANT IS SPECIFIED.

WARNING: This modification is authorized only for the listed engines. Performing this modification
on other engine calibrations is unauthorized and could create liability under applicable federal or
local laws.
A new design Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) has been released for all 1986 EEC IV applications.
The new TPS is designed to eliminate a false Self-Test Code 53. A Code 53 indicates the TPS
system has failed at the wide open throttle position (approximately 5.0 volts), The new TPS
eliminates false Code 53 by limiting the wide open throttle voltage to 4.75 volts. With the new TPS,
Code 53 will only result from a circuit or TPS malfunction.
The new Throttle Position Sensors can be used to replace faulty sensors on 1985 vehicles. If the
old design service part is used, a false Code 53 may result.

ISSUE: All Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) mounting screws have a "Pozidrive" head. The
"Pozidrive" head looks a lot like a Phillips screw head. Use of a Phillips head screwdriver to remove
a "Pozidrive" screw will normally result in a rounded or damaged screw head. Many technicians
think it is an overtorqued or "frozen" screw. An adhesive was also used as a thread sealant starting
with the 1988 model year. This adhesive requires still more effort to loosen and remove the screw.
ACTION: To prevent rounded or damages screw heads when servicing the TPS mounting screws,
technicians should always use a # 2 "Pozidrive" screwdriver.

Fuel Pump Inertia Switch: Description and Operation
The inertia Switch, is used in conjunction with an electric fuel pump. The purpose of the inertia
switch is to shut off the fuel pump in the event of an accident. It consists of a steel ball held in place
by a magnet. When a sharp impact occurs, the ball breaks loose from the magnet, rolls up a
conical ramp and strikes a target plate which opens the electrical contacts of the switch and
thereby shuts off the electric fuel pump. Once the switch is open, it must be manually reset before
re-starting the vehicle. The location of the switch is discussed in the owners guide.

Fuel Pump Inertia Switch: Testing and Inspection
Push down on the reset button to make sure the switch is closed.
Use DVOM with LOS button On and measure voltage across both terminals of the inertia switch. If
DVOM reading is greater than 0.3V, replace the inertia switch.
NOTE: In the closed position, the button can be depressed an additional 1/16-inch against a spring.
This is a normal condition and does not adversely effect the switch operation.

WARNING: This modification is authorized only for the listed engines. Performing this modification
on other engine calibrations is unauthorized and could create liability under applicable federal or
local laws.
A new design Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) has been released for all 1986 EEC IV applications.
The new TPS is designed to eliminate a false Self-Test Code 53. A Code 53 indicates the TPS
system has failed at the wide open throttle position (approximately 5.0 volts), The new TPS
eliminates false Code 53 by limiting the wide open throttle voltage to 4.75 volts. With the new TPS,
Code 53 will only result from a circuit or TPS malfunction.
The new Throttle Position Sensors can be used to replace faulty sensors on 1985 vehicles. If the
old design service part is used, a false Code 53 may result.

ISSUE: All Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) mounting screws have a "Pozidrive" head. The
"Pozidrive" head looks a lot like a Phillips screw head. Use of a Phillips head screwdriver to remove
a "Pozidrive" screw will normally result in a rounded or damaged screw head. Many technicians
think it is an overtorqued or "frozen" screw. An adhesive was also used as a thread sealant starting
with the 1988 model year. This adhesive requires still more effort to loosen and remove the screw.
ACTION: To prevent rounded or damages screw heads when servicing the TPS mounting screws,
technicians should always use a # 2 "Pozidrive" screwdriver.

Hall Effect Sensor: Description and Operation
Profile Ignition Pickup
The PIP signal is created in the Hall Effect and Stator assembly and indicates crankshaft position
and engine RPM Fig. 21. The PIP signal is fed to both the TFI module and the ECA.
PIP Sensor
COMPONENTS The Hall Effect device is made up of a voltage regulator, a Hall voltage generator,
Darlington amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and an open collector output stage integrated in a single
monolithic silicon chip Fig. 22. A signal is produced when a ferrous material is passed through the
opening and the flux lines decrease. The Hall generator (Hall device) sends a sine wave signal to
the Darlington amplifier. The Darlington amplifier inverts the signal. When the signal is low the
output is high. When the signal is high the output is low. This output then goes to the Schmitt
trigger. The Schmitt trigger shapes the signal into a square wave (digital high) signal.
Ford F 150 2wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-351 5.8L (1986))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Ignition System > Hall Effect Sensor, Ignition > Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 623
PIP Signal Operation
OPERATION The output signal to the Darlington amplifier is high when the window (on the
armature) allows the magnetic field to reach the Hall device (switch off) Fig. 23. When the TAB
shunts the magnetic field (closes) away from the Hall device the signal is low to the Darlington
amplifier (switch on).
Hall Effect Sensor
In other words when one of the windows or openings is in the gap between the Hall device and the
permanent magnet, the field stays strong and the voltage is high since the magnetic path is
complete from the magnet, through the Hall device, and back to the magnet. In this case the switch
is off and the Hall Effect does not send a signal. When the TAB enters the gap, the armature cuts
off the magnetic path to the Hall device and its voltage drops. In this case the switch is on and the
Hall Effect device sends a signal. The signal is switched On and Off as long as the armature is
rotating (distributor is turning) and opening and closing the magnetic path. This is the signal used
by the ECA to interpret crankshaft position and engine RPM. The signal can also be used by the
TFI module if the SPOUT signal from the ECA is lost.

Signature PIP
SIGNATURE PIP Some Electronic Engine Control (EEC) vehicles are equipped with a signature
profile ignition pickup signal. The regular type armature used for the PIP signal has the same size
tabs and windows. In a signature PIP signal armature, one of the tabs is narrower than the others
Fig. 25. The narrower tab provides a different signal to the ECA when it passes through the Hall
Effect switch. When the ECA sees the narrow tab it knows when to properly pulse the fuel injectors.
This system is used on cars and trucks where the ECA needs to know when to pulse certain
injectors. For example, on sequential electronic fuel injection (SEFI) systems, each injector is
pulsed to coincide with its intake valve opening. With the signature PIP, the ECA knows when the
No. 1 cylinder needs to be supplied with fuel.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
The Knock Sensor, is a piezoelectric accelerometer with the sensor designed to resonate at
approximately the same frequency as the engine knock frequency. The sensor uses the resonant
frequency to mechanically amplify the vibrations. This method allows relatively large signals to be
achieved without electrical amplification and with small package size.
The sensor has a thin circular piezoelectric ceramic disk which is bonded to a metal diaphragm.
Electrical connections are made through a two pin integral connector.

be corrected before making any other tests. Use only a multimeter of 5000 ohm/volt rating or higher
when performing the clutch switch test.
2. Disconnect switch pigtail connector from speed control harness connector and connect an
ohmmeter to the two switch connector terminals.
3. With clutch pedal in the fully released position, the resistance should be less than 5 ohms. With
clutch pedal fully depressed, the circuit should be open.
4. If switch does not function as described, remove and replace switch.

Figure 1
This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to correct the service parts for the Caster
Adjusters.
ISSUE: Two new alignment adjusters are now available for service. These new parts provide one
degree of caster adjustment along with one degree of camber. Steering pull may be caused by
caster split. The affected trucks are 4x4 Twin Traction Beam vehicles.
ACTION: Use the following procedure to determine the position of the service adjuster sleeve.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for installation details.
The new alignment adjusters are similiar to the current camber adjusters. The one exception is the
rotational position of the adjuster sleeve to obtain the desired adjustment.
ADJUSTER SLEEVE APPLICATION FOR RANGER BRONCO II, BRONCO, AND F-150
1. Measure and record the alignment readings.
2. Determine what alignment adjuster sleeves are on the truck.
NOTE: IF AFTERMARKET ADJUSTER SLEEVES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, IT WILL BE
NECESSARY TO FIND OUT WHAT CASTER AND CAMBER SLEEVES WERE USED.
If the adjuster sleeve is not marked or cannot be identified, install a 0 degree adjuster sleeve to use
as a reference point.
3. Determine what adjuster sleeve change is required. Take your desired alignment (what you want
to end up with) and compare it to the readings taken in Step 1 to determine the change.
4. Pick the adjuster sleeve that will get you the closest to the desired alignment.
5. Install and position the adjuster sleeve, Figure 1.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for service details. See the
following caster adjuster sleeve chart and camber adjuster sleeve chart for the correct service
parts.

LIGHT TRUCK 1980-86 F-150 (4x4), BRONCO ISSUE:
A steering drift or pull may be caused by excessive front wheel side-to-side caster angle
differences.
ACTION: If a front axle alignment check shows excessive (more than 3/4 degree split) side-to-side
caster angle difference causing the vehicle to drift or pull, install a new caster adjustment kit
(E0TZ-3K064-A) which allows the front axle side-to-side caster angles to be changed up to 2-1/2
degrees in 1/2 degree increments. New front axle to radius arm brackets must also be replaced
when the caster kit is installed. Refer to the following service procedure for step-by-step
instructions.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE DOING WORK ON THE VEHICLE.
To correct caster side-to-side difference of up to 1- 1/2 degrees, install a caster adjuster plate on
the radius arm that has the lower caster reading. Adjuster plates are identified R.H. and L.H.
To correct caster side-to-side difference more than 1-1/2 degrees, install the caster plate on both
radius arms. Installing both plates will allow a caster split change of 2-1/2 degrees (+1-1/2 degrees
on the low caster side, -1 degree on the high caster side).
1. Remove radius arm from vehicle.
Figure 14 - Article 87-4-16
2. Locate the template, included in the kit, on the bottom flange of radius arm over the existing
holes, as shown in Figure 14.
NOTE: Right arm adjustment is shown. One template is used to modify both right and left hand
arms. When modifying right arm, position template with printed side down (printed side up for left
arm).

STEERING - DRIFT/PULL - RUBBER BALL SOCKET LINKAGE WIND-UP
LIGHT TRUCK 1985-86 E, F SERIES, BRONCO
Complaints of drifts and pulls on certain 1985-86 E, F Series and Bronco models may be caused
by the installation procedure of the steering linkage. BECAUSE THE RUBBER TENDS TO
RETURN TO ITS INSTALLED POSITION, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE INSTALLATION BE
ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE FRONT WHEELS AND THE PITMAN ARM IN THE STRAIGHT
AHEAD POSITION, AND THE STUD SEATED IN THE TAPERED HOLE PRIOR TO TIGHTENING
THE NUTS. Care should be taken with the installation to prevent a drift condition.
To diagnose if a preload in the rubber is causing the drift, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Loosen the studs in the tapered holes at the pitman arm and the left and right spindles (i.e.,
disengage the stud from the hole so that it is no longer seated).
2. Hand install the nuts so that the stud is free to turn inside the tapered hole.
3. INSTALL COTTER PINS IN ALL THE STUDS.
4. Drive the vehicle. If it no longer drifts, then it can be assumed that the rubber was causing the
drift. If it continues to drift, the condition is NOT being caused by the rubber ball sockets.
5. In either case, do not replace the steering linkage.
Reinstall the linkage as follows:
F Series and Bronco
1. Ensure the pitman arm and wheels are in the straight ahead position. (The pitman arm is exactly
straight ahead when the clear vision is at 0~.)
2. Lock the steering wheel straight ahead and loose assemble the steering linkage to the pitman
arm and then to the spindles.
3. Being careful not to change the position of the pitman arm, torque the steering linkage nuts to 65
ft.lbs. (88.1 N-m) The recommended sequence for tightening is: 1) the pitman arm, 2) the right side
spindle and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in if necessary.
Econoline
1. Ensure that the wheels are in the straight ahead position.
2. Loose assemble the steering linkage to the spindles and the pitman arm.
3. Being careful not to move the wheels from the straight ahead position, torque the steering
linkage nuts to 65 ft.lbs. The recommended tightening sequence is: 1) the right side spindle, 2) the
pitman arm and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in and reset the clear vision if necessary.
The above procedure will eliminate any of the drift being caused by the rubber ball sockets. If the
vehicle still drifts, refer to Section 19 of the Light Truck Shop Manual for further diagnosis.

STEERING - DRIFT/PULL CASTER SPLIT ADJUSTMENT
LIGHT TRUCK 1980-86 F250-350 4x2; 1976-86 E100-350
A side-to-side front wheel caster difference greater than 3/4 degree can contribute to a vehicle drift
or pull in the direction of the side with less caster. The service kit (E5TZ-3K064-A) can be used to
increase the front wheel caster angle on either or both wheels to balance the caster split to correct
a vehicle drift/pull concern. The kit contains complete parts and instructions needed to modify the
front radius arm and mount a metal cam on the bottom flange of the radius arm. The kit can
increase caster from 1/2 degree to 3 degrees, in 1/2 degree increments. It is not designed to
decrease caster.
To increase front wheel caster angle of subject vehicles and/or to balance a caster split, the
following procedure is suggested:
1. Remove the radius arm from the vehicle as shown in Section 14-21 of the Reference Shop
Manual and choose the appropriate paper template applicable to the vehicle model.
Figure 8 - POSITIONING TEMPLATE TO LOWER FLANGE OF RADIUS ARM
2. Locate the template (3B474) on the bottom flange of the radius arm. Refer to Figure 8 for a
typical arm modification for the right hand radius arm. One template per vehicle model is used to
modify both the right and left hand radius arms. When modifying the right hand arm, position the

template with the printed side downward. The template locates off of one of two existing holes in
the radius arm. The E100-350 template is shaped to match the contours of the radius arm.
Figure 9 - HOLE DRILLING INSTRUCTIONS - CAM ATTACHMENT TO LOWER FLANGE
RADIUS ARM
3. With template secure, make a punch mark at the center of the small hole inside the printed
circle. Scribe the slot printed/cut-out on the template and die-grind out the slot at the axle-attaching
hole the same size as the slot in the template and de-burr the surface avoiding rounding the edges
of the slot. Refer to Figure 9.

4. Drill a 0.228 inch diameter hole at the punch mark. Use this hole to mount the adjusting cam with
the 1/4-20 self-tapping screw supplied. Refer to Figure 10.
5. Figure 10 shows a typical cam installation. Each hole in the cam represents a 1/2 degree caster
increase. A caster increase of approximately 2 degrees for the E100-350, for example, will be
obtained by mounting the cam with the selftapping screw in the No. 2 hole of the cam to the lower
flange of the radius arm.

6. Figure 11 shows a typical vehicle installation. TORQUE BOLT "A" AND NUT "B" TO 270-330
FT. LBS. When increasing caster 2 degrees or more, the ears of the radius arm should be bent
upward slightly to help install and seat the axles. Do not use heat to bend.
7. Reset front wheel toe after installation is complete. AFTER THE DESIRED ALIGNMENT IS
ASSURED THE CAM MUST BE WELDED TO THE ARM ARC WELD ONE INCH MINIMUM
LENGTH ALONG TWO SIDES OF THE CAM.
NOTE: The metal adjusting cam plate has a Ford logo stamped on it to identify it for E100- 150 and
F250-350 4x2 vehicles only on vehicles with a front stabilizer bar. The bar mounting bracket may
be reworked to provide clearance for the self-tapping screw. Do not use parts from kit E4TZ3K064-A on these vehicles.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to correct the service parts for the Caster
Adjusters.
ISSUE: Two new alignment adjusters are now available for service. These new parts provide one
degree of caster adjustment along with one degree of camber. Steering pull may be caused by
caster split. The affected trucks are 4x4 Twin Traction Beam vehicles.
ACTION: Use the following procedure to determine the position of the service adjuster sleeve.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for installation details.
The new alignment adjusters are similiar to the current camber adjusters. The one exception is the
rotational position of the adjuster sleeve to obtain the desired adjustment.
ADJUSTER SLEEVE APPLICATION FOR RANGER BRONCO II, BRONCO, AND F-150
1. Measure and record the alignment readings.
2. Determine what alignment adjuster sleeves are on the truck.
NOTE: IF AFTERMARKET ADJUSTER SLEEVES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, IT WILL BE
NECESSARY TO FIND OUT WHAT CASTER AND CAMBER SLEEVES WERE USED.
If the adjuster sleeve is not marked or cannot be identified, install a 0 degree adjuster sleeve to use
as a reference point.
3. Determine what adjuster sleeve change is required. Take your desired alignment (what you want
to end up with) and compare it to the readings taken in Step 1 to determine the change.
4. Pick the adjuster sleeve that will get you the closest to the desired alignment.
5. Install and position the adjuster sleeve, Figure 1.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for service details. See the
following caster adjuster sleeve chart and camber adjuster sleeve chart for the correct service
parts.

AHEAD POSITION, AND THE STUD SEATED IN THE TAPERED HOLE PRIOR TO TIGHTENING
THE NUTS. Care should be taken with the installation to prevent a drift condition.
To diagnose if a preload in the rubber is causing the drift, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Loosen the studs in the tapered holes at the pitman arm and the left and right spindles (i.e.,
disengage the stud from the hole so that it is no longer seated).
2. Hand install the nuts so that the stud is free to turn inside the tapered hole.
3. INSTALL COTTER PINS IN ALL THE STUDS.
4. Drive the vehicle. If it no longer drifts, then it can be assumed that the rubber was causing the
drift. If it continues to drift, the condition is NOT being caused by the rubber ball sockets.
5. In either case, do not replace the steering linkage.
Reinstall the linkage as follows:
F Series and Bronco
1. Ensure the pitman arm and wheels are in the straight ahead position. (The pitman arm is exactly
straight ahead when the clear vision is at 0~.)
2. Lock the steering wheel straight ahead and loose assemble the steering linkage to the pitman
arm and then to the spindles.
3. Being careful not to change the position of the pitman arm, torque the steering linkage nuts to 65
ft.lbs. (88.1 N-m) The recommended sequence for tightening is: 1) the pitman arm, 2) the right side
spindle and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in if necessary.
Econoline
1. Ensure that the wheels are in the straight ahead position.
2. Loose assemble the steering linkage to the spindles and the pitman arm.
3. Being careful not to move the wheels from the straight ahead position, torque the steering

pitman arm and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in and reset the clear vision if necessary.
The above procedure will eliminate any of the drift being caused by the rubber ball sockets. If the

A side-to-side front wheel caster difference greater than 3/4 degree can contribute to a vehicle drift
or pull in the direction of the side with less caster. The service kit (E5TZ-3K064-A) can be used to
increase the front wheel caster angle on either or both wheels to balance the caster split to correct
a vehicle drift/pull concern. The kit contains complete parts and instructions needed to modify the
front radius arm and mount a metal cam on the bottom flange of the radius arm. The kit can
increase caster from 1/2 degree to 3 degrees, in 1/2 degree increments. It is not designed to
decrease caster.
To increase front wheel caster angle of subject vehicles and/or to balance a caster split, the
following procedure is suggested:
1. Remove the radius arm from the vehicle as shown in Section 14-21 of the Reference Shop
Manual and choose the appropriate paper template applicable to the vehicle model.
Figure 8 - POSITIONING TEMPLATE TO LOWER FLANGE OF RADIUS ARM
2. Locate the template (3B474) on the bottom flange of the radius arm. Refer to Figure 8 for a
typical arm modification for the right hand radius arm. One template per vehicle model is used to
modify both the right and left hand radius arms. When modifying the right hand arm, position the

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to correct the service parts for the Caster
Adjusters.
ISSUE: Two new alignment adjusters are now available for service. These new parts provide one
degree of caster adjustment along with one degree of camber. Steering pull may be caused by
caster split. The affected trucks are 4x4 Twin Traction Beam vehicles.
ACTION: Use the following procedure to determine the position of the service adjuster sleeve.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for installation details.
The new alignment adjusters are similiar to the current camber adjusters. The one exception is the
rotational position of the adjuster sleeve to obtain the desired adjustment.
ADJUSTER SLEEVE APPLICATION FOR RANGER BRONCO II, BRONCO, AND F-150
1. Measure and record the alignment readings.
2. Determine what alignment adjuster sleeves are on the truck.
NOTE: IF AFTERMARKET ADJUSTER SLEEVES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, IT WILL BE
NECESSARY TO FIND OUT WHAT CASTER AND CAMBER SLEEVES WERE USED.
If the adjuster sleeve is not marked or cannot be identified, install a 0 degree adjuster sleeve to use
as a reference point.
3. Determine what adjuster sleeve change is required. Take your desired alignment (what you want
to end up with) and compare it to the readings taken in Step 1 to determine the change.
4. Pick the adjuster sleeve that will get you the closest to the desired alignment.
5. Install and position the adjuster sleeve, Figure 1.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for service details. See the
following caster adjuster sleeve chart and camber adjuster sleeve chart for the correct service
parts.

LIGHT TRUCK 1980-86 F-150 (4x4), BRONCO ISSUE:
A steering drift or pull may be caused by excessive front wheel side-to-side caster angle
differences.
ACTION: If a front axle alignment check shows excessive (more than 3/4 degree split) side-to-side
caster angle difference causing the vehicle to drift or pull, install a new caster adjustment kit
(E0TZ-3K064-A) which allows the front axle side-to-side caster angles to be changed up to 2-1/2
degrees in 1/2 degree increments. New front axle to radius arm brackets must also be replaced
when the caster kit is installed. Refer to the following service procedure for step-by-step
instructions.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE DOING WORK ON THE VEHICLE.
To correct caster side-to-side difference of up to 1- 1/2 degrees, install a caster adjuster plate on
the radius arm that has the lower caster reading. Adjuster plates are identified R.H. and L.H.
To correct caster side-to-side difference more than 1-1/2 degrees, install the caster plate on both
radius arms. Installing both plates will allow a caster split change of 2-1/2 degrees (+1-1/2 degrees
on the low caster side, -1 degree on the high caster side).
1. Remove radius arm from vehicle.

LIGHT TRUCK 1980-86 F250-350 4x2; 1976-86 E100-350
A side-to-side front wheel caster difference greater than 3/4 degree can contribute to a vehicle drift
or pull in the direction of the side with less caster. The service kit (E5TZ-3K064-A) can be used to
increase the front wheel caster angle on either or both wheels to balance the caster split to correct
a vehicle drift/pull concern. The kit contains complete parts and instructions needed to modify the
front radius arm and mount a metal cam on the bottom flange of the radius arm. The kit can
increase caster from 1/2 degree to 3 degrees, in 1/2 degree increments. It is not designed to
decrease caster.
To increase front wheel caster angle of subject vehicles and/or to balance a caster split, the
following procedure is suggested:
1. Remove the radius arm from the vehicle as shown in Section 14-21 of the Reference Shop
Manual and choose the appropriate paper template applicable to the vehicle model.

Figure 8 - POSITIONING TEMPLATE TO LOWER FLANGE OF RADIUS ARM
2. Locate the template (3B474) on the bottom flange of the radius arm. Refer to Figure 8 for a
typical arm modification for the right hand radius arm. One template per vehicle model is used to
modify both the right and left hand radius arms. When modifying the right hand arm, position the
template with the printed side downward. The template locates off of one of two existing holes in
the radius arm. The E100-350 template is shaped to match the contours of the radius arm.

3. With template secure, make a punch mark at the center of the small hole inside the printed
circle. Scribe the slot printed/cut-out on the template and die-grind out the slot at the axle-attaching
hole the same size as the slot in the template and de-burr the surface avoiding rounding the edges
of the slot. Refer to Figure 9.

4. Drill a 0.228 inch diameter hole at the punch mark. Use this hole to mount the adjusting cam with
the 1/4-20 self-tapping screw supplied. Refer to Figure 10.
5. Figure 10 shows a typical cam installation. Each hole in the cam represents a 1/2 degree caster
increase. A caster increase of approximately 2 degrees for the E100-350, for example, will be
obtained by mounting the cam with the selftapping screw in the No. 2 hole of the cam to the lower
flange of the radius arm.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to correct the service parts for the Caster
Adjusters.
ISSUE: Two new alignment adjusters are now available for service. These new parts provide one
degree of caster adjustment along with one degree of camber. Steering pull may be caused by
caster split. The affected trucks are 4x4 Twin Traction Beam vehicles.
ACTION: Use the following procedure to determine the position of the service adjuster sleeve.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for installation details.
The new alignment adjusters are similiar to the current camber adjusters. The one exception is the
rotational position of the adjuster sleeve to obtain the desired adjustment.
ADJUSTER SLEEVE APPLICATION FOR RANGER BRONCO II, BRONCO, AND F-150
1. Measure and record the alignment readings.
2. Determine what alignment adjuster sleeves are on the truck.
NOTE: IF AFTERMARKET ADJUSTER SLEEVES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, IT WILL BE
NECESSARY TO FIND OUT WHAT CASTER AND CAMBER SLEEVES WERE USED.
If the adjuster sleeve is not marked or cannot be identified, install a 0 degree adjuster sleeve to use
as a reference point.
3. Determine what adjuster sleeve change is required. Take your desired alignment (what you want
to end up with) and compare it to the readings taken in Step 1 to determine the change.
4. Pick the adjuster sleeve that will get you the closest to the desired alignment.
5. Install and position the adjuster sleeve, Figure

LIGHT TRUCK 1980-86 F-150 (4x4), BRONCO ISSUE:
A steering drift or pull may be caused by excessive front wheel side-to-side caster angle
differences.
ACTION: If a front axle alignment check shows excessive (more than 3/4 degree split) side-to-side
caster angle difference causing the vehicle to drift or pull, install a new caster adjustment kit
(E0TZ-3K064-A) which allows the front axle side-to-side caster angles to be changed up to 2-1/2
degrees in 1/2 degree increments. New front axle to radius arm brackets must also be replaced
when the caster kit is installed. Refer to the following service procedure for step-by-step
instructions.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE DOING WORK ON THE VEHICLE.
To correct caster side-to-side difference of up to 1- 1/2 degrees, install a caster adjuster plate on
the radius arm that has the lower caster reading. Adjuster plates are identified R.H. and L.H.
To correct caster side-to-side difference more than 1-1/2 degrees, install the caster plate on both
radius arms. Installing both plates will allow a caster split change of 2-1/2 degrees (+1-1/2 degrees
on the low caster side, -1 degree on the high caster side).
1. Remove radius arm from vehicle.

STEERING - DRIFT/PULL - RUBBER BALL SOCKET LINKAGE WIND-UP
LIGHT TRUCK 1985-86 E, F SERIES, BRONCO
Complaints of drifts and pulls on certain 1985-86 E, F Series and Bronco models may be caused
by the installation procedure of the steering linkage. BECAUSE THE RUBBER TENDS TO
RETURN TO ITS INSTALLED POSITION, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE INSTALLATION BE
ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE FRONT WHEELS AND THE PITMAN ARM IN THE STRAIGHT
AHEAD POSITION, AND THE STUD SEATED IN THE TAPERED HOLE PRIOR TO TIGHTENING
THE NUTS. Care should be taken with the installation to prevent a drift condition.
To diagnose if a preload in the rubber is causing the drift, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Loosen the studs in the tapered holes at the pitman arm and the left and right spindles (i.e.,
disengage the stud from the hole so that it is no longer seated).
2. Hand install the nuts so that the stud is free to turn inside the tapered hole.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service
Bulletins for Alignment: > Page 795
3. INSTALL COTTER PINS IN ALL THE STUDS.
4. Drive the vehicle. If it no longer drifts, then it can be assumed that the rubber was causing the
drift. If it continues to drift, the condition is NOT being caused by the rubber ball sockets.
5. In either case, do not replace the steering linkage.
Reinstall the linkage as follows:
F Series and Bronco
1. Ensure the pitman arm and wheels are in the straight ahead position. (The pitman arm is exactly
straight ahead when the clear vision is at 0~.)
2. Lock the steering wheel straight ahead and loose assemble the steering linkage to the pitman
arm and then to the spindles.
3. Being careful not to change the position of the pitman arm, torque the steering linkage nuts to 65
ft.lbs. (88.1 N-m) The recommended sequence for tightening is: 1) the pitman arm, 2) the right side
spindle and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in if necessary.
Econoline
1. Ensure that the wheels are in the straight ahead position.
2. Loose assemble the steering linkage to the spindles and the pitman arm.
3. Being careful not to move the wheels from the straight ahead position, torque the steering
linkage nuts to 65 ft.lbs. The recommended tightening sequence is: 1) the right side spindle, 2) the
pitman arm and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in and reset the clear vision if necessary.
The above procedure will eliminate any of the drift being caused by the rubber ball sockets. If the
vehicle still drifts, refer to Section 19 of the Light Truck Shop Manual for further diagnosis.

Fig. 8 Measuring Riding Height
Prior to checking caster and camber, ensure vehicle front ride height is within {1/8} inch side to side
1980-87 E-100-350. On 1980-87 F-100-350 models, the left side ride height should be within
0-{3/8} inch higher than the right side ride height. On 1980-87 F-150-350 (4x4) and Bronco, the
front ride heights should be within {3/16} inch side to side. Refer to Figs. 6, 7 and 8. If the vehicle
ride heights are not within specifications, redistribute load on loaded vehicles or slightly load empty
vehicles on one side. If the ride heights cannot be brought within specifications, verify correct
spring installation. The ride height variations stated, are for checking purposes only. The vehicle
does not have to operate within these specifications. Check and correct as necessary all tire
inflation pressures, then check front tires for the same size, ply rating and load range. Check front
wheel bearings and adjust as necessary. If all the above checks have been made, check wheel
alignment with suitable alignment equipment. Using the ride heights obtained earlier, compare
caster and camber readings to those listed in the ``Wheel Alignment Specifications Chart''. If the
caster and camber angles exceed the specifications, inspect front end for damaged suspension
components. Replace as necessary. Alignment equipment indicates a true reading only when the
vehicle's frame is horizontal. Therefore, if the frame is not level (due to tire, spring or load
differences), the caster angle reading must be modified to compensate for the frame angles. If the
front is higher than the rear, subtract the amount of angle from the reading. If the front is lower than
the rear, add the angle. To check frame angle, use a spirit protractor, and take the frame angle
measurement on the lower frame flange at the flat area immediately adjacent to the rear spring
front hanger.

on 1981-87 F-250-350 4 x 4 models with leaf spring front suspension can be adjusted by inserting a
shim between the spring and axle. Shims are available in increments of 0°, 1° and 2°. The 0° shim
is used to adjust side to side ride height when an angled shim is installed on the opposite side of the
axle. On all other models, the caster angle is designed into the axle and is not adjustable. The
camber angle may be adjusted by means of mounting sleeves placed on the upper ball joint, Figs.
9, 10 and 11. Four sleeves are available in {1/2}° camber increments to allow a 3° range of
adjustment from - 1 {1/2}° to +1 {1/2}°.
TOE-IN, ADJUST Check the steering wheel spoke position when the front wheels are in the
straight ahead position. If the spokes are not in the normal position, they can be adjusted while
toe-in is being adjusted.
1. Loosen clamp bolts on each tie rod end sleeve.
2. Adjust toe-in. If steering wheel spokes are in their normal position, lengthen or shorten both rods
equally to obtain correct toe-in. If spokes are not in normal position, make necessary rod
adjustments to obtain correct toe-in and steering wheel spoke alignment.

ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,

If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to
clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge
tolerant throttle body designs released for 1991 and newer model years.

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to
clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge
tolerant throttle body designs released for 1991 and newer model years.

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to
clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge
tolerant throttle body designs released for 1991 and newer model years.

ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.

NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

Distributor Advance Unit: Description and Operation Vacuum Spark Advance Mechanism
The vacuum spark control mechanism can provide spark advance if a single diaphragm assembly
is used or spark advance and retard if a dual diaphragm assembly is used. The diaphragm
assembly used depends on the engine calibration.
Single Diaphragm Assembly
SINGLE DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY The single diaphragm assembly, Fig. 11, also changes the
armature to stator relationship to give spark advance. The stator assembly position is changed by
means of vacuum being applied to the diaphragm assembly. Vacuum applied to the diaphragm
assembly causes the diaphragm and attached diaphragm rod to move, compressing the advance
spring, which controls the rate of advance. The movement of the diaphragm rod, which is attached
to the stator assembly, makes the the stator assembly move with respect to the armature. This
changes the initial armature to stator relationship set during initial timing, causing spark advance.
The stator assembly is mounted on the lower plate assembly which with the diaphragm assembly,
is attached to the distributor base.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks > Distributor, Ignition > Distributor
Advance Unit > Component Information > Description and Operation > Vacuum Spark Advance Mechanism > Page 972
Dual Diaphragm Assembly
DUAL DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY The dual diaphragm assembly, Fig. 12, obtains spark advance in
the same manner as the single diaphragm assembly. In this case vacuum applied to the vacuum
advance port causes the advance diaphragm and attached rod to move, otherwise the action is the
same. Spark retard is done by applying vacuum to the vacuum retard port. This causes the retard
diaphragm to move, compressing the retard spring, which controls the rate of spark retard.
Compressing the retard spring allows the diaphragm rod stop to move due to the force applied by
the advance spring pushing against it by means of the diaphragm rod. The result is the diaphragm
rod moves causing the attached stator assembly to change position with respect to the armature. In
this instance the direction of the stator assembly movement is opposite that occurring during
vacuum advance, resulting in spark retard. NOTE: Any vacuum applied to the advance port
overrides any spark retard caused by vacuum being applied to the retard port.

Distributor Advance Unit: Description and Operation Centrifugal Spark Advance Mechanism
Distributor - Exploded view
The centrifugal advance mechanism varies the relationship of the armature to the stator assembly.
The armature is mounted to the sleeve and plate assembly which rotates in relation to the
distributor shaft. The rotation is a result of the centrifugal weights moving in response to engine
RPM. The movement of the weights change the initial relationship of the armature to the stator
assembly by rotating the sleeve and plate assembly ahead of its static position on the distributor
shaft Fig. 1. This produces spark advance. The rate of movement of the weights is controlled by
calibrated springs.

1986 vehicles are equipped with a new "blade" design distributor rotor. This design replaces the
multi-point rotor used in recent model years. This new rotor requires the use of silicone grease on
the blade. Electrical interference can result from a blade rotor that does not have silicone grease.
The electrical interference affects the distributor stator assembly and can cause engine "missing",
"bucking", or "surging". These drive concerns are usually intermittent and tend to occur during
crank and heavy or wide-open throttle.
It is important to remember not to remove the silicone grease for radio noise concerns, on 1986
vehicles with EEC IV; removing the grease can cause driveability concerns. A future TSB article
will address the radio noise issue.

F47
ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.

> 91 > Engine - Lack of Power/No Start Diagnosis > Page 994
NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

REMOVAL
- Remove the wire from each spark plug by grasping the molded boot with tool T74P-6666-A or
equivalent. Twist the boot until it loosens and then pull it off the spark plug. Do not pull on the wire,
as the connection may become damaged.
- Any wire damaged must be replaced. Each original spark plug wire is numbered for the cylinder to
which it is designated. If wires are not numbered, each wire should be numbered as to the plug
from which it was removed.
- Clean the area around each spark plug port with compressed air.
- Using the proper size spark plug socket remove the spark plugs.
INSTALLATION
Check the gap on each new spark plug and set to specification. See: Specifications
- Install each spark plug and tighten to 9-20 Nm (7-15 ft-lbs).
Cylinder Numbering And Distributor Location
Location On Distributor
- Coat the inside of each spark plug boot with silicone dielectric compound. Connect each spark
plug wire to the plug from which it was removed. Be sure each wire is fully depressed on each plug
and molded boot is firmly in place.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
COMPRESSION TEST
1. Ensure oil in crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at proper level and battery is properly
charged. Operate vehicle until engine is at normal
operating temperature. Turn OFF ignition switch, then remove all spark plugs.
2. Set throttle plates (and choke plates, if equipped) in wide-open position. 3. Install a compression
gauge such as Rotunda Compression Tester 059-00009 or equivalent in No. 1 cylinder. 4. Install
an auxiliary starter switch in starting circuit. With ignition switch in the OFF position, and using
auxiliary starter switch, crank engine at
least five compression strokes and record highest reading. Note the approximate number of
compression strokes required to obtain the highest reading.
5. Repeat test on each cylinder cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes.
TEST CONCLUSION
1. The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75 percent of the highest. 2. If one or more cylinders read low, squirt
approximately one tablespoon of heavy SAE 50 weight or equivalent engine oil on top of the
pistons in
the low reading cylinders. Repeat compression pressure check on these cylinders. a. If
compression improves considerably, piston rings are at fault. b. If compression does not improve,
valves are sticking or seating poorly. c. If two adjacent cylinders indicate low compression
pressures and squirting oil on pistons does not increase compression, cause may be a
cylinder head gasket leak between cylinders. Engine oil and/or coolant in cylinders could result
from this problem.

Fig. 3 Checking collapsed tappet clearance
Valves, Adjust To provide a means to compensate for dimensional changes in the valve train and
provide for valve adjustment, .060 inch shorter or longer pushrods are available. If the valve
clearance is less than the minimum, the .060 inch shorter pushrod should be used. If the clearance
is more than the maximum, the longer pushrod should be used. To check the valve clearance,
proceed as follows:
1. Mark crankshaft pulley at three locations, with No. 1 location at TDC timing mark (end of
compression stroke), location No. 2 one full turn (360°) clockwise from TDC and No. 3 location one
quarter turn clockwise (90°) from position No. 2, Fig. 2.
2. Turn crankshaft to number 1 location, then compress valve lifter using tool T71P-6513-A or
equivalent, Fig. 3, and check the clearance on the following valves:
a. On V8-302 and 460 engines, check intake valve Nos. 1 , 7 and 8; exhaust valve Nos. 1, 4 and 5.
b. On V8-351, check intake valve Nos. 1, 4 and No. 8; exhaust valve Nos. 1, 3 and 7.
3. Turn crankshaft to number 2 location, then compress valve lifter using tool T71P-6513-A or

LIGHT TRUCK: 1986-91 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES 1988-91 F SUPER DUTY,
F47
ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.
Ford F 150 2wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-351 5.8L (1986))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Filters > Air Cleaner Housing > Air Cleaner Element <--> [Air Filter Element] >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine - Lack of Power/No Start Diagnosis > Page 1048
NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

2. Thoroughly mix 4 fl oz (118 ml) of Reinhibitor # 1 to each gallon of distilled ethylene glycol.
3. Thoroughly mix 4 fl oz (118 ml) of Reinhibitor # 2 to each gallon of distilled ethylene glycol.
4. Mix well.
5. Check the pH level of the coolant. The pH level must be between 9 and 11.
6. Add enough water to the concentrated coolant to produce a 50/50 mixture of coolant and water.
NOTE:
THE CONCENTRATED COOLANT MUST BE MIXED WITH WATER TO MEET THE
NECESSARY ENGINE FREEZE PROTECTION.
7. Check the coolant freeze point of the 50% coolant solution. Freeze point should be -34°F
(-37°C).

ISSUE: Ford Motor Company does not authorize the use of recycled engine coolant nor do they
sanction the use of any machines or devices that recycle engine coolant.
Recycled engine coolant is not equivalent to the factory fill OEM coolant, the Ford premium cooling
system fluid (E2FZ-19549-AA) or the Ford heavy duty low silicate cooling fluid (E6HZ-19549-A).
The quality of engine coolant degenerates with use. Recycling used engine coolant is very difficult
to do without exposing the used coolant to additional foreign substances. Merely adding an additive
to the coolant will not restore it.
ACTION: Use new engine coolant that meets Ford Motor coolant specifications for the engine
being serviced.
Properly dispose of the used coolant.
WARNING: THE DISPOSAL OF ALL USED ENGINE COOLANT MUST ALWAYS BE DONE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LAWS AND
REGULATIONS.

F47
ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.

Diagnosis > Page 1147
NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

CALIBRATION: All with EEC IV
1986 vehicles are equipped with a new "blade" design distributor rotor. This design replaces the
multi-point rotor used in recent model years. This new rotor requires the use of silicone grease on
the blade. Electrical interference can result from a blade rotor that does not have silicone grease.
The electrical interference affects the distributor stator assembly and can cause engine "missing",
"bucking", or "surging". These drive concerns are usually intermittent and tend to occur during
crank and heavy or wide-open throttle.
It is important to remember not to remove the silicone grease for radio noise concerns, on 1986
vehicles with EEC IV; removing the grease can cause driveability concerns. A future TSB article
will address the radio noise issue.

OIL DIPSTICK - ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECKING PROCEDURE - GASOLINE ENGINES
LIGHT TRUCK 1986 AND PRIOR
MEDIUM/HEAVY TRUCK 1986 AND PRIOR
Figure 17 - Dipstick
To correctly check the engine oil level, the vehicle must be parked on a level surface. Allow a few
minutes after shutting the engine off for oil to drain down before checking. For consistent oil level
readings, insert the dipstick with the loop of the handle as shown in Figure 17.
Figure 18 - Dipstick - Calibration
Figure 19 - Dipstick - Calibration
Dipsticks in Ford vehicles do not incorporate a Full mark. Instead, the dipstick will have marks
indicating a Safe range and an Add range as shown in Figure 18 or 19. When the correct amount
of oil is in the engine, the oil level indication will be in the Safe range or above the Minimum mark,
but not necessarily at the top of the Safe range or at the Maximum mark.
When the indicated oil level is in the Add range put one quart of oil in the engine. Recheck the oil
level to determine if the oil level is now in the Safe range or above the Minimum mark.
Add and recheck oil level one quart at a time until the oil level indicator moves into the Safe range
or above the Minimum mark. Do not add additional oil to bring the level to the top of the Safe range
or to the Maximum mark since this may result in overfill and increased oil consumption. If the
accuracy of the engine oil dipstick is in doubt, it may be verified in the following manner:
^ Drain the oil and install a new filter.
^ Put in the specified amount of oil for an oil and filter change. (See owner guide)
^ Start the engine and operate a few minutes.
^ Shut off the engine and allow a few minutes for the oil to drain down.
^ Check the oil level with the dipstick.
^ If the oil level does not indicate in the Safe range or above the Minimum mark, rework or replace
the dipstick.

ISSUE A number of non-approved/alternate refrigerants have entered the marketplace and are
being advertised as "drop-in replacements" for R-12 and R-134a. The use of non-approved
refrigerants such as R-22, hydrocarbons, and other refrigerant blends could cause safety,
durability, and performance concerns if they are installed in Ford A/C systems. Identification of the
type of refrigerant contained in vehicle A/C systems, before servicing, is necessary to prevent
dealer service equipment and refrigerant supplies from being contaminated with non-approved
refrigerants.
ACTION Refrigerant identification must be performed prior to recovering the refrigerant into a
recovery machine to prevent cross-contamination of the recovery machine and other A/C systems
being serviced with that recovery machine. Refer to the following text.

A/C - Identification of Non Approved Refrigerants > Page 1184
Ford Motor Company has approved the Rotunda Deluxe A/C Refrigerant Analyzer (198-00003) for
use on Ford and Lincoln-Mercury vehicles (Figure 1). The analyzer provides the technician with a
quick and easy way to identify the type and percentage of refrigerant (R-134a, R-12, R-22, or
flammable hydrocarbon). The analyzer can also provide the percentage of air in the A/C system
and automatically purge air from the system.
The A/C Refrigerant Analyzer is designed to identify vapor gas samples taken directly from
automotive air conditioning systems or refrigerant storage cylinders. Refrigerant vapor passes
through the multiple sensor Non-Dispersive Infra-Red (NDIR) sensing unit. The microprocessor
calculates each refrigerant type and purity percentage which is displayed on the analyzer's Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD).
The analyzer identifies the purity percentage of R-134a, R-12, R-22, hydrocarbon; and air in the
sample. If the purity percentage of the R-134a or R-12 is 98% or greater by weight, a green
"PASS" Light Emitting Diode (LED) will light. If refrigerants R-134a or R-12 do not meet 98% purity
levels, the red "FAIL" LED will light. Levels of R-22 and flammable hydrocarbons above 2% will
light the red "FAIL" light. If a hydrocarbon is detected above 5%, both the "FAIL" light and
"HYDROCARBON" light will illuminate and a horn will sound alerting the user of potential hazards.
The percent of air contained in the sample will be displayed if the R-134a or R-12 content is 98% or
above. The analyzer eliminates the effect of air

when determining the refrigerant sample content because air is not considered a contaminant
although air can affect A/C system performance. Air will automatically be purged until a pure
refrigerant with a less than 2% by weight air measurement is reached.
Recovery of Contaminated Refrigerant
If contaminated refrigerant is detected, DO NOT recover the refrigerant into your R-134a or R-12
recovery/recycling equipment. Take the following actions:
1. Repeat the test to verify contaminated refrigerant is present.
2. Advise the customer of the contaminated A/C system and any additional cost to repair the
system. The customer may wish to return to the service facility which performed the last A/C
service.
3. Recover the contaminated refrigerant using suitable recovery-only equipment designed for
capturing and storing contaminated refrigerant. This equipment must only be used to recover
contaminated refrigerant to prevent the spread to other vehicles. As an alternative, contact an A/C
service facility in your area which has the proper equipment for refrigerant recovery.
Repairing A Contaminated A/C System
Once the contaminated refrigerant is removed from the system it will be necessary to repair the
system. Ford recommends that you do the following to be sure a quality repair is made:
1. Determine the cause of the failure.
2. Determine which parts will need to be replaced.
3. Flush the heat exchangers to remove any oil that may be degraded due to the contaminated
refrigerant.
4. Install a new suction/accumulator.
5. Properly oil match the system to verify that the correct amount of clean refrigerant oil is present
in the system.
6. Evacuate the system for 45 minutes.
7. Recharge the system, verify proper operation, and leak test.
Disposal of Contaminated Refrigerant
Disposal of contaminated refrigerant is a new process to the automotive industry Listed below are
companies that will assist with disposal of contaminated refrigerant. Ford Motor Company has not
evaluated the processes of the listed refrigerant disposal companies and is not endorsing or
promoting their companies Business transactions are between the dealership and disposal
companies. Disposal costs will vary between $3.00 and $5.00 per pound, plus the cost of round trip
cylinder shipping.

Service Procedure
THIS PROCEDURE IS OPTIONAL IF THE SYSTEM IS FLUSHED USING THE ROTUNDA A/C
FLUSHER.
CAUTION
THIS FILTERING PROCEDURE MAY BE USED FOR EITHER R-12 OR R-134a REFRIGERANT
SYSTEMS. BECAUSE THE TWO (2) SYSTEMS USE DIFFERENT REFRIGERANT OILS AND
BECAUSE THE COMPRESSOR COULD BE DAMAGED IF THE WRONG OIL IS USED, SYSTEM
IDENTIFICATION IS VERY IMPORTANT. BE SURE SYSTEM IS CORRECTLY IDENTIFIED
BEFORE STARTING THE FILTERING PROCEDURE.
Each Service Filter Kit includes the following items:
^ One (1) Pancake Filter (to be installed in the liquid line between the condenser and the orifice
tube)
^ One (1) Instruction Sheet
NOTE
ON 1993-94 RANGER/EXPLORER VEHICLES, TECHNICIANS MAY EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTY
WHEN CONNECTING THE PANCAKE FILTER HOSE FITTINGS TO THE EVAPORATOR INLET
WITH THE ORIFICE TUBE INSTALLED. REMOVE THE OFFICE TUBE AND RUN THE SYSTEM
FOR 1 HOUR AS DESCRIBED IN THE FILTERING PROCEDURE. REINSTALL THE ORIFICE
TUBE AFTER FILTERING IS COMPLETE.
CAUTION
FOLLOW ALL REFRIGERANT SYSTEM SAFETY AND SERVICE PRECAUTIONS OUTLINED IN
THE APPROPRIATE SERVICE OR WORKSHOP MANUAL.
1. Before removing any refrigerant system components, recover the refrigerant from the system
following the recycling methods outlined In the appropriate Service/Workshop Manual.
2. Remove the suction accumulator/drier assembly and drain the oil into a calibrated container.
3. Install a new suction accumulator/drier and add new refrigerant oil to replace the old oil. The
quantity of the new oil to be added is the amount to match that drained from the old accumulator

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to list Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
reviewed NC substitutes for R-12 refrigerant.
ISSUE: A number of manufacturers are producing refrigerant products which are described as
being direct replacements for refrigerant R-12.
ACTION: If service is required, use only new or of known quality recycled refrigerant R-12. Ford
Motor Company has approved R-134a as the only refrigerant substitute for R-12.
CAUTION:
USING ANY UNAUTHORIZED SUBSTITUTE REFRIGERANT FOR R-12 MAY RESULT IN
SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE A/C SYSTEM COMPONENTS.

This information has been taken from EPA documents to address Ford specific applications and
recommendations. Further EPA information on ozone-depleting substances and regulations
regarding its handling can be found on the Internet at World Wide Web site:
http://www.epa.gov/ozone/
In 1994, EPA established the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program to review
alternatives to ozone-depleting substances like R-12. EPA examines new substitutes for their
ozone depleting, global warming, flammability, and toxicity characteristics. The SNAP process does
not test these substitutes for A/C system compatibility, reliability, durability, or performance.
Under the SNAP rule, each new refrigerant must be used in accordance with the following
conditions:
1. Unique Fittings - Each new refrigerant must be used with a unique set of fittings to prevent the
accidental mixing of different refrigerants.
2. Unique Equipment - Each refrigerant must have dedicated recovery/recycling equipment for that
refrigerant.
3. Labels - Whether a vehicle is originally designed to use a new refrigerant or is retrofitted, the
technician must apply a detailed label giving specific information about the alternative. This label
covers up information about the old refrigerant and provides valuable details on the alternative and
how it was used. The technician is required to fill in their name, company performing the retrofit,
address and the date retrofitted.
4. Remove Original Refrigerant - The original R-12 must be removed from the system prior to
charging with the new refrigerant. This will guarantee that the largest amount of clean R-12 is
available for use in vehicles that still need it.

6. Remove the old compressor following Service/Workshop Manual procedures. Drain the oil into a
calibrated container.
7. Drain the oil from the replacement compressor into a clean calibrated container.
NOTE:
IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO TRANSFER THE MAGNET CLUTCH FROM THE OLD
COMPRESSOR TO THE REPLACEMENT COMPRESSOR. FOLLOW SERVICE/WORKSHOP
MANUAL PROCEDURES.
8. A new FX-15 service compressor contains 207 mL (7 oz.) of R-12 refrigerant oil. A new FS-10
service compressor does not contain any oil and can be used with an R-12 or an R-134a system.
CAUTION
REMEMBER TO USE YN-9-A (MINERAL) OIL WITH R-12 SYSTEMS AND YN-12-C (PAG) OIL
WITH R-134a SYSTEMS. FAILURE TO USE THE CORRECT REFRIGERANT OIL MAY RESULT
IN DAMAGE TO SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
^ If the amount of oil drained from the removed compressor is between 90 and 148 mL (3-5 oz),
pour the same amount of clean refrigerant oil into the new compressor.
^ If the amount of oil drained from the old compressor is greater than 90 mL (3 oz), pour 90 mL (3
oz) of clean refrigerant oil into the new compressor.
9. Install the new compressor following Service/Workshop Manual procedures. Make sure all
mounting bolts are tightened properly. Check the tension of the compressor drive belt. Adjust if
necessary.
10. Evacuate, charge and leak test the system, following Service/Workshop Manual procedures.
11. Check all refrigerant system hoses, lines and the position of the newly-installed filters to make
sure they do not interfere with other engine compartment components. If necessary, use tie straps
to make adjustments.
12. Set the A/C control on Max A/C, high blower and temperature control at full cold.
a. Start engine and let idle briefly.
b. Be sure A/C system is operating properly.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Manual Bleeding
NOTE: Bleed primary and secondary hydraulic brake systems separately, bleeding longest line first
on each system. Do not allow reservoir to run dry during bleeding operation. Never reuse fluid that
has been drained from hydraulic system.
1. Loosen master cylinder to hydraulic line nuts and wrap shop cloths around tubing below fitting to
absorb escaping brake fluid.
2. Depress brake pedal slowly by hand to floor of cab, forcing air trapped in master cylinder out at
fitting.
3. Hold pedal down and tighten fittings, then release brake pedal.
NOTE: Releasing brake pedal before fittings are tightened will allow air to enter the master
cylinder.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until air ceases to escape at fittings and brake pedal is firm.
5. Bleed rear brakes as follows:
RR, LR, RF, LF
WARNING: Do not bleed the brakes with the drums removed. The wheel-cylinders will over-extend
and eject the pistons.
a. Pump pedal several times, then hold pedal down firmly.
WARNING: Do not Full Stroke the brake pedal, this may damage the master cylinder. Place a 2
inch block of wood under the brake pedal to prevent Full Stroking.
b. With pedal firmly depressed, open bleeder screw on one rear brake until pedal fades to floor,
then close bleeder valve.

Article No. 89-9-16
LIGHT TRUCK: 1984-89 ALL LIGHT TRUCK LINES
ISSUE: Tire wear can be affected by inflation and load. Good tread life is dependent on maintaining
proper air pressure in the tires. Other factors that affect tire wear are:
^ alignment
^ speed
^ road surfaces
ACTION: Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressures to obtain maximum tread life. Use the
following charts and procedures to arrive at the best tire pressure for each load application.
FIGURE 1
The chart in Figure 1 shows the affect of inflation and load on tire tread life. Use the chart by finding
the specified inflation pressure for the vehicle as shown on the certification label and locating that
pressure on the specified inflation pressure on the chart. The affects of actual air pressure and load
can now be read directly off the chart.
Tire load carrying capacity is a function of tire design and inflation pressures. Each tire has molded
into the sidewall a maximum pressure for a specific usage. Use the following guidelines to
determine load carrying capacity.

FIGURE 2
^ For P-metric passenger tires on passenger cars, the values are as shown on the tire.
^ For P-metric passenger tires on light trucks, the load ratings are reduced to 91% to reflect the
"harsher" truck environment, Figure 2.
^ For light truck style tires used on light trucks, the values are as shown for tires used in single
wheel applications.
^ For light truck style tires used in dual wheel applications, the tire capacities are derated.
Often, inflation pressures for specific vehicles are less than maximum capacity because the load to
be carried is less than the maximum tire capacity.
Inflation pressures for originally installed size tires on a vehicle are shown on the vehicle
certification label along with the tire size and rated capacity for the axle system. Check the size and
inflation information on the label to properly inflate the tires. Be sure that the same size tire is
actually on the vehicle and then inflate it to the label's specified pressure. If other than original size
tires are on the vehicle, the label's pressures are probably not correct
To find proper pressures for other than original tires, use the following procedure.
1. Obtain both front and rear axle capacity ratings (GAWRR and GAWRF).
2. Divide each number by 2 to obtain the capacity at the tire.
FIGURE 3

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins
> Tire Wear - Toe Set Prior Vehicle Service > Page 1308
3. For single wheel usage, look up the pressure in the proper chart which will meet the needed
capacity, Figure 3.
4. Check the tire side wall label to see if it permits inflation to that pressure. If lower load range tires
were installed (i.e., C vs. D or E), the tires may not have the needed capability.
5. Divide the value found in Step 2 by 2 again to obtain individual tire requirements for dual rear
wheels.
6. Using a dual wheel inflation pressure chart, Figure 3, determine correct pressure to achieve
adequate load capacities.
7. Consult the local tire outlet or the tire manufacturer's home office about tires not shown in the
tables.

Wheel Bearing: Adjustments
1. Raise the vehicle until the tire clears the floor and install safety stands.
2. Remove the wheel cover.
3. Remove the grease cap from the hub. Wipe the excess grease from the end of the spindle.
Remove the cotter pin and locknut.
4. Loosen the adjusting nut three turns. Attempt to obtain running clearance between the rotor
brake surface and the disc pads by rocking the wheel,
hub and rotor assembly in and out several times to push the pads away from the rotor. If running
clearance cannot be maintained throughout bearing adjustment in Steps 5 and 6, the caliper must
be removed.
NOTE: Do not pry on the phenolic caliper piston.
5. Tighten the wheel adjusting nut to 30-33 Nm (22-25 ft lbs) while rotating the disc brake rotor in
the opposite direction.
6. Back off the adjusting nut 1/8 turn and install the retainer and new cotter pin without additional
movement of the adjusting nut. Bearing end play
should be 0.025-0.254mm (0.001-0.010 in). Bend the ends of the cotter pin around the castellated
flange of the locknut.
7. Check front wheel rotation. If the wheel rotates properly, reinstall the grease cap and wheel
cover. If rotation is noisy or rough, remove and inspect
the bearings. Service as required.
WARNING: Before driving the vehicle, pump the brake pedal several times to restore normal brake
pedal travel.

Wheel Bearing: Service and Repair
Wheel bearing lubricant is a lithium-base grease. Sodium-base grease is not compatible with
lithium-base grease and should not be intermixed. Therefore, do not lubricate front and/or rear
wheel bearings without first identifying the type of original wheel bearing lubricant. Usage of
incompatible bearing lubricants may result in premature lubricant breakdown.
REMOVAL
Front Hub And Rotor Assembly
1. Raise the vehicle until the tire clears the floor and remove the wheel and tire assembly.
2. Remove the brake caliper and secure to the underbody to prevent damage to the brake hose. It
is not necessary to disconnect the hose from the
caliper. Do not let the caliper hang with its weight on the brake hose or the hose may become
stretched, twisted or ruptured. See: Brakes and Traction Control/Disc Brake System/Brake
Caliper/Service and Repair
3. Remove the grease cap, cotter pin, retainer adjusting nut and washer.
4. Remove the outer bearing cone and roller.
5. Pull the hub and rotor off the spindle and remove and discard the grease seal.
6. Remove the inner bearing cone and roller from the hub. Remove all traces of old lubricant from
bearings, hub and axle spindle.
7. Inspect the cups for scratches, pits or cracks. If the cups are worn or damaged, remove them
with a drift. Clean the inner and outer bearing cones
and rollers with solvent and dry thoroughly.
CAUTION: Do not spin the bearings dry with compressed air.
8. Inspect the cones and rollers for cracks, nicks, brinelling, or seized rollers. Inspect the grease
retainer and replace it if it is cracked, nicked, dented
or worn.
9. Cover the spindle with a clean cloth. A water dampened cloth or water based solution should be
used to remove and dust or loose dirt from the
brake assembly. Remove the cloth from the spindle carefully to prevent dirt from falling on the
spindle.
NOTE: Do not use compressed air.

Page 1339
Installing Bearing Cups (Typical)
1. If inner or outer bearing cups were removed, install replacement inner and outer bearing cups in
the hub with the appropriate bearing cup replacer
tool. Be sure to seat the cups properly in the hub. The cups will be properly seated when they are
fully bottomed. Replace grease retainers. Polish grease retainer journal on spindle with 400 grit
sandpaper. Clean with clean cloth.
2. Pack the inside of the hub with lithium-base grease or equivalent. Fill the hub until the grease is
flush with the inside diameters of both bearing
cups. Pack the bearing cones and rollers with wheel bearing grease. Use a bearing packer for this
operation. If a packer is not available, work as much lubricant as possible between the rollers and
cages. Lubricate the cone surfaces with grease.
Installing Grease Seal (Typical)
3. Place the inner bearing cone and roller in the inner cup and install the new grease seal. Be sure
that the seal is fully seated.
4. Install the hub and rotor on the wheel spindle. Keep the hub centered on the spindle to prevent
damage to the grease retainer or the spindle threads.
5. Install the outer bearing cone and roller and the flat washer on the spindle, then install the
adjusting nut, and adjust the wheel bearing.
6. Install the retainer, new cotter pin, and grease cap.
7. Install the caliper.
8. Install the wheel and tire assembly.
9. Lower vehicle and torque the lug nuts to specification. Re-install the wheel cover or hub cap.

ISSUE: The use of air impact tools to tighten wheel lug nuts can lead to overtightened and/or
unevenly tightened wheel lug nuts. Air impact tools typically used for wheel lug nut removal and
installation can generate up to 475 N.m (350 lb-ft) of torque. Overtightened and/or unevenly
torqued wheel lug nuts may cause:
^ Brake vibration
^ Distortion of the wheel hub
^ Distortion of the brake rotor

^ Damage to the wheel
^ Damage to the wheel nuts and studs
ACTION: All wheel lug nuts should only be tightened to specification using a torque wrench or by
using the Rotunda ACCUTORO 164-R0314 or equivalent on a 1/2" drive air impact tool. The
"ACCUTORO" lug nut sockets limit the torque of the air impact tool, preventing overtightening or
uneven tightening of the wheel lug nuts. The torque limiting devices (regulators) on air impact tools
will not reduce the output torque enough to prevent overtightening of the wheel lug nuts.

NOTE:
REFER TO THE APPROPRIATE SERVICE MANUAL OR THE CHART IN FIGURE 1 FOR THE
CORRECT WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE SPECIFICATION. THE CHART IN FIGURE 1 ALSO
PROVIDES THE CORRECT "ACCUTORO" LUG NUT SOCKET TO USE.
The "ACCUTORO" socket is intended for lug nut installation, not removal. When using the
"ACCUTORO" socket, the output torque of the air impact tool must be set to 217-339 N.m (160-250
lb-ft), usually this will be the lowest setting on the air impact tool.
The "ACCUTORO" lug nut sockets are available through Rotunda Equipment. The four-piece set
(164-R0314) fits most Ford Motor Company cars and light trucks. The tool set consists of four (4)
lug nut sockets and a storage case. The set can be ordered by calling Rotunda Equipment at
1-800-ROT-UNDA (768-8632).
CAUTION:
AIR IMPACT TOOLS SHOULD NOT BE USED TO TIGHTEN WHEEL LUG NUTS UNLESS THE
"ACCUTORO" LUG NUT SOCKET OF THE CORRECT SPECIFICATION IS USED.
NOTE:
DO NOT USE AIR IMPACT TOOLS ON LOCKING WHEEL LUG NUTS. THEY ARE TO BE
HAND-TORQUED ONLY.

ISSUE: Some lug nuts may be difficult to remove due to nut crimping. The lug nuts are designed to
be free-running as opposed to a "prevailing" torque style. The freerunning nuts may have "crimped
in" against the stud when torqued.
ACTION: To correct this, use new replacement nuts which will not "crimp in" when tightened to the
recommended torque of 140 ft.lbs. (190 N-m).
CAUTION: Lug nuts should be torqued by hand, not with an impact wrench, and retorqued at
intervals specified in the Owner Guide.

Wheel Fastener: Service and Repair
Lug Nut Torque Patterns
IMPORTANT
Check all parts, including rims, lug studs, lug nuts, and mating surfaces of hubs and tire rims for
rust, damage, or dirt. Clean mating surfaces with a wire brush to remove any foreign material.
Replace any damaged parts as needed. Careless installation of tire/rim assemblies in a vehicle is a
major cause of tire installation problems. Proper installation, including fastener torque, is essential
to economical, safe and trouble free service. Use only the proper sizes and types of fasteners for
safe and proper service. Tighten the fasteners a quarter turn at a time using the tightening
sequence diagram as a guide. This is very important to prevent misalignment of the wheel.
Continue tightening the fasteners in sequence until the fasteners are tightened to the proper torque
(See WHEEL FASTENER TORQUE).
CAUTION: Improper torque or tightening sequence can cause distortion, fatigue cracks, or
alignment problems. After driving the vehicle for a short distance, recheck the wheel fastener
torque. Parts will usually seat naturally, reducing the torque on the fasteners. Retorque all
fasteners to the proper torque.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
COMPRESSION TEST
1. Ensure oil in crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at proper level and battery is properly
charged. Operate vehicle until engine is at normal
operating temperature. Turn OFF ignition switch, then remove all spark plugs.
2. Set throttle plates (and choke plates, if equipped) in wide-open position. 3. Install a compression
gauge such as Rotunda Compression Tester 059-00009 or equivalent in No. 1 cylinder. 4. Install
an auxiliary starter switch in starting circuit. With ignition switch in the OFF position, and using
auxiliary starter switch, crank engine at
least five compression strokes and record highest reading. Note the approximate number of
compression strokes required to obtain the highest reading.
5. Repeat test on each cylinder cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes.
TEST CONCLUSION
1. The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75 percent of the highest. 2. If one or more cylinders read low, squirt
approximately one tablespoon of heavy SAE 50 weight or equivalent engine oil on top of the
pistons in
the low reading cylinders. Repeat compression pressure check on these cylinders. a. If
compression improves considerably, piston rings are at fault. b. If compression does not improve,
valves are sticking or seating poorly. c. If two adjacent cylinders indicate low compression
pressures and squirting oil on pistons does not increase compression, cause may be a
cylinder head gasket leak between cylinders. Engine oil and/or coolant in cylinders could result
from this problem.

Fig. 3 Checking collapsed tappet clearance
Valves, Adjust To provide a means to compensate for dimensional changes in the valve train and
provide for valve adjustment, .060 inch shorter or longer pushrods are available. If the valve
clearance is less than the minimum, the .060 inch shorter pushrod should be used. If the clearance
is more than the maximum, the longer pushrod should be used. To check the valve clearance,
proceed as follows:
1. Mark crankshaft pulley at three locations, with No. 1 location at TDC timing mark (end of
compression stroke), location No. 2 one full turn (360°) clockwise from TDC and No. 3 location one
quarter turn clockwise (90°) from position No. 2, Fig. 2.
2. Turn crankshaft to number 1 location, then compress valve lifter using tool T71P-6513-A or
equivalent, Fig. 3, and check the clearance on the following valves:
a. On V8-302 and 460 engines, check intake valve Nos. 1 , 7 and 8; exhaust valve Nos. 1, 4 and 5.
b. On V8-351, check intake valve Nos. 1, 4 and No. 8; exhaust valve Nos. 1, 3 and 7.
3. Turn crankshaft to number 2 location, then compress valve lifter using tool T71P-6513-A or
equivalent, Fig. 3, and check the clearance on the following valves:
a. On V8-301 and 460 engines check intake valve Nos. 4 and 5; exhaust valve Nos. 2 and 6. b. On
V8-351 engines, check intake valve Nos. 3 and 7; exhaust valve Nos. 2 and 6.
4. Turn crankshaft to number 3 location, then compress valve lifter using tool T71P-6513-A or
equivalent and check the clearance on the following valves:
a. V8-302 and 460 engines check intake valve Nos. 2, 3 and 6; exhaust valve Nos. 3, 7 and 8. b.
On V8-351 engines, check intake valve Nos. 2, 5 and 6; exhaust valve Nos. 4, 5 and 8.

Valve guides in these engines are an integral part of the head and, therefore, cannot be removed.
For service, guides can be reamed oversize to accommodate one of three service valves with
oversize stems (.003 inch, .015 inch and .030 inch). Check the valve stem clearance of each valve
(after cleaning) in its respective valve guide. If the clearance exceeds the service limits of .004 inch
of the intake or .005 inch on the exhaust, ream the valve guides to accommodate the next oversize
diameter valve.

ISSUE: The "markings" on the engine oil level dipstick (indicator) may not be read correctly or
could possibly be misinterpreted. This can result in overfilling the engine with oil in newly delivered
vehicles or thinking that the engine has been overfilled with the specified amount of oil during oil
and filter changes.
ACTION: If service is required, use the following guidelines to make sure of correct oil fill.
NOTE: PROPER OIL FILL IS BASED ON A SPECIFIED VOLUME AND IS LISTED IN THE
"VEHICLE ENGINE OIL LEVEL CAPACITY SPECIFICATION CHART" AND THE "FLUID REFILL
CAPACITIES CHART" OF THE VEHICLE OWNERS GUIDE. USE THESE RECOMMENDED
VOLUMES WHENEVER REFILLING THE ENGINE WITH OIL.
FIGURE 6
Old Style Design Dipstick
On "MAX/ADD" style dipsticks the "MAX" line represents an allowable tolerance limit of
approximately 1/2 quart above the specified (normal) engine operating level, Figure 6. The oil level
of a properly filled engine should indicate an oil level reading in the upper crosshatched area of the
dipstick.
NOTE: DO NOT "TOP OFF" TO THE "MAX" LINE. IF THE OIL LEVEL GOES ABOVE THE "MAX"
LINE, A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF OIL SHOULD BE REMOVED TO BRING THE OIL LEVEL
READING BACK INTO THE CROSSHATCHED AREA OF THE DIPSTICK.
New Style Design Dipstick
On "FULL/ADD", "FULL/ADD 1 QUART" or "F" style dipsticks the oil level of an engine filled with
the correct amount of oil, as listed in the "Vehicle Oil Capacity Specification Chart" will normally
occur slightly above the "FULL" line, Figure 6. This occurs because the "FULL" mark on the
dipstick

represents the lowest level of oil that could occur when an engine is filled with the specified volume
of oil. This variation in oil level is due to manufacturing tolerances and oil level checking conditions.

Figure 17 - Dipstick
To correctly check the engine oil level, the vehicle must be parked on a level surface. Allow a few
minutes after shutting the engine off for oil to drain down before checking. For consistent oil level
readings, insert the dipstick with the loop of the handle as shown in Figure 17.
Figure 18 - Dipstick - Calibration
Figure 19 - Dipstick - Calibration
Dipsticks in Ford vehicles do not incorporate a Full mark. Instead, the dipstick will have marks
indicating a Safe range and an Add range as shown in Figure 18 or 19. When the correct amount
of oil is in the engine, the oil level indication will be in the Safe range or above the Minimum mark,
but not necessarily at the top of the Safe range or at the Maximum mark.
When the indicated oil level is in the Add range put one quart of oil in the engine. Recheck the oil
level to determine if the oil level is now in the Safe range or above the Minimum mark.
Add and recheck oil level one quart at a time until the oil level indicator moves into the Safe range
or above the Minimum mark. Do not add additional oil to bring the level to the top of the Safe range
or to the Maximum mark since this may result in overfill and increased oil consumption. If the
accuracy of the engine oil dipstick is in doubt, it may be verified in the following manner:
^ Drain the oil and install a new filter.
^ Put in the specified amount of oil for an oil and filter change. (See owner guide)
^ Start the engine and operate a few minutes.
^ Shut off the engine and allow a few minutes for the oil to drain down.
^ Check the oil level with the dipstick.
^ If the oil level does not indicate in the Safe range or above the Minimum mark, rework or replace
the dipstick.

Information > Testing and Inspection
Oil Pressure Gauge: Testing and Inspection
This oil pressure indicating system incorporates an instrument voltage regulator, electrical oil
pressure gauge and a sending unit which are connected in series. The sending unit consists of a
diaphragm, contact and a variable resistor. As oil pressure increases or decreases, the diaphragm
actuated the contact on the variable resistor, in turn controlling current flow to the gauge. When oil
pressure is low, the resistance of the variable resistor is high, restricting current flow to the gauge,
in turn indicating low oil pressure. As oil pressure increases, the resistance of the variable resistor
is lowered, permitting an increased current flow to the gauge, resulting in an increased gauge
reading.
TROUBLESHOOTING A special tester is required to diagnose this type gauge. Follow instructions
included with the tester.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
Many trucks utilize a warning light on the instrument panel in place of the conventional dash
indicating gauge to warn the driver when the oil pressure is dangerously low. The warning light is
wired in series with the ignition switch and the engine unit--which is an oil pressure switch. The oil
pressure switch contains a diaphragm and a set of contacts. When the ignition switch is turned on,
the warning light circuit is energized and the circuit is completed through the closed contacts in the
pressure switch. When the engine is started, build-up of oil pressure compresses the diaphragm,
opening the contacts, thereby breaking the circuit and putting out the light.
TROUBLESHOOTING The oil pressure warning light should go on when the ignition is turned on. If
it does not light, disconnect the wire from the engine unit and ground the wire to the frame or
cylinder block. Then if the warning light still does not go on with the ignition switch on, replace the
bulb. If the warning light goes on when the wire is grounded to the frame or cylinder block, the
engine unit should be checked for being loose or poorly grounded. If the unit is found to be tight
and properly grounded, it should be removed and a new one installed. (The presence of sealing
compound on the threads of the engine unit will cause a poor ground). If the warning light remains
lit when it normally should be out, replace the engine unit before proceeding further to determine
the cause for a low pressure indication. The warning light will sometimes light up or flicker when the
engine is idling, even though the oil pressure is adequate. However, the light should go out when
the engine speed is increased.

ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires

2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.

Service Bulletins > Engine - Lack of Power/No Start Diagnosis > Page 1572
NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

Oil Level Warning Indicator: Description and Operation
This system is used to indicate a low engine oil level condition. The lamp will be illuminated during
engine starting. If oil level is sufficient, the lamp will go off when engine is operating. If oil level is
low the lamp will remain on until engine oil is added and the ignition switch is placed in the Off
position. The module may take a few minutes to reset. If the engine is started during this period,
the last recorded reading will be displayed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Lamps and Indicators - Engine > Oil Pressure Gauge >
Component Information > Testing and Inspection
Oil Pressure Gauge: Testing and Inspection
This oil pressure indicating system incorporates an instrument voltage regulator, electrical oil
pressure gauge and a sending unit which are connected in series. The sending unit consists of a
diaphragm, contact and a variable resistor. As oil pressure increases or decreases, the diaphragm
actuated the contact on the variable resistor, in turn controlling current flow to the gauge. When oil
pressure is low, the resistance of the variable resistor is high, restricting current flow to the gauge,
in turn indicating low oil pressure. As oil pressure increases, the resistance of the variable resistor
is lowered, permitting an increased current flow to the gauge, resulting in an increased gauge
reading.
TROUBLESHOOTING A special tester is required to diagnose this type gauge. Follow instructions
included with the tester.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Lamps and Indicators - Engine > Oil Pressure Warning
Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Testing and Inspection
Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
Many trucks utilize a warning light on the instrument panel in place of the conventional dash
indicating gauge to warn the driver when the oil pressure is dangerously low. The warning light is
wired in series with the ignition switch and the engine unit--which is an oil pressure switch. The oil
pressure switch contains a diaphragm and a set of contacts. When the ignition switch is turned on,
the warning light circuit is energized and the circuit is completed through the closed contacts in the
pressure switch. When the engine is started, build-up of oil pressure compresses the diaphragm,
opening the contacts, thereby breaking the circuit and putting out the light.
TROUBLESHOOTING The oil pressure warning light should go on when the ignition is turned on. If
it does not light, disconnect the wire from the engine unit and ground the wire to the frame or
cylinder block. Then if the warning light still does not go on with the ignition switch on, replace the
bulb. If the warning light goes on when the wire is grounded to the frame or cylinder block, the
engine unit should be checked for being loose or poorly grounded. If the unit is found to be tight
and properly grounded, it should be removed and a new one installed. (The presence of sealing
compound on the threads of the engine unit will cause a poor ground). If the warning light remains
lit when it normally should be out, replace the engine unit before proceeding further to determine
the cause for a low pressure indication. The warning light will sometimes light up or flicker when the
engine is idling, even though the oil pressure is adequate. However, the light should go out when
the engine speed is increased.

To prevent repeat servicing on engines suspected of oil leakage at the crankshaft seal, determine if
the leak is actually from the seal or from another source such as the rear pan seal or galley plugs.
The one-piece rear crankshaft seal is released for all passenger car and light truck engines and
has proven to be more reliable than the rope or split lip design formerly used.
Performing the oil leak air pressure check outlined in all Car and Truck Powertrain Shop Manuals,
Section 21- 01 will accurately identify the location of the leak and can verify correction after
servicing before the transmission is reinstalled.

ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the

6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to
clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge
tolerant throttle body designs released for 1991 and newer model years.

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to
clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge
tolerant throttle body designs released for 1991 and newer model years.

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to
clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge
tolerant throttle body designs released for 1991 and newer model years.

ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.

183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.

BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.

WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

Advance Mechanism
Distributor Advance Unit: Description and Operation Vacuum Spark Advance Mechanism
The vacuum spark control mechanism can provide spark advance if a single diaphragm assembly
is used or spark advance and retard if a dual diaphragm assembly is used. The diaphragm
assembly used depends on the engine calibration.
Single Diaphragm Assembly
SINGLE DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY The single diaphragm assembly, Fig. 11, also changes the
armature to stator relationship to give spark advance. The stator assembly position is changed by
means of vacuum being applied to the diaphragm assembly. Vacuum applied to the diaphragm
assembly causes the diaphragm and attached diaphragm rod to move, compressing the advance
spring, which controls the rate of advance. The movement of the diaphragm rod, which is attached
to the stator assembly, makes the the stator assembly move with respect to the armature. This
changes the initial armature to stator relationship set during initial timing, causing spark advance.
The stator assembly is mounted on the lower plate assembly which with the diaphragm assembly,
is attached to the distributor base.

Distributor, Ignition > Distributor Advance Unit > Component Information > Description and Operation > Vacuum Spark
Advance Mechanism > Page 1801
Dual Diaphragm Assembly
DUAL DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY The dual diaphragm assembly, Fig. 12, obtains spark advance in
the same manner as the single diaphragm assembly. In this case vacuum applied to the vacuum
advance port causes the advance diaphragm and attached rod to move, otherwise the action is the
same. Spark retard is done by applying vacuum to the vacuum retard port. This causes the retard
diaphragm to move, compressing the retard spring, which controls the rate of spark retard.
Compressing the retard spring allows the diaphragm rod stop to move due to the force applied by
the advance spring pushing against it by means of the diaphragm rod. The result is the diaphragm
rod moves causing the attached stator assembly to change position with respect to the armature. In
this instance the direction of the stator assembly movement is opposite that occurring during
vacuum advance, resulting in spark retard. NOTE: Any vacuum applied to the advance port
overrides any spark retard caused by vacuum being applied to the retard port.

Distributor Advance Unit: Description and Operation Centrifugal Spark Advance Mechanism
Distributor - Exploded view
The centrifugal advance mechanism varies the relationship of the armature to the stator assembly.
The armature is mounted to the sleeve and plate assembly which rotates in relation to the
distributor shaft. The rotation is a result of the centrifugal weights moving in response to engine
RPM. The movement of the weights change the initial relationship of the armature to the stator
assembly by rotating the sleeve and plate assembly ahead of its static position on the distributor
shaft Fig. 1. This produces spark advance. The rate of movement of the weights is controlled by
calibrated springs.

1986 vehicles are equipped with a new "blade" design distributor rotor. This design replaces the
multi-point rotor used in recent model years. This new rotor requires the use of silicone grease on
the blade. Electrical interference can result from a blade rotor that does not have silicone grease.
The electrical interference affects the distributor stator assembly and can cause engine "missing",
"bucking", or "surging". These drive concerns are usually intermittent and tend to occur during
crank and heavy or wide-open throttle.
It is important to remember not to remove the silicone grease for radio noise concerns, on 1986
vehicles with EEC IV; removing the grease can cause driveability concerns. A future TSB article
will address the radio noise issue.

F47
ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.

4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump

REMOVAL
- Remove the wire from each spark plug by grasping the molded boot with tool T74P-6666-A or
equivalent. Twist the boot until it loosens and then pull it off the spark plug. Do not pull on the wire,
as the connection may become damaged.
- Any wire damaged must be replaced. Each original spark plug wire is numbered for the cylinder to
which it is designated. If wires are not numbered, each wire should be numbered as to the plug
from which it was removed.
- Clean the area around each spark plug port with compressed air.
- Using the proper size spark plug socket remove the spark plugs.
INSTALLATION
Check the gap on each new spark plug and set to specification. See: Specifications
- Install each spark plug and tighten to 9-20 Nm (7-15 ft-lbs).
Cylinder Numbering And Distributor Location
Location On Distributor
- Coat the inside of each spark plug boot with silicone dielectric compound. Connect each spark
plug wire to the plug from which it was removed. Be sure each wire is fully depressed on each plug
and molded boot is firmly in place.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
COMPRESSION TEST
1. Ensure oil in crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at proper level and battery is properly
charged. Operate vehicle until engine is at normal
operating temperature. Turn OFF ignition switch, then remove all spark plugs.
2. Set throttle plates (and choke plates, if equipped) in wide-open position. 3. Install a compression
gauge such as Rotunda Compression Tester 059-00009 or equivalent in No. 1 cylinder. 4. Install
an auxiliary starter switch in starting circuit. With ignition switch in the OFF position, and using
auxiliary starter switch, crank engine at
least five compression strokes and record highest reading. Note the approximate number of
compression strokes required to obtain the highest reading.
5. Repeat test on each cylinder cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes.
TEST CONCLUSION
1. The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75 percent of the highest. 2. If one or more cylinders read low, squirt
approximately one tablespoon of heavy SAE 50 weight or equivalent engine oil on top of the
pistons in
the low reading cylinders. Repeat compression pressure check on these cylinders. a. If
compression improves considerably, piston rings are at fault. b. If compression does not improve,
valves are sticking or seating poorly. c. If two adjacent cylinders indicate low compression
pressures and squirting oil on pistons does not increase compression, cause may be a
cylinder head gasket leak between cylinders. Engine oil and/or coolant in cylinders could result
from this problem.

Valves, Adjust To provide a means to compensate for dimensional changes in the valve train and
provide for valve adjustment, .060 inch shorter or longer pushrods are available. If the valve
clearance is less than the minimum, the .060 inch shorter pushrod should be used. If the clearance
is more than the maximum, the longer pushrod should be used. To check the valve clearance,
proceed as follows:
1. Mark crankshaft pulley at three locations, with No. 1 location at TDC timing mark (end of
compression stroke), location No. 2 one full turn (360°) clockwise from TDC and No. 3 location one
quarter turn clockwise (90°) from position No. 2, Fig. 2.

ISSUE: Ford Motor Company does not authorize the use of recycled engine coolant nor do they
sanction the use of any machines or devices that recycle engine coolant.
Recycled engine coolant is not equivalent to the factory fill OEM coolant, the Ford premium cooling
system fluid (E2FZ-19549-AA) or the Ford heavy duty low silicate cooling fluid (E6HZ-19549-A).
The quality of engine coolant degenerates with use. Recycling used engine coolant is very difficult
to do without exposing the used coolant to additional foreign substances. Merely adding an additive
to the coolant will not restore it.
ACTION: Use new engine coolant that meets Ford Motor coolant specifications for the engine
being serviced.
Properly dispose of the used coolant.
WARNING: THE DISPOSAL OF ALL USED ENGINE COOLANT MUST ALWAYS BE DONE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LAWS AND
REGULATIONS.

WARNING: Do not operate engine until fan has first been inspected for cracks and/or separations.
If a fan blade is found to be bent or damaged in any way, do not attempt to repair or reuse
damaged part. Proper balance is essential in fan assembly operation. Balance cannot be assured
once a fan assembly has been found to be bent or damaged and failure may occur during
operation, creating an extremely dangerous condition. Always replace damaged fan assembly.
Place fan on flat surface with leading edge facing down. If there is a clearance between fan blade
touching surface and opposite blade of more than .090 inch (2 mm), replace fan.

Small fluid leaks do not generally affect the operation of the unit. These leaks generally occur
around the area of the bearing assembly, but if the leaks appear to be excessive, engine
overheating may occur. Check for clutch and fan free-wheeling by attempting to rotate fan and
clutch assembly by hand five times. If no drag is felt, replace clutch.

Fan Clutch: Testing and Inspection Fan Clutch Noise
Fan clutch noise can sometimes be noticed when clutch is engaged for maximum cooling. Clutch
noise is also noticeable within the first few minutes after starting engine while clutch is redistributing
the silicone fluid back to its normal, disengaged operating condition after settling for long periods of
time (over night). However, continuous fan noise or an excessive roar indicates the clutch
assembly is locked-up due to internal failure. This condition can be checked by attempting to
manually rotate fan. If fan cannot be rotated manually or there is a rough, abrasive feel as fan is
rotated, the clutch should be replaced.

Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Fan Clutch Fluid Leak > Page 1887
Fan Clutch: Testing and Inspection Fan Clutch Operational Test
Do not operate the engine until the fan has been first checked for possible cracks and separations.
Run engine at a fast idle speed (1000 RPM) until normal operating temperature is reached. This
process can be done more quickly by blocking off the front of the radiator with cardboard.
Regardless of temperatures, unit must be operated for at least five minutes immediately before
being tested. Stop engine and using a glove or a cloth to protect the hand, immediately check the
effort required to turn the fan. If considerable effort is required, it can be assumed that coupling is
operating satisfactorily. If very little effort is required to turn the fan, it is an indication that the
coupling is not operating properly and should be replaced.
Bi-Metallic Coiled Spring Removal
The clutch fan may be tested while vehicle is being driven. To check, disconnect the bimetal spring,
Fig. 2, and rotate 90° counterclockwise. This disables the temperature-controlled, free-wheeling
feature and the clutch performs like a conventional fan. If this cures the overheating condition,
replace the clutch fan.

Temperature Gauge: Testing and Inspection Dash Gauge Test
Gauge failures are often caused by defective wiring or grounds. The first step in locating trouble
should be a thorough inspection of all wiring, terminals and printed circuits. If wiring is secured by
clamps, check to see whether the insulation has been severed, thereby grounding the wire. In the
case of a fuel gauge installation, rust may cause failure by corrosion at the ground connection of
the tank unit. The Constant Voltage Regulator (CVR) type indicator is a bimetal-resistance type
system consisting of an Instrument Voltage Regulator (IVR), an indicator gauge, and a variable
resistance sending unit. Current to the system is applied to the gauge terminals by the IVR, which
maintains an average-pulsating value of 5 volts. The indicator gauge consists of a pointer which is
attached to a wire-wound bimetal strip. Current passing through the coil heats the bimetal strip,
causing the pointer to move. As more current passes through the coil, heat increases, moving the
pointer farther. The circuit is completed through a sending unit which contains a variable resistor.
When resistance is high, less current is allowed to pass through the gauge, and the pointer moves
very little. As resistance decreases due to changing conditions in system being monitored, more
current passes through gauge coil, causing pointer to move farther. Do not apply battery voltage to
system or ground output terminals of IVR, as damage to system components or wiring circuits may
result.
DASH GAUGE TEST
1. Disconnect battery ground cable and remove gauge from vehicle.
2. Connect ohmmeter between gauge terminals and read coil winding resistance.
3. An upward movement of ohmmeter needle from 10 ohms to 14 ohms is normal, as test current
of ohmmeter causes a temperature rise in gauge coil windings.
4. If ohmmeter reads below 10 ohms or above 14 ohms, gauge is defective.

Temperature Gauge: Testing and Inspection Electrical Temperature Gauges
This temperature indicating system consists of a sending unit, located on the cylinder head,
electrical temperature gauge and an instrument voltage regulator. As engine temperature increases
or decreases, the resistance of the sending unit changes, in turn controlling current flow to the
gauge. When engine temperature is low, the resistance of the sending unit is high, restricting
current flow to the gauge, in turn indicating low engine temperature. As engine temperature
increases, the resistance of the ending unit decreases, permitting an increased current flow to the
gauge, resulting in an increased temperature reading.
TROUBLESHOOTING A special tester is required to diagnose this type gauge. Follow instructions
included with the tester.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Lamps and Indicators - Cooling System >
Temperature Warning Lamp/Indicator, Engine Cooling > Component Information > Testing and Inspection
Temperature Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
A bimetal temperature switch located in the cylinder head control the operation of a temperature
indicator light with a red lens. If the engine cooling system is not functioning properly and coolant
temperature exceeds a predetermined value, the warning light will illuminate.
TROUBLESHOOTING If the red light is not lit when the engine is being cranked, check for a
burned out bulb, an open in the light circuit, or a defective ignition switch. If the red light is lit when
the engine is running, check the wiring between light and switch for a ground, defective
temperature switch, or overheated cooling system. As a test circuit to check whether the red bulb is
functioning properly, a wire which is connected to the ground terminal of the ignition switch is
tapped into its circuit. When the ignition is in the ``Start'' (engine cranking) position, the ground
terminal is grounded inside the switch and the red bulb will be lit. When the engine is started and
the ignition switch is in the ``On'' position, the test circuit is opened and the bulb is then controlled
by the temperature switch.

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor, detects the temperature of engine coolant and
supplies the Information to Electronic Control Assembly (ECA).
The ECT sensor is threaded into the heater outlet fitting or cooling passage on the engine. For
engine control applications, the ECT signal is used to modify ignition timing, EGR flow, and air to
fuel ratio as a function of engine coolant temperature. On electronic instrument cluster applications,
the ECT output is used to control a coolant temperature indicator.

Temperature Gauge: Testing and Inspection Dash Gauge Test
Gauge failures are often caused by defective wiring or grounds. The first step in locating trouble
should be a thorough inspection of all wiring, terminals and printed circuits. If wiring is secured by
clamps, check to see whether the insulation has been severed, thereby grounding the wire. In the
case of a fuel gauge installation, rust may cause failure by corrosion at the ground connection of
the tank unit. The Constant Voltage Regulator (CVR) type indicator is a bimetal-resistance type
system consisting of an Instrument Voltage Regulator (IVR), an indicator gauge, and a variable
resistance sending unit. Current to the system is applied to the gauge terminals by the IVR, which
maintains an average-pulsating value of 5 volts. The indicator gauge consists of a pointer which is
attached to a wire-wound bimetal strip. Current passing through the coil heats the bimetal strip,
causing the pointer to move. As more current passes through the coil, heat increases, moving the
pointer farther. The circuit is completed through a sending unit which contains a variable resistor.
When resistance is high, less current is allowed to pass through the gauge, and the pointer moves
very little. As resistance decreases due to changing conditions in system being monitored, more
current passes through gauge coil, causing pointer to move farther. Do not apply battery voltage to
system or ground output terminals of IVR, as damage to system components or wiring circuits may
result.
DASH GAUGE TEST
1. Disconnect battery ground cable and remove gauge from vehicle.
2. Connect ohmmeter between gauge terminals and read coil winding resistance.
3. An upward movement of ohmmeter needle from 10 ohms to 14 ohms is normal, as test current
of ohmmeter causes a temperature rise in gauge coil windings.
4. If ohmmeter reads below 10 ohms or above 14 ohms, gauge is defective.

Temperature Gauge: Testing and Inspection Electrical Temperature Gauges
This temperature indicating system consists of a sending unit, located on the cylinder head,
electrical temperature gauge and an instrument voltage regulator. As engine temperature increases
or decreases, the resistance of the sending unit changes, in turn controlling current flow to the
gauge. When engine temperature is low, the resistance of the sending unit is high, restricting
current flow to the gauge, in turn indicating low engine temperature. As engine temperature
increases, the resistance of the ending unit decreases, permitting an increased current flow to the
gauge, resulting in an increased temperature reading.
TROUBLESHOOTING A special tester is required to diagnose this type gauge. Follow instructions
included with the tester.

Temperature Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
A bimetal temperature switch located in the cylinder head control the operation of a temperature
indicator light with a red lens. If the engine cooling system is not functioning properly and coolant
temperature exceeds a predetermined value, the warning light will illuminate.
TROUBLESHOOTING If the red light is not lit when the engine is being cranked, check for a
burned out bulb, an open in the light circuit, or a defective ignition switch. If the red light is lit when
the engine is running, check the wiring between light and switch for a ground, defective
temperature switch, or overheated cooling system. As a test circuit to check whether the red bulb is
functioning properly, a wire which is connected to the ground terminal of the ignition switch is
tapped into its circuit. When the ignition is in the ``Start'' (engine cranking) position, the ground
terminal is grounded inside the switch and the red bulb will be lit. When the engine is started and
the ignition switch is in the ``On'' position, the test circuit is opened and the bulb is then controlled
by the temperature switch.

3. Vehicles equipped with electric engine cooling fan(s) must have a fan running during this test
(high or low speed may be used). Two methods may be used to turn the fan(s) on:
a. Disconnect the A/C compressor clutch power supply and turn the climate control to A/C "ON". Or
b. Disconnect the power supply to the cooling fan and supply 12 volts direct to the fan connector
from the battery.
NOTE: A GROUND MAY BE REQUIRED FOR SOME APPLICATIONS.
4. Place transmission in "park" or "neutral".
NOTE: RUNNING THIS TEST WITH THE VEHICLE IN GEAR OR WITH THE A/C COMPRESSOR
CLUTCH ENGAGED (RUNNING) WILL CAUSE IMPROPER DIAGNOSIS
5. Start the engine and allow to idle throughout this test:
a. Allow engine to run for 2 minutes, then record ECT voltage.
b. From now on, record ECT voltage every 60 seconds.
c. When the ECT voltage trend changes direction or changes only slightly (0.03 volts or less) from
the previous reading, record this as the thermostat opening voltage.
d. Use the "Voltage and Corresponding Temperature Chart" shown to obtain actual coolant
temperatures.
6. If the opening voltage is GREATER than 0.75 volts (less than 18~ F/ 82~ C), or 0.85 volts (170~
F/ 77~ C) for 2.3L HSC engine only, replace the thermostat. Refer to the dealer Master Parts
Catalog for correct thermostat usage.
7. If the thermostat opening voltage is LESS than 0.75 volts (greater than 180~ F/ 82~ C), or 0.85
volts (170~ F/ 77~ C) for 2.3L HSC engine only, the thermostat is good and should NOT be
replaced. The "Cooling System Diagnosis Chart" should be referenced for further instructions.
NOTE: The 10~ F opening temperature difference for the 2.3L HSC engine is due to the ECT
sensor location.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation Dual Catalytic Converter
Fig. 17 Dual catalytic converter
This converter consists of two catalytic converters in one shell, with a mixing chamber in between
the two, Fig. 17. Each converter is composed of a ceramic ``honey comb'' coated with a
rhodium/platinum catalyst designed to control oxides of nitrogen (NOx), unburned hydrocarbons
(HC) and carbon monoxide (CO), and is therefore called a ``three way catalyst'' (TWC). The rear
converter is coated with platinum catalyst and is called a ``conventional'' oxidation catalyst'' (COC)
converter. The platinum catalyst is also called a ``two way catalyst'' since it only acts on two of the
major pollutants, HC and CO.
The TWC converter acts on the exhaust gases from the engine. As the gases flow from the TWC to
the COC converter, they mix with air from the thermactor pump injected into the mixing chamber or
``mid-bed''. This air is required for proper oxidation of HC and CO in the COC converter.

Fig. 6 Dual type catalytic converter
The catalytic converter used on some vehicles, serves two purposes: it permits a faster chemical
reaction to take place and although it enters into the chemical reaction, it remains unchanged,
ready to repeat the process. The catalytic converter combines hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon
monoxide (CO) with oxygen to form water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The catalyst is
structured in the form of a honeycomb monolithic composition, Figs. 4,5 and 6 . The catalyst
consists of a porous substrate of an inert material, coated with platinum and other noble metals
(the catalytically active materials.) This device, located in the exhaust system between the exhaust
manifold and muffler, requires the use of heat shields, in some cases, due to its high operating
temperatures. The heat shields are necessary to protect chassis components, passenger
compartment and other areas from heat related damage. A small diameter fuel tank filler tube neck
is incorporated to prevent the larger service station pump nozzle, used for leaded fuels, being
inserted into the filler tube, thereby preventing system contamination. Since the use of leaded fuels
contaminates the catalysts, deteriorating its effectiveness, the use of unleaded fuels is mandatory
in vehicles equipped with catalytic converters. The catalytic converter can tolerate small amounts of
leaded fuels without permanently reducing the catalyst effectiveness. There are basically three
types of catalysts, the conventional oxidation catalyst (COC) containing Platinum (Pt) and
Palladium (Pd) which are effective for catalyzing the oxidation reactions of hydrocarbons (HC) and
carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. A three-way catalyst (TWC) containing Platinum (Pt) and
Rhodium (RH), is not only effective for catalyzing the oxidation reactions of HC and CO emissions,
but it also catalyzes the reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx). A light off catalyst (LOC) is a single
bed converter. It is arranged in series with the main catalytic converter assembly of COC and/or
TWC as the aft member(s). This converter is designed to perform the very specialized function of
exhaust emission control during engine warm-up when the main converter(s) is not yet at the
temperature required for maximum efficiency. The LOC is designed to operate effectively in the
high environmental conditions that exist near the manifold flange. The LOC is designed with a
minimum heat sink effect and, provides minimum delay in warm-up of the main catalytic
converter(s). The oxidation catalyst requires the use of a secondary air source which is provided by
the pulse air or thermactor air injection systems.

ISSUE: Electronic control modules, including EEC processors, may be damaged if the negative
battery ground cable is not disconnected before arc welding is done to the vehicle, This occurs
because the arc welding process can produce high electrical currents in the body of a vehicle when
the negative battery ground cable is left connected.
ACTION: If arc welding procedures are to be performed, be sure to disconnect the battery ground
cable,
CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY GROUND CABLE BEFORE USING ANY

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
The center of the EEC IV system is a microprocessor called the Electronic Control Assembly
(ECA). The ECA, receives data from a number of sensors and other electronic components
(switches, relays, etc.). The ECA contains a specific calibration for optimizing emissions, fuel
economy, and driveability. Based on information received and programmed into its memory, the
ECA generates output signals to control various relays, solenoids, and other actuators.
The ECA in the EEC IV system is a microprocessor like the one in the other EEC systems. One
significant difference is that this ECA has the calibration module located inside the ECA assembly,
unlike the EEC III system.
The ECA is found in different locations, depending on the model.

Main Relay (Computer/Fuel System): Description and Operation
There are two types of relays: the power relay and the time delay power relay. The time delay relay
has a delay of 5 to 10 seconds and is used with an actuator assembly throttle control. Both relay
types consist of a movable contact in the normally open position. All power relays (except time
delay) have the same design with a different bracket attachment.
Function
EEC power relays are in parallel with the ignition switch and provide power to the EEC module.
Power relays also provide reverse battery protection and increased load handling to improve
ignition switch reliability.

CALIBRATIONS: All with TFI Systems
If the TFI module fails and causes a short to ground, the primary winding of the ignition coil can be
damaged. The TFI diagnostic procedure published in the Shop Manual will not identify this
condition.
When servicing a weak or no spark condition, perform the following:
1. Check for spark using the procedures found in the Manual Information, Computerized Engine,
Quick Test Section, Test 1.
2. If there is no spark, test the coil primary resistance using Rotunda digital volt-ohmmeter
007-00001, as shown.
3. If the coil primary resistance is O.K., continue with the diagnostic procedure in Test 1.
4. If the coil primary resistance is not O.K., replace the coil and recheck for weak or no spark. If the
spark is now O.K., the problem is resolved.
5. If the spark is still NOT O.K., continue with normal diagnostic procedure in Test 1.

ISSUE: Stalling and/or a no-start condition on vehicles with EEC IV and certain TFI modules may
be caused by moisture or salt splash entering at the upper right hand mounting hole of the TFI
module housing. This condition will result in a service code 14.
ACTION: To correct this, use the following diagnostic and service procedure to seal the hole and
prevent further concerns.
NOTE: The distributor does not have to be removed to perform this repair.
1. Check to see if the TFI-IV module part number suffix is A2A and the date code is 6K08 or prior,
(mounting hole was sealed after 6K08). If the suffix is not A2A, use normal diagnostic procedures
and do not perform Steps 2 and 3.
2. Thoroughly clean and dry upper right hand mounting hole of the TFI module with a clean paper
towel.
3. Fill the cleaned hole with silicone grease (D7AZ-19A331-A).
4. Clear service code 14 from memory.

If your voltmeter has a high impedance, it will not draw enough current to show a voltage drop
when testing TFI power circuits for resistive connections. To assure an accurate test, attach a test
light between the circuit being tested and ground as shown. The light will draw current through the
connection and allow measurement of the voltage drop so a resistive connection can be identified.
IMPORTANT Do not use a test light while monitoring the PIP or SPOUT signal. The test light draws
more current than the signal circuit can supply. The test light should be used only on power circuits.

If the TFI module fails and causes a short to ground, the primary winding of the ignition coil can be
damaged. The TFI diagnostic procedure published in the Shop Manual will not identify this
condition.
When servicing a weak or no spark condition, perform the following:
1. Check for spark using the procedures found in the Manual Information, Computerized Engine,
Quick Test Section, Test 1.
2. If there is no spark, test the coil primary resistance using Rotunda digital volt-ohmmeter

If your voltmeter has a high impedance, it will not draw enough current to show a voltage drop
when testing TFI power circuits for resistive connections. To assure an accurate test, attach a test
light between the circuit being tested and ground as shown. The light will draw current through the
connection and allow measurement of the voltage drop so a resistive connection can be identified.
IMPORTANT Do not use a test light while monitoring the PIP or SPOUT signal. The test light draws
more current than the signal circuit can supply. The test light should be used only on power circuits.

Ignition Control Module: Description and Operation
Typical Ignition System
The Ignition Module shuts off the primary circuit each time it receives a pulse from the magnetic
pick-up Fig. 9. A timing circuit in the ignition module turns the primary current back on after a short
period of time. High voltage is created each time the magnetic field is built up and collapsed. The
red ignition module wire provides operating voltage for the module's electronic components in the
Run mode. The white module wire and start bypass provide increased voltage for the module and
coil during Start mode.
Ignition Modules
Dura Spark II systems with UIM (Universal Ignition Module) Fig. 10 can respond to another control
signal from either an Ignition Barometric Pressure Switch, Ignition Timing Vacuum Switch, or the
Microprocessor Control Unit (MCU), depending on the engine calibration. Responding to this
second signal, the UIM provides additional spark timing control for certain operating conditions by
shutting off the ignition coil current flow at a different time than with just the distributor pick-up
signal.

Operation
Barometric Pressure Switch: Description and Operation
The Ignition Barometric Pressure Switch, is used to control spark timing and/or other electrical
devices in response to changes in barometric pressure (i.e., altitude). When controlling spark
timing, the ignition module (12A244) is made to vary the spark timing by an amount determined by
calibration resistors in the switch assembly. In normal operation, spark timing is increased for
vehicle operation above the switching point (increasing altitude) and retarded for vehicle operation
below the switching point (decreasing altitude). When controlling other electrical devices, only
On/Off control is provided; with On (switch closed) above the switching point and Off (switch open)
below the switching point. Some switch assemblies control both spark timing and another device
(dual switch assembly) and other switch assemblies control only one or the other (single switch
assembly).

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor, detects the temperature of engine coolant and
supplies the Information to Electronic Control Assembly (ECA).
The ECT sensor is threaded into the heater outlet fitting or cooling passage on the engine. For
engine control applications, the ECT signal is used to modify ignition timing, EGR flow, and air to
fuel ratio as a function of engine coolant temperature. On electronic instrument cluster applications,
the ECT output is used to control a coolant temperature indicator.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
The Knock Sensor, is a piezoelectric accelerometer with the sensor designed to resonate at
approximately the same frequency as the engine knock frequency. The sensor uses the resonant
frequency to mechanically amplify the vibrations. This method allows relatively large signals to be
achieved without electrical amplification and with small package size.
The sensor has a thin circular piezoelectric ceramic disk which is bonded to a metal diaphragm.
Electrical connections are made through a two pin integral connector.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1986-91 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES 1988-91 F SUPER DUTY,
F47
ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Engine - Lack of Power/No Start Diagnosis > Page 2210
NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to update model applicability and to revise the
part number of the Low Volatility Sealant.
ISSUE: EGO sensors can be contaminated if volatile types of silicone are used when servicing the
engine. Volatile silicones can migrate throughout the system during the first one hundred hours of
service. They are commonly found in liquid "silicone rubber" sealants and gasket material. These
products are commonly sold in tubes and caulking-type cartridges.
ACTION: When service is performed on the engine, only use new low volatility silicone sealant
(F1AZ-19662-A) where specified. Also replace the contaminated EGO sensor if required.
CAUTION: DO NOT SUBSTITUTE CONVENTIONAL SILICONE RUBBER SEALANTS WHEN
LOW VOLATILITY SILICONE SEALANT IS SPECIFIED.

WARNING: This modification is authorized only for the listed engines. Performing this modification
on other engine calibrations is unauthorized and could create liability under applicable federal or
local laws.
A new design Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) has been released for all 1986 EEC IV applications.
The new TPS is designed to eliminate a false Self-Test Code 53. A Code 53 indicates the TPS
system has failed at the wide open throttle position (approximately 5.0 volts), The new TPS
eliminates false Code 53 by limiting the wide open throttle voltage to 4.75 volts. With the new TPS,
Code 53 will only result from a circuit or TPS malfunction.
The new Throttle Position Sensors can be used to replace faulty sensors on 1985 vehicles. If the
old design service part is used, a false Code 53 may result.

ISSUE: All Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) mounting screws have a "Pozidrive" head. The
"Pozidrive" head looks a lot like a Phillips screw head. Use of a Phillips head screwdriver to remove
a "Pozidrive" screw will normally result in a rounded or damaged screw head. Many technicians
think it is an overtorqued or "frozen" screw. An adhesive was also used as a thread sealant starting
with the 1988 model year. This adhesive requires still more effort to loosen and remove the screw.
ACTION: To prevent rounded or damages screw heads when servicing the TPS mounting screws,
technicians should always use a # 2 "Pozidrive" screwdriver.

Fuel Pump Inertia Switch: Description and Operation
The inertia Switch, is used in conjunction with an electric fuel pump. The purpose of the inertia
switch is to shut off the fuel pump in the event of an accident. It consists of a steel ball held in place
by a magnet. When a sharp impact occurs, the ball breaks loose from the magnet, rolls up a
conical ramp and strikes a target plate which opens the electrical contacts of the switch and
thereby shuts off the electric fuel pump. Once the switch is open, it must be manually reset before
re-starting the vehicle. The location of the switch is discussed in the owners guide.

Push down on the reset button to make sure the switch is closed.
Use DVOM with LOS button On and measure voltage across both terminals of the inertia switch. If
DVOM reading is greater than 0.3V, replace the inertia switch.
NOTE: In the closed position, the button can be depressed an additional 1/16-inch against a spring.
This is a normal condition and does not adversely effect the switch operation.

WARNING: This modification is authorized only for the listed engines. Performing this modification
on other engine calibrations is unauthorized and could create liability under applicable federal or
local laws.
A new design Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) has been released for all 1986 EEC IV applications.
The new TPS is designed to eliminate a false Self-Test Code 53. A Code 53 indicates the TPS
system has failed at the wide open throttle position (approximately 5.0 volts), The new TPS
eliminates false Code 53 by limiting the wide open throttle voltage to 4.75 volts. With the new TPS,
Code 53 will only result from a circuit or TPS malfunction.
The new Throttle Position Sensors can be used to replace faulty sensors on 1985 vehicles. If the
old design service part is used, a false Code 53 may result.

ISSUE: All Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) mounting screws have a "Pozidrive" head. The
"Pozidrive" head looks a lot like a Phillips screw head. Use of a Phillips head screwdriver to remove
a "Pozidrive" screw will normally result in a rounded or damaged screw head. Many technicians
think it is an overtorqued or "frozen" screw. An adhesive was also used as a thread sealant starting
with the 1988 model year. This adhesive requires still more effort to loosen and remove the screw.
ACTION: To prevent rounded or damages screw heads when servicing the TPS mounting screws,
technicians should always use a # 2 "Pozidrive" screwdriver.

Hall Effect Sensor: Description and Operation
Profile Ignition Pickup
The PIP signal is created in the Hall Effect and Stator assembly and indicates crankshaft position
and engine RPM Fig. 21. The PIP signal is fed to both the TFI module and the ECA.
PIP Sensor
COMPONENTS The Hall Effect device is made up of a voltage regulator, a Hall voltage generator,
Darlington amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and an open collector output stage integrated in a single
monolithic silicon chip Fig. 22. A signal is produced when a ferrous material is passed through the
opening and the flux lines decrease. The Hall generator (Hall device) sends a sine wave signal to
the Darlington amplifier. The Darlington amplifier inverts the signal. When the signal is low the
output is high. When the signal is high the output is low. This output then goes to the Schmitt
trigger. The Schmitt trigger shapes the signal into a square wave (digital high) signal.

PIP Signal Operation
OPERATION The output signal to the Darlington amplifier is high when the window (on the
armature) allows the magnetic field to reach the Hall device (switch off) Fig. 23. When the TAB
shunts the magnetic field (closes) away from the Hall device the signal is low to the Darlington
amplifier (switch on).
Hall Effect Sensor
In other words when one of the windows or openings is in the gap between the Hall device and the
permanent magnet, the field stays strong and the voltage is high since the magnetic path is
complete from the magnet, through the Hall device, and back to the magnet. In this case the switch
is off and the Hall Effect does not send a signal. When the TAB enters the gap, the armature cuts
off the magnetic path to the Hall device and its voltage drops. In this case the switch is on and the
Hall Effect device sends a signal. The signal is switched On and Off as long as the armature is
rotating (distributor is turning) and opening and closing the magnetic path. This is the signal used
by the ECA to interpret crankshaft position and engine RPM. The signal can also be used by the
TFI module if the SPOUT signal from the ECA is lost.

Signature PIP
SIGNATURE PIP Some Electronic Engine Control (EEC) vehicles are equipped with a signature
profile ignition pickup signal. The regular type armature used for the PIP signal has the same size
tabs and windows. In a signature PIP signal armature, one of the tabs is narrower than the others
Fig. 25. The narrower tab provides a different signal to the ECA when it passes through the Hall
Effect switch. When the ECA sees the narrow tab it knows when to properly pulse the fuel injectors.
This system is used on cars and trucks where the ECA needs to know when to pulse certain
injectors. For example, on sequential electronic fuel injection (SEFI) systems, each injector is
pulsed to coincide with its intake valve opening. With the signature PIP, the ECA knows when the
No. 1 cylinder needs to be supplied with fuel.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
The Knock Sensor, is a piezoelectric accelerometer with the sensor designed to resonate at
approximately the same frequency as the engine knock frequency. The sensor uses the resonant
frequency to mechanically amplify the vibrations. This method allows relatively large signals to be
achieved without electrical amplification and with small package size.
The sensor has a thin circular piezoelectric ceramic disk which is bonded to a metal diaphragm.
Electrical connections are made through a two pin integral connector.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1986-91 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES 1988-91 F SUPER DUTY,
F47
ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst

temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.
NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to
clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge
tolerant throttle body designs released for 1991 and newer model years.

LACK OF POWER 7.5L, 5.8L, 5.0L, 4.9L - CATALYTIC CONVERTER DIAGNOSTIC TIPS
LIGHT TRUCK: 1986-91 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES 1988-91 F SUPER DUTY,
F47
ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks > Air Cleaner Housing >
Air Cleaner Element <--> [Air Filter Element] > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine - Lack of
Power/No Start Diagnosis > Page 2496
NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

Distributor Advance Unit: Description and Operation Vacuum Spark Advance Mechanism
The vacuum spark control mechanism can provide spark advance if a single diaphragm assembly
is used or spark advance and retard if a dual diaphragm assembly is used. The diaphragm
assembly used depends on the engine calibration.
Single Diaphragm Assembly
SINGLE DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY The single diaphragm assembly, Fig. 11, also changes the
armature to stator relationship to give spark advance. The stator assembly position is changed by
means of vacuum being applied to the diaphragm assembly. Vacuum applied to the diaphragm
assembly causes the diaphragm and attached diaphragm rod to move, compressing the advance
spring, which controls the rate of advance. The movement of the diaphragm rod, which is attached
to the stator assembly, makes the the stator assembly move with respect to the armature. This
changes the initial armature to stator relationship set during initial timing, causing spark advance.
The stator assembly is mounted on the lower plate assembly which with the diaphragm assembly,
is attached to the distributor base.

Page 2533
Dual Diaphragm Assembly
DUAL DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY The dual diaphragm assembly, Fig. 12, obtains spark advance in
the same manner as the single diaphragm assembly. In this case vacuum applied to the vacuum
advance port causes the advance diaphragm and attached rod to move, otherwise the action is the
same. Spark retard is done by applying vacuum to the vacuum retard port. This causes the retard
diaphragm to move, compressing the retard spring, which controls the rate of spark retard.
Compressing the retard spring allows the diaphragm rod stop to move due to the force applied by
the advance spring pushing against it by means of the diaphragm rod. The result is the diaphragm
rod moves causing the attached stator assembly to change position with respect to the armature. In
this instance the direction of the stator assembly movement is opposite that occurring during
vacuum advance, resulting in spark retard. NOTE: Any vacuum applied to the advance port
overrides any spark retard caused by vacuum being applied to the retard port.

Distributor Advance Unit: Description and Operation Centrifugal Spark Advance Mechanism
Distributor - Exploded view
The centrifugal advance mechanism varies the relationship of the armature to the stator assembly.
The armature is mounted to the sleeve and plate assembly which rotates in relation to the
distributor shaft. The rotation is a result of the centrifugal weights moving in response to engine
RPM. The movement of the weights change the initial relationship of the armature to the stator
assembly by rotating the sleeve and plate assembly ahead of its static position on the distributor
shaft Fig. 1. This produces spark advance. The rate of movement of the weights is controlled by
calibrated springs.

F47
ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.

Distributor Cap > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine - Lack of Power/No Start Diagnosis >
Page 2540
NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

1986 vehicles are equipped with a new "blade" design distributor rotor. This design replaces the
multi-point rotor used in recent model years. This new rotor requires the use of silicone grease on
the blade. Electrical interference can result from a blade rotor that does not have silicone grease.
The electrical interference affects the distributor stator assembly and can cause engine "missing",
"bucking", or "surging". These drive concerns are usually intermittent and tend to occur during
crank and heavy or wide-open throttle.
It is important to remember not to remove the silicone grease for radio noise concerns, on 1986
vehicles with EEC IV; removing the grease can cause driveability concerns. A future TSB article
will address the radio noise issue.

NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine - Lack of Power/No Start Diagnosis > Page 2580
NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

REMOVAL
- Remove the wire from each spark plug by grasping the molded boot with tool T74P-6666-A or
equivalent. Twist the boot until it loosens and then pull it off the spark plug. Do not pull on the wire,
as the connection may become damaged.
- Any wire damaged must be replaced. Each original spark plug wire is numbered for the cylinder to
which it is designated. If wires are not numbered, each wire should be numbered as to the plug
from which it was removed.
- Clean the area around each spark plug port with compressed air.
- Using the proper size spark plug socket remove the spark plugs.
INSTALLATION
Check the gap on each new spark plug and set to specification. See: Specifications
- Install each spark plug and tighten to 9-20 Nm (7-15 ft-lbs).
Cylinder Numbering And Distributor Location
Location On Distributor
- Coat the inside of each spark plug boot with silicone dielectric compound. Connect each spark
plug wire to the plug from which it was removed. Be sure each wire is fully depressed on each plug
and molded boot is firmly in place.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
COMPRESSION TEST
1. Ensure oil in crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at proper level and battery is properly
charged. Operate vehicle until engine is at normal
operating temperature. Turn OFF ignition switch, then remove all spark plugs.
2. Set throttle plates (and choke plates, if equipped) in wide-open position. 3. Install a compression
gauge such as Rotunda Compression Tester 059-00009 or equivalent in No. 1 cylinder. 4. Install
an auxiliary starter switch in starting circuit. With ignition switch in the OFF position, and using
auxiliary starter switch, crank engine at
least five compression strokes and record highest reading. Note the approximate number of
compression strokes required to obtain the highest reading.
5. Repeat test on each cylinder cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes.
TEST CONCLUSION
1. The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75 percent of the highest. 2. If one or more cylinders read low, squirt
approximately one tablespoon of heavy SAE 50 weight or equivalent engine oil on top of the
pistons in
the low reading cylinders. Repeat compression pressure check on these cylinders. a. If
compression improves considerably, piston rings are at fault. b. If compression does not improve,
valves are sticking or seating poorly. c. If two adjacent cylinders indicate low compression
pressures and squirting oil on pistons does not increase compression, cause may be a
cylinder head gasket leak between cylinders. Engine oil and/or coolant in cylinders could result
from this problem.

Component Information > Description and Operation
Barometric Pressure Switch: Description and Operation
The Ignition Barometric Pressure Switch, is used to control spark timing and/or other electrical
devices in response to changes in barometric pressure (i.e., altitude). When controlling spark
timing, the ignition module (12A244) is made to vary the spark timing by an amount determined by
calibration resistors in the switch assembly. In normal operation, spark timing is increased for
vehicle operation above the switching point (increasing altitude) and retarded for vehicle operation
below the switching point (decreasing altitude). When controlling other electrical devices, only
On/Off control is provided; with On (switch closed) above the switching point and Off (switch open)
below the switching point. Some switch assemblies control both spark timing and another device
(dual switch assembly) and other switch assemblies control only one or the other (single switch
assembly).

ISSUE: Electronic control modules, including EEC processors, may be damaged if the negative
battery ground cable is not disconnected before arc welding is done to the vehicle, This occurs
because the arc welding process can produce high electrical currents in the body of a vehicle when
the negative battery ground cable is left connected.
ACTION: If arc welding procedures are to be performed, be sure to disconnect the battery ground
cable,
CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY GROUND CABLE BEFORE USING ANY

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
The center of the EEC IV system is a microprocessor called the Electronic Control Assembly
(ECA). The ECA, receives data from a number of sensors and other electronic components
(switches, relays, etc.). The ECA contains a specific calibration for optimizing emissions, fuel
economy, and driveability. Based on information received and programmed into its memory, the
ECA generates output signals to control various relays, solenoids, and other actuators.
The ECA in the EEC IV system is a microprocessor like the one in the other EEC systems. One
significant difference is that this ECA has the calibration module located inside the ECA assembly,
unlike the EEC III system.
The ECA is found in different locations, depending on the model.

Feedback Control Solenoid: Description and Operation Carburetor Feedback Motor - 7200
The Actuator is part of the Carburetor Feedback Control System, used on 7200 model carburetors.
The actuator is threaded into the carburetor body, and its actuator shaft moves a fuel metering
pintle valve to produce a richer or leaner air/fuel mixture at the carburetor. In response to an
electronic signal coming from the Exhaust Gas Oxygen (EGO) sensor and conditioned by the EEC
(or MCU) System, the actuator shaft moves in and out.

Feedback Control Solenoid: Description and Operation Carburetor Feedback Solenoid - YFA
This solenoid assembly is an integral part of the YFA feedback carburetors
In a feedback system, it operates as a pulse width modulated (dithering) solenoid, varying the air
bled into the idle and main fuel metering circuits, in response to commands from the MCU or EEC,
thereby varying the fuel/air ratio delivered to the engine.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Carburetor Feedback Motor - 7200 > Page 2688
Feedback Control Solenoid: Description and Operation Carburetor Feedback Solenoid - 2150A
Feedback Fuel Control utilizes a pulsing solenoid to introduce fresh air from the air cleaner into the
idle and main system vacuum passages to lean the fuel and air mixture from the maximum rich
condition (0% duty cycle - solenoid closed) to the maximum lean condition (100% duty cycle solenoid fully open). The solenoid operates under the control of the EEC-IV system. Also new to the
2150 carburetor is a throttle position sensor required by the EEC system. This new sensor was
designed for the 2150 carburetor and was made non-adjustable to reduce production and warranty
costs. To package the throttle position sensor and the feedback system changes were made to the
booster assembly, main body, airhorn, throttle shaft and to certain choke linkage parts (fast idle
cam, cam hub, cam rod, fast idle level & choke shield).

Feedback Control Solenoid: Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
After completing the MCU or EEC diagnostic procedure, and tracing the probable cause of the
problem to the feedback solenoid, perform one or more of the following procedures:
Feedback Carburetors - Rough Idle, Lean Drive
1. With the engine running at idle, retighten the solenoid mounting screws to 30 lb-in. If idle does
not change, proceed to Step 2.
2. With the engine running at idle, apply a stethoscope or metal rod to the solenoid body and listen
(or feel) for a 10 Hz constant pulse. If the pulse is not evident, or is erratic, replace the solenoid
assembly and gasket.
3. With the engine running at idle, disconnect the solenoid lead. If the idle quality improves
significantly with the solenoid disconnected, replace the solenoid assembly and gasket.
NOTE: Since disconnecting the lead will appreciably richen the idle mixture, similar to the
propane-gain technique, some degree of idle quality improvement and idle speed gain is to be
expected, even with a properly operating solenoid.
Feedback Carburetors - Running Rich, Poor Economy
Use Step 2, above for diagnosis.
NOTE: The 2.3L or 4.9L YFA 1-V Feedback Solenoid for the 1985 model year is not
interchangeable with the 1981/82 4.9L solenoid. The former being designed for 38 ohm resistance,
while the 1981/82 (4.9L) is 22 ohm. The Electronic Control Assembly (ECA) will be damaged if
these units are interchanged.

Feedback Control Solenoid: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
Carburetor Feedback Motor - 7200
1. Remove the FBCA motor from carburetor. Connect wiring harness to FBCA motor; turn ignition
switch to Run to extend shaft. Turn ignition switch to Off. If FBCA shaft does not extend, replace
FBCA motor and retest.
2. Push FBCA motor shaft back in by hand. If shaft will not push in, replace FBCA motor and retest.
3. Remove and clean pintle valve, spring and carburetor passage with choke cleaner and a small
brush.
4. Reinstall pintle, spring and FBCA motor. Tighten FBCA motor to 8-10 lb-ft.
5. Retest per appropriate quick test.
6. Check/reset curb idle, if necessary.
NOTE: FBCA motor is partly diagnosed as a part of the 5.8L MCU electronic system.
Carburetor Feedback Solenoid - 2150A
Duty Cycle Solenoid (FBCA) Diagnostic Routine
NOTE: This procedure should be conducted only after completion of EEC IV diagnostic procedure
when the resultant error codes included 41 or 42, and the appropriate Pinpoint Tests have been
performed.
To verify that the FBCA is functioning properly warm-up engine until the radiator hose is
pressurized and hot. Turn ignition key to the Off position. Remove FBCA from carburetor, plug idle
system feedback passage (top hole) in carburetor mainbody with a rubber plug, and restart engine.
Observe FBCA for proper function. The rubber plunger in the actuator should be dithering open
and closed If no dithering is observed immediately after start-up, replace FBCA.
NOTE: Duty cycle dithering will be experienced only for a short period after engine start-up.

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to
clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge
tolerant throttle body designs released for 1991 and newer model years.

ISSUE: A rough idle created when the air by-pass valve is replaced may be caused by a revision
made to the valve's wiring harness.
Vehicles built before the 1989 model year had a diode in the air by-pass valve wiring harness. The
new replacement valves have a 3D marking on the plastic portion of the solenoid, above the
connector cap, Figure 1. They have a diode in the air by-pass valve.
On the air by-pass valves used on vehicles built before the 1989 model year, the positive and
negative leads are not important to the operation of the valve. However, the polarity on the new
replacement air by-pass valve is important because if the wiring harness is reversed the air
by-pass valve will not work.
ACTION: Reverse the wires in the air by-pass valve connector and retest the valve. Refer to the
following EFI Engine Application Chart for engines using these air by-pass valves.

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to
clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge
tolerant throttle body designs released for 1991 and newer model years.

ISSUE: A rough idle created when the air by-pass valve is replaced may be caused by a revision
made to the valve's wiring harness.
Vehicles built before the 1989 model year had a diode in the air by-pass valve wiring harness. The
new replacement valves have a 3D marking on the plastic portion of the solenoid, above the
connector cap, Figure 1. They have a diode in the air by-pass valve.
On the air by-pass valves used on vehicles built before the 1989 model year, the positive and
negative leads are not important to the operation of the valve. However, the polarity on the new
replacement air by-pass valve is important because if the wiring harness is reversed the air
by-pass valve will not work.
ACTION: Reverse the wires in the air by-pass valve connector and retest the valve. Refer to the
following EFI Engine Application Chart for engines using these air by-pass valves.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
The Knock Sensor, is a piezoelectric accelerometer with the sensor designed to resonate at
approximately the same frequency as the engine knock frequency. The sensor uses the resonant
frequency to mechanically amplify the vibrations. This method allows relatively large signals to be
achieved without electrical amplification and with small package size.
The sensor has a thin circular piezoelectric ceramic disk which is bonded to a metal diaphragm.
Electrical connections are made through a two pin integral connector.

Main Relay (Computer/Fuel System): Description and Operation
There are two types of relays: the power relay and the time delay power relay. The time delay relay
has a delay of 5 to 10 seconds and is used with an actuator assembly throttle control. Both relay
types consist of a movable contact in the normally open position. All power relays (except time
delay) have the same design with a different bracket attachment.
Function
EEC power relays are in parallel with the ignition switch and provide power to the EEC module.
Power relays also provide reverse battery protection and increased load handling to improve
ignition switch reliability.

LACK OF POWER 7.5L, 5.8L, 5.0L, 4.9L - CATALYTIC CONVERTER DIAGNOSTIC TIPS
LIGHT TRUCK: 1986-91 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES 1988-91 F SUPER DUTY,
F47
ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine - Lack of Power/No Start Diagnosis > Page 2776
NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to update model applicability and to revise the
part number of the Low Volatility Sealant.
ISSUE: EGO sensors can be contaminated if volatile types of silicone are used when servicing the
engine. Volatile silicones can migrate throughout the system during the first one hundred hours of
service. They are commonly found in liquid "silicone rubber" sealants and gasket material. These
products are commonly sold in tubes and caulking-type cartridges.
ACTION: When service is performed on the engine, only use new low volatility silicone sealant
(F1AZ-19662-A) where specified. Also replace the contaminated EGO sensor if required.
CAUTION: DO NOT SUBSTITUTE CONVENTIONAL SILICONE RUBBER SEALANTS WHEN
LOW VOLATILITY SILICONE SEALANT IS SPECIFIED.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
The center of the EEC IV system is a microprocessor called the Electronic Control Assembly
(ECA). The ECA, receives data from a number of sensors and other electronic components
(switches, relays, etc.). The ECA contains a specific calibration for optimizing emissions, fuel
economy, and driveability. Based on information received and programmed into its memory, the
ECA generates output signals to control various relays, solenoids, and other actuators.
The ECA in the EEC IV system is a microprocessor like the one in the other EEC systems. One
significant difference is that this ECA has the calibration module located inside the ECA assembly,
unlike the EEC III system.
The ECA is found in different locations, depending on the model.

Main Relay (Computer/Fuel System): Description and Operation
There are two types of relays: the power relay and the time delay power relay. The time delay relay
has a delay of 5 to 10 seconds and is used with an actuator assembly throttle control. Both relay
types consist of a movable contact in the normally open position. All power relays (except time
delay) have the same design with a different bracket attachment.
Function
EEC power relays are in parallel with the ignition switch and provide power to the EEC module.
Power relays also provide reverse battery protection and increased load handling to improve
ignition switch reliability.

Barometric Pressure Switch: Description and Operation
The Ignition Barometric Pressure Switch, is used to control spark timing and/or other electrical
devices in response to changes in barometric pressure (i.e., altitude). When controlling spark
timing, the ignition module (12A244) is made to vary the spark timing by an amount determined by
calibration resistors in the switch assembly. In normal operation, spark timing is increased for
vehicle operation above the switching point (increasing altitude) and retarded for vehicle operation
below the switching point (decreasing altitude). When controlling other electrical devices, only
On/Off control is provided; with On (switch closed) above the switching point and Off (switch open)
below the switching point. Some switch assemblies control both spark timing and another device
(dual switch assembly) and other switch assemblies control only one or the other (single switch
assembly).

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor, detects the temperature of engine coolant and
supplies the Information to Electronic Control Assembly (ECA).
The ECT sensor is threaded into the heater outlet fitting or cooling passage on the engine. For
engine control applications, the ECT signal is used to modify ignition timing, EGR flow, and air to
fuel ratio as a function of engine coolant temperature. On electronic instrument cluster applications,
the ECT output is used to control a coolant temperature indicator.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
The Knock Sensor, is a piezoelectric accelerometer with the sensor designed to resonate at
approximately the same frequency as the engine knock frequency. The sensor uses the resonant
frequency to mechanically amplify the vibrations. This method allows relatively large signals to be
achieved without electrical amplification and with small package size.
The sensor has a thin circular piezoelectric ceramic disk which is bonded to a metal diaphragm.
Electrical connections are made through a two pin integral connector.

F47
ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine - Lack
of Power/No Start Diagnosis > Page 2892
NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to update model applicability and to revise the
part number of the Low Volatility Sealant.
ISSUE: EGO sensors can be contaminated if volatile types of silicone are used when servicing the
engine. Volatile silicones can migrate throughout the system during the first one hundred hours of
service. They are commonly found in liquid "silicone rubber" sealants and gasket material. These
products are commonly sold in tubes and caulking-type cartridges.
ACTION: When service is performed on the engine, only use new low volatility silicone sealant
(F1AZ-19662-A) where specified. Also replace the contaminated EGO sensor if required.
CAUTION: DO NOT SUBSTITUTE CONVENTIONAL SILICONE RUBBER SEALANTS WHEN
LOW VOLATILITY SILICONE SEALANT IS SPECIFIED.

WARNING: This modification is authorized only for the listed engines. Performing this modification
on other engine calibrations is unauthorized and could create liability under applicable federal or
local laws.
A new design Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) has been released for all 1986 EEC IV applications.
The new TPS is designed to eliminate a false Self-Test Code 53. A Code 53 indicates the TPS
system has failed at the wide open throttle position (approximately 5.0 volts), The new TPS
eliminates false Code 53 by limiting the wide open throttle voltage to 4.75 volts. With the new TPS,
Code 53 will only result from a circuit or TPS malfunction.
The new Throttle Position Sensors can be used to replace faulty sensors on 1985 vehicles. If the
old design service part is used, a false Code 53 may result.

ISSUE: All Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) mounting screws have a "Pozidrive" head. The
"Pozidrive" head looks a lot like a Phillips screw head. Use of a Phillips head screwdriver to remove
a "Pozidrive" screw will normally result in a rounded or damaged screw head. Many technicians
think it is an overtorqued or "frozen" screw. An adhesive was also used as a thread sealant starting
with the 1988 model year. This adhesive requires still more effort to loosen and remove the screw.
ACTION: To prevent rounded or damages screw heads when servicing the TPS mounting screws,
technicians should always use a # 2 "Pozidrive" screwdriver.

WARNING: This modification is authorized only for the listed engines. Performing this modification
on other engine calibrations is unauthorized and could create liability under applicable federal or
local laws.
A new design Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) has been released for all 1986 EEC IV applications.
The new TPS is designed to eliminate a false Self-Test Code 53. A Code 53 indicates the TPS
system has failed at the wide open throttle position (approximately 5.0 volts), The new TPS
eliminates false Code 53 by limiting the wide open throttle voltage to 4.75 volts. With the new TPS,
Code 53 will only result from a circuit or TPS malfunction.
The new Throttle Position Sensors can be used to replace faulty sensors on 1985 vehicles. If the
old design service part is used, a false Code 53 may result.

Air Injection Vacuum Control Solenoid Valve: Description and Operation
The dual thermactor air control solenoid valve assembly consists of two normally closed solenoid
vacuum valves (TAB & TAD), one controlling the thermactor air bypass valve and the other the
thermactor diverter valve. Both are vented when de-energized, sourced by the intake manifold
vacuum reservoir and controlled by an EEC system (they are also discussed in the EEC and MCU
Systems diagnostic procedures).

Control Solenoid Valve > Component Information > Locations > Page 2956
Air Injection Vacuum Control Solenoid Valve: Testing and Inspection
For additional information, refer to Powertrain Management / Computers and Control Systems /
System Diagnosis.
The function of each valve can be determined by externally energizing with vacuum sourced and
output gauged. (Refer to solenoid vacuum valve, NC).
The resistance of each solenoid should be between 51 and 108 ohms when checked at the coil
terminals. If the resistance is not within these values, the solenoid should be replaced.
NOTE: The valves can be expected to have a very small leakage rate when energized or
deenergized. This leakage is not measurable in the field and is not detrimental to valve function.

Air Injection Bypass Valve: Description and Operation Air Bypass Valves
There are two general groups of Air Bypass Valves, normally closed and normally open. Each
group is available in remote (in-line) versions or pump-mounted (mounted directly on the air pump)
versions (Figures 1, 2, and 3). The bypass valves are part of the Thermactor System. Normally
closed valves supply air to the exhaust system with medium and high applied vacuum signals
during normal (engine at normal operating temperature) modes, short idles and some
accelerations. With low or no vacuum applied the pump air is dumped through the silencer ports of
the valve.
Normally open air bypass valves are available with or without vacuum vents. Test procedures differ
for each.
Normally open valves with a vacuum vent provide a timed air dump during decelerations and also
dump when a vacuum pressure difference is maintained between the signal port and the vent port.
The signal port must have 10 kPa (3 in Hg) more vacuum than the vent port to hold the dump. This
mode is used to protect the catalyst from overheating.
Normally open valves without a vacuum vent provide a timed dump of air for 1.1 or 2.8 seconds
when a sudden high vacuum of about 68 kPa (20 in.-Hg.) is applied to the signal port. This
prevents backfire during deceleration.

Normally Open Air Bypass Valves without Vacuum Vent -Heavy Truck Applications
Normally open valves without a vacuum vent provide a timed dump of air for 2 seconds nominal
when a sudden high vacuum of about 68 kPa (20 in.-Hg) is applied to the signal port. This prevents
backfire during deceleration.
Normally Open Air Bypass Valves (9B289)-Heavy Truck Application
Normally open valves with a vacuum vent provide a timed air dump decelerations and also dump
when a vacuum pressure difference is maintained between the signal port and the vent port. The
signal port must have 10 kPa (3 in-Hg) more vacuum than the vent port to hold the dump. This

Air Injection Bypass Valve: Description and Operation Combination Air Bypass/Air Control Valve
The Combination Air Bypass/Air Control Valve (9F491) combines the functions of the air bypass
valve (9B289) and the air control valve (9F491) into a single unit. There are two normally closed
valves; the non-bleed type Figure 1 and the bleed type Figure 2 all of which look alike. One
distinguishing feature will be that the bleed type will have a the percent of bleed molded into the
plastic case.

Air Injection Bypass Valve: Testing and Inspection Air Bypass Valves
Normally Closed Bypass Valves
1. Disconnect the air supply hose at the valve outlet.
2. Remove vacuum line to check to see that a vacuum signal is present at the vacuum nipple.
Remove or bypass any restrictors or delay valves in the vacuum line. There must be a vacuum
present at the nipple before proceeding.
3. With the engine at 1500 rpm and the vacuum line connected to the vacuum nipple, air pump
supply air should be heard and felt at the air bypass valve outlet (Fig. 1).
4. With the engine at 1500 rpm, disconnect the vacuum line. Air at the outlet should be significantly
decreased or shut off. Air pump supply air should be heard or felt at the silencer ports.
5. If the normally closed air bypass valve does not successfully complete the above tests, check
the air pump. If the air pump is operating satisfactorily, replace the air bypass valve.
Normally Open Air Bypass Valves With Vacuum Vents
1. Disconnect the air pump supply line at the outlet.
2. Disconnect all vacuum lines from the vacuum nipple and the vacuum vent (Fig. 2).
3. With the engine at 1500 rpm, air pump supply air should be heard and felt at the outlet (Fig. 2)
4. Using a length of vacuum hose with no restrictors or devices, connect the vacuum nipple to one
of the manifold vacuum fittings on the intake manifold. With the vacuum vent open to atmosphere
and the engine at 1500 rpm, virtually no air should be felt at the valve outlet and virtually all air
should be bypassed through the silencer ports.
5. Using the same direct vacuum line to an intake manifold vacuum source, cap the vacuum vent.
Accelerate the engine to 2000 rpm, and suddenly release the throttle. A momentary interruption of
air pump supply air should be felt at the valve outlet (Fig. 2)
6. Reconnect all vacuum and thermactor lines. If any of the above tests are not satisfactorily
completed, check the air pump. If the air pump is operating satisfactorily, replace the air bypass
valve.

Air Injection Check Valve: Description and Operation Air Check Valve/Pulse Air Valve
The Air Check Valve (Fig. 1) is a one-way valve that allows thermactor air to pass into the exhaust
system while preventing exhaust gases from passing in the opposite direction.
The Pulse Air Valve (Fig. 2) replaces the air pump application in some thermactor Systems. It
permits air to be drawn into the exhaust system on vacuum exhaust pulses and blocks the
backflow of high pressure exhaust pulses. The fresh air completes the oxidation of exhaust gas
components.
NOTE: Although the two valves share the same basic part number and have the same
appearance, they are NOT INTERCHANGEABLE.

Air Injection Check Valve: Description and Operation Anti-Backfire Gulp Valve
The anti-backfire valve is located downstream from the air bypass valve, and its purpose Is to
divert a portion of the thermactor air to the intake manifold when it is triggered by intake manifold
vacuum signal on decel, that is, only during periods of sudden decrease in intake manifold
pressure.

Air Injection Check Valve: Testing and Inspection Air Check Valve/Pulse Air Valve
1. Inspect all hoses, tubes and the air valve for leaks.
2. Disconnect the hose on the inlet side of the air valve, and connect the check valve tester
T75L-9487-A or equivalent as shown in Fig. 2. Note that a 6 inch length of tube, securely clamped,
should be used between the valve and the tester.
3. Squeeze the rubber bulb on the tester as flat as possible, then release it. The bulb should
remain creased for 8 seconds and should not return to a normal shape until after 15 seconds.
If the above tester is not available, blow through the check valve, toward manifold, then attempt to
suck back through the valve; the valve should free flow in the direction of the exhaust manifold
only.
4. For the pulse air valve only: after starting the engine and at curb idle, a suction should be felt at
the valve inlet. If not, replace the valve.

Air Pump: Description and Operation
Passenger Cars and Light Trucks
The Air Supply Pump is a belt driven, positive displacement, vane type pump that provides air for
the thermactor system. it is available in 11-cubic inch and 19-cubic inch sizes, either of which may
be driven with different pulley ratios for different applications. The 11-cubic inch pump (Figure 1)
receives its air through a remote filter attached to the air inlet nipple or through an impeller type
centrifugal air filter fan. The 19-cubic inch pump (Figure 2) uses an impeller type centrifugal air filter
fan which separate dirt, dust, and other contaminants from the Intake air by centrifugal force. The
air supply pump does not have a pressure relief valve, a function performed by the bypass valve.

Fig. 79 Thermactor II system (typical)
Fig. 80 Thermactor II pulse air valve operation
Some engines are equipped with this type of exhaust air injection system, Fig. 79, which does not
have an air pump. The system uses the natural pulses of the exhaust system to draw air into the
exhaust manifold. The system is regulated by a pulse air valve. The valve, Fig. 80, is connected to
the air cleaner with a hose and to the exhaust manifold with a metal tube. Some pulse air valves
closely resemble the standard Thermactor check valves, but are not interchangeable with them.
When pressure inside the exhaust manifold is more than the pressure in the air cleaner, the reed in
the pulse air valve is closed. When pressure in the exhaust manifold is lower than in the air
cleaner, the reed opens and allows air to be drawn into the exhaust manifold.

F47
ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Catalytic Converter > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine - Lack of Power/No Start Diagnosis > Page 3018
NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation Dual Catalytic Converter
Fig. 17 Dual catalytic converter
This converter consists of two catalytic converters in one shell, with a mixing chamber in between
the two, Fig. 17. Each converter is composed of a ceramic ``honey comb'' coated with a
rhodium/platinum catalyst designed to control oxides of nitrogen (NOx), unburned hydrocarbons
(HC) and carbon monoxide (CO), and is therefore called a ``three way catalyst'' (TWC). The rear
converter is coated with platinum catalyst and is called a ``conventional'' oxidation catalyst'' (COC)
converter. The platinum catalyst is also called a ``two way catalyst'' since it only acts on two of the
major pollutants, HC and CO.
The TWC converter acts on the exhaust gases from the engine. As the gases flow from the TWC to
the COC converter, they mix with air from the thermactor pump injected into the mixing chamber or
``mid-bed''. This air is required for proper oxidation of HC and CO in the COC converter.

Fig. 6 Dual type catalytic converter
The catalytic converter used on some vehicles, serves two purposes: it permits a faster chemical
reaction to take place and although it enters into the chemical reaction, it remains unchanged,
ready to repeat the process. The catalytic converter combines hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon
monoxide (CO) with oxygen to form water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The catalyst is
structured in the form of a honeycomb monolithic composition, Figs. 4,5 and 6 . The catalyst
consists of a porous substrate of an inert material, coated with platinum and other noble metals
(the catalytically active materials.) This device, located in the exhaust system between the exhaust
manifold and muffler, requires the use of heat shields, in some cases, due to its high operating
temperatures. The heat shields are necessary to protect chassis components, passenger
compartment and other areas from heat related damage. A small diameter fuel tank filler tube neck
is incorporated to prevent the larger service station pump nozzle, used for leaded fuels, being
inserted into the filler tube, thereby preventing system contamination. Since the use of leaded fuels
contaminates the catalysts, deteriorating its effectiveness, the use of unleaded fuels is mandatory
in vehicles equipped with catalytic converters. The catalytic converter can tolerate small amounts of
leaded fuels without permanently reducing the catalyst effectiveness. There are basically three
types of catalysts, the conventional oxidation catalyst (COC) containing Platinum (Pt) and
Palladium (Pd) which are effective for catalyzing the oxidation reactions of hydrocarbons (HC) and
carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. A three-way catalyst (TWC) containing Platinum (Pt) and
Rhodium (RH), is not only effective for catalyzing the oxidation reactions of HC and CO emissions,
but it also catalyzes the reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx). A light off catalyst (LOC) is a single
bed converter. It is arranged in series with the main catalytic converter assembly of COC and/or
TWC as the aft member(s). This converter is designed to perform the very specialized function of
exhaust emission control during engine warm-up when the main converter(s) is not yet at the
temperature required for maximum efficiency. The LOC is designed to operate effectively in the
high environmental conditions that exist near the manifold flange. The LOC is designed with a
minimum heat sink effect and, provides minimum delay in warm-up of the main catalytic
converter(s). The oxidation catalyst requires the use of a secondary air source which is provided by
the pulse air or thermactor air injection systems.

Exhaust Heat Control Valve: Description and Operation Exhaust Heat Control Valve
The purpose of the exhaust heat control valve, is to divert hot gases from the exhaust manifold to
the intake manifold riser pad. Heat is transferred from the exhaust gas to the riser pad, which in
turn heats the incoming fuel/air charge. There are two types currently available; the bimetal spring
type and the vacuum actuated type.
Bimetal Type
The valve is normally in the closed position engine cold and not running to divert exhaust gases to
the intake manifold riser pad. When the engine is started, the heat from the exhaust gases actuates
the bimetal spring which opens the valve. As operating temperatures are reached, the valve will
remain open. The valve, when cold, will also open at high engine speeds, due to the action of the
exhaust gas on the unbalanced valve plate.
Vacuum Operated
The vacuum operated heat valve functions as follows:
^ When the engine is started, the valve is closed by intake manifold vacuum acting on the vacuum
motor.
^ The valve will stay closed until one of two conditions occurs:
1. When the engine coolant temperature reaches a predetermined value, the vacuum supply to the
heat valve is shut-off by a temperature sensing vacuum switch and the heat valve opens.
2. When the engine speed/load condition causes a drop in intake manifold vacuum below a specific
value, the heat valve opens.

Exhaust Heat Control Valve: Description and Operation Fuel Evaporation Heater (EFE) Switch
The Fuel Evaporation Heater (EFE) switch, is mounted upside down at the rear of the engine on
the bottom of the intake manifold. The purpose of the switch is to control a relay and heater
element in the early fuel evaporation system (EFE) based on engine temperature The normally
closed switch will activate the relay and heater at low engine temperature and will open at the
specified calibration temperature of the switch. This will open the control relay shutting off the EFE
heater after engine warm-up.

Exhaust Heat Control Valve: Testing and Inspection
Bimetal Type
A. Inspect valve assembly for any abnormal condition. Service or replace as necessary.
B. Lubricate the valve with COAZ-19A501-A or C4AZ-19A5O1-A graphite lube or equivalent.
C. Check valve and thermostatic spring operation by manually rotating the valve shaft. Valve must
be free and return to the closed position when cold (Rotunda Choke Tester Model 090-00001 or
equivalent may be used if necessary to cool bimetal).
Vacuum Operated
Apply 33.77-67.54 kPa (10-15 in-Hg.) vacuum to the vacuum motor using a hand vacuum pump
and trap for 60 seconds. The valve must close and not leak more than 6.75 kPa (2 in-Hg.) and
open when the vacuum is released. it it does not operate in this manner replace the valve.

The Fuel Bowl Vent Solenoid Valve, Figure 1 is part of the Evaporative Emission Control System,
and is a normally open valve located in the fuel bowl vent line. The vent solenoid valve closes off
the fuel bowl vent line when the engine is running, and it returns to the normally open condition
when the ignition switch is turned off.
NOTE: if lean fuel mixture Is suspected as the cause of a problem, Inspect the bowl vent solenoid
valve for proper closing during engine operation. If the valve leaks or does not close, the carburetor
will give a leaner air/fuel mixture.

Bowl Vent Valve: Description and Operation Carburetor Fuel Bowl Thermal Vent Valve
The Thermal Vent Valve, Figure 1 is a temperature actuated Off/On valve. It is inserted in the
carburetor-to-canister vent line and is closed when the engine compartment is cold. This prevents
fuel tank vapors (generated when the fuel tank heats up before the engine compartment does) from
being vented through the carburetor fuel bowl-forcing them instead into the carbon canister.
This effect can occur, for instance, when sunlight strikes a vehicle which has been sitting out all
night, and begins to warm the fuel tank. With the thermal vent valve closed, the vapors cannot
enter the carburetor fuel bowl vent valve (now closed) but must be routed to the carbon canister.
As the engine compartment warms up, during normal engine operation, the thermal vent valve
opens. When the engine is again turned off, the thermal vent valve (now open because underhood
temperature is above 120°F) allows fuel vapors generated from the carburetor float bowl to pass
through the valve and store themselves in the carbon canister. As the thermal vent valve cools, it
again closed and the cycle begins again.

Evaporative Emission System to control vapor flow from the carburetor bowl to the carbon canister.
With either valve, the flow path from the bowl to the canister is closed by manifold vacuum when
the engine is running. The thermostatic valve also closes the bowl-to-canister flow path when the
temperature of the valve is 90°F or less (even without manifold vacuum). When the temperature of
the valve is 120° F or more the valve is open (unless closed by manifold vacuum)

This system provides a vapor space above the gasoline surface in the fuel tank. This area is
enough to permit breathing space for the tank vapor valve assembly under all static and most

the valve assembly which is centrally located on the upper surface of the tank. Vertically mounted
tanks use a centrally mounted vapor valve assembly on the uppermost surface of the fuel tank.

Fig. 47 Fuel tank vapor valve
All fuel tank vapor valves, Fig. 55, use a small orifice which allows only vapor and not fuel to pass
into the line going to the vapor storage canister. This assembly is mounted on the fuel tank. Fuel
vapors trapped in the sealed fuel tank are vented through the vapor valve assembly. The vapors
leave the valve assembly through a single vapor line and continue to the charcoal canister for
storage, until they are purged into the engine. On vehicles equipped with fuel/vapor return lines,
vapors created in the fuel line is continuously vented back to the fuel tank. This prevents engine
surging from fuel enrichment.

EGR solenoid valve assembly (dithering type)
Dithering Type
The dual EGR solenoid valve assembly consists of two dithering solenoid valves. One is a vacuum
valve which supplies vacuum to the sonic EGR valve when energized. The second valve is a vent
valve which vents the EGR valve to the atmosphere when de-energized. Both solenoid valves
receive variable duty cycle signals from ECU (EEC IV) according to EGR requirements. A restrictor
is added in vacuum valve inlet port to reduce its flow compared to vent valve. So in case vacuum
valve sticks open, the vent valve will be capable of venting the vacuum flow immediately without
affecting the devices being controlled.
It is used with the EGR valve in EEC IV systems.

EGR Control Solenoid: Testing and Inspection
The resistance of each solenoid should be between 32 and 64 ohms. If the solenoid is not within
these values, the solenoid should be replaced.
The vent valve should flow when the solenoid is de-energized.
The control valve should flow air when the solenoid is energized.
For additional information, Refer to Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/System Diagnosis
NOTE: The valves can be expected to have a very small leakage rate when energized or
de-energized. This leakage is not measurable in the field and is not detrimental to valve function.

these values, the solenoid should be replaced.
The vent valve should flow when the solenoid is de-energized.
The control valve should flow air when the solenoid is energized.
For additional information, Refer to Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/System Diagnosis
NOTE: The valves can be expected to have a very small leakage rate when energized or
de-energized. This leakage is not measurable in the field and is not detrimental to valve function.

EGR Valve: Description and Operation EGR Valve - Electronic
The Electronic EGR Valve, is required in EEC systems where EGR flow is controlled according to
computer demands by means of an EGR valve position (EVP) sensor attached to the valve.
The valve is operated by a vacuum signal from the dual EGR Solenoid Valves (9D474) or the
electronic vacuum regulator (9J459) which actuates the valve diaphragm.
As supply vacuum overcomes the spring load the diaphragm is actuated which lifts the pintle off its
seat allowing exhaust gas to recirculate (flow). The amount of flow is proportional to the pintle
position The EVP sensor mounted on the valve sends an electrical signal of its position to the
Electronic Control Assembly (12A650).
The Electronic EGR Valve Assembly (9F483) is not serviceable. The EVP sensor (9G428) and
EGR valve (9H473) must be serviced separately.

EGR Valve: Description and Operation EGR Valve - Integral Backpressure Transducer
The Integral backpressure transducer EGR valve combines inputs of backpressure and EGR port
vacuum into one unit. The valve requires BOTH inputs to operate. The valve will not operated on
vacuum alone. The backpressure valve has two types; poppet and tapered pintle.

EGR Valve: Description and Operation EGR Valve - Ported
The ported EGR Valve is operated by a vacuum signal (only) from the carburetor EGR port signal
which actuates the valve diaphragm. As the vacuum increases sufficiently to overcome the power
spring, the valve is opened allowing EGR flow. The amount of flow is dependent on the tapered
pintle or the poppet position which is a direct result of vacuum signal.

EGR Valve: Description and Operation EGR Valve and Transducer Assembly
The Valve and Transducer Assembly (9H495) which consists of a modified ported EGR valve and
a remote transducer, is used on selected 2.0/2.3L engines. This assembly operates the same as
the Integral Backpressure Transducer EGR Valve (9D448) and is diagnosed and serviced as an
assembly only. Valve function checks are the same as those for the Integral Backpressure
Transducer EGR Valve.
When servicing the assembly or any related vacuum harness, it is important to ensure proper
orientation of the transducer. The nipple of the transducer attached to the metal tube from the EGR
valve base must point straight down after installation. This allows drainage of exhaust gas
condensation that may accumulate.

EGR Valve: Description and Operation Pressure Feedback Electronic EGR Valve
The Pressure Feedback Electronic (PFE) EGR valve is a conventional ported EGR valve with a
backpressure sensing to be attached to it. The valve is used in conjunction with a pressure
transducer (9F460) which supplies valve position feedback to the EEC IV processor. The EGR flow
rate is proportional to the pressure drop across a remotely mounted sharp edged orifice.

Exhaust Pressure Regulator Vacuum Valve: Description and Operation
The Electronic Vacuum Regulator (EVR) is an electromagnetic device which controls vacuum
out-put to the EGR valve. The EVR replaces the EGR Solenoid Vacuum Vent Valve Assembly
(9D474). An electric current in the coil induces a magnetic field in the armature. The magnetic field
pushes against a spring loaded disc increasing the vacuum level. The vacuum source is either
manifold or port vacuum. As the current is increased an increased vacuum signal goes to the EGR.

Thermostatic Air Cleaner Vacuum Switch: Description and Operation Air Cleaner Cold Weather
Modulator
A cold weather modulator is some times used in addition to the air cleaner temperature control
(bi-metal) sensor to control the inlet air temperature.
The cold weather modulator traps vacuum in the system, so the door will not switch to cold air
when the vacuum drops during acceleration. The cold weather modulator only works when the
outside air is cold.

LACK OF POWER 7.5L, 5.8L, 5.0L, 4.9L - CATALYTIC CONVERTER DIAGNOSTIC TIPS
LIGHT TRUCK: 1986-91 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES 1988-91 F SUPER DUTY,
F47
ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst
Ford F 150 2wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-351 5.8L (1986))

temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.
NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

- Remove the carburetor air cleaner.
- Slowly (fuel line is pressurized) disconnect the fuel line at the fuel filter.
WARNING: Use care to prevent combustion of spilled fuel.
- Place a suitable non-breakable container (1/2 liter or 1 pint minimum) at the end of the
disconnected fuel line (a piece of hose may be needed on the fuel line end).
- Disconnect high tension wire from coil.
- Crank engine 10 seconds, the fuel pump should deliver 0.158 liters (1/3 pint) of fuel or more.
- If fuel flow is to specification perform pressure test. See: Fuel Pressure Test
- If fuel flow is low repeat procedure using a non-breakable container of gasoline connected to the
fuel pump inlet. If fuel pressure is to specification, the problem is either a plugged in-tank filter, or a kinked or
leaking fuel pump inlet hose.
- If fuel flow is still below specification, replace fuel pump.

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to

F47
ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.

NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

LIGHT TRUCK 1984-86 E-SERIES, F-SERIES, BRONCO
The description of the remote mounted altitude compensation system for the 5.8L engine was
inadvertently omitted from the 1984 through 1986 Light Truck Engine Shop Manuals. Add the
following altitude compensator description as a supplement to Section 24-26 of the above Shop
Manuals.
OTHER APPLICABLE ARTICLES: None WARRANTY STATUS: "INFORMATION ONLY" Altitude
Compensator
Engines equipped to compensate for the lower atmospheric pressures at high elevations (4000 feet
above sea level or higher) have a remote-mounted altitude compensator system. This system is
used only on under 8500 lbs. GVW vehicles that have the optional "Altitude Package". Above 3400
feet, this altitude compensator bypasses the metering system to lean out the rich fuel/air ratios that
occur. A defective altitude compensator that did not bypass air at high elevations would result in
poor engine performance. Also, fuel economy would be low, and there might be black smoke from
the exhaust. On the other hand, some defective altitude compensators might always bypass air,
even at elevations near sea level. The resulting lean condition would cause poor engine
performance and stalling at lower elevations.
FIG. 1 - Remote Mounted Altitude Compensator
The altitude compensator system is pictured in Figure 1.
When the barometric pressure switch senses that the vehicle is operating at more than 3400 feet
above sea level, it provides an electrical ground for the rest of the system. The vacuum switches
and the vacuum solenoid valves function only when this electrical ground is present. The vacuum
switches are used to sense manifold vacuum; and the vacuum solenoid valves, when open, bypass
air to the engine in a staged function of manifold vacuum.
Above 3400 feet, the idle solenoid valve is always open and bypassing air whenever the engine is
running. The amount of air thus bypassed is limited by an orifice in the system. When the engine is
at any speed except idle, an additional amount of air from the idle solenoid valve is bypassed
through the off-idle vacuum switch. If the manifold vacuum drops below ten inches, the 10" vacuum
switch engages. This provides a ground circuit that allows the 10" vacuum solenoid valve to open
and bypass even more air. Likewise, if the manifold vacuum drops below five inches, the 5"
vacuum switch and the two 5" vacuum solenoids operate to allow even more air to bypass. For
information on the electrical schematic, refer to the Electrical and Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual,
"5.8L 4-V Carburetor Circuits" section. Also, refer to the Engine Decal (located under the hood on
top of the radiator shield) for the vacuum schematic.

Component Information > Description and Operation
Accelerator Pump: Description and Operation
The Temperature Compensated (rate-sensitive) Pump, will allow delivery of a large pump capacity
to facilitate cold engine requirements and a smaller pump capacity during warm engine operation.
The amount of fuel delivered during warm engine operation is a function of the rate at which the
accelerator pedal is opened (fast opening-low capacity/slow opening-higher capacity). The design
incorporates a bypass bleed controlled by a vacuum operated valve. Normally, the input signal
controlling the valve position is manifold vacuum switched by a PVS located in the engine coolant
system.
The valve is normally closed when no vacuum is applied allowing full pump capacity during the cold

amount of fuel bypassed back to the fuel bowl and not delivered to the intake air stream.

Accelerator Pump: Testing and Inspection
LEAKING DIAPHRAGM: Allow engine coolant to stabilize to ambient temperature. Start engine and
immediately check for vacuum at the Temperature Compensated Accelerator Pump TCAP valve.
When the engine is cold, No vacuum should be present, (at the TCAP valve). Allow engine
temperature to reach a stabilized value and check to ensure that a vacuum greater than 10 in-Hg.
is present at the TCAP valve. If the vacuum signal to the TCAP valve is incorrect either in the hot or
cold mode, check vacuum hoses, connections and the vacuum control valve. After a vacuum is
verified, shut-off engine and connect a six inch section of clear tubing (5/32-inch ID) between the
TCAP vacuum hose and the TCAP valve. If no fuel is flowing, remove clear tubing and reinstall
vacuum hose to the TCAP valve, turn the engine Off.
HOT/COLD FUNCTION: With engine Off, remove carburetor air horn and air horn gasket. If the
engine is warm relieve pressure on fuel inlet needle by carefully depressing fuel bowl float,
carefully remove float and needle assembly, remove enough fuel from the float bowl so that the
TCAP bypass bleed hole (fuel bowl side of TCAP valve) is just at or above fuel level. Remove the
vacuum hose from the TCAP valve, actuate accelerator pump - at a moderate to fast rate, observe
fuel discharge out of TCAP bypass bleed hose. No fuel discharge should be observed from the
bypass bleed. If fuel does discharge, replace valve. With a hand operated vacuum pump, apply a
vacuum greater than 10 In.Hg. to the TCAP valve. Actuate the accelerator pump with a very quick
action from idle to wide open throttle, fuel should be discharged from this bypass bleed. If fuel does
not discharge, replace TCAP valve. Reinstall float and needle assembly, air horn and a new air
horn gasket. Tighten screws securely.

To satisfy the requirements in various climates, the pump discharge can be adjusted. The bottom
hole (No. 2) in the pump cam and throttle lever provides the maximum pump discharge for extreme
cold weather, and the top hole (No. 1) provides the minimum pump discharge for warm weather
operation. If a change in the adjustment is required, make certain the proper hole in plastic pump
cam, located behind throttle lever, is properly indexed with the numbered hole in the throttle lever
before installing the retaining screw.

Bowl Vent Solenoid: Description and Operation
The Fuel Bowl Vent Solenoid Valve, Figure 1 is part of the Evaporative Emission Control System,
and is a normally open valve located in the fuel bowl vent line. The vent solenoid valve closes off
the fuel bowl vent line when the engine is running, and it returns to the normally open condition
when the ignition switch is turned off.
NOTE: if lean fuel mixture Is suspected as the cause of a problem, Inspect the bowl vent solenoid
valve for proper closing during engine operation. If the valve leaks or does not close, the carburetor
will give a leaner air/fuel mixture.

Carburetor Solenoid: Description and Operation Carburetor Feedback Solenoid - YFA
This solenoid assembly is an integral part of the YFA feedback carburetors
In a feedback system, it operates as a pulse width modulated (dithering) solenoid, varying the air
bled into the idle and main fuel metering circuits, in response to commands from the MCU or EEC,
thereby varying the fuel/air ratio delivered to the engine.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Carburetor Feedback Solenoid - YFA > Page 3468
Carburetor Solenoid: Description and Operation Carburetor Feedback Solenoid - 2150A
Feedback Fuel Control utilizes a pulsing solenoid to introduce fresh air from the air cleaner into the
idle and main system vacuum passages to lean the fuel and air mixture from the maximum rich
condition (0% duty cycle - solenoid closed) to the maximum lean condition (100% duty cycle solenoid fully open). The solenoid operates under the control of the EEC-IV system. Also new to the
2150 carburetor is a throttle position sensor required by the EEC system. This new sensor was
designed for the 2150 carburetor and was made non-adjustable to reduce production and warranty
costs. To package the throttle position sensor and the feedback system changes were made to the
booster assembly, main body, airhorn, throttle shaft and to certain choke linkage parts (fast idle
cam, cam hub, cam rod, fast idle level & choke shield).

Carburetor Solenoid: Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
After completing the MCU or EEC diagnostic procedure, and tracing the probable cause of the
problem to the feedback solenoid, perform one or more of the following procedures:
Feedback Carburetors - Rough Idle, Lean Drive
1. With the engine running at idle, retighten the solenoid mounting screws to 30 lb-in. If idle does
not change, proceed to Step 2.
2. With the engine running at idle, apply a stethoscope or metal rod to the solenoid body and listen
(or feel) for a 10 Hz constant pulse. If the pulse is not evident, or is erratic, replace the solenoid
assembly and gasket.
3. With the engine running at idle, disconnect the solenoid lead. If the idle quality improves
significantly with the solenoid disconnected, replace the solenoid assembly and gasket.
NOTE: Since disconnecting the lead will appreciably richen the idle mixture, similar to the
propane-gain technique, some degree of idle quality improvement and idle speed gain is to be
expected, even with a properly operating solenoid.
Feedback Carburetors - Running Rich, Poor Economy
Use Step 2, above for diagnosis.
NOTE: The 2.3L or 4.9L YFA 1-V Feedback Solenoid for the 1985 model year is not
interchangeable with the 1981/82 4.9L solenoid. The former being designed for 38 ohm resistance,
while the 1981/82 (4.9L) is 22 ohm. The Electronic Control Assembly (ECA) will be damaged if
these units are interchanged.

Duty Cycle Solenoid (FBCA) Diagnostic Routine
NOTE: This procedure should be conducted only after completion of EEC IV diagnostic procedure
when the resultant error codes included 41 or 42, and the appropriate Pinpoint Tests have been
performed.
To verify that the FBCA is functioning properly warm-up engine until the radiator hose is
pressurized and hot. Turn ignition key to the Off position. Remove FBCA from carburetor, plug idle
system feedback passage (top hole) in carburetor mainbody with a rubber plug, and restart engine.
Observe FBCA for proper function. The rubber plunger in the actuator should be dithering open
and closed If no dithering is observed immediately after start-up, replace FBCA.
NOTE: Duty cycle dithering will be experienced only for a short period after engine start-up.

Electric Assist Choke: Description and Operation
Fig. 45 Typical electric assist choke installation
Most carbureted engine models are equipped with an electric assist choke. This device aids in
reducing emissions of hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) during starting and warm-up
(choke on) period. The electric assist choke is designed to give a more rapid choke opening at
temperatures of about 54° to 74° F, or higher. It also provides a slower choke opening at
temperatures below this point. The electric assist choke system does not change any carburetor
service procedures and cannot be adjusted. If system is found out of calibration the heater control
switch and/or choke unit must be replaced. The electric choke system, Fig. 45 consists of a choke
cap, thermostatic spring, a bimetal temperature sensing disc (switch), and a ceramic positive
temperature coefficient (PTC) heater. The choke is powered from terminal or tap of the alternator.
Current is constantly supplied to the ambient temperature switch. The system is grounded through
a ground strap connected to the carburetor body. At temperatures below approximately 60° F, the
switch opens and no current is supplied to the ceramic heater located within the thermostatic
spring. Normal thermostatic spring choking action then occurs. At temperatures above
approximately 54°---74° F the temperature sensing switch closes and current is supplied to the
ceramic heater. As the heater warms, it causes the thermostatic spring to pull the choke plates
open within 1 - 1.25 minutes.

ISSUE: Rough idle, hesitation, poor throttle response, induction backfire and stalls during cold
start/warm up may be caused by the poor volatility of some high octane premium grade unleaded
fuels (91 octane or higher (R+M)/2). When compared to regular grade unleaded fuel (87 octane
(R+M)/2), high octane premium grade unleaded fuel may cause long crank time.
ACTION: Use a regular grade unleaded fuel in all vehicles, except where a premium unleaded fuel
is recommended in the Owner Guide. If lean air-fuel type symptoms are experienced, determine
the grade and brand of fuel used and offer the following service tips.
^ Advise those using a higher octane grade fuel to switch to a regular grade unleaded fuel. For
those using a regular grade fuel, advise them to try another brand.
^ Do not advise using a higher octane unleaded fuel than is recommended for that specific engine.
Ford engines are designed to perform best using a high quality regular grade unleaded fuel.
^ Only advise using a higher octane unleaded fuel to avoid potentially damaging spark knock or
ping, but do so only after mechanical fixes are ineffective.
NOTE: ALL UNLEADED GASOLINES USED SHOULD CONTAIN DETERGENT ADDITIVES

ISSUE: California introduced CaRFG around March 1, 1996 and statewide it must be available at
all service stations by June 1, 1996 to help reduce emissions and improve gasoline quality. It will
replace the traditional gasoline sold in Northern California and improve the reformulated gasoline
that has been sold in Southern California since January 1995. California Air Resources Board
(CARB) projects smog forming emissions from motor vehicles to be reduced by about 15 percent.
ACTION: The following text is provided to give some answers to some commonly asked questions
by our customers.
POSITION
Ford Motor Company recommends the use of CaRFG as a cost effective means of reducing
emissions to provide cleaner air. We have participated in vehicle and laboratory testing of CaRFG
to make sure it is acceptable for our customers' use. There are no unusual vehicle performance
concerns expected based upon these studies. The use of CaRFG will not affect Ford's new vehicle
and/or emissions warranty.
WHAT DOES CaRFG CONSIST OF?
CaRFG consists of the same basic components as other gasolines, but it reduces pollution
because of its cleaner burning components. Features are:
^ reduced aromatic hydrocarbons to form less smog emissions
^ added oxygenates to reduce emissions
^ decreases the amount of fuel evaporating from the vehicle
^ lowered sulfur content to provide more efficient operation of the vehicle's catalytic converter

Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins: > 96107 > May > 96 > Fuel - California Reformulated Gasoline
> Page 3514
^ reduced benzene by about one-half
IS CaRFG MORE HAZARDOUS THAN CONVENTIONAL GASOLINES?
CaRFG is a hazardous substance like conventional gasoline. Precautions should continue to be
taken to avoid exposure to vapors or liquid when it is pumped or handled. It should never be
siphoned or swallowed.
HOW WILL CaRFG AFFECT VEHICLE PERFORMANCE?
Properly blended CaRFG should have no adverse effect on vehicle performance or the durability of
engine and fuel system components. Its basic properties are not significantly different than other
cleaner burning gasolines that have been used in the U.S. for several years.
If the vehicle is a certified California calibration 1996 or later model year, it was designed to operate
on CaRFG gasoline. The vehicle will operate satisfactorily on gasolines in the other 49 states, but
emission control system performance may be affected. Using gasolines other than CaRFG have
substantially increased emissions from motor vehicles.
WILL THE USE OF CaRFG AFFECT CALIFORNIA VEHICLE WARRANTY?
No. The coverage of Ford's new vehicle warranty is not affected. In fact, Ford Owner Guides have
consistently approved the use of properly blended reformulated gasolines containing oxygenates.
Further information about properly fueling your vehicle is included in the Owner Guide.
WILL FUEL ECONOMY BE AFFECTED?
A very small reduction in fuel economy of less than one-half mile per gallon is possible if the
customer was using gasoline without oxygenates. This is attributed to the lower energy content of
oxygenates which have been in all Southern California gasolines since January of 1995 and in
some gasolines since the 1970's.
Many factors affect fuel economy like driving habits, vehicle maintenance, weather conditions, etc.
Fuel economy can vary by more than a mile per gallon from one fill-up to the next with the same
gasolines.
For further details see TSB Article 95-12-2 for customer expectations regarding fuel economy.
ARE SPECIAL ADDITIVES NECESSARY FOR CaRFG?
No. It is not necessary to add anything to the vehicle fuel tank after the gasoline is purchased from
the service station. California regulations require deposit control additives in CaRFG to minimize
port fuel injector and intake valve deposits.
WILL OLDER VEHICLES OPERATE SATISFACTORILY WITH THE NEW CaRFG?
Older vehicles are expected to operate satisfactorily on CaRFG because vehicles have been
operating on gasolines similar to CaRFG for a number of years. However, considerable testing
indicates that older, high mileage vehicles are more susceptible to fuel system problems due to age
and normal wear and tear regardless of whether they are operated on conventional or CaRFG
gasolines. Owners of these older vehicles are encouraged to follow their vehicle manufacturer's
recommendations regarding vehicle maintenance.
WILL THE SMELL BE DIFFERENT THAN CONVENTIONAL GASOLINE?
CaRFG is not expected to smell different than the gasoline most vehicles are currently using. If an
unusual odor is noticed, it would probably be from oxygenates. Most service stations use vapor
recovery systems to minimize the release of gasoline vapors while refueling.
The use of CaRFG should result in little or no "rotten egg" smell from the exhaust because CaRFG
has much lower sulfur than conventional gasoline.
WAS CaRFG TESTED BEFORE INTRODUCTION?
It was tested for over five million miles in more than 800 vehicles under the guidance of CARB
including experts representing automobile manufacturers, gasoline suppliers, fleet operations and
government. There was no increase in problems identified with the use of CaRFG.
DOES CaRFG COST MORE?
The price at the pump cannot be accurately predicted, although a modest increase is likely. The
price of CaRFG is subject to the competitive forces in the marketplace. Many factors including
production costs, supply and demand, weather, crude oil prices, and taxes affect gasoline prices.
WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION ON CaRFG?
Additional information within the state of California on CaRFG is available from the California Air
Resources Board toll-free at 1-800-922-7349 (within California only).

ISSUE: Rough idle, hesitation, poor throttle response, induction backfire and stalls during cold
start/warm up may be caused by the poor volatility of some high octane premium grade unleaded
fuels (91 octane or higher (R+M)/2). When compared to regular grade unleaded fuel (87 octane
(R+M)/2), high octane premium grade unleaded fuel may cause long crank time.
ACTION: Use a regular grade unleaded fuel in all vehicles, except where a premium unleaded fuel
is recommended in the Owner Guide. If lean air-fuel type symptoms are experienced, determine
the grade and brand of fuel used and offer the following service tips.
^ Advise those using a higher octane grade fuel to switch to a regular grade unleaded fuel. For
those using a regular grade fuel, advise them to try another brand.
^ Do not advise using a higher octane unleaded fuel than is recommended for that specific engine.
Ford engines are designed to perform best using a high quality regular grade unleaded fuel.
^ Only advise using a higher octane unleaded fuel to avoid potentially damaging spark knock or
ping, but do so only after mechanical fixes are ineffective.
NOTE: ALL UNLEADED GASOLINES USED SHOULD CONTAIN DETERGENT ADDITIVES

ISSUE: Port fuel injected vehicles that have cold hesitation, lack of power, rough engine idle or a
surging condition at steady speeds may be caused by dirty fuel injectors. When no-detergent fuel is
used, deposits form on the fuel metering surfaces of the fuel injectors. The deposits that form
reduce the fuel flow resulting in a lean condition.
ACTION: To correct this, follow normal diagnostics as shown in the Engine/Emissions Diagnosis
Manual, Section 2. If you get to a step that instructs you to replace a fuel injector, FIRST try
cleaning the injector with the Rotunda Tester/Cleaner, 113-00001. If the condition still exists after
cleaning, the injectors should be flow tested to make sure they are functioning properly. If the flow
test indicates lean injectors, a second cleaning may be necessary because of severe injector
fouling. Refer to the diagnostic chart on page 69 of this TSB for step-by-step instructions.
CAUTION: NEVER ATTEMPT TO FLOW TEST INJECTORS WITH THE CLEANING SOLUTION
MIXTURE. THIS WILL PRODUCE FALSE
TEST RESULTS. ONLY USE CLEAN GASOLINE.
In cases where fouled injectors were the cause of the driveability concern, it should be
recommended to the customer that a better quality gasoline be used. The Owner Guide,
Maintenance Schedule and Operating Guide address the fuel quality issue.
NOTE: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE CORRECT CLEANING SOLVENT IS USED WITH
THE ROTUNDA TESTER/CLEANER. THE CORRECT CLEANING SOLVENTS ARE:
Power Flush Injector Fluid
E6AZ-19579-C
Carburetor and Combustion Chamber Cleaner
D9AZ-19579-B

F47
ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins: > 911211 > Jun > 91 > Engine - Lack of
Power/No Start Diagnosis > Page 3567
NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

ISSUE: Port fuel injected vehicles that have cold hesitation, lack of power, rough engine idle or a
surging condition at steady speeds may be caused by dirty fuel injectors. When no-detergent fuel is
used, deposits form on the fuel metering surfaces of the fuel injectors. The deposits that form
reduce the fuel flow resulting in a lean condition.
ACTION: To correct this, follow normal diagnostics as shown in the Engine/Emissions Diagnosis
Manual, Section 2. If you get to a step that instructs you to replace a fuel injector, FIRST try
cleaning the injector with the Rotunda Tester/Cleaner, 113-00001. If the condition still exists after
cleaning, the injectors should be flow tested to make sure they are functioning properly. If the flow
test indicates lean injectors, a second cleaning may be necessary because of severe injector
fouling. Refer to the diagnostic chart on page 69 of this TSB for step-by-step instructions.
CAUTION: NEVER ATTEMPT TO FLOW TEST INJECTORS WITH THE CLEANING SOLUTION
MIXTURE. THIS WILL PRODUCE FALSE
TEST RESULTS. ONLY USE CLEAN GASOLINE.
In cases where fouled injectors were the cause of the driveability concern, it should be
recommended to the customer that a better quality gasoline be used. The Owner Guide,
Maintenance Schedule and Operating Guide address the fuel quality issue.
NOTE: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE CORRECT CLEANING SOLVENT IS USED WITH
THE ROTUNDA TESTER/CLEANER. THE CORRECT CLEANING SOLVENTS ARE:
Power Flush Injector Fluid
E6AZ-19579-C
Carburetor and Combustion Chamber Cleaner
D9AZ-19579-B

LIGHT TRUCK 1985-86 F-250/350
A plugged rear axle vent may cause water to be sucked in through the seals and grease to be
pushed out. This happens when pressures rise and fall inside the axle during various driving
conditions and temperatures. The purpose of the vent is to relieve those pressures. If the vent is
plugged with mud or other foreign materials, the axle cannot "breathe".
To eliminate this concern, perform the following procedure:
Figure 17
1. Remove the vent from the axle (Figure 17).
2. Place the vent in a vise so as not to damage the threads.
3. Drill out the vent using a 3/16 inch drill bit. Clean all shavings from vent.
4. Install vent.
5. Make sure entire vent hose is clear of dirt and mud, etc.
6. Install hose.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1986-91 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES 1988-91 F SUPER DUTY,
F47
ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst

temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.
NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

LACK OF POWER 7.5L, 5.8L, 5.0L, 4.9L - CATALYTIC CONVERTER DIAGNOSTIC TIPS
LIGHT TRUCK: 1986-91 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES 1988-91 F SUPER DUTY,
F47
ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Pump > Fuel Pressure >
System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > By Symptom > Page 3645
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.
NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.

- Remove the carburetor air cleaner.
- Slowly (fuel line is pressurized) disconnect the fuel line at the fuel filter.
WARNING: Use care to prevent combustion of spilled fuel.
- Place a suitable non-breakable container (1/2 liter or 1 pint minimum) at the end of the
disconnected fuel line (a piece of hose may be needed on the fuel line end).
- Disconnect high tension wire from coil.
- Crank engine 10 seconds, the fuel pump should deliver 0.158 liters (1/3 pint) of fuel or more.
- If fuel flow is to specification perform pressure test. See: Fuel Pressure Test
- If fuel flow is low repeat procedure using a non-breakable container of gasoline connected to the
fuel pump inlet. If fuel pressure is to specification, the problem is either a plugged in-tank filter, or a kinked or
leaking fuel pump inlet hose.
- If fuel flow is still below specification, replace fuel pump.

FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE PROCEDURE FOR NYLON FUEL TUBES AND PUSH CONNECT
FITTINGS
FUEL LINES AND HOSES
WARNING: FUEL SUPPLY LINES ON VEHICLES WITH FUEL INJECTED ENGINES WILL
REMAIN PRESSURIZED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME AFTER ENGINE SHUT DOWN WHICH
COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY. THE PRESSURE MUST BE RELIEVED, AS
OUTLINED PER THE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE, BEFORE SERVICING
THE FUEL SYSTEM. READ ALL CAUTIONARY NOTES PRIOR TO RELIEVING THE
PRESSURIZED FUEL SYSTEM.
FUEL TUBES - PLASTIC (NYLON)
CAUTION: FORD APPROVED NYLON FUEL TUBING IS MADE FROM MATERIAL WHICH HAS
BEEN TESTED AND PROVEN TO BE ACCEPTABLE FOR USE WITH COMMERCIALLY
AVAILABLE FUELS. IT IS ALSO RESISTANT TO MOST ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
AVOID USING ALTERNATE TUBING MATERIALS. USE OF NON-APPROVED TUBING COULD
POSE A HAZARD IN SERVICE.
CAUTION: PLASTIC FUEL TUBES MUST NOT BE REPAIRED USING HOSE AND HOSE
CLAMPS. PUSH CONNECT FITTINGS CANNOT BE REPAIRED EXCEPT TO REPLACE THE
RETAINING CLIPS. IF THE PLASTIC TUBES OR PUSH CONNECT FITTINGS BECOME
DAMAGED AND LEAK, APPROVED SERVICE PARTS MUST BE USED TO SERVICE THE FUEL
LINES.
MAJOR SERVICE OPERATIONS - FUEL LINES
Vehicles equipped with nylon fuel tubes and push connect fittings have three (3) types of service
that can be performed to the fuel lines...
^ Replacing nylon tubing (splicing nylon to nylon)
^ Replacing push connector fittings
^ Replacing damaged push connect tube ends.
NOTE: FORMED SECTIONS (BENDS) OF NYLON FUEL LINES CANNOT BE REPAIRED USING
STRAIGHT TUBING. STRAIGHT SERVICE TUBING WILL KINK IF BENT. FORMED NYLON
FUEL LINE IS REOUIRED TO REPLACE THE DAMAGED SECTION.
SPLICING NYLON TO NYLON
1. Relieve the fuel system pressure as outlined in the Service Manual. Read the previously cited
Warning prior to relieving the pressurized fuel system.
2. Cut out the damaged section of tubing (straight non-formed sections only) and retain as a guide.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Fuel System Spring Lock Fitting - Proper Assembly > Page 3684
3. Cut a section of nylon service tubing, type 11 or 12, of the same diameter and length as the
damaged section of tubing.
NOTE: TYPE 11 OR 12 NYLON SERVICE TUBING IS AVAILABLE IN 6.3MM (1/4"), 7.9MM
(5/16") AND 9.5MM (3/8") DIAMETER SIZES.
4. Select the proper nylon barbed connector(s) for completing the splice...
^ 7.9mm (5/16") - Part Number (N806120-S)
^ 9.5mm (3/8") - Part Number (N806119-S)
Two (2) in-line connectors are required for each splice.
NOTE: TO MAKE INSERTION OF THE BARB CONNECTORS INTO THE NYLON LINE EASIER,
THE TUBE END MAY BE SOAKED IN A CUP OF BOILING WATER FOR ONE (1) MINUTE
BEFORE PUSHING THE BARB CONNECTOR INTO THE NYLON. USE ROTUNDA TOOL
134-000001 OR EQUIVALENT TO ASSIST IN ASSEMBLY.
5. Set up Rotunda Tool 134-000001 for in-line splice as shown in Figure 1.
a. Select the proper inserts for the fuel line size and install into both sets of upper and lower block
cavities.
b. Connect the block cavity to the ratcheting rod of the Rotunda Tool with the slot in line with the
slot in the ratcheting tool barrel
c. Install both sets of upper and lower block cavities to the threaded rods of the ratcheting tool,
Figure 1.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Return Line > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Fuel System Spring Lock Fitting - Proper Assembly > Page 3685
d. Install one fuel line into the lower block cavity closest to the ratcheting end of the tool so that the
extension of the fuel line is slightly greater than the barb length of the connector, Figure 2.
e. Route the fuel line through the slot in the tool, Figure 2.
f. Close the upper block cavity onto the lower block cavity and tighten the thumb screw securely.
g. Place the replacement tubing in the forward lower block cavity and repeat Steps d and e.
h. Place the barb connector between the ends of the lines to be spliced and ratchet the tool until
the nylon line has covered all three (3) barbs of the connector on both ends.
i. After completing the splice, unscrew the thumb screws and release the lines. Repeat Steps d
through h on the opposite line end to complete the splice.
6. The completed fuel line splice is shown in Figure 3.
7. Install any remaining clips which were removed for this service. Check to be sure the fuel lines
are secure in the original clips.

Affected Vehicles:
All 1986-1/2, 1987, 1988 and 1989 Model Year gasoline powered F-Series Pickup Trucks including
Chassis Cabs, and Bronco vehicles with EFI engines sold or operated in Mid-West and Western
Regions and the Yukon Territory. Vehicles involved were produced from February 1, 1986, through
to the end of the 1989 model year.
Reason For Recall:
Field investigation has determined that repairs specified in Recall 88S57 were not completely
effective in preventing the condition of pinhole leaks forming in the U-shaped fuel tube ("Jumper
Tube") connecting the on-frame fuel pump to the fuel filter.
Correction:
To prevent this condition from re-occurring, the U-shaped fuel tube, the frame mounted filter and
the fuel delivery tube from the filter to the engine will be replaced with a steel braided electrically
conductive fuel line from the high pressure frame-mounted fuel pump to the engine. A fuel filter
cartridge will also be installed in the fuel reservoir.

Attachment III - Technical Information
Technical Instructions
The new stainless steel reinforced Teflon(R) fuel line replaces both the short "jumper" fuel line from
the high-pressure frame-mounted fuel pump to the filter and the long fuel line from the filter to the
fuel rail on the engine. The existing In-Line Fuel Filter will be removed and discarded. A
canister-type Fuel Filter will be added to the existing fuel reservoir on the frame rail behind the high
pressure pump.
EFI Engines
CAUTION
Fuel supply lines on 4.9L EFI, 5.0L EFI, 5.8L EFI and 7.5L EFI engines will remain pressurized for
some period of time after the engine is shut off. This pressure must be relieved before servicing of
the fuel system.
Before opening the fuel system on vehicles with EFI engines, relieve fuel pressure as follows:
1. Locate and disconnect the electrical connection to either the fuel pump relay, the inertia switch
or the in-line high pressure fuel pump.
2.
Crank engine for approximately ten seconds.
NOTE:
Engine may start and run for a short time. If so, crank engine an additional five seconds after
engine stalls.
3.
Connect the electrical connector that was disconnected in Step 1.
4.
Disconnect battery ground cable.
5.
Raise vehicle on hoist. Refer to the appropriate model year Volume F Pre-Delivery Shop Manual,
Section 50-04, Hoisting and Jacking.
Canister-Type Fuel Filter Installation
CAUTION
If the fuel filter canister is being serviced with the rear of the truck higher than the front, or if the
tank is pressurized, fuel leakage or siphoning from the tank fuel lines could occur. To prevent this
condition, maintain the vehicle front end at or above the level of the rear of vehicle. Also, relieve
tank pressure by loosening the fuel fill cap. Cap should be retightened after pressure is relieved. If
vehicle is warm, install the fuel filter before the pressure rebuilds.
1. Remove the reservoir shield on 4 x 4 vehicles by removing either three or four screws
(depending on vehicle). On 4 x 4 vehicles it may be necessary to disconnect the rear of the front
driveshaft to allow for tool clearance.
NOTE:
To maintain driveshaft balance, mark the rear slip yoke in relation to the transfer case yoke for
correct positioning during reinstallation. Then remove the nuts and U-bolts (bolts for F350 transfer
case) that connect the front driveshaft to the rear slip yoke of the transfer case.
2.
Unscrew the lower canister of the reservoir using a flexible strap type oil filter wrench, and slide
canister out from frame rail.
NOTE:
Fuel canister will be full of fuel.

7.
While keeping canister level, so as not to dislodge O-ring, position canister to bottom of reservoir
housing and tighten loosely by hand. It may be necessary to loosen reservoir-to-frame mounting
bolts to access the canister. Using a flexible strap type oil filter wrench, complete filter canister
tightening by turning canister about one-sixth of a turn past initial O-ring compression.
NOTE:
The rubber grommet on the filter will automatically seat on the piloted stud of the upper housing as
the canister is tightened.
REMINDER:
If reservoir-to-frame mounting bolts were loosened in above step, re-tighten.
Fuel Line Replacement
CAUTION
Fuel lines may still contain fuel. Use caution when disconnecting.
1. Refer to Figure 3. Remove the three bolts holding the fuel filter bracket to the frame. Retain one
bolt for subsequent use.
2. Disconnect "Push Connect" fitting at the high pressure pump outlet nipple by removing hairpin
clip and twisting the line while pulling on it.

ISSUE: Metal fuel lines and connectors have been replaced with nylon lines and connectors on the
subject vehicles. A procedure has been developed for servicing damaged nylon fuel lines.
ACTION: If a nylon fuel line requires service, use the following procedure.
FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE PROCEDURE FOR NYLON FUEL TUBES AND PUSH CONNECT
FITTINGS
FUEL LINES AND HOSES
WARNING: FUEL SUPPLY LINES ON VEHICLES WITH FUEL INJECTED ENGINES WILL
REMAIN PRESSURIZED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME AFTER ENGINE SHUT DOWN WHICH
COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY. THE PRESSURE MUST BE RELIEVED, AS
OUTLINED PER THE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE, BEFORE SERVICING
THE FUEL SYSTEM. READ ALL CAUTIONARY NOTES PRIOR TO RELIEVING THE
PRESSURIZED FUEL SYSTEM.
FUEL TUBES - PLASTIC (NYLON)
CAUTION: FORD APPROVED NYLON FUEL TUBING IS MADE FROM MATERIAL WHICH HAS
BEEN TESTED AND PROVEN TO BE ACCEPTABLE FOR USE WITH COMMERCIALLY
AVAILABLE FUELS. IT IS ALSO RESISTANT TO MOST ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
AVOID USING ALTERNATE TUBING MATERIALS. USE OF NON-APPROVED TUBING COULD
POSE A HAZARD IN SERVICE.
CAUTION: PLASTIC FUEL TUBES MUST NOT BE REPAIRED USING HOSE AND HOSE
CLAMPS. PUSH CONNECT FITTINGS CANNOT BE REPAIRED EXCEPT TO REPLACE THE
RETAINING CLIPS. IF THE PLASTIC TUBES OR PUSH CONNECT FITTINGS BECOME
DAMAGED AND LEAK, APPROVED SERVICE PARTS MUST BE USED TO SERVICE THE FUEL
LINES.
MAJOR SERVICE OPERATIONS - FUEL LINES
Vehicles equipped with nylon fuel tubes and push connect fittings have three (3) types of service
that can be performed to the fuel lines...
^ Replacing nylon tubing (splicing nylon to nylon)
^ Replacing push connector fittings
^ Replacing damaged push connect tube ends.
NOTE: FORMED SECTIONS (BENDS) OF NYLON FUEL LINES CANNOT BE REPAIRED USING
STRAIGHT TUBING. STRAIGHT SERVICE TUBING WILL KINK IF BENT. FORMED NYLON
FUEL LINE IS REOUIRED TO REPLACE THE DAMAGED SECTION.
SPLICING NYLON TO NYLON
1. Relieve the fuel system pressure as outlined in the Service Manual. Read the previously cited
Warning prior to relieving the pressurized fuel system.
2. Cut out the damaged section of tubing (straight non-formed sections only) and retain as a guide.

^ 7.9mm (5/16") - Part Number (N806120-S)
^ 9.5mm (3/8") - Part Number (N806119-S)
Two (2) in-line connectors are required for each splice.
NOTE: TO MAKE INSERTION OF THE BARB CONNECTORS INTO THE NYLON LINE EASIER,
THE TUBE END MAY BE SOAKED IN A CUP OF BOILING WATER FOR ONE (1) MINUTE
BEFORE PUSHING THE BARB CONNECTOR INTO THE NYLON. USE ROTUNDA TOOL
134-000001 OR EQUIVALENT TO ASSIST IN ASSEMBLY.
5. Set up Rotunda Tool 134-000001 for in-line splice as shown in Figure 1.
a. Select the proper inserts for the fuel line size and install into both sets of upper and lower block
cavities.
b. Connect the block cavity to the ratcheting rod of the Rotunda Tool with the slot in line with the
slot in the ratcheting tool barrel
c. Install both sets of upper and lower block cavities to the threaded rods of the ratcheting tool,

d. Install one fuel line into the lower block cavity closest to the ratcheting end of the tool so that the
extension of the fuel line is slightly greater than the barb length of the connector, Figure 2.
e. Route the fuel line through the slot in the tool, Figure 2.
f. Close the upper block cavity onto the lower block cavity and tighten the thumb screw securely.
g. Place the replacement tubing in the forward lower block cavity and repeat Steps d and e.
h. Place the barb connector between the ends of the lines to be spliced and ratchet the tool until
the nylon line has covered all three (3) barbs of the connector on both ends.
i. After completing the splice, unscrew the thumb screws and release the lines. Repeat Steps d
through h on the opposite line end to complete the splice.
6. The completed fuel line splice is shown in Figure 3.
7. Install any remaining clips which were removed for this service. Check to be sure the fuel lines

Recall - Fuel Filter And Fuel Line Replacement > Page 3721
Affected Vehicles:
All 1986-1/2, 1987, 1988 and 1989 Model Year gasoline powered F-Series Pickup Trucks including
Chassis Cabs, and Bronco vehicles with EFI engines sold or operated in Mid-West and Western
Regions and the Yukon Territory. Vehicles involved were produced from February 1, 1986, through
to the end of the 1989 model year.
Reason For Recall:
Field investigation has determined that repairs specified in Recall 88S57 were not completely
effective in preventing the condition of pinhole leaks forming in the U-shaped fuel tube ("Jumper
Tube") connecting the on-frame fuel pump to the fuel filter.
Correction:
To prevent this condition from re-occurring, the U-shaped fuel tube, the frame mounted filter and
the fuel delivery tube from the filter to the engine will be replaced with a steel braided electrically
conductive fuel line from the high pressure frame-mounted fuel pump to the engine. A fuel filter
cartridge will also be installed in the fuel reservoir.

Attachment III - Technical Information
Technical Instructions
The new stainless steel reinforced Teflon(R) fuel line replaces both the short "jumper" fuel line from
the high-pressure frame-mounted fuel pump to the filter and the long fuel line from the filter to the
fuel rail on the engine. The existing In-Line Fuel Filter will be removed and discarded. A
canister-type Fuel Filter will be added to the existing fuel reservoir on the frame rail behind the high
pressure pump.
EFI Engines
CAUTION
Fuel supply lines on 4.9L EFI, 5.0L EFI, 5.8L EFI and 7.5L EFI engines will remain pressurized for
some period of time after the engine is shut off. This pressure must be relieved before servicing of
the fuel system.
Before opening the fuel system on vehicles with EFI engines, relieve fuel pressure as follows:
1. Locate and disconnect the electrical connection to either the fuel pump relay, the inertia switch
or the in-line high pressure fuel pump.
2.
Crank engine for approximately ten seconds.
NOTE:
Engine may start and run for a short time. If so, crank engine an additional five seconds after
engine stalls.
3.
Connect the electrical connector that was disconnected in Step 1.
4.
Disconnect battery ground cable.
5.
Raise vehicle on hoist. Refer to the appropriate model year Volume F Pre-Delivery Shop Manual,
Section 50-04, Hoisting and Jacking.
Canister-Type Fuel Filter Installation
CAUTION
If the fuel filter canister is being serviced with the rear of the truck higher than the front, or if the
tank is pressurized, fuel leakage or siphoning from the tank fuel lines could occur. To prevent this
condition, maintain the vehicle front end at or above the level of the rear of vehicle. Also, relieve
tank pressure by loosening the fuel fill cap. Cap should be retightened after pressure is relieved. If
vehicle is warm, install the fuel filter before the pressure rebuilds.
1. Remove the reservoir shield on 4 x 4 vehicles by removing either three or four screws
(depending on vehicle). On 4 x 4 vehicles it may be necessary to disconnect the rear of the front
driveshaft to allow for tool clearance.
NOTE:
To maintain driveshaft balance, mark the rear slip yoke in relation to the transfer case yoke for
correct positioning during reinstallation. Then remove the nuts and U-bolts (bolts for F350 transfer
case) that connect the front driveshaft to the rear slip yoke of the transfer case.
2.
Unscrew the lower canister of the reservoir using a flexible strap type oil filter wrench, and slide
canister out from frame rail.
NOTE:
Fuel canister will be full of fuel.

7.
While keeping canister level, so as not to dislodge O-ring, position canister to bottom of reservoir
housing and tighten loosely by hand. It may be necessary to loosen reservoir-to-frame mounting
bolts to access the canister. Using a flexible strap type oil filter wrench, complete filter canister
tightening by turning canister about one-sixth of a turn past initial O-ring compression.
NOTE:
The rubber grommet on the filter will automatically seat on the piloted stud of the upper housing as
the canister is tightened.
REMINDER:
If reservoir-to-frame mounting bolts were loosened in above step, re-tighten.
Fuel Line Replacement
CAUTION
Fuel lines may still contain fuel. Use caution when disconnecting.
1. Refer to Figure 3. Remove the three bolts holding the fuel filter bracket to the frame. Retain one
bolt for subsequent use.
2. Disconnect "Push Connect" fitting at the high pressure pump outlet nipple by removing hairpin
clip and twisting the line while pulling on it.

A short fuel tube located beneath the cab of the vehicle, on the driver's side, could develop a pin
hole in the tubing wall. If this condition occurs fuel will leak and a fire could result.
Repair:
At no cost to you, your dealer will replace the fuel filter and the fuel line from the fuel pump to the
engine with a steel braided fuel line and install a fuel filter in the fuel reservoir.
How Long Will It Take?
The time needed to repair your vehicle is less than two hours. However, due to service scheduling
times, your dealer may need your vehicle for one full day.
You Need To:
Call your dealer without delay and ask for a service date. Your dealer has the service and part
ordering information needed to repair your vehicle. If your dealer does not have the parts in stock,
they can be ordered before scheduling your service date. Parts would be expected to arrive within
a week. When you bring your vehicle in, show the dealer this letter. If you lose the letter, your
dealer will still do the work, free of charge.
Have You Purchased Any Fuel Line Service Parts?
Immediately contact your dealer if you have purchased any fuel line assemblies for your vehicle.
Provide the dealer the part numbers of the parts purchased. Your dealer will advise you of what
actions, if any, you should take.

ACTION: If a nylon fuel line requires service, use the following procedure.
FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE PROCEDURE FOR NYLON FUEL TUBES AND PUSH CONNECT
FITTINGS
FUEL LINES AND HOSES
WARNING: FUEL SUPPLY LINES ON VEHICLES WITH FUEL INJECTED ENGINES WILL
REMAIN PRESSURIZED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME AFTER ENGINE SHUT DOWN WHICH
COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY. THE PRESSURE MUST BE RELIEVED, AS
OUTLINED PER THE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE, BEFORE SERVICING
THE FUEL SYSTEM. READ ALL CAUTIONARY NOTES PRIOR TO RELIEVING THE
PRESSURIZED FUEL SYSTEM.
FUEL TUBES - PLASTIC (NYLON)
CAUTION: FORD APPROVED NYLON FUEL TUBING IS MADE FROM MATERIAL WHICH HAS
BEEN TESTED AND PROVEN TO BE ACCEPTABLE FOR USE WITH COMMERCIALLY
AVAILABLE FUELS. IT IS ALSO RESISTANT TO MOST ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
AVOID USING ALTERNATE TUBING MATERIALS. USE OF NON-APPROVED TUBING COULD
POSE A HAZARD IN SERVICE.
CAUTION: PLASTIC FUEL TUBES MUST NOT BE REPAIRED USING HOSE AND HOSE
CLAMPS. PUSH CONNECT FITTINGS CANNOT BE REPAIRED EXCEPT TO REPLACE THE
RETAINING CLIPS. IF THE PLASTIC TUBES OR PUSH CONNECT FITTINGS BECOME
DAMAGED AND LEAK, APPROVED SERVICE PARTS MUST BE USED TO SERVICE THE FUEL
LINES.
MAJOR SERVICE OPERATIONS - FUEL LINES
Vehicles equipped with nylon fuel tubes and push connect fittings have three (3) types of service
that can be performed to the fuel lines...
^ Replacing nylon tubing (splicing nylon to nylon)
^ Replacing push connector fittings
^ Replacing damaged push connect tube ends.
NOTE: FORMED SECTIONS (BENDS) OF NYLON FUEL LINES CANNOT BE REPAIRED USING
STRAIGHT TUBING. STRAIGHT SERVICE TUBING WILL KINK IF BENT. FORMED NYLON
FUEL LINE IS REOUIRED TO REPLACE THE DAMAGED SECTION.
SPLICING NYLON TO NYLON
1. Relieve the fuel system pressure as outlined in the Service Manual. Read the previously cited
Warning prior to relieving the pressurized fuel system.

Fuel Gauge Sender: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION FUEL LEVEL INDICATING SYSTEM
The fuel indicating system is a bimetal-resistance type system. It consists of an instrument voltage
regulator, fuel indicator (gauge) mounted in the instrument cluster and a sender located in the fuel
tank,
INSTRUMENT VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The instrument voltage regulator (IVR) used with the fuel indicator (gauge) controls and maintains
an average pulsating voltage of 5.0 volts at the gauge terminals.
FUEL INDICATOR (GAUGE)
The fuel indicator gauge pointer is attached to a wire wound bimetal strip which when heated by
the flow of electrical current controlled by the sender unit, produoes the appropriate indication.
Fuel Indicating System Using A Bimetal Gauge - Typical
FUEL SENDER
The fuel sender consists of a variable screened resistor made up of a ceramic substrate. It is
controlled by the action of an attached float in the fuel tank. When the fuel level is low, resistance in
the sender is high and allows only a low current to flow through the indicator (gauge) windings,
causing the pointer to move a short distance. When the fuel level is high, the resistance in the
sender is low and allows a higher current flow and a greater heating effect causing the pointer to
move a greater distance.

Fuel Gauge Sender: Testing and Inspection
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE NIPPLE ON THE END OF THE FUEL RETURN LINE. IT IS
THERE TO PREVENT FUEL FROM DRAINING OUT OF THE TANK IN THE EVENT OF A
ROLLOVER.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with diesel engines and dual fuel tanks, refer to the diagnosis guide
in this Section before proceeding with the calibration testing.
CAUTION: DO NOT INTERCHANGE SENDING UNITS BETWEEN GASOLINE-AND
DIESEL-POWERED VEHICLES. DOING SO MAY CAUSE SEVERE ENGINE AND FUEL
SYSTEM DAMAGE.
CALIBRATION TEST (USING ROTUNDA TESTER MODEL 021-00034)
Fuel Indicating System Test With Rotunda Tester Model 21-0015 Or Equivalent
The Rotunda Instrument Gauge System Tester Model 021-00034 or equivalent is used to diagnose
problems in all fuel indicating systems using the bimetal fuel indicator gauge and instrument
voltage regulator (IVR).
Prior to performing fuel system test the following tester checks should be made.
1. Set tester switch at IVR CHECK position.
2. Attach tester ground wire to the negative (-) terminal of 12-volt battery and touch one of the
tester terminals marked with an arrow to the
positive (+) battery terminal.
3. If the IVR check lamp does not come on, return tester for service or replacement.
TEST SET-UP

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Tank > Fuel Gauge Sender >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 3797
CAUTION: DURING IN-VEHICLE TESTS, Do NOT LET TESTER TERMINAL STUDS
DESIGNATED BY ARROWS COME IN CONTACT WITH VEHICLE GROUND. THE FUEL
GAUGE WILL BE SHORTED TO GROUND, PREVENTING AN ACCURATE TEST AND
POSSIBLY DAMAGING THE IVR OR GAUGE.
1. Disconnect connector from fuel sender and hook onto the matching terminals on the tester (Fig.
4).
2. Turn vehicle ignition switch to ACC position.
FUNCTIONAL TEST
NOTE: The IVR also supplies a common regulated voltage for the temperature gauge indicating
system and oil gauge indicating system (when applicable); therefore, the IVR can only be damaged
if the other gauges exhibit similar problems (fluctuating movement or high or low indications at the
upper calibration band). The IVR has little effect on the lower calibration band of the indicator.
1. Set test switch to IVR check position.
2. If IVR check lamp flashes on and off, the IVR and wiring are functional. Proceed to calibration
check.
3. If IVR check lamp is on steady, check IVR ground screw. If ground screw is secure, replace IVR
4. If IVR check lamp does not come on, check for open circuit in gauge and/or circuit wiring.
CALIBRATION CHECK
With the tester switch in either the HIGH or LOW position, the center line of the gauge pointer
should be within the "F" or "E" white band of the graphics for the fuel test function as shown on the
tester. If the center line of the pointer registers in the white bands, the fuel indicating system is
operating properly and replacement of the fuel sender is necessary. If the pointer center line falls
outside the "E" white band, replace the fuel gauge. If the pointer center line falls outside the "F"
white band, replace the IVR and retest. If still outside the upper white band, replace the fuel gauge
reinstall the original IVR and retest for calibration.
CALIBRATION TEST (WITHOUT TESTER)
If only the fuel gauge is inoperative or appears to be out of calibration, a calibration test can be
conducted on the vehicle fuel gauge system. The calibration test checks the fuel gauge and IVR
simultaneously.
The required test equipment consists of a 10 ohm resistor and a 73 ohm resistor.
Disconnect the wiring connector at the sender unit. Connect one of the resistors between the lead
wire terminal and ground, and turn the ignition switch to the ON or ACC position With the 10 ohm
resistor, the gauge should indicate a full-scale reading. With the 73 ohm resistor, the gauge should
read at the E graduation mark. Without any resistor (open circuit) the gauge reading should be the
same as with the ignition switch in the OFF position. If reading is OK, replace wire connection to
sender.
If the gauge pointer does not move and stays below the E mark, check for an open circuit in the
wiring assembly, the gauge windings, or the instrument cluster printed circuit. If the gauge pointer
moves without any resistor connected, check for a short circuit in the lead to the sender unit. If the
gauge reads out of calibration, replace IVR and retest. If still out of calibration, replace the gauge.
GAUGE BENCH TEST FOR OPEN WINDINGS
To test the gauge for open windings, remove the gauge from the vehicle. Connect the gauge to an
ohmmeter and read the resistance. An upward movement of the needle from 10 to 14 ohms is
normal, because the current increases the temperature of the gauge coil (windings). If the
ohmmeter reads below 10 ohms or above 14 ohms, replace the gauge.
FUEL TANK DAMAGE
If fuel indicating system components are functioning properly and inaccurate indications continue,
check the fuel tank for damage which may have changed the fuel sender mounting angle and/or
damaged the fuel sender.

ISSUE: A rough idle created when the air by-pass valve is replaced may be caused by a revision
made to the valve's wiring harness.
Vehicles built before the 1989 model year had a diode in the air by-pass valve wiring harness. The
new replacement valves have a 3D marking on the plastic portion of the solenoid, above the
connector cap, Figure 1. They have a diode in the air by-pass valve.
On the air by-pass valves used on vehicles built before the 1989 model year, the positive and
negative leads are not important to the operation of the valve. However, the polarity on the new
replacement air by-pass valve is important because if the wiring harness is reversed the air
by-pass valve will not work.
ACTION: Reverse the wires in the air by-pass valve connector and retest the valve. Refer to the
following EFI Engine Application Chart for engines using these air by-pass valves.

ISSUE: Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be
caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the
throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the following
conditions.
^ Hard Cold Start
^ Stall On Initial Start-Up
^ Stall During Idle
^ Stall During Decel
^ Rough Idle
^ Rolling Idle
^ Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION: A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to
correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to
clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge
tolerant throttle body designs released for 1991 and newer model years.

ISSUE: A rough idle created when the air by-pass valve is replaced may be caused by a revision
made to the valve's wiring harness.
Vehicles built before the 1989 model year had a diode in the air by-pass valve wiring harness. The
new replacement valves have a 3D marking on the plastic portion of the solenoid, above the
connector cap, Figure 1. They have a diode in the air by-pass valve.
On the air by-pass valves used on vehicles built before the 1989 model year, the positive and
negative leads are not important to the operation of the valve. However, the polarity on the new
replacement air by-pass valve is important because if the wiring harness is reversed the air
by-pass valve will not work.
ACTION: Reverse the wires in the air by-pass valve connector and retest the valve. Refer to the
following EFI Engine Application Chart for engines using these air by-pass valves.

Idle/Altitude Compensator (Non Comp. Controlled): Description and Operation Hot Idle
Compensator
The hot idle compensator is used to cool the engine during extreme hot engine idle operation.
When open, the compensator bleeds air into the manifold, which leans out the fuel-air ratio at idle.
The increased air intake causes an increase in engine idle speed, which results in cooling of the
engine.

Idle/Altitude Compensator (Non Comp. Controlled): Testing and Inspection Hot Idle Compensator
The compensator may be internal or external to the carburetor.
Temperature on the bimetal lifts the normally closed valve and opens the air passage.
Valves open at a higher temperature and close at a lower temperature. This opening and closing
range is from -12 to -7°C (10-20°F). Nominal closing temperatures vary from 26-60°C (79-140°F).
A compensator with a valve that is not fully closing can cause high idle speed and a high emission

Fuel Pump Inertia Switch: Description and Operation
The inertia Switch, is used in conjunction with an electric fuel pump. The purpose of the inertia
switch is to shut off the fuel pump in the event of an accident. It consists of a steel ball held in place
by a magnet. When a sharp impact occurs, the ball breaks loose from the magnet, rolls up a
conical ramp and strikes a target plate which opens the electrical contacts of the switch and
thereby shuts off the electric fuel pump. Once the switch is open, it must be manually reset before
re-starting the vehicle. The location of the switch is discussed in the owners guide.

Main Relay (Computer/Fuel System): Description and Operation
There are two types of relays: the power relay and the time delay power relay. The time delay relay
has a delay of 5 to 10 seconds and is used with an actuator assembly throttle control. Both relay
types consist of a movable contact in the normally open position. All power relays (except time
delay) have the same design with a different bracket attachment.
Function
EEC power relays are in parallel with the ignition switch and provide power to the EEC module.
Power relays also provide reverse battery protection and increased load handling to improve
ignition switch reliability.

Fuel Pump Inertia Switch: Description and Operation
The inertia Switch, is used in conjunction with an electric fuel pump. The purpose of the inertia
switch is to shut off the fuel pump in the event of an accident. It consists of a steel ball held in place
by a magnet. When a sharp impact occurs, the ball breaks loose from the magnet, rolls up a
conical ramp and strikes a target plate which opens the electrical contacts of the switch and
thereby shuts off the electric fuel pump. Once the switch is open, it must be manually reset before
re-starting the vehicle. The location of the switch is discussed in the owners guide.

Fuel Pump Inertia Switch: Testing and Inspection
Push down on the reset button to make sure the switch is closed.
Use DVOM with LOS button On and measure voltage across both terminals of the inertia switch. If
DVOM reading is greater than 0.3V, replace the inertia switch.
NOTE: In the closed position, the button can be depressed an additional 1/16-inch against a spring.
This is a normal condition and does not adversely effect the switch operation.

Throttle Full Open Switch HVAC: Description and Operation
A switch assembly, Figure 1 is mounted on the carburetor on some gasoline engines and on the
fuel injector pump on the 2.0L Diesel engine to sense a wide open throttle condition. When
maximum engine power is required, this switch assembly cuts off the air conditioning compressor
to reduce engine loading.
Switch closed at throttle opening less than wide open throttle. Switch open at wide open throttle
condition.

CALIBRATION: All with EEC IV
WARNING: This modification is authorized only for the listed engines. Performing this modification
on other engine calibrations is unauthorized and could create liability under applicable federal or
local laws.
A new design Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) has been released for all 1986 EEC IV applications.
The new TPS is designed to eliminate a false Self-Test Code 53. A Code 53 indicates the TPS
system has failed at the wide open throttle position (approximately 5.0 volts), The new TPS
eliminates false Code 53 by limiting the wide open throttle voltage to 4.75 volts. With the new TPS,
Code 53 will only result from a circuit or TPS malfunction.
The new Throttle Position Sensors can be used to replace faulty sensors on 1985 vehicles. If the
old design service part is used, a false Code 53 may result.

ISSUE: All Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) mounting screws have a "Pozidrive" head. The
"Pozidrive" head looks a lot like a Phillips screw head. Use of a Phillips head screwdriver to remove
a "Pozidrive" screw will normally result in a rounded or damaged screw head. Many technicians
think it is an overtorqued or "frozen" screw. An adhesive was also used as a thread sealant starting
with the 1988 model year. This adhesive requires still more effort to loosen and remove the screw.
ACTION: To prevent rounded or damages screw heads when servicing the TPS mounting screws,
technicians should always use a # 2 "Pozidrive" screwdriver.

Throttle Full Open Switch HVAC: Description and Operation
A switch assembly, Figure 1 is mounted on the carburetor on some gasoline engines and on the
fuel injector pump on the 2.0L Diesel engine to sense a wide open throttle condition. When
maximum engine power is required, this switch assembly cuts off the air conditioning compressor
to reduce engine loading.
Switch closed at throttle opening less than wide open throttle. Switch open at wide open throttle
condition.

CALIBRATION: All with EEC IV
WARNING: This modification is authorized only for the listed engines. Performing this modification
on other engine calibrations is unauthorized and could create liability under applicable federal or
local laws.
A new design Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) has been released for all 1986 EEC IV applications.
The new TPS is designed to eliminate a false Self-Test Code 53. A Code 53 indicates the TPS
system has failed at the wide open throttle position (approximately 5.0 volts), The new TPS
eliminates false Code 53 by limiting the wide open throttle voltage to 4.75 volts. With the new TPS,
Code 53 will only result from a circuit or TPS malfunction.
The new Throttle Position Sensors can be used to replace faulty sensors on 1985 vehicles. If the
old design service part is used, a false Code 53 may result.

ISSUE: All Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) mounting screws have a "Pozidrive" head. The
"Pozidrive" head looks a lot like a Phillips screw head. Use of a Phillips head screwdriver to remove
a "Pozidrive" screw will normally result in a rounded or damaged screw head. Many technicians
think it is an overtorqued or "frozen" screw. An adhesive was also used as a thread sealant starting
with the 1988 model year. This adhesive requires still more effort to loosen and remove the screw.
ACTION: To prevent rounded or damages screw heads when servicing the TPS mounting screws,
technicians should always use a # 2 "Pozidrive" screwdriver.

Ignition Resistor: Description and Operation
The ballast resistor, (wire type), maintains a specific resistance between the positive (Batt.)
terminal of the ignition coil connector and the wiring harness connector. It is not in operation during
engine cranking enabling the coil to receive a hotter signal for starting. Once the engine is running,
the resistor is used to protect the coil from voltage overload.

Distributor Advance Unit: Description and Operation Vacuum Spark Advance Mechanism
The vacuum spark control mechanism can provide spark advance if a single diaphragm assembly
is used or spark advance and retard if a dual diaphragm assembly is used. The diaphragm
assembly used depends on the engine calibration.
Single Diaphragm Assembly
SINGLE DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY The single diaphragm assembly, Fig. 11, also changes the
armature to stator relationship to give spark advance. The stator assembly position is changed by
means of vacuum being applied to the diaphragm assembly. Vacuum applied to the diaphragm
assembly causes the diaphragm and attached diaphragm rod to move, compressing the advance
spring, which controls the rate of advance. The movement of the diaphragm rod, which is attached
to the stator assembly, makes the the stator assembly move with respect to the armature. This
changes the initial armature to stator relationship set during initial timing, causing spark advance.
The stator assembly is mounted on the lower plate assembly which with the diaphragm assembly,
is attached to the distributor base.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Distributor, Ignition > Distributor Advance Unit >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Vacuum Spark Advance Mechanism > Page 4088
Dual Diaphragm Assembly
DUAL DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY The dual diaphragm assembly, Fig. 12, obtains spark advance in
the same manner as the single diaphragm assembly. In this case vacuum applied to the vacuum
advance port causes the advance diaphragm and attached rod to move, otherwise the action is the
same. Spark retard is done by applying vacuum to the vacuum retard port. This causes the retard
diaphragm to move, compressing the retard spring, which controls the rate of spark retard.
Compressing the retard spring allows the diaphragm rod stop to move due to the force applied by
the advance spring pushing against it by means of the diaphragm rod. The result is the diaphragm
rod moves causing the attached stator assembly to change position with respect to the armature. In
this instance the direction of the stator assembly movement is opposite that occurring during
vacuum advance, resulting in spark retard. NOTE: Any vacuum applied to the advance port
overrides any spark retard caused by vacuum being applied to the retard port.

Distributor Advance Unit: Description and Operation Centrifugal Spark Advance Mechanism
Distributor - Exploded view
The centrifugal advance mechanism varies the relationship of the armature to the stator assembly.
The armature is mounted to the sleeve and plate assembly which rotates in relation to the
distributor shaft. The rotation is a result of the centrifugal weights moving in response to engine
RPM. The movement of the weights change the initial relationship of the armature to the stator
assembly by rotating the sleeve and plate assembly ahead of its static position on the distributor
shaft Fig. 1. This produces spark advance. The rate of movement of the weights is controlled by
calibrated springs.

F47
ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine - Lack of Power/No Start Diagnosis > Page 4095
NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

1986 vehicles are equipped with a new "blade" design distributor rotor. This design replaces the
multi-point rotor used in recent model years. This new rotor requires the use of silicone grease on
the blade. Electrical interference can result from a blade rotor that does not have silicone grease.
The electrical interference affects the distributor stator assembly and can cause engine "missing",
"bucking", or "surging". These drive concerns are usually intermittent and tend to occur during
crank and heavy or wide-open throttle.
It is important to remember not to remove the silicone grease for radio noise concerns, on 1986
vehicles with EEC IV; removing the grease can cause driveability concerns. A future TSB article
will address the radio noise issue.

Hall Effect Sensor: Description and Operation
Profile Ignition Pickup
The PIP signal is created in the Hall Effect and Stator assembly and indicates crankshaft position
and engine RPM Fig. 21. The PIP signal is fed to both the TFI module and the ECA.
PIP Sensor
COMPONENTS The Hall Effect device is made up of a voltage regulator, a Hall voltage generator,
Darlington amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and an open collector output stage integrated in a single
monolithic silicon chip Fig. 22. A signal is produced when a ferrous material is passed through the
opening and the flux lines decrease. The Hall generator (Hall device) sends a sine wave signal to
the Darlington amplifier. The Darlington amplifier inverts the signal. When the signal is low the
output is high. When the signal is high the output is low. This output then goes to the Schmitt
trigger. The Schmitt trigger shapes the signal into a square wave (digital high) signal.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Hall Effect Sensor, Ignition > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Page 4129
PIP Signal Operation
OPERATION The output signal to the Darlington amplifier is high when the window (on the
armature) allows the magnetic field to reach the Hall device (switch off) Fig. 23. When the TAB
shunts the magnetic field (closes) away from the Hall device the signal is low to the Darlington
amplifier (switch on).
Hall Effect Sensor
In other words when one of the windows or openings is in the gap between the Hall device and the
permanent magnet, the field stays strong and the voltage is high since the magnetic path is
complete from the magnet, through the Hall device, and back to the magnet. In this case the switch
is off and the Hall Effect does not send a signal. When the TAB enters the gap, the armature cuts
off the magnetic path to the Hall device and its voltage drops. In this case the switch is on and the
Hall Effect device sends a signal. The signal is switched On and Off as long as the armature is
rotating (distributor is turning) and opening and closing the magnetic path. This is the signal used
by the ECA to interpret crankshaft position and engine RPM. The signal can also be used by the
TFI module if the SPOUT signal from the ECA is lost.

Signature PIP
SIGNATURE PIP Some Electronic Engine Control (EEC) vehicles are equipped with a signature
profile ignition pickup signal. The regular type armature used for the PIP signal has the same size
tabs and windows. In a signature PIP signal armature, one of the tabs is narrower than the others
Fig. 25. The narrower tab provides a different signal to the ECA when it passes through the Hall
Effect switch. When the ECA sees the narrow tab it knows when to properly pulse the fuel injectors.
This system is used on cars and trucks where the ECA needs to know when to pulse certain
injectors. For example, on sequential electronic fuel injection (SEFI) systems, each injector is
pulsed to coincide with its intake valve opening. With the signature PIP, the ECA knows when the
No. 1 cylinder needs to be supplied with fuel.

ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Ignition Cable > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Engine - Lack of Power/No Start Diagnosis > Page 4136
NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

This article is being reprinted to include 1986 vehicle applications.
Stumbles, stals, poor performance, ignition noise in the radio, erratic electronic clock performance
or erratic service codes during vehicle Quick Test can be caused by high voltage arc in the E-core
ignition coil.
Figure 8
The arc is a result of an open or high resistance in the coil secondary winding. The arc generates
high fre quency noise in the vehicle electrical system. This noise can disrupt the EEC syste and
invalid service codes such as 22,10,20,30, or 40 BCT. This condition can be checked as follows:
1. Place the ignition switch in the OFF position.
2. Disconnect the E-core ignition coil primary and secondary leads.
3. Using Rotunda digital volt-ohmmeter 007-00001, measure the resistance between the primary
(+) terminal and the high voltage secondary terminal. (Figure 8).
4. If the resistance is greater than 14,000 ohms, replace the coil.
5. Reconnect the high voltage secondary lead and confirm that the protective boot is fully seated.
6. Reconnect the coil primary lead.
7. Verify that the reported condition has been cor rected.

This article is being reprinted to include 1986 vehicle applications.
Stumbles, stals, poor performance, ignition noise in the radio, erratic electronic clock performance
or erratic service codes during vehicle Quick Test can be caused by high voltage arc in the E-core
ignition coil.
Figure 8
The arc is a result of an open or high resistance in the coil secondary winding. The arc generates
high fre quency noise in the vehicle electrical system. This noise can disrupt the EEC syste and
invalid service codes such as 22,10,20,30, or 40 BCT. This condition can be checked as follows:
1. Place the ignition switch in the OFF position.
2. Disconnect the E-core ignition coil primary and secondary leads.
3. Using Rotunda digital volt-ohmmeter 007-00001, measure the resistance between the primary
(+) terminal and the high voltage secondary terminal. (Figure 8).
4. If the resistance is greater than 14,000 ohms, replace the coil.
5. Reconnect the high voltage secondary lead and confirm that the protective boot is fully seated.
6. Reconnect the coil primary lead.
7. Verify that the reported condition has been cor rected.

CALIBRATIONS: All with TFI Systems
If the TFI module fails and causes a short to ground, the primary winding of the ignition coil can be
damaged. The TFI diagnostic procedure published in the Shop Manual will not identify this
condition.
When servicing a weak or no spark condition, perform the following:
1. Check for spark using the procedures found in the Manual Information, Computerized Engine,
Quick Test Section, Test 1.
2. If there is no spark, test the coil primary resistance using Rotunda digital volt-ohmmeter
007-00001, as shown.
3. If the coil primary resistance is O.K., continue with the diagnostic procedure in Test 1.
4. If the coil primary resistance is not O.K., replace the coil and recheck for weak or no spark. If the
spark is now O.K., the problem is resolved.
5. If the spark is still NOT O.K., continue with normal diagnostic procedure in Test 1.

If your voltmeter has a high impedance, it will not draw enough current to show a voltage drop
when testing TFI power circuits for resistive connections. To assure an accurate test, attach a test
light between the circuit being tested and ground as shown. The light will draw current through the
connection and allow measurement of the voltage drop so a resistive connection can be identified.
IMPORTANT Do not use a test light while monitoring the PIP or SPOUT signal. The test light draws
more current than the signal circuit can supply. The test light should be used only on power circuits.

CALIBRATIONS: All with TFI Systems
If the TFI module fails and causes a short to ground, the primary winding of the ignition coil can be
damaged. The TFI diagnostic procedure published in the Shop Manual will not identify this
condition.
When servicing a weak or no spark condition, perform the following:
1. Check for spark using the procedures found in the Manual Information, Computerized Engine,
Quick Test Section, Test 1.
2. If there is no spark, test the coil primary resistance using Rotunda digital volt-ohmmeter
007-00001, as shown.
3. If the coil primary resistance is O.K., continue with the diagnostic procedure in Test 1.
4. If the coil primary resistance is not O.K., replace the coil and recheck for weak or no spark. If the
spark is now O.K., the problem is resolved.
5. If the spark is still NOT O.K., continue with normal diagnostic procedure in Test 1.

Ignition Control Module: Description and Operation
Typical Ignition System
The Ignition Module shuts off the primary circuit each time it receives a pulse from the magnetic
pick-up Fig. 9. A timing circuit in the ignition module turns the primary current back on after a short
period of time. High voltage is created each time the magnetic field is built up and collapsed. The
red ignition module wire provides operating voltage for the module's electronic components in the
Run mode. The white module wire and start bypass provide increased voltage for the module and
coil during Start mode.
Ignition Modules
Dura Spark II systems with UIM (Universal Ignition Module) Fig. 10 can respond to another control
signal from either an Ignition Barometric Pressure Switch, Ignition Timing Vacuum Switch, or the
Microprocessor Control Unit (MCU), depending on the engine calibration. Responding to this
second signal, the UIM provides additional spark timing control for certain operating conditions by
shutting off the ignition coil current flow at a different time than with just the distributor pick-up
signal.

Description and Operation
Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
The Knock Sensor, is a piezoelectric accelerometer with the sensor designed to resonate at
approximately the same frequency as the engine knock frequency. The sensor uses the resonant
frequency to mechanically amplify the vibrations. This method allows relatively large signals to be
achieved without electrical amplification and with small package size.
The sensor has a thin circular piezoelectric ceramic disk which is bonded to a metal diaphragm.
Electrical connections are made through a two pin integral connector.

CALIBRATIONS: All with TFI Systems
If the TFI module fails and causes a short to ground, the primary winding of the ignition coil can be
damaged. The TFI diagnostic procedure published in the Shop Manual will not identify this
condition.
When servicing a weak or no spark condition, perform the following:
1. Check for spark using the procedures found in the Manual Information, Computerized Engine,
Quick Test Section, Test 1.
2. If there is no spark, test the coil primary resistance using Rotunda digital volt-ohmmeter
007-00001, as shown.
3. If the coil primary resistance is O.K., continue with the diagnostic procedure in Test 1.
4. If the coil primary resistance is not O.K., replace the coil and recheck for weak or no spark. If the
spark is now O.K., the problem is resolved.
5. If the spark is still NOT O.K., continue with normal diagnostic procedure in Test 1.

If your voltmeter has a high impedance, it will not draw enough current to show a voltage drop
when testing TFI power circuits for resistive connections. To assure an accurate test, attach a test
light between the circuit being tested and ground as shown. The light will draw current through the
connection and allow measurement of the voltage drop so a resistive connection can be identified.
IMPORTANT Do not use a test light while monitoring the PIP or SPOUT signal. The test light draws
more current than the signal circuit can supply. The test light should be used only on power circuits.

CALIBRATIONS: All with TFI Systems
If the TFI module fails and causes a short to ground, the primary winding of the ignition coil can be
damaged. The TFI diagnostic procedure published in the Shop Manual will not identify this
condition.
When servicing a weak or no spark condition, perform the following:
1. Check for spark using the procedures found in the Manual Information, Computerized Engine,
Quick Test Section, Test 1.
2. If there is no spark, test the coil primary resistance using Rotunda digital volt-ohmmeter
007-00001, as shown.
3. If the coil primary resistance is O.K., continue with the diagnostic procedure in Test 1.
4. If the coil primary resistance is not O.K., replace the coil and recheck for weak or no spark. If the
spark is now O.K., the problem is resolved.
5. If the spark is still NOT O.K., continue with normal diagnostic procedure in Test 1.

Ignition Control Module: Description and Operation
Typical Ignition System
The Ignition Module shuts off the primary circuit each time it receives a pulse from the magnetic
pick-up Fig. 9. A timing circuit in the ignition module turns the primary current back on after a short
period of time. High voltage is created each time the magnetic field is built up and collapsed. The
red ignition module wire provides operating voltage for the module's electronic components in the
Run mode. The white module wire and start bypass provide increased voltage for the module and
coil during Start mode.
Ignition Modules
Dura Spark II systems with UIM (Universal Ignition Module) Fig. 10 can respond to another control
signal from either an Ignition Barometric Pressure Switch, Ignition Timing Vacuum Switch, or the
Microprocessor Control Unit (MCU), depending on the engine calibration. Responding to this
second signal, the UIM provides additional spark timing control for certain operating conditions by
shutting off the ignition coil current flow at a different time than with just the distributor pick-up
signal.

Hall Effect Sensor: Description and Operation
Profile Ignition Pickup
The PIP signal is created in the Hall Effect and Stator assembly and indicates crankshaft position
and engine RPM Fig. 21. The PIP signal is fed to both the TFI module and the ECA.
PIP Sensor
COMPONENTS The Hall Effect device is made up of a voltage regulator, a Hall voltage generator,
Darlington amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and an open collector output stage integrated in a single
monolithic silicon chip Fig. 22. A signal is produced when a ferrous material is passed through the
opening and the flux lines decrease. The Hall generator (Hall device) sends a sine wave signal to
the Darlington amplifier. The Darlington amplifier inverts the signal. When the signal is low the
output is high. When the signal is high the output is low. This output then goes to the Schmitt
trigger. The Schmitt trigger shapes the signal into a square wave (digital high) signal.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Sensors and Switches - Ignition System > Hall
Effect Sensor, Ignition > Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 4444
PIP Signal Operation
OPERATION The output signal to the Darlington amplifier is high when the window (on the
armature) allows the magnetic field to reach the Hall device (switch off) Fig. 23. When the TAB
shunts the magnetic field (closes) away from the Hall device the signal is low to the Darlington
amplifier (switch on).
Hall Effect Sensor
In other words when one of the windows or openings is in the gap between the Hall device and the
permanent magnet, the field stays strong and the voltage is high since the magnetic path is
complete from the magnet, through the Hall device, and back to the magnet. In this case the switch
is off and the Hall Effect does not send a signal. When the TAB enters the gap, the armature cuts
off the magnetic path to the Hall device and its voltage drops. In this case the switch is on and the
Hall Effect device sends a signal. The signal is switched On and Off as long as the armature is
rotating (distributor is turning) and opening and closing the magnetic path. This is the signal used
by the ECA to interpret crankshaft position and engine RPM. The signal can also be used by the
TFI module if the SPOUT signal from the ECA is lost.

Signature PIP
SIGNATURE PIP Some Electronic Engine Control (EEC) vehicles are equipped with a signature
profile ignition pickup signal. The regular type armature used for the PIP signal has the same size
tabs and windows. In a signature PIP signal armature, one of the tabs is narrower than the others
Fig. 25. The narrower tab provides a different signal to the ECA when it passes through the Hall
Effect switch. When the ECA sees the narrow tab it knows when to properly pulse the fuel injectors.
This system is used on cars and trucks where the ECA needs to know when to pulse certain
injectors. For example, on sequential electronic fuel injection (SEFI) systems, each injector is
pulsed to coincide with its intake valve opening. With the signature PIP, the ECA knows when the
No. 1 cylinder needs to be supplied with fuel.

Sensor > Component Information > Description and Operation
Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
The Knock Sensor, is a piezoelectric accelerometer with the sensor designed to resonate at
approximately the same frequency as the engine knock frequency. The sensor uses the resonant
frequency to mechanically amplify the vibrations. This method allows relatively large signals to be
achieved without electrical amplification and with small package size.
The sensor has a thin circular piezoelectric ceramic disk which is bonded to a metal diaphragm.
Electrical connections are made through a two pin integral connector.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1986-91 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES 1988-91 F SUPER DUTY,
F47
ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.
Ford F 150 2wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-351 5.8L (1986))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Spark Plug > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Engine - Lack of Power/No Start Diagnosis > Page 4471
NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

ISSUE: The 1989 model year "AOD" transmission case threads are different from prior model year
cases. Prior model year transmission cases use a 5/16"-18 thread. 1989 model year transmission
cases use a M10-1.5 thread. The larger M10-1.5 bolts will not pass through the prior model year
converter plate, transmission brace or engine cover plate.
FIGURE 1
ACTION: If a transmission case replacement is required on a past model vehicle, the bolt holes for
the car's transmission brace and converter cover plate will need to be enlarged with a 1/2" drill. On
light trucks, enlarge the converter cover plate and engine cover plate with a 1/2" drill. Refer to
Figure 1 for the bolt hole locations.

Diagnostic Procedure
Prior to torque converter replacement, all diagnostic procedures must be followed. This is to
prevent the unnecessary replacement of good torque converters. Only after a complete diagnostic
evaluation can the decision be made to replace the torque converter.
The normal diagnostic procedure is as follows:
1. Preliminary inspection.
2. Know and understand the customers concern.
3. Verify the concern:
- Perform the Torque Converter Clutch Operation Test
4. Perform diagnostic procedures:
a. Run On-Board Diagnostics
- Repair all non-transmission-related Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTCs) first.
- Repair all transmission DTCs.
- Rerun On-Board Diagnostic to verify repair.
b. Perform Line Pressure Test
c. Perform Stall Speed Test
d. Diagnosis by Symptom Routines - Use the index to locate the appropriate routine that best
describes the symptom(s). The routine will list all possible components that may cause or
contribute to the symptom. Check each component listed, diagnose and service as required, before
servicing the torque converter.
Replacement
The torque converter must be replaced if one or more of the following statements are true:
^ A torque converter malfunction has been determined based on completed diagnostic procedures
^ A converter stud(s), impeller hub or bushing is damaged
^ If there is discoloration of the torque converter (due to overheating)
^ The torque converter is found to be out of specification when performing the following checks (as
applicable):
1. Torque Converter One-way Clutch Check
2. End Play Check
3. Stator-to-Turbine Interference Check
4. Converter Leakage Check
5. Stator-to-Impeller Interference Check
^ If there is evidence of transmission assembly or fluid contamination due to the following failure
modes:
Torque converter Replacement Policy Failure Modes Major metallic failure
Multiple clutches or clutch plate failures
Sufficient component wear which results in metallic contamination

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Clutch, M/T > Clutch Disc, M/T > Component Information >
Description and Operation
Clutch Disc: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The purpose of the clutch is to connect and disconnect a manually operated transmission and the
remainder of the power-transmission system from the engine. This permits starting and stopping
the vehicle, shifting and changing speeds that correspond to the engine speed through gear
reductions for both forward and reverse directions.
The clutch consists of a driven plate (clutch disc) splined for the input shaft of the transmission and
the clutch housing (pressure plate).
This forms a continuous system by which rotation of the engine is connected to the transmission by
solid member when engaged (clutch assembly). For power at the output shaft of the transmission
or rear wheel rotation (forward or reverse), the driven plate is a metal disc, faced on both sides with
woven friction materials. The pressure plate is a metal member bolted on the flywheel which
houses the driven plate held in position by the transmission input shaft. A clutch sleeve mounted
over the input shaft of the transmission carries a release bearing that is pressed against the fingers
of the clutch that pushes it away from the driven plate causing disengagement-breaking the
connection between the engine (flywheel) and the clutch. Reverse action or the release of the
bearing engages the clutch. The release lever is actuated by a hydraulic system. Other internal
clutch parts are a pilot bearing mounted in the crankshaft which supports the end of the input shaft.
Bearings are designed for long life and require no lubrication.

M/T - Clutch Fluid Leaks/Incomplete Release
Article No. 90-16-7
^ CRACKS - DASH (ENGINE COMPARTMENT BULKHEAD) - CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER
AREA - VEHICLES BUILT BEFORE 6/15/90
^ CLUTCH - HIGH EFFORT - DASH CRACKED IN CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER AREA VEHICLES BUILT BEFORE 6/15/90
LIGHT TRUCK: 1984-90 BRONCO, F-150, F-250, F-350 1988-90 F SUPER DUTY
ISSUE: Incomplete clutch release and/or hydraulic fluid leaking into the cab from the clutch master
cylinder may be caused by the reinforcement plate on the clutch master cylinder separating from
the dash panel. The separation of the reinforcement plate reduces the clutch master cylinder
pushrod travel. Reinforcement plate separation can also cause deflection of the clutch master
cylinder that results in a misalignment of the pushrod to the clutch master cylinder. Misalignment
causes the "O" ring in front of the secondary seal to leak hydraulic fluid.
ACTION: Inspect the truck and, if necessary, use the following service procedure to install a
reinforcement kit.
Inspection Procedure
1. If the truck is a 1988 or later model, confirm that the starter interlock switch operates (the engine
can be started) with the clutch pedal at least 0.5" (12.7 mm) from the floor.
2. Test drive the truck and check for good clutch release. There should be no grinding of the gears,
particularly when shifting from neutral to reverse gear.
3. If the truck passes these tests, go to the Small Reinforcement Installation Procedure Section of
this article.
4. If either of the above conditions are not met, check the hydraulic system for air. Refer to the
Suggested Bleeding Procedure at the end of this article.
5. Test drive the truck and check for improved clutch release.
6. If there is no improvement, proceed as follows:
a. Remove the clutch master cylinder pushrod from the release lever pin on the release lever.

b. Make sure the hole in the pushrod lines up with the pin, for those units requiring a minimal force
for installation, Figure 1.
c. If it does not line up correctly, install an adjustable pushrod (except 1988 and later models) or
replace the clutch release lever (required on 1988 and later models), cutting a new seat on the
cross shaft splines.
7. Test drive the truck again, checking for improved clutch release.

8. If there is no improvement, inspect the truck for adequate release bearing travel.
^ It should be 11 mm or greater for full pedal travel.
^ Pedal travel at the center of the pedal pad should be 6.75" (171 mm minimum) or more, Figure 2.
9. Release bearing travel and gear grinding noise may indicate the following concerns.
^ If the release bearing is 11 mm or greater and there is grinding of one or two gears only, the
concern is probably with the transmission.
^ If all gears grind, the concern may be with the clutch and/or pilot bearing which will need
replacing.
^ If the release travel is less than 11 mm, check the clutch hydraulic system for air and bleed as
necessary.
10. If the release travel is still less than 11 mm, with all of the above items eliminated, proceed as
follows:
a. Raise the hood, while an assistant operates the clutch pedal.
b. Watch the clutch master cylinder for significant deflection.
Figure 3
c. Look for the dash reinforcement moving away from the dash, Figure 3.

M/T - Clutch Fluid Leaks/Incomplete Release > Page 4602
d. On 1987 and earlier models, look down inside the cowl cover at the cowl where it is attached to
the dash reinforcement. Check for pulled spot welds.
11. If there is significant movement of the dash or clutch master cylinder, proceed as follows:
a. Remove the steering column and its dash toe plate and seal. Refer to the appropriate Light
Truck Shop Manual, Section 13-07 for service details.
b. Inspect the dash inside the cab and look for:
^ Pulled spotwelds and cracked or torn sheet metal.
^ Cracks in the brake and clutch pedal support
Figure 4
^ Missing Y-brace fasteners and a broken or detached Y-brace, Figure 4.
12. Check the cross shaft bushings for wear if the brake pedal moves when the clutch is depressed
and vise versa. Replace them as required.
NOTE: GENERALLY, TRUCKS WITH SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN 11 MM CLUTCH RELEASE
BEARING TRAVEL (AFTER
COMPLETING THE INSPECTION PROCEDURE AND CORRECTING WHERE NECESSARY)
WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT DASH DAMAGE FROM PULLED SPOTWELDS AND TORN METAL.
THESE TRUCKS WILL REQUIRE EXTENSIVE REPAIR. THEREFORE, GO TO THE LARGE

Final Inspection
If the truck has been driven for a long period of time with the broken dash and resulting poor clutch
release, the clutch disc could be excessively worn or buckled.
Test drive the truck, evaluating the clutch for clean release. If the release is not satisfactory,
measure the release bearing travel.
^ If it has the required 12 mm at full clutch pedal stroke, then the clutch may need to be replaced.
^ If the release bearing has less than the required release travel, then the hydraulic system
probably needs to be bled.

There are two small reinforcement kits. One for 1988 and later models and one for 1987 and prior
models. This is necessary because a new hydraulic clutch master cylinder mounting pattern was
introduced for 1988 models.
1987 And Prior Trucks
Use reinforcement kit E3TZ-7K509-A on these trucks, Figure 5. Comprehensive installation
instructions are included in this kit.
1988 And Later Trucks
Use reinforcement kit E8TZ-7K509-A on these trucks. The only part in this kit is the special
reinforcement for these trucks. To install it, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the two clutch master cylinder attaching nuts (13 mm) from inside the truck.
2. Position the reinforcement in place over the clutch master cylinder studs.
3. Re-install the two master cylinder nuts, Figure

c. Connect the battery ground terminal.
Final Inspection
If the truck has been driven for a long period of time with the broken dash and resulting poor clutch
release, the clutch disc could be excessively worn or buckled.
Test drive the truck, evaluating the clutch for clean release. If the release is not satisfactory,
measure the release bearing travel.
^ If it has the required 12 mm at full clutch pedal stroke, then the clutch may need to be replaced.
^ If the release bearing has less than the required release travel, then the hydraulic system
probably needs to be bled.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1984-87 F-150/350, BRONCO
ISSUE: A clutch pedal not fully returning to contact the rubber bumper at the "up" stop may result in
any of the following conditions.
^ Transmission gear clash or hard shifting or failure to release into or from gear (particularly
reverse and 1st gear) because clutch pedal stroke length is decreased, causing low pedal reserve.
^ Clutch pedal may sometimes stick near the TOP of the stroke, requiring driver to "tip" the pedal
with his/her foot in order to get pedal to further return.
^ Speed control is inoperative, due to pedal not returning and permitting "shut off" switch circuit to
remain in the open position, i.e., clutch disengaged mode.
ACTION: To determine if a new cross-shaft lever is required, use the following diagnostic and
servicing procedure.
1. Check under the dash area to be certain that the clutch pedal system has no wiring looms which
interfere with pedal return, at the interlock switch rod and the end of the master cylinder pushrod.

2. Determine if the clutch master cylinder pushrod and lever pin are correctly aligned by
disconnecting the pushrod and seeing if it will reassemble to the pin WITHOUT DEPRESSING
THE PUSHROD OR DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH PEDAL. (When the pushrod is disconnected
from the pin, the clutch master cylinder piston is fully retracted (rearward) and the clutch pedal
blade is contacting the rubber bumper stop), see Figure 7.
3. If the two components are not in alignment, perform the following IN THIS EXACT SEQUENCE:
a. Loosen the clutch pedal attaching nut (left hand side).

b. Reinstall the clutch master cylinder pushrod to the cross-shaft lever pin.
c. Tighten the clutch pedal attaching nut (left hand side).
d. Stroke the clutch pedal several times to reset the position of the shaft to the pedal slot, THIS
STEP IS REQUIRED!
e. Again, remove the clutch master cylinder pushrod from the lever pin and check the alignment. If
the two (2) components are still not in alignment, replace the crossshaft lever.
NOTE: If the pushrod is aligned with the pin, no further action is required.
Cross-Shaft Lever Replacement
Removal
1. Disconnect the master cylinder pushrod from the cross-shaft lever pin.
1984-86 Vehicles
Remove the clevis pin. Carefully pull the pushrod from the lever.
1987 Vehicles
Disconnect the snap-in bushing by wedging a small screwdriver or putty knife between the lever
and the bushing. When the bushing tangs are free at the pin groove, carefully pull the pushrod from
the lever.
2. Remove the attaching nut.
3. Remove the lever from the cross-shaft, using a pry tool or puller.
Installation
NOTE: The proper position of clutch master cylinder pushrod relative to the crossshaft lever
(7A554) pin is controlled by this installation PROCEDURE. Therefore, ONLY the following steps
should be used.
1. Install the new lever (pin) to the clutch master cylinder pushrod bushing.
2. Install the lever onto the cross-shaft.
3. Install the attaching nut, finger tight.
4. Inspect pedal position to make sure it is against the "up" stop.
5. Tighten the attaching nut. This will permit the knurled teeth on the shaft to cut matching teeth in
lever, which then results in the correct positioning of the two (2) components.
NOTE: The above procedure is the preferred method of "adjusting" master cylinder pushrod length.
Frequently, the master cylinder is replaced or adjustable pushrods are installed to obtain the
required pushrod to lever positioning. Cross-shaft lever replacement is a more efficient method and
eliminates the potential of pushrod mis-adjustment and introducing air or contamination into the
hydraulic system.

Carrier Side Gears: Testing and Inspection
Examine drive pinion and ring gear teeth for scoring or signs of excessive wear. Worn gears cannot
be rebuilt to correct a noisy condition. Gear scoring and flaking are the result of excessive shock
loading or the use of improper lubricant. Scored gears cannot be reused.
Examine teeth and thrust surfaces of differential gears. Wear on hub of differential side gears may
cause a chucking noise known as chuckle, when the vehicle is operated at low speeds. Wear of
splines, thrust surfaces or thrust washers may contribute to excessive drive line backlash.

Differential Case: Testing and Inspection
Ensure that hubs where bearings mount are smooth. Check fit of differential gears in the
counterbores. Carefully examine thrust washers, which may be damaged when bearings are
removed. If differential bearing assemblies do not seat firmly on hubs, failure is certain. Ensure that
mating surfaces of the two parts of case and the face of the ring gear attaching flange are smooth
and free from nicks and burrs.

Differential Case: Adjustments
1. Attach ring gear to the differential case using new bolts. Torque bolts alternately and evenly to
50---60 ft. lbs. on except model 60 monobeam axle or 100-120 ft. lbs on model 60 monobeam axle.
2. Clean trunnions on the differential and install the master differential bearings on to differential
case. Remove all burrs and nicks from hubs so master bearings rotate freely.
3. Place differential case into carrier (without pinion). The differential case should move freely in the
carrier assembly. Position a suitable dial indicator against differential case flanges. Locate tip of the
indicator on the flat surface of one ring gear bolt. Force the differential case toward the dial
indicator as far as possible and zero dial indicator with force still applied. Dial indicator should have
a minimum of .200 inch travel. Force differential case away from the dial indicator as far as it will
go. Repeat this procedure until the same reading is obtained. Record dial indicator reading. This
reading indicates the amount of shims needed behind the differential side bearings to take up total
clearance between the differential bearing and case. This reading will be used during pinion and
ring gear backlash adjustment.
4. Remove differential case from the carrier. Do not remove the master differential bearings at this
time.

Differential Case: Service and Repair
For limited slip & locking differential assemblies, refer to ``Ford Drive Axle w/Integral Carrier''
section for assembly procedures. For adjustment procedures on these differentials, refer to step 9
in this procedure.
1. Install differential case in a vise, then apply suitable lubricant to side gear thrust washers and to
hubs and thrust face of the new side gears.
2. Assemble both side gears and apply suitable lubricant to the spherical washers and pinion mate
gears, then assemble pinion mate gears and washers.
3. Install both side gears and thrust washers, then the pinion mate gears and washers to hold side
gears in position.
4. Rotate side gears until holes of washers and pinion gears line up with holes of the case. If gears
cannot be rotated by hand, install one of the axle shafts into the side gear spline and use a pipe
wrench to turn shaft.
5. Line up gear holes with those of the differential case using a suitable drift, then install pinion
mate shaft. Ensure lock pin hole of shaft is lined up with lock pin hole of case.
6. Install lock pin, then peen metal of case over pin to lock in position. The semi-float shaft riding
bearing design uses a locking pin that is
installed using a suitable wrench. Use a new lock pin and assemble finger tight. This prevents
differential side gears and differential pinion mate gears from rotating in the case and dropping out
when servicing the carrier section. A new lock pin should be installed after assembling the axle
shafts.
7. Install ring gear to case, then the ring gear attaching screws. Torque ring gear attaching screws
alternately to approximately 115 ft. lbs. on except model 30 axle or 45---60 ft. lbs on model 30 axle.
8. Install differential bearings onto case using suitable tool.
9. Install differential case assembly into carrier, less pinion, then mount suitable dial indicator on
face of housing.
10. Locate tip of indicator on flat surface of one of the ring gear screw spot faces, then force
differential assembly as far as possible in the direction towards the indicator. With force still
applied, set indicator at zero.
11. Force differential assembly as far as it will go in the opposite direction. Repeat this step until
the same reading is obtained, then record this reading.
This reading will be the total amount of shims required, less preload, and will be calculated later
during assembly.
12. Remove indicator and differential assembly from housing. Do not remove bearings from
differential case at this time.

visually inspect parts for wear or damage.
2. Rotate gears to check for any roughness, which indicates damaged bearings or gears.
3. Check ring gear teeth for signs of scoring, abnormal wear, nicks or chips.
4. On models with 8.8 or 10.25 inch ring gear, proceed as follows:
a. Using dial indicator, check ring gear backlash and ring gear back face runout. Backlash should
be .008---.015 inch and back face runout
should be under .004 inch.
b. Do not use contact pattern as a guide to check for noise. Check for proper gear set assembly
using pinion depth gauge tool to determine
correct pinion shim required to ensure acceptable running condition.
5. On models with 6 3/4 or 7 1/2 inch ring gear, test ring gear runout as follows:
a. Install suitable dial indicator and zero indicator, then rotate ring gear and record reading. b. If
reading exceeds .003 inch, check for improper torque of ring gear bolts or dirt between ring and
case.
6. If reading still exceeds .003 inch after step 5b, diagnose ring gear runout as follows:
a. Remove ring gear. 1987 Bronco II models with anti-lock brakes use an exciter ring located on
the ring gear assembly. Removal of the exciter
ring is not necessary when removing ring gear on this model.
b. On models with 6 3/4 inch ring gear, install left case on right and tap them together, then place
differential cups on differential bearing cone
and roller.
c. On all models, place differential assembly in carrier casting. On models with 6 3/4 inch ring gear,
two bolts and nuts must be installed to
hold case halves together.
d. Install .265 inch shim on left side as guide. e. Install left bearing cap and tighten bolts finger tight.
f.
Install progressively larger shims on right side until largest shim selected can be assembled with a
slight drag feel. Apply pressure toward left side to ensure that bearing cup is seated.
g. Install right side bearing cap and torque differential bearing cap bolts to 70---80 ft. lbs., then
rotate assembly to ensure free rotation. h. Check runout of differential case flange with dial
indicator. If runout is within .003 inch, install new ring and pinion gear. If runout exceeds
specifications, trouble is due to either a damaged case or worn bearings.
i. Remove differential case from carrier and the differential bearings from case.
j. Install new differential bearings on case hubs and install differential assembly in carrier less ring
gear.
k. Check case runout. If runout is within .003 inch, use new bearings for reassembly. If runout is
still excessive, case is damaged and must be
replaced.
7. Remove axle shafts.
8. Mark relationship of driveshaft end yoke and axle companion flange for proper assembly, then
disconnect driveshaft at rear axle universal joint.
9. Install inch pound torque wrench on pinion nut and record torque required to maintain rotation of
pinion through several turns.
10. Using suitable tools, hold companion flange and remove pinion nut.
11. Clean area around oil seal and place drain pan under seal.
12. Mark relationship of companion flange to pinion shaft for proper assembly, then, using suitable
puller, remove companion flange.
13. Using suitable tool, remove pinion oil seal.
14. Mark one differential bearing cap to ensure proper positioning of caps during assembly. Do not
interchange left and right bearing caps.
15. Loosen differential bearing cap bolts and bearing caps, noting direction of triangles on bearing
caps for proper assembly.
16. Pry differential case, bearing cups and shims out until they are loose in bearing caps, then
remove bearing caps and pry differential assembly from carrier. When using pry bar, place a wood
block between pry bar and axle housing to protect casting face from damage.
17. Using suitable mallet, drive pinion out of front bearing cone and remove through rear of carrier
casting.
18. Using suitable tools, remove pinion rear cone and roller bearing assembly, then, using

Be sure that flat machined surfaces and the bearing cup sockets of the flange have not been
damaged in removing driveshaft or in removing flange from axle. The edge of the flange that
contacts the oil slinger or pinion front bearing must be smooth. Roughness aggravates backlash
noises and causes wear on the slinger with a resultant loss in drive pinion bearing preload. The
seal surface should be perfectly smooth or leakage will result.

Backlash & Differential Bearing Preload Adjustment
1. Remove adjusting nut locks and loosen differential bearing cap bolts, then torque cap bolts to
approximately 20 ft. lbs. Left adjusting nut is on ring gear side of carrier and right adjusting nut is on
pinion side.
2. Loosen right nut until it is away from cup and tighten left nut until ring gear is just forced into
position with zero backlash, then rotate pinion several revolutions to ensure that no binding is
evident.
3. Check right nut to ensure that it is still loose, then install dial indicator.
4. Tighten right nut until it just contacts bearing cup, then set dial indicator to zero and apply
pressure to bearings by tightening right nut until indicator reads .008---.012 inch.
5. Turn pinion gear several times in each direction to seat bearings in cups and ensure that no
binding is evident, then torque bearing caps to 70---80 ft. lbs.
6. Measure backlash on several teeth around ring gear.
7. If backlash varies by more than .004 inch between any two teeth, loosen one adjusting nut and
tighten opposite nut an equal amount to move ring gear away from or toward pinion. Tightening left
nut moves ring gear into pinion to decrease backlash while tightening right nut moves ring gear
away. When moving adjusting nuts, final movement should always be made in a tightening
direction. Assuming left nut had to be loosened one notch, loosen nut two notches, then tighten
one notch.
8. Ensure that case spread remains within specifications as previously described.
9. Perform teeth pattern check as described under ``General Axle Service.'' If backlash is correct
and gross pattern error results, recheck pinion shim selection.

Pinion Gear: Testing and Inspection
Examine drive pinion and ring gear teeth for scoring or signs of excessive wear. Worn gears cannot
be rebuilt to correct a noisy condition. Gear scoring and flaking are the result of excessive shock
loading or the use of improper lubricant. Scored gears cannot be reused.
Examine teeth and thrust surfaces of differential gears. Wear on hub of differential side gears may
cause a chucking noise known as chuckle, when the vehicle is operated at low speeds. Wear of
splines, thrust surfaces or thrust washers may contribute to excessive drive line backlash.

and ring gear are etched for verification. On the face of each pinion there is etched either a plus or
a minus number, or ``0,'' which indicates the best running position for each particular gear set. This
dimension is controlled by shimming behind the inner pinion bearing cup. A pinion etched with a +3
would require .003 inch less shims that a pinion etched ``0.'' A pinion etched - 3 would require .003
inch more shims than a pinion etched ``0.'' If the etched figure is ``0'' the shim pack will remain the
same. Refer to chart, Fig. 3. Shims are available in thicknesses of .003 inch, .005 inch, .010 inch
and .030 inch.
If old ring and pinion set is to be reused, measure the old shim pack and build a new shim pack to
the same dimension. If a baffle is used in the axle assembly, it is considered a part of the shim
pack. Measure each shim separately with a micrometer and add together to get the total shim pack
thickness from the original build up.
If a new gear set is being used, notice the (+) or ( - ) etching on both the new and old pinion and
adjust thickness of new shim pack to compensate for the difference of these two figures. For
example, if the old pinion reads +2 and the new pinion is - 2, add .004 inch shims to the original
shim pack.

Ring Gear: Testing and Inspection Gears
Examine drive pinion and ring gear teeth for scoring or signs of excessive wear. Worn gears cannot
be rebuilt to correct a noisy condition. Gear scoring and flaking are the result of excessive shock
loading or the use of improper lubricant. Scored gears cannot be reused.
Examine teeth and thrust surfaces of differential gears. Wear on hub of differential side gears may
cause a chucking noise known as chuckle, when the vehicle is operated at low speeds. Wear of
splines, thrust surfaces or thrust washers may contribute to excessive drive line backlash.

Ring Gear: Testing and Inspection Runout
1987 models equipped with anti-lock brakes incorporate a multi-tooth exciter ring which is pressed
on the differential case located behind the ring gear assembly. Do not remove exciter ring to
measure ring gear runout. A space is provided between the exciter ring and ring gear to measure
ring gear runout.
If ring gear runout during disassembly exceeded specifications, the condition may be caused by a
warped gear, or distorted or damaged case or foreign matter trapped between differential case
halves or under ring gears.
To determine cause of excessive runout, assemble differential case without ring gear, then check
as described below.
Install case in differential carrier without ring gear attached. Install bearing caps and adjuster nuts
and tighten cap bolts to specifications. Tighten adjuster nuts to center differential side bearing.
Mount a dial indicator and check runout of case flange and ring gear pilot. If runout at either point is
excessive, install a new differential case. If runout is within specification, the ring gear is out of
specification. When performing this check on a locking differential case the four compression
springs within the case should be temporarily removed. This will prevent a false runout reading due
to distortion caused by the springs forcing the case apart.

Operation on vehicles in off-road, severe environments may result in the one-piece design spindle
seal and the spindle needle bearing seal allowing water and contaminants to get into the spindle
needle bearings. This causes premature seal and bearing wear.
The following service action is suggested for installation of the previous style sealing system ("V"
ring/"V" block seals and spacer/thrustwasher). This is similar to the sealing system on the model
501FS used on F350 4x4's.

Wheel Bearing: Adjustments
1. Raise the vehicle until the tire clears the floor and install safety stands.
2. Remove the wheel cover.
3. Remove the grease cap from the hub. Wipe the excess grease from the end of the spindle.
Remove the cotter pin and locknut.
4. Loosen the adjusting nut three turns. Attempt to obtain running clearance between the rotor
brake surface and the disc pads by rocking the wheel,
hub and rotor assembly in and out several times to push the pads away from the rotor. If running
clearance cannot be maintained throughout bearing adjustment in Steps 5 and 6, the caliper must
be removed.
NOTE: Do not pry on the phenolic caliper piston.
5. Tighten the wheel adjusting nut to 30-33 Nm (22-25 ft lbs) while rotating the disc brake rotor in
the opposite direction.
6. Back off the adjusting nut 1/8 turn and install the retainer and new cotter pin without additional
movement of the adjusting nut. Bearing end play
should be 0.025-0.254mm (0.001-0.010 in). Bend the ends of the cotter pin around the castellated
flange of the locknut.
7. Check front wheel rotation. If the wheel rotates properly, reinstall the grease cap and wheel
cover. If rotation is noisy or rough, remove and inspect
the bearings. Service as required.
WARNING: Before driving the vehicle, pump the brake pedal several times to restore normal brake
pedal travel.

Wheel Bearing: Service and Repair
Wheel bearing lubricant is a lithium-base grease. Sodium-base grease is not compatible with
lithium-base grease and should not be intermixed. Therefore, do not lubricate front and/or rear
wheel bearings without first identifying the type of original wheel bearing lubricant. Usage of
incompatible bearing lubricants may result in premature lubricant breakdown.
REMOVAL
Front Hub And Rotor Assembly
1. Raise the vehicle until the tire clears the floor and remove the wheel and tire assembly.
2. Remove the brake caliper and secure to the underbody to prevent damage to the brake hose. It
is not necessary to disconnect the hose from the
caliper. Do not let the caliper hang with its weight on the brake hose or the hose may become
stretched, twisted or ruptured. See: Brakes and Traction Control/Disc Brake System/Brake
Caliper/Service and Repair
3. Remove the grease cap, cotter pin, retainer adjusting nut and washer.
4. Remove the outer bearing cone and roller.
5. Pull the hub and rotor off the spindle and remove and discard the grease seal.
6. Remove the inner bearing cone and roller from the hub. Remove all traces of old lubricant from
bearings, hub and axle spindle.
7. Inspect the cups for scratches, pits or cracks. If the cups are worn or damaged, remove them
with a drift. Clean the inner and outer bearing cones
and rollers with solvent and dry thoroughly.
CAUTION: Do not spin the bearings dry with compressed air.
8. Inspect the cones and rollers for cracks, nicks, brinelling, or seized rollers. Inspect the grease
retainer and replace it if it is cracked, nicked, dented
or worn.
9. Cover the spindle with a clean cloth. A water dampened cloth or water based solution should be
used to remove and dust or loose dirt from the
brake assembly. Remove the cloth from the spindle carefully to prevent dirt from falling on the
spindle.
NOTE: Do not use compressed air.

Information > Specifications > Page 4858
Installing Bearing Cups (Typical)
1. If inner or outer bearing cups were removed, install replacement inner and outer bearing cups in
the hub with the appropriate bearing cup replacer
tool. Be sure to seat the cups properly in the hub. The cups will be properly seated when they are
fully bottomed. Replace grease retainers. Polish grease retainer journal on spindle with 400 grit
sandpaper. Clean with clean cloth.
2. Pack the inside of the hub with lithium-base grease or equivalent. Fill the hub until the grease is
flush with the inside diameters of both bearing
cups. Pack the bearing cones and rollers with wheel bearing grease. Use a bearing packer for this
operation. If a packer is not available, work as much lubricant as possible between the rollers and
cages. Lubricate the cone surfaces with grease.
Installing Grease Seal (Typical)
3. Place the inner bearing cone and roller in the inner cup and install the new grease seal. Be sure
that the seal is fully seated.
4. Install the hub and rotor on the wheel spindle. Keep the hub centered on the spindle to prevent
damage to the grease retainer or the spindle threads.
5. Install the outer bearing cone and roller and the flat washer on the spindle, then install the
adjusting nut, and adjust the wheel bearing.
6. Install the retainer, new cotter pin, and grease cap.
7. Install the caliper.
8. Install the wheel and tire assembly.
9. Lower vehicle and torque the lug nuts to specification. Re-install the wheel cover or hub cap.

A plugged rear axle vent may cause water to be sucked in through the seals and grease to be
pushed out. This happens when pressures rise and fall inside the axle during various driving
conditions and temperatures. The purpose of the vent is to relieve those pressures. If the vent is
plugged with mud or other foreign materials, the axle cannot "breathe".
To eliminate this concern, perform the following procedure:
Figure 17
1. Remove the vent from the axle (Figure 17).
2. Place the vent in a vise so as not to damage the threads.
3. Drill out the vent using a 3/16 inch drill bit. Clean all shavings from vent.

This article is being republished in its entirety to clarify the slip yoke application chart.
ISSUE: A "clunk" or "grunt" noise from the vehicle driveline during start-up and stopping drive
modes may be caused by engine torque preventing the slip yoke from sliding smoothly on the
transmission output shaft splines. During the same drive modes, rear suspension wrap-up
overcomes slip yoke-to-output shaft friction causing sudden slip yoke/driveshaft movement, which
results in a "clunk" or "grunt" noise. The affected vehicles are 1978-87 E-250/350 with a C6

This article is being republished in its entirety to clarify the slip yoke application chart.
ISSUE: A "clunk" or "grunt" noise from the vehicle driveline during start-up and stopping drive
modes may be caused by engine torque preventing the slip yoke from sliding smoothly on the
transmission output shaft splines. During the same drive modes, rear suspension wrap-up
overcomes slip yoke-to-output shaft friction causing sudden slip yoke/driveshaft movement, which
results in a "clunk" or "grunt" noise. The affected vehicles are 1978-87 E-250/350 with a C6
transmission; 1981-87 F-150/350 (4x2) with a C6, NPG 435, AOD, TOD, or T18 transmission;
1981-87 E-150 with a C6 or AOD transmission; 1985-86 F- 150/250 (4x4); 1983-87 Ranger (4x2)
and 1986-87 Aerostar.
ACTION: To correct this, install a new design slip yoke with nickel-plated splines to allow for
smooth slip yoke movement. Refer to the appropriate Shop Manual, Section 15-60 for slip yoke
removal and installation procedures. Also, refer to the slip yoke application chart below for the
correct service part number.

Disassembly
1. Place driveshaft in a vise using care to avoid damaging it.
2. Remove bearing retaining snap rings. Some universal joints use injected nylon retainers in place
of snap rings. During servicing, the snap rings supplied with the replacement universal joint
assembly must be used.
3. Position tool on shaft and press bearing out of yoke, Fig. 7. If bearing cannot be pressed all the
way out, remove it using vise grips or channel lock pliers or position driveshaft as shown and strike
center yoke with hammer, Fig. 8. Mark yoke and shaft to make sure they will be reassembled in
their same relative positions.
4. Reposition tool so that it presses on the spider in order to press other bearing from opposite side
of flange.

Fig. 5 Removing bearings from yoke using a small socket as a driver & large socket as a receiver
Disassembly
1. Remove snap rings (or retainer plates) that retain bearings in yoke and drive shaft.
2. Place U-joint in a vise.
3. Select a wrench socket with an outside diameter slightly smaller than the U-joint bearings. Select
another wrench socket with an inside diameter slightly larger than the U-joint bearings.
4. Place the sockets at opposite bearings in the yoke so that the smaller socket becomes a bearing
pusher and the larger socket becomes a bearing receiver when the vise jaws come together, Fig.
5. Close vise jaws until both bearings are free of yoke and remove bearings from the cross or
spider.
5. If bearings will not come all the way out, close vise until bearing in receiver socket protrudes
from yoke as much as possible without using excessive force. Then remove from vise and place
that portion of bearing which protrudes from yoke between vise jaws. Tighten vise to hold bearing
and drive yoke off with a soft hammer.
6. To remove opposite bearing from yoke, replace in vise with pusher socket on exposed cross
journal with receiver socket over bearing cup. Then tighten vise jaws to press bearing back through
yoke into receiving socket.
7. Remove yoke from drive shaft and again place protruding portion of bearing between vise jaws.
Then tighten vise to hold bearing while driving yoke off bearing with soft hammer.
8. Turn spider or cross 1/4 turn and use the same procedure to press bearings out of drive shaft.
Fig. 6 Installing bearings into driveshaft yoke
Assembly
1. If old parts are to be reassembled, pack bearing cups with universal joint grease. Do not fill cups
completely or use excessive amounts as

over-lubrication may damage seals during reassembly. Use new seals.
2. If new parts are being installed, check new bearings for adequate grease before assembling.
3. With the pusher (smaller) socket, press one bearing part way into drive shaft. Position spider into
the partially installed bearing. Place second bearing into drive shaft. Fasten drive shaft in vise so
that bearings are in contact with faces of vise jaws, Fig. 6. Some spiders are provided with locating
lugs which must face toward drive shaft when installed.
4. Press bearings all the way into position and install snap rings or retainer plates.
5. Install bearings in yoke in same manner. When installation is completed, check U-joint for
binding or roughness. If free movement is impeded, correct the condition before installation in
vehicle.

LIGHT TRUCK 1985-86 F150-350
Figure 9 - Shift Tower/Shift Gate
A new transmission gear shift housing (7222) and a new "spring-loaded" design 1st/2nd gear shift
gate assembly (7279) became effective on transmissions built after November 20, 1984. The
revisions in the shift gate are designed to retain the shift lever in the 3rd/4th gear shift mode and
make transmission shifting into all gears smoother. See Figure 9. Because of a required casting
change to the gear shift housing, to accomodate the new spring-loaded shift gate,
interchangeability between the old and new design gear shift housing is affected. The old design
gear shift housing can only be used with the old design 1st/2nd gear shift gate on transmissions
built before November 2O, 1984.The new design gear shift housing (7222) can be used with either
the old design or new design spring-loaded lst/2nd gear shift gate (7222) and can be used on
transmissions built both before and after November 20, 1984.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Manual Bleeding
NOTE: Bleed primary and secondary hydraulic brake systems separately, bleeding longest line first
on each system. Do not allow reservoir to run dry during bleeding operation. Never reuse fluid that
has been drained from hydraulic system.
1. Loosen master cylinder to hydraulic line nuts and wrap shop cloths around tubing below fitting to
absorb escaping brake fluid.
2. Depress brake pedal slowly by hand to floor of cab, forcing air trapped in master cylinder out at
fitting.
3. Hold pedal down and tighten fittings, then release brake pedal.
NOTE: Releasing brake pedal before fittings are tightened will allow air to enter the master
cylinder.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until air ceases to escape at fittings and brake pedal is firm.
5. Bleed rear brakes as follows:
RR, LR, RF, LF
WARNING: Do not bleed the brakes with the drums removed. The wheel-cylinders will over-extend
and eject the pistons.
a. Pump pedal several times, then hold pedal down firmly.
WARNING: Do not Full Stroke the brake pedal, this may damage the master cylinder. Place a 2
inch block of wood under the brake pedal to prevent Full Stroking.
b. With pedal firmly depressed, open bleeder screw on one rear brake until pedal fades to floor,
then close bleeder valve.
NOTE: Do not release the brake pedal until the bleeder valve is fully shut.
c. Repeat procedure until a continuous flow of brake fluid is released from bleeder valve.
d. Repeat steps 5a through 5c on other rear brake.
6. Bleed front brakes using same procedure as for rear brakes.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Master Cylinder Bleeding
1. Support the master cylinder body in a vise, and fill both fluid reservoirs with heavy duty DOT 3
brake fluid. 2. Install plugs in the front and rear brake outlet ports. Bleed the rear brake outlet
system first. 3. Loosen the plug in the rear brake outlet port. Depress the primary piston slowly to
force the air out of the master cylinder. Tighten plug while
piston is depressed or air will enter the master cylinder.
4. Repeat this procedure until air ceases to exit at the outlet port. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the
front brake outlet port with the rear brake outlet plugged. 6. Tighten the plugs and try to depress the
piston. Depressing the piston should be harder after all air is expelled. 7. Install the cover and
diaphragm assembly making sure the cover retainer is tightened securely. Remove the plugs.

Be sure the bleeder tank contains enough of the specified brake fluid to complete the bleeding
operation. Charge the tank with approximately 69-206 kPa (10-30 psi). Never exceed 345 kPa (50
psi). Never use brake fluid that has been drained from the hydraulic system. Bleed the longest lines
first
1. Clean all dirt from the master cylinder reservoir cap.
2. Remove the master cylinder reservoir cap and fill the master cylinder reservoir with the specified
brake fluid. Install the pressure bleeder adapter
tool on the master cylinder, and attach the bleeder tank hose to the fitting on the adapter.
NOTE: Master cylinder pressure bleeder adapter tools are available from the manufacturers of
pressure bleeding equipment. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when installing the adapter.
3. Place a 3/8 inch box wrench on the bleeder fitting on the right rear brake wheel cylinder. Attach a
bleeder tube snugly to the bleeder fitting.
4. Open the valve on the bleeder tank and admit pressurized brake fluid to the master cylinder
reservoir.
5. Submerge the free end of the tube in a container partially filled with clean brake fluid, and loosen
the bleeder fitting.
6. When air bubbles no longer appear in the fluid at the submerged end of the bleeder tube, close
the bleeder fitting and remove the tube.
7. Repeat Steps 3 through 6 at the opposite wheel cylinder. On front brakes, bleed the right front
caliper first.
8. When the bleeding operation is completed, close the bleeder tank valve and remove the tank
hose from the adapter fitting.
9. Remove the pressure bleeder adapter tool. Fill the master cylinder reservoirs with the specified
brake fluid to within 3 mm (1/8 in) from the top of
the filler neck. Install the master cylinder cover.

chipping or scuffing damage to the phenolic piston.
DISASSEMBLY
Disc Brake Caliper Disassembled
1. Remove the caliper assembly from the vehicle. Remove outer brake shoe to avoid damage to
lining material. Substitute shoe with a piece of wood
of similar size and shape, or use a worn out shoe and lining assembly. Place a cloth over the piston
before applying air pressure to prevent damage to the piston.
2. Apply air pressure to the fluid port in the caliper with a rubber-tipped nozzle to remove the piston.
If the piston is seized and cannot be forced
from the caliper, tap lightly around the piston while applying air pressure.
NOTE: Use care because the piston can develop considerable force from pressure build-up.
3. Remove the dust boot from the caliper assembly.
4. Remove the rubber piston seal from the cylinder and discard it.
NOTE: Do not remove the steel ring from the piston.
CLEANING and INSPECTION
Clean all metal parts with isopropyl alcohol. Clean out and dry the grooves and passageways with
compressed air. Make sure that caliper bore and component parts are thoroughly clean.
Use a wire brush to remove any rust or corrosion from the machined surfaces of the caliper
housing.
NOTE: Do not use a wire brush in the cylinder bore.
Check the cylinder bore and piston for damage or excessive wear. Replace the piston if it is pitted,
scored or worn. Do not replace phenolic pistons for cosmetic surface irregularities or small chips
between the piston groove and pad face.
Use a wire brush to clean corrosion from the boot groove and the machined surfaces of the spindle
assembly.
Replace the anti-rattle clip, piston seal and dust boot with new components.
ASSEMBLY
1. Apply a film of clean brake fluid to the new caliper piston seal, and install it in the cylinder bore.
Be sure the seal does not become twisted but is
firmly seated in the groove.
2. Install a new dust boot by setting the flange squarely in the outer groove of the caliper bore.
3. Coat the piston with brake fluid, and install the piston in the cylinder bore. Spread the dust boot
over the piston as it is installed. Seat the dust boot
in the piston groove, behind the pressed-on steel ring.
4. Install the caliper over the rotor.

Brake Caliper: Fundamentals and Basics Removal Notes
When Removing the Caliper, Remember...
- Prior to removing the calipers, remove/siphon brake fluid from master-cylinder until the reservoir
is only 1/3 full.
- Brake fluid will remove paint and damage electrical connections. Use a drip pan and fender
covers to protect the vehicle's finish and electrical system.
- Always replace all brake linings on an axle. Never replace only one wheel. Unequal lining
thickness between wheels on the same axle will result in a strong steering pull when the brakes are
applied.
- Work on one side at a time. If you forget how to reassemble the parts you can always use the
other side as a model.
- When forcing the piston back into the caliper, open the bleeder valve first. Corrosion and other
deposits accumulate inside of the caliper. If the bleeder valve is not opened when the piston is
forced back into the caliper, these deposits will be forced back through the brake lines and into the
master-cylinder.
When pushing the pistons back into the caliper with the bleeder screw open, a stream of brake fluid
will be expelled from the bleeder screw for 2-3 feet. Use a drip pan and be careful not to "shoot"
brake fluid onto the vehicle's finish. A cleaner method is to use a piece of clear plastic hose and a
glass or plastic jar to catch the expelled fluid.
- Upon removal, Do Not allow the calipers to hang by the flexible brake hoses. The brake hoses
can be damaged easily by this practice. These hoses are double walled, damage to the interior
pressure hose will not be visible.
- Do not depress the brake pedal with either caliper removed from the rotor. The caliper pistons will
be inadvertently expelled from the caliper. If this occurs rebuild or replace the caliper, do not
attempt to insert the piston back into the caliper.

Brake Caliper: Fundamentals and Basics Installation Notes
WHEN INSTALLING CALIPERS AND PADS, REMEMBER...
- Clean and lubricate caliper slide joint/pins with high temperature silicone grease:
Unlike drum brakes, disc brakes do not utilize a spring to withdraw the pads/linings when the brake
pedal is released. Disc brakes rely on the elasticity of the piston seals, and the unrestricted
movement of the caliper slide assemblies to release the brakes.
If the slide joints/pins are not cleaned and lubricated properly the disc brake linings will drag upon
the release of the brake pedal. This will result in overheated brakes and premature brake wear.
Disc Brake Mechanical Force Diagram
NOTE: Floating calipers require free and unrestricted movement on the caliper mounting. Floating
or sliding calipers have pistons only on one side of the rotor. The first part of the piston's travel
forces the inner pad against the rotor, then further travel forces the movable part of the caliper to
pull the outer pad against the rotor.
High temperature silicone lubricant must be used. Low temperature grease can melt and
contaminate the pads and rotors, or can bake into a very hard substance which binds the slides.
Petroleum based grease can cause the slide boots to soften and swell.
Work on one side at a time. If you forget how to reassemble the parts you can always use the other
side as a model.
Anti-squeal Coating
- Apply an anti-squeal coating to the back side of the pads/linings. This coatings acts as an
insulator to dampen high frequency vibrations that are generated during normal braking. These
compounds are highly effective in preventing brake squeal.
- Many professional repair shops recommend always rebuilding or replacing the calipers when
replacing the brake linings, because:
When the pistons are forced back into the calipers, the piston seals are dragged across any
corrosion or abrasives that may be deposited on the inside of the caliper.
Damage to the seals may not be initially evident. As the new brake linings begin to wear, the piston
is gradually withdrawn from the caliper.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Caliper > Component Information >
Fundamentals and Basics > Removal Notes > Page 5097
This results in the piston seals again being dragged across the layer of corrosion and deposits.
Calipers which are not rebuilt or replaced have a higher probability of sticking or leaking.
- Check to ensure the bleeder screw is not frozen prior to reinstalling caliper. Freeing a stuck
bleeder screw is much easier with the caliper removed from the vehicle.

If the subject vehicles are experiencing a brake squeal concern, they should be serviced by
installing insulator pads. Information in TSB 85-3-10 should not be used, this new service action
supersedes the previous article with updated information.
The following procedures and precautions should be observed when servicing front brake squeal
concerns.
^ Remove the caliper and clean the sliding surfaces with a wire brush. Apply a light coating of
ESAM1C172-A(D7AZ-19590-A) lubricant to both surfaces. Be careful not to get lube on rotors or
linings. Wipe any excess lube off after assembly. Visually inspect rotors for any obvious damage or
scoring.
^ Check the front wheel bearing end play adjustment. Adjust the front wheel bearings using the
procedures included in the Light Truck Shop Manual, Sections 11-10 and 11-12.
NOTE: The disc brake caliper and pads must be removed from the spindle prior to adjusting the
front wheel bearings.
^ Clean lining and rotor surfaces. Remove any uneven glaze buildup on lining and rotor braking
surfaces by sanding with medium to fine sandpaper or emery cloth. Uniform rotor sanding can be
accomplished by holding the paper against the rotor braking surface while manually turning the
rotor.
^ Remove any loose insulator material from the pad backing plates with sandpaper or an
appropriate solvent.
This procedure applies only to the following models: 1980-86 E100/150, F100/150, Bronco, F250
4x2 under 6900 lbs. GVW (single piston calipers).
^ Install the service insulator (E1TZ-2B321-A) to the backing plate of the OUTBOARD pad and
lining assembly (both L.H. and R.H. brake). Bond the insulator to the back side of the brake pad
assembly with ESA-M1C140-A1 (D7AZ-19554-C) adhesive. Apply adhesive to the light color side
of each insulator. Assure that insulator is centered on backing plate and that directions for applying
adhesive are followed.
This procedure is for 1980-86 F250 4x2 over 6900 lbs. GVW, F250 4x4, F350, E250/350 (dual
piston calipers).

If the subject vehicles are experiencing a brake squeal concern, they should be serviced by
installing insulator pads. Information in TSB 85-3-10 should not be used, this new service action
supersedes the previous article with updated information.
The following procedures and precautions should be observed when servicing front brake squeal
concerns.
^ Remove the caliper and clean the sliding surfaces with a wire brush. Apply a light coating of
ESAM1C172-A(D7AZ-19590-A) lubricant to both surfaces. Be careful not to get lube on rotors or
linings. Wipe any excess lube off after assembly. Visually inspect rotors for any obvious damage or
scoring.
^ Check the front wheel bearing end play adjustment. Adjust the front wheel bearings using the
procedures included in the Light Truck Shop Manual, Sections 11-10 and 11-12.
NOTE: The disc brake caliper and pads must be removed from the spindle prior to adjusting the
front wheel bearings.
^ Clean lining and rotor surfaces. Remove any uneven glaze buildup on lining and rotor braking
surfaces by sanding with medium to fine sandpaper or emery cloth. Uniform rotor sanding can be
accomplished by holding the paper against the rotor braking surface while manually turning the
rotor.
^ Remove any loose insulator material from the pad backing plates with sandpaper or an
appropriate solvent.
This procedure applies only to the following models: 1980-86 E100/150, F100/150, Bronco, F250
4x2 under 6900 lbs. GVW (single piston calipers).
^ Install the service insulator (E1TZ-2B321-A) to the backing plate of the OUTBOARD pad and
lining assembly (both L.H. and R.H. brake). Bond the insulator to the back side of the brake pad
assembly with ESA-M1C140-A1 (D7AZ-19554-C) adhesive. Apply adhesive to the light color side
of each insulator. Assure that insulator is centered on backing plate and that directions for applying
adhesive are followed.
This procedure is for 1980-86 F250 4x2 over 6900 lbs. GVW, F250 4x4, F350, E250/350 (dual
piston calipers).
^ Install the service insulator (E1TZ-2B321-B) to the back side of the INBOARD pad and lining
assembly (both L.H. and R.H. brake). Bond the insulator to the backing plate and lining assembly
using the previously listed procedure.
^ Install the service shim (E6TZ-2B321-A) to the back side of the outboard pad and lining assembly
(both L.H. and R.H. brake) by clipping the shim over the straight edge of the backing plate. Be sure
the shim is fully seated and centered on the straight edge of the backing plate.
NOTE: For dual piston caliper application only.
^ Reinstall caliper to the spindle assembly.
NOTE: DO NOT replace linings unless required for wear or additional concerns (Shop Manual,
Section 12-24).

Brake Rotor/Disc: Testing and Inspection
PURPOSE
In the manufacturing of the brake rotor all the tolerances regarding surface finish, parallelism, and
lateral runout are held very closely. The maintenance of these tolerances provide the surface
necessary to prevent brake roughness.
Light scoring of the rotor surface not in excess of 0.38 mm (0.015-inch) in depth is normal. This
condition does not affect the brake operation.
Some discoloration or wear of the disc surface is normal and does not require re-surfacing when
linings are replaced.
SPECIFICATIONS - See: Specifications
LATERAL RUNOUT
Lateral runout is the movement of the rotor from side to side as it rotates on the spindle. This could
also be referred to as "rotor wobble".
This movement causes the brake pad and piston to be knocked back into it's bore. This results in
additional pedal travel and a vibration during braking.
Checking Lateral Runout 1. Tighten the wheel bearings to eliminate all freeplay.
Ford F 150 2wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-351 5.8L (1986))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component Information
> Technical Service Bulletins > Page 5162
2. Attach a dial indicator to a solid non-rotating portion of the hub assembly or suspension.
- The point of the styles must contact the rotor face about 25 mm (1-inch) from the rotor edge.
3. Move the rotor one complete rotation and observe the dial indicator.
4. Rotate the bezel on the dial indicator such that "0" is at the low deflection point. 5. Again rotate
the rotor at least one complete turn and observe the needle deflection. Total needle deflection will
equal lateral runout. 6. Readjust the wheel bearings.
MINIMUM THICKNESS
The thickness of a rotor is important for two reasons: 1. Rotors which are too thin are not able to
properly absorb and release heat during heavy braking. This results in reduced braking capacity
and
brake fade.
2. Rotors worn below minimum thickness in combination with worn pads/linings can result in the
caliper piston extending too far becoming
cocked or jammed.
Rotor thickness should be measured at the thinnest point on the rotor. Any rotor which is worn
below its minimum thickness should be replaced.
For accurate measurements, it is best to remove the caliper to allow for complete access to the
inboard side of the rotor. For more information on how to use a disc brake micrometer see
Fundamentals and Basics.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component Information
> Technical Service Bulletins > Page 5163
PARALLELISM
Parallelism is the measurement of the thickness of the rotor at 12 or more points around the
circumference of the rotor. All measurements must be made at the same distance in from the edge
of the rotor.
Lack Of Parallelism
Lack Of Parallelism
MACHINING
Since accurate control of the rotor tolerances is necessary for proper performance of the disc
brakes, machining of the rotor should be done only with precision equipment.

All brake rotors have a minimum thickness dimension cast into them. This dimension is the
minimum wear dimension and not a refinish dimension. Do not use a brake rotor that will not meet
the specifications, after refinishing. Replace with a new brake rotor.
NOTE: 1 inch = 25.4mm, so if your micrometer measures in inches and the specified thickness on
the disc is in millimeters, convert millimeters to inches by dividing the specified number of
millimeters by 25.4.
Example: Specification on disc is 17.8 mm. Dividing 17.8mm by 25.4mm/in = 17.8/25.4 = 0.70
inches.

Brake Rotor/Disc: Service and Repair Installation
Front Hub And Rotor Assembly
Wheel bearing lubricant is a lithium-base grease. Sodium-base grease is not compatible with
lithium-base grease and should not be intermixed. Therefore, do not lubricate front and/or rear
wheel bearings without first identifying the type of original wheel bearing lubricant. Usage of
incompatible bearing lubricants may result in premature lubricant breakdown.
1. If a new hub and rotor will be installed, remove the protective coating, any dirt or grease deposits
with brake parts cleaner or degreaser. 2. Pack the inside of the hub with lithium-base grease or
equivalent. Fill the hub until the grease is flush with the inside diameters of both bearing
cups. Pack the bearing cones and rollers with wheel bearing grease. Use a bearing packer for this
operation. If a packer is not available, work as much lubricant as possible between the rollers and
cages. Lubricate the cone surfaces with grease.
Installing Grease Seal (Typical)
3. Place the inner bearing cone and roller in the inner cup and install the new grease seal. Be sure
that the seal is fully seated. 4. Install the hub and rotor on the wheel spindle. Keep the hub
centered on the spindle to prevent damage to the grease retainer or the spindle threads. 5. Install
the outer bearing cone and roller and the flat washer on the spindle, then install the adjusting nut,
and adjust the wheel bearing. 6. Install the retainer, new cotter pin, and grease cap. 7. Install the
caliper.
For additional information see Installation Notes.

Brake Rotor/Disc: Service and Repair Servicing
Each time the brakes are serviced, the disc brake rotor should be checked for scoring, runout,
parallelism and thickness.
ROTOR MACHINING
Do not machine, cut or true up new front disc brake hub and rotors prior to installation on vehicle.
Making a light cut on a new front disc brake hub and rotor may cause excessive runout and result
in brake shudder several thousand miles later. It is best to clean oil film off new front disc brake hub
and rotor with Brake Cleaner or equivalent install it on vehicle.
Never use a brake lathe that cuts only one face of the front disc brake hub and rotor at a time. It
must be a simultaneous straddle cut. All front disc brake hub and rotor refinishing must adhere to
the rule that equal amounts of front disc brake hub and rotor stock are removed from each braking
surface each time a front disc brake hub and rotor is refinished.
On-vehicle brake lathes, machine the front disc brake hub and rotor while it is on the hub and is
turning on the same axis as the hub. This procedure reduces front disc brake hub and rotor lateral
runout to near zero by cutting the front disc brake hub and rotor perpendicular to the axis of the
hub, therefore cancelling the affect of stacked tolerance of the front disc brake hub and rotor and
front wheel spindle. Follow the on-vehicle brake lathe manufacturer's instructions on machining
procedures.
A bench-mounted disc brake lathe machines the disc brake hub and rotor to the axis of the lathe
arbor and will not reduce total lateral runout associated with stacked tolerances of the front disc
brake hub and rotor and front wheel spindle. Follow manufacturer's instructions on machining
procedures.
With both types of brake lathes, set cutting tool to just contact the high spots on the front disc brake
hub and rotor then adjust cutting tool to the minimum depth required to clean up the front disc
brake hub and rotor face. The total material removed (combination of both sides) must not exceed
the minimum discard thickness that is marked on the inside of the front disc brake hub and rotor.
To improve initial brake pedal feel and surface finish on a machined front disc brake hub and rotor,
lightly sand rotor surface with 120 grit paper prior to road testing.

Brake Drum: Testing and Inspection
VISUAL INSPECTION
Inspect the drum for cracks. If any large, through-the-drum cracks are located the drum must be
replaced.
NOTE: Cracks in drums are often difficult to locate. To quickly determine if a drum is cracked lightly
drop the drum (from a height of 4-5 inches) onto a flat hard surface. A cracked drum will make a
dull thud sound while a good drum will make a ringing sound.
Inspect for signs of overheating. An overheated drum will often be discolored (blue/gold), warped,
or heat checked. Heat checks are small cracks in the drum friction surface. Heat checks can be
removed by resurfacing.
NOTE: The cause of the overheating should be determined prior to replacing the shoes/linings or
drums.
Inspect for scoring. Any grooves or scores in excess of 0.008 inches should be resurfaced.
SPECIFICATIONS - See: Specifications
MAXIMUM DIAMETER
Purpose
The thickness of the drum friction surface is directly proportional to the drums ability to absorb and
release heat during braking. As the drum becomes thinner due to normal wear and resurfacing it
looses its ability to absorb and release heat and is more prone to brake fade, distortion, and
cracking.
As the drum wears the inside diameter of the drum increases. The amount of drum thickness lost to
wear is equal to 1/2 the increase in diameter.
There are two specifications related to drum thickness.
Discard Diameter - This is the maximum diameter at which it becomes unsafe to operate. A drum
which has reached this thickness should not be machined and should be discarded.
Maximum Refinish - This is the maximum diameter to which a drum may be machined or
resurfaced to. This diameter is smaller (thicker) than the Discard diameter because it assumes the
drum will need to have a sufficient thickness left, after machining, to allow for further wear from a
new set of shoes/linings.
Which One Should Be Used?
If you install a new pair of shoes with the drum diameter at or less than the "Maximum Refinish"
specification the drums should have a sufficient thickness to last the normal life of the new
shoes/linings.
The "Discard Diameter" should be used to determine if a drum needs to be replaced at the present
time of inspection.
If you install a new pair of shoes with the drums machined at or near "Discard Diameter", within a
short time the drums will be too thin
Ford F 150 2wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-351 5.8L (1986))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Drum Brake System > Brake Drum > Component Information >
Specifications > Page 5177
(unsafe) and the new shoes/linings will be subject to overheating and brake fade.
How To Measure
NOTE: For additional information on how to use a drum micrometer see Fundamentals and Basics.
- A drum micrometer is used to measure the drum diameter.
- The micrometer scale should be initially set to the original (new) thickness of the drum.
- The base of the micrometer should be placed in the deepest groove in the drum and held steady
while the measuring point is swiveled to find the maximum diameter.
- The base and measuring point should be kept at the same depth in the drum.
Drum Micrometer
- The measurement should be repeated at 3 or more places around the circumference of the drum
to determine if the drum is out of round. If the measurements differ by more than 0.004 inches the
drum should be resurfaced.
Ford F 150 2wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-351 5.8L (1986))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Drum Brake System > Brake Drum > Component Information >
Specifications > Page 5178
NOTE: A drum which is out of round will cause a pedal pulsation to be felt upon braking.
- The measurement should also be repeated at various depths of the drum to check for a bellmouth
condition. If the measurements differ by more than .010 inches the drum should be resurfaced.
NOTE: 1 inch = 25.4mm, so if your micrometer measures in inches and the specified thickness on
the disc is in millimeters, convert millimeters to inches by dividing the specified number of
millimeters by 25.4.
Example: Specification on disc is 17.8 mm. Dividing 17.8mm by 25.4mm/in = 17.8/25.4 = 0.70
inches.

For additional information see Notes, Warnings, and Hints.
REMOVAL
1. Raise the vehicle so the wheel is clear of the floor. Install safety stands under the axle.
CAUTION: Use of a drum puller or a torch Is not recommended. Drum distortion may result.
2. Remove the wheel and tire assembly. Remove the spring retaining nuts and remove the brake
drum.
3. If the brake drum is rusted to the axle shaft pilot diameter, use coarse sandpaper to remove the
rust build-up, then remove the brake drum.
4. Check the surface of the brake drum. If worn or if brake drum is suspected of having excessive
runout, the brake drum should be machined. After
machining, check maximum diameter (stamped on the outside of the brake drum). Brake drum
must be replaced if diameter is outside maximum limit.
Retracting Brake Shoes
If the brake drum will not come off, insert a narrow screwdriver through the brake adjusting hole in
the brake backing plate, and disengage the brake shoe adjusting lever from the brake adjuster
screw. While holding the brake shoe adjusting lever away from the brake adjuster screw, loosen
the brake adjuster screw with the brake adjusting tool. Loosen the brake adjuster screw only if the
brake drum cannot be removed. Do not burr, chip, or damage the notches in the brake adjuster
screw or the self-adjusting mechanism will not function properly.
If the brake adjuster screw was loosened, check to be sure the brake shoe adjusting lever is still
properly seated In the shoe web.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove the protective coating from a new brake drum with brake parts cleaner.
2. Adjust the brakes.
3. Install the brake drum onto the axle shaft flange or rear hub.
4. Install the retaining clips securely. Install the wheel on the axle shaft flange or rear hub studs
against the brake drum, and tighten to specification.

Brake Drum: Service and Repair Servicing
Minor scores should be removed with sandpaper. Grooves and large scores can only be removed
by machining with special equipment, as long as the braking surface is within specifications
stamped on brake drum outer surface. Any brake drum sufficiently out of round to cause vehicle
vibration or noise while braking, or showing taper should also be machined, removing only enough
stock to true up the brake drum.
After a brake drum is machined, wipe braking surface diameter with a cloth soaked in denatured
alcohol. If one brake drum is machined, the other should also be machined to the same diameter to
maintain equal braking forces.

ISSUE: Occasional or intermittent brake squeal may be cause by the brake friction material
generating noise and heat in order to dissipate energy. This occasional or intermittent squeal may
be a normal condition and requires no corrective action.
ACTION: If a customer is concerned about occasional or intermittent brake squeal, it should be
explained that brake friction materials inherently generate noise and heat in order to dissipate
energy. As a result, an occasional squeal condition may be normal, and could be affected by cold,
heat, wetness, snow, salt, mud etc.

Brake Caliper: Service and Repair Rebuild
NOTE: Do not use a screwdriver or any similar tool to pry piston into or out of the bore to prevent
chipping or scuffing damage to the phenolic piston.
DISASSEMBLY
Disc Brake Caliper Disassembled
1. Remove the caliper assembly from the vehicle. Remove outer brake shoe to avoid damage to
lining material. Substitute shoe with a piece of wood
of similar size and shape, or use a worn out shoe and lining assembly. Place a cloth over the piston
before applying air pressure to prevent damage to the piston.
2. Apply air pressure to the fluid port in the caliper with a rubber-tipped nozzle to remove the piston.
If the piston is seized and cannot be forced
from the caliper, tap lightly around the piston while applying air pressure.
NOTE: Use care because the piston can develop considerable force from pressure build-up.
3. Remove the dust boot from the caliper assembly.
4. Remove the rubber piston seal from the cylinder and discard it.
NOTE: Do not remove the steel ring from the piston.
CLEANING and INSPECTION
Clean all metal parts with isopropyl alcohol. Clean out and dry the grooves and passageways with
compressed air. Make sure that caliper bore and component parts are thoroughly clean.
Use a wire brush to remove any rust or corrosion from the machined surfaces of the caliper
housing.
NOTE: Do not use a wire brush in the cylinder bore.
Check the cylinder bore and piston for damage or excessive wear. Replace the piston if it is pitted,
scored or worn. Do not replace phenolic pistons for cosmetic surface irregularities or small chips
between the piston groove and pad face.
Use a wire brush to clean corrosion from the boot groove and the machined surfaces of the spindle
assembly.
Replace the anti-rattle clip, piston seal and dust boot with new components.
ASSEMBLY
1. Apply a film of clean brake fluid to the new caliper piston seal, and install it in the cylinder bore.
Be sure the seal does not become twisted but is
firmly seated in the groove.
2. Install a new dust boot by setting the flange squarely in the outer groove of the caliper bore.
3. Coat the piston with brake fluid, and install the piston in the cylinder bore. Spread the dust boot
over the piston as it is installed. Seat the dust boot
in the piston groove, behind the pressed-on steel ring.
4. Install the caliper over the rotor.

Brake Caliper: Fundamentals and Basics Removal Notes
When Removing the Caliper, Remember...
- Prior to removing the calipers, remove/siphon brake fluid from master-cylinder until the reservoir
is only 1/3 full.
- Brake fluid will remove paint and damage electrical connections. Use a drip pan and fender
covers to protect the vehicle's finish and electrical system.
- Always replace all brake linings on an axle. Never replace only one wheel. Unequal lining
thickness between wheels on the same axle will result in a strong steering pull when the brakes are
applied.
- Work on one side at a time. If you forget how to reassemble the parts you can always use the
other side as a model.
- When forcing the piston back into the caliper, open the bleeder valve first. Corrosion and other
deposits accumulate inside of the caliper. If the bleeder valve is not opened when the piston is
forced back into the caliper, these deposits will be forced back through the brake lines and into the
master-cylinder.
When pushing the pistons back into the caliper with the bleeder screw open, a stream of brake fluid
will be expelled from the bleeder screw for 2-3 feet. Use a drip pan and be careful not to "shoot"
brake fluid onto the vehicle's finish. A cleaner method is to use a piece of clear plastic hose and a
glass or plastic jar to catch the expelled fluid.
- Upon removal, Do Not allow the calipers to hang by the flexible brake hoses. The brake hoses
can be damaged easily by this practice. These hoses are double walled, damage to the interior
pressure hose will not be visible.
- Do not depress the brake pedal with either caliper removed from the rotor. The caliper pistons will
be inadvertently expelled from the caliper. If this occurs rebuild or replace the caliper, do not
attempt to insert the piston back into the caliper.

Brake Caliper: Fundamentals and Basics Installation Notes
WHEN INSTALLING CALIPERS AND PADS, REMEMBER...
- Clean and lubricate caliper slide joint/pins with high temperature silicone grease:
Unlike drum brakes, disc brakes do not utilize a spring to withdraw the pads/linings when the brake
pedal is released. Disc brakes rely on the elasticity of the piston seals, and the unrestricted
movement of the caliper slide assemblies to release the brakes.
If the slide joints/pins are not cleaned and lubricated properly the disc brake linings will drag upon
the release of the brake pedal. This will result in overheated brakes and premature brake wear.
Disc Brake Mechanical Force Diagram
NOTE: Floating calipers require free and unrestricted movement on the caliper mounting. Floating
or sliding calipers have pistons only on one side of the rotor. The first part of the piston's travel
forces the inner pad against the rotor, then further travel forces the movable part of the caliper to
pull the outer pad against the rotor.
High temperature silicone lubricant must be used. Low temperature grease can melt and
contaminate the pads and rotors, or can bake into a very hard substance which binds the slides.
Petroleum based grease can cause the slide boots to soften and swell.
Work on one side at a time. If you forget how to reassemble the parts you can always use the other
side as a model.
Anti-squeal Coating
- Apply an anti-squeal coating to the back side of the pads/linings. This coatings acts as an
insulator to dampen high frequency vibrations that are generated during normal braking. These
compounds are highly effective in preventing brake squeal.
- Many professional repair shops recommend always rebuilding or replacing the calipers when
replacing the brake linings, because:
When the pistons are forced back into the calipers, the piston seals are dragged across any
corrosion or abrasives that may be deposited on the inside of the caliper.
Damage to the seals may not be initially evident. As the new brake linings begin to wear, the piston
is gradually withdrawn from the caliper.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Hydraulic System, Brakes > Brake Caliper > Component
Information > Fundamentals and Basics > Removal Notes > Page 5235
This results in the piston seals again being dragged across the layer of corrosion and deposits.
Calipers which are not rebuilt or replaced have a higher probability of sticking or leaking.
- Check to ensure the bleeder screw is not frozen prior to reinstalling caliper. Freeing a stuck
bleeder screw is much easier with the caliper removed from the vehicle.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to include 1992 model vehicles.
ISSUE: The wet appearance of the outer cover of rubber brake hoses is called "sweating." This is a
normal condition for neoprene rayon braid hose. The "sweating" condition is not evidence of a
brake fluid leak and will not result in a loss of pressure in the system.
ACTION: No action is required for a normal "sweating" brake hose. However, to test for a hydraulic
fluid leak, proceed as follows:
1. Check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder. If necessary, add brake fluid.
2. Wipe off the hose(s) in question with a clean cloth and an all purpose cleaner, then dry.
3. With the engine running, fully depress the brake twice and hold for two (2) minutes. ^
If the pedal goes down, check all of the connections for leaks and repair as required.
^ If the pedal goes down and no visible leaks are seen, then the master cylinder is leaking
internally and must be replaced or rebuilt. Refer to the appropriate Light Truck or Medium/Heavy
Truck Shop Manual, Section 6 or 12 (Light Truck) and Section 12 (Med./Hvy Truck) for service
details.

Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Description and Operation
EXCEPT AEROSTAR, BRONCO II & 1983---87 RANGER These vehicles use a pressure
differential valve, a metering valve (1980---84) and a proportioning valve which are combined in a
single unit. These valves sense unbalanced pressure between front and rear brakes. Loss of
pressure in either the primary or secondary brake system causes pressure differential valve to
move off center and illuminate brake warning light. After system is replaced and brakes are bled,
the valve centers itself, turning off warning light. The brake warning light switch is mounted on top of
the valve body casting above the pressure differential valve tapered shoulder groove. When the
valve is centered, spring loaded switch plunger fits into the tapered shoulder groove. The switch
contacts are open, interrupting electrical continuity to the brake warning light on the instrument
panel. The metering valve is located in the front end of the control valve housing between the front
brake system inlet port and the right and left front brake outlet ports. This valve regulates hydraulic
fluid pressure to the front disc brakes. The proportioning valve used on some models is located at
the bottom of the housing between the rear brake system inlet and outlet ports. This valve regulates

Brake Master Cylinder: Description and Operation
Master Cylinder
The dual master cylinder contains a double hydraulic cylinder with two fluid reservoirs, and primary
and secondary hydraulic pistons.
The dual master cylinder performs in the following manner:
Rear wheel brakes - are connected to the secondary outlet port and are actuated by the secondary
piston assembly.
Front wheel brakes - are connected to the primary outlet port (nearest the dash panel) and are
actuated by the primary piston assembly.
Both primary and secondary pistons function together.

Brake Master Cylinder: Testing and Inspection
INSPECTION
Inspect for Leakage
NOTE: The master cylinder should be cleaned thoroughly prior to inspection (several days
preferably). Spilled brake fluid can be easily confused with leakage.
Piston Seals Leakage around the piston seals will seep out from the end of the cylinder and leak down the
outside of the brake booster.
- Inspect for signs of seepage or bubbled paint on the brake booster.
- If any leakage is detected the master cylinder should be replaced or overhauled
Brake Line Fittings While someone is applying pressure to the brake pedal, inspect the brake line fittings on the master
cylinder for leakage.
- If the fittings are leaking they should be disassembled and inspected.
Reservoir to Cylinder Gasket Inspect the gasket for signs of leakage or hardening and cracking.
- Overhaul or replace the master cylinder if any leakage is indicated.
Inspect for Oil Contamination.
- Inspect the rubber gasket on the inside of the master cylinder lid. If the gasket is swollen or
bloated, the brake fluid is contaminated with oil.
- Siphon or scoop a small amount of brake fluid out of the master cylinder and place into a
styrofoam cup filled 2/3 of the way with water. Brake fluid will mix with the water while oil
contaminants will float on the surface and dissolve the styrofoam.
NOTE: If any oil contamination is present ALL brake components containing rubber seals will need
to be replaced or overhauled. This includes the master cylinder, both front brake calipers, both rear
wheel-cylinders, and all flexible brake hoses.
Verify Hold-Down Bolts Are Tight
While someone is applying and releasing pressure to the brake pedal, verify the the master
cylinder is tightly secured to the brake booster.
- Retighten hold-down bolts if necessary.
Functional Checks
WARNING: Always bleed the entire brake system and verify the rear brakes are properly adjusted
prior to diagnosing a master cylinder as defective. For additional information see Master-Cylinder /
Brake Pedal Relationship.
Check Related Systems -
Check for proper brake booster operation 1. With the engine "OFF", depress and release the brake
pedal 4-5 times (this bleeds off the vacuum reserve in the booster). 2. Depress the brake pedal
firmly and start the engine.
If the pedal goes down slightly the brake booster is assisting in brake operation. If the pedal does
not go down slightly the brake booster is not assisting in brake operation and should be diagnosed
for problems.
- Check and adjust rear brakes.
- Check all brake lines and brake assemblies for leakage.
Repair all deficiencies with related systems prior to diagnosing the master cylinder as defective.
Check Brake Pedal Travel (Non-Antilock Brake Systems Only) Fully depress the brake pedal and check for the following: The pedal should have a 75% reserve.

Vacuum Brake Booster: Description and Operation
The single and tandem vacuum boosters are self contained vacuum hydraulic power braking units.
These are vacuum suspended units that use vacuum and atmospheric pressure for their power. On
gasoline engine vehicles, vacuum is supplied through a fitting in the intake manifold. On diesel
engine vehicles, vacuum is supplied through a vacuum pump. The three basic elements of the
booster are the vacuum power chamber, mechanically actuated booster check valve and a
hydraulic dual master cylinder which supplies hydraulic pressure to the brake system. The vacuum
power chamber consists of a front and rear shell, diaphragm, diaphragm plate, hydraulic pushrod
and vacuum diaphragm return spring. The mechanically actuated booster check valve controls the
degree of power brake application in accordance with foot pressure applied to the valve operating
rod through the brake pedal linkage. This valve is integral with the vacuum power diaphragm.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to correct the service parts for the Caster
Adjusters.
ISSUE: Two new alignment adjusters are now available for service. These new parts provide one
degree of caster adjustment along with one degree of camber. Steering pull may be caused by
caster split. The affected trucks are 4x4 Twin Traction Beam vehicles.
ACTION: Use the following procedure to determine the position of the service adjuster sleeve.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for installation details.
The new alignment adjusters are similiar to the current camber adjusters. The one exception is the
rotational position of the adjuster sleeve to obtain the desired adjustment.
ADJUSTER SLEEVE APPLICATION FOR RANGER BRONCO II, BRONCO, AND F-150
1. Measure and record the alignment readings.
2. Determine what alignment adjuster sleeves are on the truck.
NOTE: IF AFTERMARKET ADJUSTER SLEEVES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, IT WILL BE
NECESSARY TO FIND OUT WHAT CASTER AND CAMBER SLEEVES WERE USED.
If the adjuster sleeve is not marked or cannot be identified, install a 0 degree adjuster sleeve to use
as a reference point.
3. Determine what adjuster sleeve change is required. Take your desired alignment (what you want
to end up with) and compare it to the readings taken in Step 1 to determine the change.
4. Pick the adjuster sleeve that will get you the closest to the desired alignment.
5. Install and position the adjuster sleeve, Figure 1.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for service details. See the

LIGHT TRUCK 1980-86 F-150 (4x4), BRONCO ISSUE:
A steering drift or pull may be caused by excessive front wheel side-to-side caster angle
differences.
ACTION: If a front axle alignment check shows excessive (more than 3/4 degree split) side-to-side
caster angle difference causing the vehicle to drift or pull, install a new caster adjustment kit
(E0TZ-3K064-A) which allows the front axle side-to-side caster angles to be changed up to 2-1/2
degrees in 1/2 degree increments. New front axle to radius arm brackets must also be replaced
when the caster kit is installed. Refer to the following service procedure for step-by-step
instructions.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE DOING WORK ON THE VEHICLE.
To correct caster side-to-side difference of up to 1- 1/2 degrees, install a caster adjuster plate on
the radius arm that has the lower caster reading. Adjuster plates are identified R.H. and L.H.
To correct caster side-to-side difference more than 1-1/2 degrees, install the caster plate on both
radius arms. Installing both plates will allow a caster split change of 2-1/2 degrees (+1-1/2 degrees
on the low caster side, -1 degree on the high caster side).
1. Remove radius arm from vehicle.
Figure 14 - Article 87-4-16
2. Locate the template, included in the kit, on the bottom flange of radius arm over the existing
holes, as shown in Figure 14.
NOTE: Right arm adjustment is shown. One template is used to modify both right and left hand
arms. When modifying right arm, position template with printed side down (printed side up for left
arm).

STEERING - DRIFT/PULL - RUBBER BALL SOCKET LINKAGE WIND-UP
LIGHT TRUCK 1985-86 E, F SERIES, BRONCO
Complaints of drifts and pulls on certain 1985-86 E, F Series and Bronco models may be caused
by the installation procedure of the steering linkage. BECAUSE THE RUBBER TENDS TO
RETURN TO ITS INSTALLED POSITION, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE INSTALLATION BE
ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE FRONT WHEELS AND THE PITMAN ARM IN THE STRAIGHT
AHEAD POSITION, AND THE STUD SEATED IN THE TAPERED HOLE PRIOR TO TIGHTENING
THE NUTS. Care should be taken with the installation to prevent a drift condition.
To diagnose if a preload in the rubber is causing the drift, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Loosen the studs in the tapered holes at the pitman arm and the left and right spindles (i.e.,
disengage the stud from the hole so that it is no longer seated).
2. Hand install the nuts so that the stud is free to turn inside the tapered hole.
3. INSTALL COTTER PINS IN ALL THE STUDS.
4. Drive the vehicle. If it no longer drifts, then it can be assumed that the rubber was causing the
drift. If it continues to drift, the condition is NOT being caused by the rubber ball sockets.
5. In either case, do not replace the steering linkage.
Reinstall the linkage as follows:
F Series and Bronco
1. Ensure the pitman arm and wheels are in the straight ahead position. (The pitman arm is exactly
straight ahead when the clear vision is at 0~.)
2. Lock the steering wheel straight ahead and loose assemble the steering linkage to the pitman
arm and then to the spindles.
3. Being careful not to change the position of the pitman arm, torque the steering linkage nuts to 65
ft.lbs. (88.1 N-m) The recommended sequence for tightening is: 1) the pitman arm, 2) the right side
spindle and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in if necessary.
Econoline
1. Ensure that the wheels are in the straight ahead position.
2. Loose assemble the steering linkage to the spindles and the pitman arm.
3. Being careful not to move the wheels from the straight ahead position, torque the steering
linkage nuts to 65 ft.lbs. The recommended tightening sequence is: 1) the right side spindle, 2) the
pitman arm and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in and reset the clear vision if necessary.
The above procedure will eliminate any of the drift being caused by the rubber ball sockets. If the
vehicle still drifts, refer to Section 19 of the Light Truck Shop Manual for further diagnosis.

STEERING - DRIFT/PULL CASTER SPLIT ADJUSTMENT
LIGHT TRUCK 1980-86 F250-350 4x2; 1976-86 E100-350
A side-to-side front wheel caster difference greater than 3/4 degree can contribute to a vehicle drift
or pull in the direction of the side with less caster. The service kit (E5TZ-3K064-A) can be used to
increase the front wheel caster angle on either or both wheels to balance the caster split to correct
a vehicle drift/pull concern. The kit contains complete parts and instructions needed to modify the
front radius arm and mount a metal cam on the bottom flange of the radius arm. The kit can
increase caster from 1/2 degree to 3 degrees, in 1/2 degree increments. It is not designed to
decrease caster.
To increase front wheel caster angle of subject vehicles and/or to balance a caster split, the
following procedure is suggested:
1. Remove the radius arm from the vehicle as shown in Section 14-21 of the Reference Shop
Manual and choose the appropriate paper template applicable to the vehicle model.
Figure 8 - POSITIONING TEMPLATE TO LOWER FLANGE OF RADIUS ARM
2. Locate the template (3B474) on the bottom flange of the radius arm. Refer to Figure 8 for a
typical arm modification for the right hand radius arm. One template per vehicle model is used to
modify both the right and left hand radius arms. When modifying the right hand arm, position the

template with the printed side downward. The template locates off of one of two existing holes in
the radius arm. The E100-350 template is shaped to match the contours of the radius arm.

3. With template secure, make a punch mark at the center of the small hole inside the printed
circle. Scribe the slot printed/cut-out on the template and die-grind out the slot at the axle-attaching
hole the same size as the slot in the template and de-burr the surface avoiding rounding the edges
of the slot. Refer to Figure 9.

Figure 10 - ATTACHMENT OF ADJUSTING CAM TO RADIUS ARM
4. Drill a 0.228 inch diameter hole at the punch mark. Use this hole to mount the adjusting cam with
the 1/4-20 self-tapping screw supplied. Refer to Figure 10.
5. Figure 10 shows a typical cam installation. Each hole in the cam represents a 1/2 degree caster
increase. A caster increase of approximately 2 degrees for the E100-350, for example, will be
obtained by mounting the cam with the selftapping screw in the No. 2 hole of the cam to the lower
flange of the radius arm.

6. Figure 11 shows a typical vehicle installation. TORQUE BOLT "A" AND NUT "B" TO 270-330
FT. LBS. When increasing caster 2 degrees or more, the ears of the radius arm should be bent
upward slightly to help install and seat the axles. Do not use heat to bend.
7. Reset front wheel toe after installation is complete. AFTER THE DESIRED ALIGNMENT IS
ASSURED THE CAM MUST BE WELDED TO THE ARM ARC WELD ONE INCH MINIMUM
LENGTH ALONG TWO SIDES OF THE CAM.

LIGHT TRUCK 1980-86 F-150 (4x4), BRONCO ISSUE:
A steering drift or pull may be caused by excessive front wheel side-to-side caster angle
differences.
ACTION: If a front axle alignment check shows excessive (more than 3/4 degree split) side-to-side
caster angle difference causing the vehicle to drift or pull, install a new caster adjustment kit
(E0TZ-3K064-A) which allows the front axle side-to-side caster angles to be changed up to 2-1/2
degrees in 1/2 degree increments. New front axle to radius arm brackets must also be replaced
when the caster kit is installed. Refer to the following service procedure for step-by-step
instructions.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE DOING WORK ON THE VEHICLE.
To correct caster side-to-side difference of up to 1- 1/2 degrees, install a caster adjuster plate on
the radius arm that has the lower caster reading. Adjuster plates are identified R.H. and L.H.
To correct caster side-to-side difference more than 1-1/2 degrees, install the caster plate on both
radius arms. Installing both plates will allow a caster split change of 2-1/2 degrees (+1-1/2 degrees
on the low caster side, -1 degree on the high caster side).
1. Remove radius arm from vehicle.
Figure 14 - Article 87-4-16
2. Locate the template, included in the kit, on the bottom flange of radius arm over the existing
holes, as shown in Figure 14.
NOTE: Right arm adjustment is shown. One template is used to modify both right and left hand
arms. When modifying right arm, position template with printed side down (printed side up for left
arm).

Certain model vehicles have a significant weight change on the front axle between manufacture by
Ford and placement into service. This occurs when incomplete vehicles are completed by a body
company or when equipment is added to a complete vehicle (i.e., winches, plows, tool boxes, etc.).
This weight change can affect toe setting so these vehicles require that toe be reset.

STEERING - DRIFT/PULL - RUBBER BALL SOCKET LINKAGE WIND-UP
LIGHT TRUCK 1985-86 E, F SERIES, BRONCO
Complaints of drifts and pulls on certain 1985-86 E, F Series and Bronco models may be caused
by the installation procedure of the steering linkage. BECAUSE THE RUBBER TENDS TO
RETURN TO ITS INSTALLED POSITION, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE INSTALLATION BE
ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE FRONT WHEELS AND THE PITMAN ARM IN THE STRAIGHT
AHEAD POSITION, AND THE STUD SEATED IN THE TAPERED HOLE PRIOR TO TIGHTENING
THE NUTS. Care should be taken with the installation to prevent a drift condition.
To diagnose if a preload in the rubber is causing the drift, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Loosen the studs in the tapered holes at the pitman arm and the left and right spindles (i.e.,
disengage the stud from the hole so that it is no longer seated).
2. Hand install the nuts so that the stud is free to turn inside the tapered hole.
3. INSTALL COTTER PINS IN ALL THE STUDS.
4. Drive the vehicle. If it no longer drifts, then it can be assumed that the rubber was causing the
drift. If it continues to drift, the condition is NOT being caused by the rubber ball sockets.
5. In either case, do not replace the steering linkage.
Reinstall the linkage as follows:
F Series and Bronco
1. Ensure the pitman arm and wheels are in the straight ahead position. (The pitman arm is exactly
straight ahead when the clear vision is at 0~.)
2. Lock the steering wheel straight ahead and loose assemble the steering linkage to the pitman
arm and then to the spindles.
3. Being careful not to change the position of the pitman arm, torque the steering linkage nuts to 65
ft.lbs. (88.1 N-m) The recommended sequence for tightening is: 1) the pitman arm, 2) the right side
spindle and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in if necessary.
Econoline
1. Ensure that the wheels are in the straight ahead position.
2. Loose assemble the steering linkage to the spindles and the pitman arm.
3. Being careful not to move the wheels from the straight ahead position, torque the steering
linkage nuts to 65 ft.lbs. The recommended tightening sequence is: 1) the right side spindle, 2) the
pitman arm and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in and reset the clear vision if necessary.
The above procedure will eliminate any of the drift being caused by the rubber ball sockets. If the
vehicle still drifts, refer to Section 19 of the Light Truck Shop Manual for further diagnosis.

STEERING - DRIFT/PULL CASTER SPLIT ADJUSTMENT
LIGHT TRUCK 1980-86 F250-350 4x2; 1976-86 E100-350
A side-to-side front wheel caster difference greater than 3/4 degree can contribute to a vehicle drift
or pull in the direction of the side with less caster. The service kit (E5TZ-3K064-A) can be used to
increase the front wheel caster angle on either or both wheels to balance the caster split to correct
a vehicle drift/pull concern. The kit contains complete parts and instructions needed to modify the
front radius arm and mount a metal cam on the bottom flange of the radius arm. The kit can
increase caster from 1/2 degree to 3 degrees, in 1/2 degree increments. It is not designed to
decrease caster.
To increase front wheel caster angle of subject vehicles and/or to balance a caster split, the
following procedure is suggested:
1. Remove the radius arm from the vehicle as shown in Section 14-21 of the Reference Shop
Manual and choose the appropriate paper template applicable to the vehicle model.
Figure 8 - POSITIONING TEMPLATE TO LOWER FLANGE OF RADIUS ARM
2. Locate the template (3B474) on the bottom flange of the radius arm. Refer to Figure 8 for a
typical arm modification for the right hand radius arm. One template per vehicle model is used to
modify both the right and left hand radius arms. When modifying the right hand arm, position the

template with the printed side downward. The template locates off of one of two existing holes in
the radius arm. The E100-350 template is shaped to match the contours of the radius arm.

3. With template secure, make a punch mark at the center of the small hole inside the printed
circle. Scribe the slot printed/cut-out on the template and die-grind out the slot at the axle-attaching
hole the same size as the slot in the template and de-burr the surface avoiding rounding the edges
of the slot. Refer to Figure 9.

4. Drill a 0.228 inch diameter hole at the punch mark. Use this hole to mount the adjusting cam with
the 1/4-20 self-tapping screw supplied. Refer to Figure 10.
5. Figure 10 shows a typical cam installation. Each hole in the cam represents a 1/2 degree caster
increase. A caster increase of approximately 2 degrees for the E100-350, for example, will be
obtained by mounting the cam with the selftapping screw in the No. 2 hole of the cam to the lower
flange of the radius arm.

LIGHT TRUCK 1980-86 F-150 (4x4), BRONCO ISSUE:
A steering drift or pull may be caused by excessive front wheel side-to-side caster angle
differences.
ACTION: If a front axle alignment check shows excessive (more than 3/4 degree split) side-to-side
caster angle difference causing the vehicle to drift or pull, install a new caster adjustment kit
(E0TZ-3K064-A) which allows the front axle side-to-side caster angles to be changed up to 2-1/2
degrees in 1/2 degree increments. New front axle to radius arm brackets must also be replaced
when the caster kit is installed. Refer to the following service procedure for step-by-step
instructions.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE DOING WORK ON THE VEHICLE.
To correct caster side-to-side difference of up to 1- 1/2 degrees, install a caster adjuster plate on
the radius arm that has the lower caster reading. Adjuster plates are identified R.H. and L.H.
To correct caster side-to-side difference more than 1-1/2 degrees, install the caster plate on both
radius arms. Installing both plates will allow a caster split change of 2-1/2 degrees (+1-1/2 degrees
on the low caster side, -1 degree on the high caster side).
1. Remove radius arm from vehicle.

STEERING - DRIFT/PULL - RUBBER BALL SOCKET LINKAGE WIND-UP
LIGHT TRUCK 1985-86 E, F SERIES, BRONCO
Complaints of drifts and pulls on certain 1985-86 E, F Series and Bronco models may be caused
by the installation procedure of the steering linkage. BECAUSE THE RUBBER TENDS TO
RETURN TO ITS INSTALLED POSITION, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE INSTALLATION BE
ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE FRONT WHEELS AND THE PITMAN ARM IN THE STRAIGHT
AHEAD POSITION, AND THE STUD SEATED IN THE TAPERED HOLE PRIOR TO TIGHTENING
THE NUTS. Care should be taken with the installation to prevent a drift condition.
To diagnose if a preload in the rubber is causing the drift, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Loosen the studs in the tapered holes at the pitman arm and the left and right spindles (i.e.,
disengage the stud from the hole so that it is no longer seated).
2. Hand install the nuts so that the stud is free to turn inside the tapered hole.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Other Service Bulletins for Alignment: > Page 5594
3. INSTALL COTTER PINS IN ALL THE STUDS.
4. Drive the vehicle. If it no longer drifts, then it can be assumed that the rubber was causing the
drift. If it continues to drift, the condition is NOT being caused by the rubber ball sockets.
5. In either case, do not replace the steering linkage.
Reinstall the linkage as follows:
F Series and Bronco
1. Ensure the pitman arm and wheels are in the straight ahead position. (The pitman arm is exactly
straight ahead when the clear vision is at 0~.)
2. Lock the steering wheel straight ahead and loose assemble the steering linkage to the pitman
arm and then to the spindles.
3. Being careful not to change the position of the pitman arm, torque the steering linkage nuts to 65
ft.lbs. (88.1 N-m) The recommended sequence for tightening is: 1) the pitman arm, 2) the right side
spindle and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in if necessary.
Econoline
1. Ensure that the wheels are in the straight ahead position.
2. Loose assemble the steering linkage to the spindles and the pitman arm.
3. Being careful not to move the wheels from the straight ahead position, torque the steering
linkage nuts to 65 ft.lbs. The recommended tightening sequence is: 1) the right side spindle, 2) the
pitman arm and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in and reset the clear vision if necessary.
The above procedure will eliminate any of the drift being caused by the rubber ball sockets. If the
vehicle still drifts, refer to Section 19 of the Light Truck Shop Manual for further diagnosis.

LIGHT TRUCK 1980-86 F250-350 4x2; 1976-86 E100-350
A side-to-side front wheel caster difference greater than 3/4 degree can contribute to a vehicle drift
or pull in the direction of the side with less caster. The service kit (E5TZ-3K064-A) can be used to
increase the front wheel caster angle on either or both wheels to balance the caster split to correct
a vehicle drift/pull concern. The kit contains complete parts and instructions needed to modify the
front radius arm and mount a metal cam on the bottom flange of the radius arm. The kit can
increase caster from 1/2 degree to 3 degrees, in 1/2 degree increments. It is not designed to
decrease caster.
To increase front wheel caster angle of subject vehicles and/or to balance a caster split, the
following procedure is suggested:
1. Remove the radius arm from the vehicle as shown in Section 14-21 of the Reference Shop
Manual and choose the appropriate paper template applicable to the vehicle model.

2. Locate the template (3B474) on the bottom flange of the radius arm. Refer to Figure 8 for a
typical arm modification for the right hand radius arm. One template per vehicle model is used to
modify both the right and left hand radius arms. When modifying the right hand arm, position the
template with the printed side downward. The template locates off of one of two existing holes in
the radius arm. The E100-350 template is shaped to match the contours of the radius arm.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to correct the service parts for the Caster
Adjusters.
ISSUE: Two new alignment adjusters are now available for service. These new parts provide one
degree of caster adjustment along with one degree of camber. Steering pull may be caused by
caster split. The affected trucks are 4x4 Twin Traction Beam vehicles.
ACTION: Use the following procedure to determine the position of the service adjuster sleeve.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for installation details.
The new alignment adjusters are similiar to the current camber adjusters. The one exception is the
rotational position of the adjuster sleeve to obtain the desired adjustment.
ADJUSTER SLEEVE APPLICATION FOR RANGER BRONCO II, BRONCO, AND F-150
1. Measure and record the alignment readings.
2. Determine what alignment adjuster sleeves are on the truck.
NOTE: IF AFTERMARKET ADJUSTER SLEEVES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, IT WILL BE
NECESSARY TO FIND OUT WHAT CASTER AND CAMBER SLEEVES WERE USED.
If the adjuster sleeve is not marked or cannot be identified, install a 0 degree adjuster sleeve to use
as a reference point.
3. Determine what adjuster sleeve change is required. Take your desired alignment (what you want
to end up with) and compare it to the readings taken in Step 1 to determine the change.
4. Pick the adjuster sleeve that will get you the closest to the desired alignment.
5. Install and position the adjuster sleeve, Figure

differences.
ACTION: If a front axle alignment check shows excessive (more than 3/4 degree split) side-to-side
caster angle difference causing the vehicle to drift or pull, install a new caster adjustment kit
(E0TZ-3K064-A) which allows the front axle side-to-side caster angles to be changed up to 2-1/2
degrees in 1/2 degree increments. New front axle to radius arm brackets must also be replaced
when the caster kit is installed. Refer to the following service procedure for step-by-step
instructions.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE DOING WORK ON THE VEHICLE.
To correct caster side-to-side difference of up to 1- 1/2 degrees, install a caster adjuster plate on
the radius arm that has the lower caster reading. Adjuster plates are identified R.H. and L.H.
To correct caster side-to-side difference more than 1-1/2 degrees, install the caster plate on both
radius arms. Installing both plates will allow a caster split change of 2-1/2 degrees (+1-1/2 degrees
on the low caster side, -1 degree on the high caster side).
1. Remove radius arm from vehicle.

STEERING - DRIFT/PULL - RUBBER BALL SOCKET LINKAGE WIND-UP
LIGHT TRUCK 1985-86 E, F SERIES, BRONCO
Complaints of drifts and pulls on certain 1985-86 E, F Series and Bronco models may be caused
by the installation procedure of the steering linkage. BECAUSE THE RUBBER TENDS TO
RETURN TO ITS INSTALLED POSITION, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE INSTALLATION BE
ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE FRONT WHEELS AND THE PITMAN ARM IN THE STRAIGHT
AHEAD POSITION, AND THE STUD SEATED IN THE TAPERED HOLE PRIOR TO TIGHTENING
THE NUTS. Care should be taken with the installation to prevent a drift condition.
To diagnose if a preload in the rubber is causing the drift, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Loosen the studs in the tapered holes at the pitman arm and the left and right spindles (i.e.,
disengage the stud from the hole so that it is no longer seated).
2. Hand install the nuts so that the stud is free to turn inside the tapered hole.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Other Service Bulletins for Alignment: > Page 5610
3. INSTALL COTTER PINS IN ALL THE STUDS.
4. Drive the vehicle. If it no longer drifts, then it can be assumed that the rubber was causing the
drift. If it continues to drift, the condition is NOT being caused by the rubber ball sockets.
5. In either case, do not replace the steering linkage.
Reinstall the linkage as follows:
F Series and Bronco
1. Ensure the pitman arm and wheels are in the straight ahead position. (The pitman arm is exactly
straight ahead when the clear vision is at 0~.)
2. Lock the steering wheel straight ahead and loose assemble the steering linkage to the pitman
arm and then to the spindles.
3. Being careful not to change the position of the pitman arm, torque the steering linkage nuts to 65
ft.lbs. (88.1 N-m) The recommended sequence for tightening is: 1) the pitman arm, 2) the right side
spindle and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in if necessary.
Econoline
1. Ensure that the wheels are in the straight ahead position.
2. Loose assemble the steering linkage to the spindles and the pitman arm.
3. Being careful not to move the wheels from the straight ahead position, torque the steering
linkage nuts to 65 ft.lbs. The recommended tightening sequence is: 1) the right side spindle, 2) the
pitman arm and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in and reset the clear vision if necessary.
The above procedure will eliminate any of the drift being caused by the rubber ball sockets. If the
vehicle still drifts, refer to Section 19 of the Light Truck Shop Manual for further diagnosis.

Fig. 8 Measuring Riding Height
Prior to checking caster and camber, ensure vehicle front ride height is within {1/8} inch side to side
1980-87 E-100-350. On 1980-87 F-100-350 models, the left side ride height should be within
0-{3/8} inch higher than the right side ride height. On 1980-87 F-150-350 (4x4) and Bronco, the
front ride heights should be within {3/16} inch side to side. Refer to Figs. 6, 7 and 8. If the vehicle
ride heights are not within specifications, redistribute load on loaded vehicles or slightly load empty
vehicles on one side. If the ride heights cannot be brought within specifications, verify correct
spring installation. The ride height variations stated, are for checking purposes only. The vehicle
does not have to operate within these specifications. Check and correct as necessary all tire
inflation pressures, then check front tires for the same size, ply rating and load range. Check front
wheel bearings and adjust as necessary. If all the above checks have been made, check wheel
alignment with suitable alignment equipment. Using the ride heights obtained earlier, compare
caster and camber readings to those listed in the ``Wheel Alignment Specifications Chart''. If the
caster and camber angles exceed the specifications, inspect front end for damaged suspension
components. Replace as necessary. Alignment equipment indicates a true reading only when the
vehicle's frame is horizontal. Therefore, if the frame is not level (due to tire, spring or load
differences), the caster angle reading must be modified to compensate for the frame angles. If the
front is higher than the rear, subtract the amount of angle from the reading. If the front is lower than
the rear, add the angle. To check frame angle, use a spirit protractor, and take the frame angle
measurement on the lower frame flange at the flat area immediately adjacent to the rear spring
front hanger.

1980-87 F-150-350 4 X 4 & BRONCO, 1982-87 F-100-350 4 X 2 W/BALL JOINTS The caster angle
on 1981-87 F-250-350 4 x 4 models with leaf spring front suspension can be adjusted by inserting a
shim between the spring and axle. Shims are available in increments of 0°, 1° and 2°. The 0° shim
is used to adjust side to side ride height when an angled shim is installed on the opposite side of the
axle. On all other models, the caster angle is designed into the axle and is not adjustable. The
camber angle may be adjusted by means of mounting sleeves placed on the upper ball joint, Figs.
9, 10 and 11. Four sleeves are available in {1/2}° camber increments to allow a 3° range of
adjustment from - 1 {1/2}° to +1 {1/2}°.
TOE-IN, ADJUST Check the steering wheel spoke position when the front wheels are in the
straight ahead position. If the spokes are not in the normal position, they can be adjusted while
toe-in is being adjusted.
1. Loosen clamp bolts on each tie rod end sleeve.
2. Adjust toe-in. If steering wheel spokes are in their normal position, lengthen or shorten both rods
equally to obtain correct toe-in. If spokes are not in normal position, make necessary rod
adjustments to obtain correct toe-in and steering wheel spoke alignment.

Information > Service and Repair
Power Steering Bleeding: Service and Repair
Four factors affect power operation of the steering system: fluid level and condition, drive belt
tension, pump pressure and steering gear adjustment. These should always be checked before
any major service operations are performed. Conditions such as, hard or loose steering, road
shock or vibrations are not always due to steering gear or pump, but are often related instead to
such factors as low tire pressure and front end alignment. These factors should be checked and
corrected before any adjustment of the steering gear is made.
CHECKING FLUID LEVEL
1. Run engine to normal operating temperature, then shut it off. Remove reservoir filler cap and
check oil level on dipstick. Level should be up to ``Full'' mark on dipstick.
2. If level is low, add power steering fluid to proper level on dipstick and replace filler cap. When
adding less than one pint of fluid, it is permissible to use automatic transmission fluid. When adding
larger quantities or when making a complete fluid change, it is recommended that special power
steering fluid be used.
3. When checking fluid level after system has been serviced, air must be bled from the system as
outlined under ``Bleeding System.''
BLEEDING SYSTEM
1. With wheels turned all the way to the left, add the recommended fluid to the ``Add'' mark on
dipstick.
2. Start engine. While running at fast idle, recheck fluid level and, if necessary, add fluid to the
``Add'' mark on dipstick.
3. Bleed system by turning wheels from side to side without hitting stops. Maintain fluid level just
above internal pump casting. Fluid with air in it will have a light tan appearance. This air must be
eliminated from fluid before normal steering action can be obtained.
4. Return wheels to center position and continue to run engine for two or three minutes, then shut it
off.
5. Road test vehicle to make sure steering functions normally and is free from noise.
6. Recheck fluid level, making sure level is at the ``Full'' mark.

1. Clean all parts except the drive shaft oil seal in cleaning fluid. The seal will be damaged if
immersed in cleaning fluid.
2. Check fit of vanes in slots of rotor for tightness or excessive looseness. Vanes must fit snugly
but slide freely in slots in rotor. Tight fit of vanes in rotor can usually be corrected by thorough
cleaning. Replace rotor if excessive looseness exists between rotor and vanes. Replace vanes if
worn or scored.
3. Examine machined surfaces of pump ring for roughness or wear. Replace ring if roughness
cannot be corrected with crocus cloth.
4. Inspect thrust plate, pressure plate and end plate for wear, scores or other damage.
5. Inspect pump housing for cracks or damage. Check housing for evidence of wear or scoring.
6. Check all springs for free length, distortion or collapsed coils.
7. Inspect located dowel pins for distortion.
8. Examine outer diameter of flow control valve for scoring or roughness. Slight damage may be
cleaned up with crocus cloth. Check valve assembly for freedom of movement in bore of pump
housing.
9. Check all oil passages in pump parts for obstruction. Use a piece of tag wire to clean out holes.
10. Check bushing in pump housing for wear or damage.

Precautions
Steering Column: Service Precautions
When the steering column is installed in the vehicle it is not susceptible to damage through
ordinary use; however, when it is removed, care must be taken during handling. Such actions as a
sharp blow on the end of the steering shaft or shift levers, leaning on the column assembly or
dropping of the assembly could loosen or shear the plastic shear joints or rivets used to maintain
column rigidity. Hammering, jolting or bumping on the steering shaft and gearshift tube must be
avoided during all service operations. If the shear pins are broken, the controlled length of the
telescoping design will be altered making these components unfit for further service. When
removing the steering wheel, only a steering wheel puller designed for this purpose must be used.
It is important that only the specified screws, bolts and nuts be used during the assembly
procedure and torqued to specifications to insure proper breakaway action of the column under
impact. Avoid using excessively long bolts or fasteners as they may prevent a portion of the
steering column from collapsing. When replacing fasteners, replace with ones of the same part
number or equivalent. When removing or installing the steering wheel, ignition switch, lock cylinder,
turn signal switch, neutral start switch, back-up light switch or adjusting column shift manual
transmission linkage refer to the appropriate vehicle chapter.

Precautions > Page 5660
Steering Column: Description and Operation
ENERGY ABSORBING STEERING COLUMNS The energy absorbing function of the steering
column allows the column to collapse at a controlled rate during a severe collision. The collapsing
action reduces the possibility of the steering wheel being driven rearward towards the driver. If the
driver is thrown forward into the steering wheel, the column can collapse even further at the same
controlled rate, thereby reducing the force of impact. Several designs of steering column jackets
are used. There is the slip-tube design which is held together with plastic inserts or rivets that shear
upon impact and allow the column to collapse. And there is the slotted or corrugated mesh design
and bellows type design which shorten in length during impact. The shift tube is a two piece design
which is held together by injections of plastic that form the interconnecting inserts and shear pins.
Under impact, there is a gradual paring away of the inserts by the knife-like edge in the adjoining
tube section. The steering shaft is a two piece assembly. The upper piece is solid and has a double
flattened lower end. The lower piece is hollow and formed to fit over the double flattened section of
the upper piece. The purpose of the double flattened section is to provide continued steering action
even though the shaft is completely collapsed. Upon impact, the shear pins break off and the shaft
gradually telescopes against resistance provided by the plastic injections. The steering column
mounting bracket prevents the column from being shifted towards the driver during impact. It uses
two ``breakaway capsules'' that allow the mounting bracket to slip off its attaching points, allowing
the steering column to compress or yield in a forward direction under a severe impact from the
driver's end.

STEERING - DRIFT/PULL - RUBBER BALL SOCKET LINKAGE WIND-UP
LIGHT TRUCK 1985-86 E, F SERIES, BRONCO
Complaints of drifts and pulls on certain 1985-86 E, F Series and Bronco models may be caused
by the installation procedure of the steering linkage. BECAUSE THE RUBBER TENDS TO
RETURN TO ITS INSTALLED POSITION, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE INSTALLATION BE
ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE FRONT WHEELS AND THE PITMAN ARM IN THE STRAIGHT
AHEAD POSITION, AND THE STUD SEATED IN THE TAPERED HOLE PRIOR TO TIGHTENING
THE NUTS. Care should be taken with the installation to prevent a drift condition.
To diagnose if a preload in the rubber is causing the drift, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Loosen the studs in the tapered holes at the pitman arm and the left and right spindles (i.e.,
disengage the stud from the hole so that it is no longer seated).
2. Hand install the nuts so that the stud is free to turn inside the tapered hole.
3. INSTALL COTTER PINS IN ALL THE STUDS.
4. Drive the vehicle. If it no longer drifts, then it can be assumed that the rubber was causing the
drift. If it continues to drift, the condition is NOT being caused by the rubber ball sockets.
5. In either case, do not replace the steering linkage.
Reinstall the linkage as follows:
F Series and Bronco
1. Ensure the pitman arm and wheels are in the straight ahead position. (The pitman arm is exactly
straight ahead when the clear vision is at 0~.)
2. Lock the steering wheel straight ahead and loose assemble the steering linkage to the pitman
arm and then to the spindles.
3. Being careful not to change the position of the pitman arm, torque the steering linkage nuts to 65
ft.lbs. (88.1 N-m) The recommended sequence for tightening is: 1) the pitman arm, 2) the right side
spindle and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in if necessary.
Econoline
1. Ensure that the wheels are in the straight ahead position.
2. Loose assemble the steering linkage to the spindles and the pitman arm.
3. Being careful not to move the wheels from the straight ahead position, torque the steering
linkage nuts to 65 ft.lbs. The recommended tightening sequence is: 1) the right side spindle, 2) the

4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in and reset the clear vision if necessary.
The above procedure will eliminate any of the drift being caused by the rubber ball sockets. If the
vehicle still drifts, refer to Section 19 of the Light Truck Shop Manual for further diagnosis.

STEERING - DRIFT/PULL - RUBBER BALL SOCKET LINKAGE WIND-UP
LIGHT TRUCK 1985-86 E, F SERIES, BRONCO
Complaints of drifts and pulls on certain 1985-86 E, F Series and Bronco models may be caused
by the installation procedure of the steering linkage. BECAUSE THE RUBBER TENDS TO
RETURN TO ITS INSTALLED POSITION, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE INSTALLATION BE
ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE FRONT WHEELS AND THE PITMAN ARM IN THE STRAIGHT
AHEAD POSITION, AND THE STUD SEATED IN THE TAPERED HOLE PRIOR TO TIGHTENING
THE NUTS. Care should be taken with the installation to prevent a drift condition.
To diagnose if a preload in the rubber is causing the drift, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Loosen the studs in the tapered holes at the pitman arm and the left and right spindles (i.e.,
disengage the stud from the hole so that it is no longer seated).
2. Hand install the nuts so that the stud is free to turn inside the tapered hole.
3. INSTALL COTTER PINS IN ALL THE STUDS.
4. Drive the vehicle. If it no longer drifts, then it can be assumed that the rubber was causing the
drift. If it continues to drift, the condition is NOT being caused by the rubber ball sockets.
5. In either case, do not replace the steering linkage.
Reinstall the linkage as follows:
F Series and Bronco
1. Ensure the pitman arm and wheels are in the straight ahead position. (The pitman arm is exactly
straight ahead when the clear vision is at 0~.)
2. Lock the steering wheel straight ahead and loose assemble the steering linkage to the pitman
arm and then to the spindles.
3. Being careful not to change the position of the pitman arm, torque the steering linkage nuts to 65
ft.lbs. (88.1 N-m) The recommended sequence for tightening is: 1) the pitman arm, 2) the right side
spindle and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in if necessary.
Econoline
1. Ensure that the wheels are in the straight ahead position.
2. Loose assemble the steering linkage to the spindles and the pitman arm.
3. Being careful not to move the wheels from the straight ahead position, torque the steering
linkage nuts to 65 ft.lbs. The recommended tightening sequence is: 1) the right side spindle, 2) the
pitman arm and 3) the left side spindle.
4. Install all the cotter pins by advancing the nut to the next castellation.
5. Adjust the toe-in and reset the clear vision if necessary.
The above procedure will eliminate any of the drift being caused by the rubber ball sockets. If the
vehicle still drifts, refer to Section 19 of the Light Truck Shop Manual for further diagnosis.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1980-94 BRONCO, F-150-350 SERIES 1988-94 F SUPER DUTY, F-47
This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to add certain 1992/94 model year vehicles, to
revise the nut specified in the article and its torque specification, and to expand the diagnostic and
repair procedures contained in the article.
ISSUE:
A "popping/creaking" sound may come from the area of the # 1 crossmember attachment to the left
frame rail. This occurs because of a slip/stick motion at a loose rivet in the lower flange of the
frame near the steering gear. The rivet could be either a standard cold head rivet in light duty
applications or a "huck" rivet, which has the appearance of a large "pop" Civet.
ACTION:
Use the following diagnostic procedure to determine if the noise is originating in this rivet area. If
so, replace the rivet with a nut, bolt and washer assembly. The revised parts increase the clamp
load at the joint, minimizing the motion that causes the noise. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
SOURCES OF VARIOUS FRONT UNDERBODY NOISES:
Various front underbody noises may originate from several different sources. Several noises have
been misdiagnosed as # 1 crossmember rivet "pop/creak" because the noise tends to propagate to
the shock tower area and the shock tower area acts as an amplifier such that the noises all appear
to be coming from that area. Other underbody areas that produce similar noises include:
^ loose or improperly seated shock tower rivets
^ loose or misaligned transmission crossmembers
^ loose radius arm brackets
^ loose axle pivot brackets
Other service bulletins have been published to address the proper repair of these concerns.
DESCRIPTION OF # 1 CROSSMEMBER NOISES:
"Pop/creak" - A metal-to-metal rubbing motion which slip/sticks when a twist is induced into the
frame.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE:
1. INTERVIEW THE CUSTOMER:
a. Understand the customer's description of the noise and of the conditions under which it is heard.
b. Road test the vehicle with the customer to fully understand where, how and when the noise
occurs.
2. DUPLICATE THE NOISE CONCERN:
a. Drive the vehicle around for at least 15 minutes to warm-up and stress the frame joints, so that
any frame noise is more likely to be repeatable in the garage.
b. Test the following situations:
^ Can the noise be duplicated while stationary and on dry pavement by repeatedly turning the
steering wheel from steering stop to steering stop?
Ford F 150 2wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-351 5.8L (1986))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Cross-Member > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Customer Interest for Cross-Member: > 94813 > Apr > 94 > Frame/Crossmember - Snapping/Popping
Noise > Page 5728
^ Can the noise be repeated while on the hoist without the suspension loaded by repeatedly turning
the steering wheel from steering stop to steering stop?
Typically, the twist in the frame can be induced by turning the steering wheel back and forth from
steering stop to steering stop to duplicate the noise at the # 1 crossmember attachment. IF THE
NOISE IS NOT DUPLICATED UNDER ONE OF THESE SITUATIONS, INVESTIGATE OTHER
AREAS FOR THE NOISE BEFORE PROCEEDING TO REPAIR THE # 1 CROSSMEMBER
RIVET.
3. INSPECT FRAME BOLTS FOR PROPER INSTALLATION TORQUE:
a. Inspect and tighten all front end components which bolt to the frame to confirm they are at the
proper torque. This includes, but is not limited to:
^ Radius arm bracket bolts - 135 +/- 20 N-m (100 +/- 15 lb.ft.)
^ Axle pivot bracket bolts (torques vary by model - refer to the appropriate light truck Service
Manual for proper torque specifications)
^ Bumper bracket bolts - (refer to the appropriate light truck Service Manual for proper torque
specifications)
b. Inspect the transmission crossmember for proper alignment and bolt torques. If misaligned:
^ Loosen all transmission crossmember fasteners (including to the transmission).
^ Lift the transmission to remove any load on the crossmember.
^ Lift and reposition the transmission crossmember to be centered on the frame attachment holes.
^ Tighten all frame fasteners to the 63 +/- 9 N-m (46 +/- 7 lb.ft.).
^ Lower the transmission and tighten fasteners to 95 +/- 15 N-m (70 +/- 11 lb.ft.).
4. TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE
Road test the vehicle again to duplicate the concern. If the noise is still present, continue.
5. INSPECT THE FRAME RIVETS
a. Repeat Step 2 to duplicate the noise in the garage.
b. Use a stethoscope or chassis ears to isolate the area of the chassis that the noise appears to be
originating from. Areas to check include the shock tower rivets and all # 1 crossmember rivets.
6. SERVICE THE VEHICLE
a. If the noise appears to be from the lower left-front # 1 crossmember fastener, follow the
procedure outlined below.
b. If the noise appears to be coming from another rivet (other than the lower left front # 1
crossmember rivet), refer to TSB 93-6-10 for the proper rivet repair procedure.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to add certain 1992/94 model year vehicles, to
revise the nut specified in the article and its torque specification, and to expand the diagnostic and
repair procedures contained in the article.
ISSUE:
A "popping/creaking" sound may come from the area of the # 1 crossmember attachment to the left
frame rail. This occurs because of a slip/stick motion at a loose rivet in the lower flange of the
frame near the steering gear. The rivet could be either a standard cold head rivet in light duty
applications or a "huck" rivet, which has the appearance of a large "pop" Civet.
ACTION:
Use the following diagnostic procedure to determine if the noise is originating in this rivet area. If
so, replace the rivet with a nut, bolt and washer assembly. The revised parts increase the clamp
load at the joint, minimizing the motion that causes the noise. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
SOURCES OF VARIOUS FRONT UNDERBODY NOISES:
Various front underbody noises may originate from several different sources. Several noises have
been misdiagnosed as # 1 crossmember rivet "pop/creak" because the noise tends to propagate to
the shock tower area and the shock tower area acts as an amplifier such that the noises all appear
to be coming from that area. Other underbody areas that produce similar noises include:
^ loose or improperly seated shock tower rivets
^ loose or misaligned transmission crossmembers
^ loose radius arm brackets
^ loose axle pivot brackets
Other service bulletins have been published to address the proper repair of these concerns.
DESCRIPTION OF # 1 CROSSMEMBER NOISES:
"Pop/creak" - A metal-to-metal rubbing motion which slip/sticks when a twist is induced into the
frame.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE:
1. INTERVIEW THE CUSTOMER:
a. Understand the customer's description of the noise and of the conditions under which it is heard.
b. Road test the vehicle with the customer to fully understand where, how and when the noise
occurs.
2. DUPLICATE THE NOISE CONCERN:
a. Drive the vehicle around for at least 15 minutes to warm-up and stress the frame joints, so that
any frame noise is more likely to be repeatable in the garage.
b. Test the following situations:
^ Can the noise be duplicated while stationary and on dry pavement by repeatedly turning the
steering wheel from steering stop to steering stop?
Ford F 150 2wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-351 5.8L (1986))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Cross-Member > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Cross-Member: > 94813 > Apr > 94 > Frame/Crossmember Snapping/Popping Noise > Page 5737
^ Can the noise be repeated while on the hoist without the suspension loaded by repeatedly turning
the steering wheel from steering stop to steering stop?
Typically, the twist in the frame can be induced by turning the steering wheel back and forth from
steering stop to steering stop to duplicate the noise at the # 1 crossmember attachment. IF THE
NOISE IS NOT DUPLICATED UNDER ONE OF THESE SITUATIONS, INVESTIGATE OTHER
AREAS FOR THE NOISE BEFORE PROCEEDING TO REPAIR THE # 1 CROSSMEMBER
RIVET.
3. INSPECT FRAME BOLTS FOR PROPER INSTALLATION TORQUE:
a. Inspect and tighten all front end components which bolt to the frame to confirm they are at the
proper torque. This includes, but is not limited to:
^ Radius arm bracket bolts - 135 +/- 20 N-m (100 +/- 15 lb.ft.)
^ Axle pivot bracket bolts (torques vary by model - refer to the appropriate light truck Service
Manual for proper torque specifications)
^ Bumper bracket bolts - (refer to the appropriate light truck Service Manual for proper torque
specifications)
b. Inspect the transmission crossmember for proper alignment and bolt torques. If misaligned:
^ Loosen all transmission crossmember fasteners (including to the transmission).
^ Lift the transmission to remove any load on the crossmember.
^ Lift and reposition the transmission crossmember to be centered on the frame attachment holes.
^ Tighten all frame fasteners to the 63 +/- 9 N-m (46 +/- 7 lb.ft.).
^ Lower the transmission and tighten fasteners to 95 +/- 15 N-m (70 +/- 11 lb.ft.).
4. TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE
Road test the vehicle again to duplicate the concern. If the noise is still present, continue.
5. INSPECT THE FRAME RIVETS
a. Repeat Step 2 to duplicate the noise in the garage.
b. Use a stethoscope or chassis ears to isolate the area of the chassis that the noise appears to be
originating from. Areas to check include the shock tower rivets and all # 1 crossmember rivets.
6. SERVICE THE VEHICLE
a. If the noise appears to be from the lower left-front # 1 crossmember fastener, follow the
procedure outlined below.
b. If the noise appears to be coming from another rivet (other than the lower left front # 1
crossmember rivet), refer to TSB 93-6-10 for the proper rivet repair procedure.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1980-92 BRONCO, F-150 1989-92 F-250
ISSUE: The vehicle may drift or pull left during braking, with no torque in the steering wheel. This
condition is known as "recession steer" and may be caused by the radius arm front pivot bushings.
ACTION: Confirm that "recession steer" exists and, if necessary, replace the left hand radius arm
bushing with the flat front retainer and both front pivot bushings. Refer to the following procedure
for service details.
NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE CAN ONLY BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH TSB 91-21-8 TO
COMPLETELY RESOLVE THIS CONDITION.
IDENTIFY CONCERN
Confirm that "recession steer" exists and segregate it from possible brake pull.
^ "Recession steer" must be correctly identified and segregated from brake pull. "Recession steer"
is identified by the vehicle drifting or pulling left during braking with no torque felt in the steering
wheel.
^ With the right hand radius arm pivot bracket bolted on, as in current production, and no brake
imbalance (correctly performing TSB 91-21-8 will assure this), the amount of left drift that could
result from "recession steer", if corrective steering wheel input is not applied, during a moderate
hard stop from 50 mph (80 km /h), is no more than 4 feet (1.2 m). The revised bushings are
designed to correct this magnitude of "recession steer".

Wheel Bearing: Adjustments
1. Raise the vehicle until the tire clears the floor and install safety stands.
2. Remove the wheel cover.
3. Remove the grease cap from the hub. Wipe the excess grease from the end of the spindle.
Remove the cotter pin and locknut.
4. Loosen the adjusting nut three turns. Attempt to obtain running clearance between the rotor
brake surface and the disc pads by rocking the wheel,
hub and rotor assembly in and out several times to push the pads away from the rotor. If running
clearance cannot be maintained throughout bearing adjustment in Steps 5 and 6, the caliper must
be removed.
NOTE: Do not pry on the phenolic caliper piston.
5. Tighten the wheel adjusting nut to 30-33 Nm (22-25 ft lbs) while rotating the disc brake rotor in
the opposite direction.
6. Back off the adjusting nut 1/8 turn and install the retainer and new cotter pin without additional
movement of the adjusting nut. Bearing end play
should be 0.025-0.254mm (0.001-0.010 in). Bend the ends of the cotter pin around the castellated
flange of the locknut.
7. Check front wheel rotation. If the wheel rotates properly, reinstall the grease cap and wheel
cover. If rotation is noisy or rough, remove and inspect
the bearings. Service as required.
WARNING: Before driving the vehicle, pump the brake pedal several times to restore normal brake
pedal travel.

Wheel Bearing: Service and Repair
Wheel bearing lubricant is a lithium-base grease. Sodium-base grease is not compatible with
lithium-base grease and should not be intermixed. Therefore, do not lubricate front and/or rear
wheel bearings without first identifying the type of original wheel bearing lubricant. Usage of
incompatible bearing lubricants may result in premature lubricant breakdown.
REMOVAL
Front Hub And Rotor Assembly
1. Raise the vehicle until the tire clears the floor and remove the wheel and tire assembly.
2. Remove the brake caliper and secure to the underbody to prevent damage to the brake hose. It
is not necessary to disconnect the hose from the
caliper. Do not let the caliper hang with its weight on the brake hose or the hose may become
stretched, twisted or ruptured. See: Brakes and Traction Control/Disc Brake System/Brake
Caliper/Service and Repair
3. Remove the grease cap, cotter pin, retainer adjusting nut and washer.
4. Remove the outer bearing cone and roller.
5. Pull the hub and rotor off the spindle and remove and discard the grease seal.
6. Remove the inner bearing cone and roller from the hub. Remove all traces of old lubricant from
bearings, hub and axle spindle.
7. Inspect the cups for scratches, pits or cracks. If the cups are worn or damaged, remove them
with a drift. Clean the inner and outer bearing cones
and rollers with solvent and dry thoroughly.
CAUTION: Do not spin the bearings dry with compressed air.
8. Inspect the cones and rollers for cracks, nicks, brinelling, or seized rollers. Inspect the grease
retainer and replace it if it is cracked, nicked, dented
or worn.
9. Cover the spindle with a clean cloth. A water dampened cloth or water based solution should be
used to remove and dust or loose dirt from the
brake assembly. Remove the cloth from the spindle carefully to prevent dirt from falling on the
spindle.
NOTE: Do not use compressed air.

Installing Bearing Cups (Typical)
1. If inner or outer bearing cups were removed, install replacement inner and outer bearing cups in
the hub with the appropriate bearing cup replacer
tool. Be sure to seat the cups properly in the hub. The cups will be properly seated when they are
fully bottomed. Replace grease retainers. Polish grease retainer journal on spindle with 400 grit
sandpaper. Clean with clean cloth.
2. Pack the inside of the hub with lithium-base grease or equivalent. Fill the hub until the grease is
flush with the inside diameters of both bearing
cups. Pack the bearing cones and rollers with wheel bearing grease. Use a bearing packer for this
operation. If a packer is not available, work as much lubricant as possible between the rollers and
cages. Lubricate the cone surfaces with grease.
Installing Grease Seal (Typical)
3. Place the inner bearing cone and roller in the inner cup and install the new grease seal. Be sure
that the seal is fully seated.
4. Install the hub and rotor on the wheel spindle. Keep the hub centered on the spindle to prevent
damage to the grease retainer or the spindle threads.
5. Install the outer bearing cone and roller and the flat washer on the spindle, then install the
adjusting nut, and adjust the wheel bearing.
6. Install the retainer, new cotter pin, and grease cap.
7. Install the caliper.
8. Install the wheel and tire assembly.
9. Lower vehicle and torque the lug nuts to specification. Re-install the wheel cover or hub cap.

Article No. 89-9-16
LIGHT TRUCK: 1984-89 ALL LIGHT TRUCK LINES
ISSUE: Tire wear can be affected by inflation and load. Good tread life is dependent on maintaining
proper air pressure in the tires. Other factors that affect tire wear are:
^ alignment
^ speed
^ road surfaces
ACTION: Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressures to obtain maximum tread life. Use the
following charts and procedures to arrive at the best tire pressure for each load application.
FIGURE 1
The chart in Figure 1 shows the affect of inflation and load on tire tread life. Use the chart by finding
the specified inflation pressure for the vehicle as shown on the certification label and locating that
pressure on the specified inflation pressure on the chart. The affects of actual air pressure and load
can now be read directly off the chart.
Tire load carrying capacity is a function of tire design and inflation pressures. Each tire has molded
into the sidewall a maximum pressure for a specific usage. Use the following guidelines to
determine load carrying capacity.

FIGURE 2
^ For P-metric passenger tires on passenger cars, the values are as shown on the tire.
^ For P-metric passenger tires on light trucks, the load ratings are reduced to 91% to reflect the
"harsher" truck environment, Figure 2.
^ For light truck style tires used on light trucks, the values are as shown for tires used in single
wheel applications.
^ For light truck style tires used in dual wheel applications, the tire capacities are derated.
Often, inflation pressures for specific vehicles are less than maximum capacity because the load to
be carried is less than the maximum tire capacity.
Inflation pressures for originally installed size tires on a vehicle are shown on the vehicle
certification label along with the tire size and rated capacity for the axle system. Check the size and
inflation information on the label to properly inflate the tires. Be sure that the same size tire is
actually on the vehicle and then inflate it to the label's specified pressure. If other than original size
tires are on the vehicle, the label's pressures are probably not correct
To find proper pressures for other than original tires, use the following procedure.
1. Obtain both front and rear axle capacity ratings (GAWRR and GAWRF).
2. Divide each number by 2 to obtain the capacity at the tire.

Service Bulletins > Tire Wear - Toe Set Prior Vehicle Service > Page 5835
3. For single wheel usage, look up the pressure in the proper chart which will meet the needed
capacity, Figure 3.
4. Check the tire side wall label to see if it permits inflation to that pressure. If lower load range tires
were installed (i.e., C vs. D or E), the tires may not have the needed capability.
5. Divide the value found in Step 2 by 2 again to obtain individual tire requirements for dual rear
wheels.
6. Using a dual wheel inflation pressure chart, Figure 3, determine correct pressure to achieve
adequate load capacities.
7. Consult the local tire outlet or the tire manufacturer's home office about tires not shown in the
tables.

ISSUE: Wheel vibration may be caused by distorted pilot holes or lug holes on the wheel. This
does not allow sufficient clamp load between the lug nut, the wheel and the rotor/hub. It may also
be difficult to remove the distorted wheel from the vehicle or to place the wheel on the vehicle in a
different location.
ACTION: To determine if a wheel has been damaged and should not be reused, refer to the
following service procedure for details.
NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE ONLY APPLIES TO PART # E7UA-1015-JA (16 X 6 SINGLE STEEL
WHEEL)
INSPECT FOR WHEEL DAMAGE
1. Remove the wheel from the hub. If the wheel is difficult to remove, DO NOT reuse the wheel.
2. Visually inspect the wheel for distortion (turned-up) scallops in the pilot hole. If the pilot hole is
distorted, DO NOT reuse the wheel.
3. Inspect the distorted lug holes by placing a lug nut in the lug hole cone seat of the wheel and
inspect from the reverse side. If the lug protrudes through the lug hole, DO NOT reuse the wheel.
4. Inspect the wheel mounting surface for distortion.
a. Lay a straight edge across the mounting surface of the wheel (the surface of the wheel which
makes contact with the rear brake drum or front rotor).
b. The straight edge should contact the outer edge of the mounting surface, lying between the bolt
holes and across the center of the pilot hole.
c. The clearance between the straight edge and the pilot hole can not exceed 0.0300 inch, the
straight edge should not contact the pilot holes. If the clearance is more than 0.0300 or the straight
edge makes contact with the pilot holes, DO NOT reuse the wheel.
INSTALL WHEEL
1. Inspect for lubricants on the studs and lug nuts.
2. If lubricants are present, clean throughly using naphtha or equivalent.
3. Torque lug nuts to (140 ft.lbs./190 N-m) using a torque wrench according to the Shop Manual,
Section 04-04.
CAUTION: EXCESSIVE TORQUE MAY CAUSE DISTORTION OF THE WHEEL. INADEQUATE

LIGHT TRUCK: 1985-91 E-250-350, F-250-350
ISSUE: Wheel vibration may be caused by distorted pilot holes or lug holes on the wheel. This
does not allow sufficient clamp load between the lug nut, the wheel and the rotor/hub. It may also
be difficult to remove the distorted wheel from the vehicle or to place the wheel on the vehicle in a
different location.
ACTION: To determine if a wheel has been damaged and should not be reused, refer to the
following service procedure for details.
NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE ONLY APPLIES TO PART # E7UA-1015-JA (16 X 6 SINGLE STEEL
WHEEL)
INSPECT FOR WHEEL DAMAGE
1. Remove the wheel from the hub. If the wheel is difficult to remove, DO NOT reuse the wheel.
2. Visually inspect the wheel for distortion (turned-up) scallops in the pilot hole. If the pilot hole is
distorted, DO NOT reuse the wheel.
3. Inspect the distorted lug holes by placing a lug nut in the lug hole cone seat of the wheel and
inspect from the reverse side. If the lug protrudes through the lug hole, DO NOT reuse the wheel.
4. Inspect the wheel mounting surface for distortion.
a. Lay a straight edge across the mounting surface of the wheel (the surface of the wheel which
makes contact with the rear brake drum or front rotor).
b. The straight edge should contact the outer edge of the mounting surface, lying between the bolt
holes and across the center of the pilot hole.
c. The clearance between the straight edge and the pilot hole can not exceed 0.0300 inch, the
straight edge should not contact the pilot holes. If the clearance is more than 0.0300 or the straight
edge makes contact with the pilot holes, DO NOT reuse the wheel.
INSTALL WHEEL
1. Inspect for lubricants on the studs and lug nuts.
2. If lubricants are present, clean throughly using naphtha or equivalent.
3. Torque lug nuts to (140 ft.lbs./190 N-m) using a torque wrench according to the Shop Manual,
Section 04-04.
CAUTION: EXCESSIVE TORQUE MAY CAUSE DISTORTION OF THE WHEEL. INADEQUATE
TORQUE MAY NOT PROVIDE
ADEQUATE CLAMPING FORCE TO ASSURE WHEEL RETENTION.

ISSUE: The use of a power impact wrench to install wheel nuts provides minimal torque control.
Undertightening may allow the lug nuts to loosen, and can result in the wheel separating from the
vehicle. Overtightening of wheel nuts may cause brake rotor distortion that could result in a brake
shudder. Overtightening may cause distortion of the wheel. This can result in a change in the
diameter of the center (axle) hole and make it difficult to remove from the axle it is mounted on or
difficult or impossible to install on another axle with a smaller center hole diameter.
ACTION: Use a manual torque wrench to tighten wheel nuts. Refer to the approriate Shop Manual
for specific torque values.

ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.

NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

CALIBRATION: All with EEC IV
1986 vehicles are equipped with a new "blade" design distributor rotor. This design replaces the
multi-point rotor used in recent model years. This new rotor requires the use of silicone grease on
the blade. Electrical interference can result from a blade rotor that does not have silicone grease.
The electrical interference affects the distributor stator assembly and can cause engine "missing",
"bucking", or "surging". These drive concerns are usually intermittent and tend to occur during
crank and heavy or wide-open throttle.
It is important to remember not to remove the silicone grease for radio noise concerns, on 1986
vehicles with EEC IV; removing the grease can cause driveability concerns. A future TSB article
will address the radio noise issue.

2. Remove the wheel cover.
3. Remove the grease cap from the hub. Wipe the excess grease from the end of the spindle.
Remove the cotter pin and locknut.
4. Loosen the adjusting nut three turns. Attempt to obtain running clearance between the rotor
brake surface and the disc pads by rocking the wheel,
hub and rotor assembly in and out several times to push the pads away from the rotor. If running
clearance cannot be maintained throughout bearing adjustment in Steps 5 and 6, the caliper must
be removed.
NOTE: Do not pry on the phenolic caliper piston.
5. Tighten the wheel adjusting nut to 30-33 Nm (22-25 ft lbs) while rotating the disc brake rotor in
the opposite direction.
6. Back off the adjusting nut 1/8 turn and install the retainer and new cotter pin without additional
movement of the adjusting nut. Bearing end play
should be 0.025-0.254mm (0.001-0.010 in). Bend the ends of the cotter pin around the castellated
flange of the locknut.
7. Check front wheel rotation. If the wheel rotates properly, reinstall the grease cap and wheel
cover. If rotation is noisy or rough, remove and inspect
the bearings. Service as required.
WARNING: Before driving the vehicle, pump the brake pedal several times to restore normal brake
pedal travel.

Wheel Bearing: Service and Repair
Wheel bearing lubricant is a lithium-base grease. Sodium-base grease is not compatible with
lithium-base grease and should not be intermixed. Therefore, do not lubricate front and/or rear
wheel bearings without first identifying the type of original wheel bearing lubricant. Usage of
incompatible bearing lubricants may result in premature lubricant breakdown.
REMOVAL
Front Hub And Rotor Assembly
1. Raise the vehicle until the tire clears the floor and remove the wheel and tire assembly.
2. Remove the brake caliper and secure to the underbody to prevent damage to the brake hose. It
is not necessary to disconnect the hose from the
caliper. Do not let the caliper hang with its weight on the brake hose or the hose may become
stretched, twisted or ruptured. See: Brakes and Traction Control/Disc Brake System/Brake
Caliper/Service and Repair
3. Remove the grease cap, cotter pin, retainer adjusting nut and washer.
4. Remove the outer bearing cone and roller.
5. Pull the hub and rotor off the spindle and remove and discard the grease seal.
6. Remove the inner bearing cone and roller from the hub. Remove all traces of old lubricant from
bearings, hub and axle spindle.
7. Inspect the cups for scratches, pits or cracks. If the cups are worn or damaged, remove them
with a drift. Clean the inner and outer bearing cones
and rollers with solvent and dry thoroughly.
CAUTION: Do not spin the bearings dry with compressed air.
8. Inspect the cones and rollers for cracks, nicks, brinelling, or seized rollers. Inspect the grease
retainer and replace it if it is cracked, nicked, dented
or worn.
9. Cover the spindle with a clean cloth. A water dampened cloth or water based solution should be
used to remove and dust or loose dirt from the
brake assembly. Remove the cloth from the spindle carefully to prevent dirt from falling on the
spindle.
NOTE: Do not use compressed air.

Installing Bearing Cups (Typical)
1. If inner or outer bearing cups were removed, install replacement inner and outer bearing cups in
the hub with the appropriate bearing cup replacer
tool. Be sure to seat the cups properly in the hub. The cups will be properly seated when they are
fully bottomed. Replace grease retainers. Polish grease retainer journal on spindle with 400 grit
sandpaper. Clean with clean cloth.
2. Pack the inside of the hub with lithium-base grease or equivalent. Fill the hub until the grease is
flush with the inside diameters of both bearing
cups. Pack the bearing cones and rollers with wheel bearing grease. Use a bearing packer for this
operation. If a packer is not available, work as much lubricant as possible between the rollers and
cages. Lubricate the cone surfaces with grease.
Installing Grease Seal (Typical)
3. Place the inner bearing cone and roller in the inner cup and install the new grease seal. Be sure
that the seal is fully seated.
4. Install the hub and rotor on the wheel spindle. Keep the hub centered on the spindle to prevent
damage to the grease retainer or the spindle threads.
5. Install the outer bearing cone and roller and the flat washer on the spindle, then install the
adjusting nut, and adjust the wheel bearing.
6. Install the retainer, new cotter pin, and grease cap.
7. Install the caliper.
8. Install the wheel and tire assembly.

ISSUE: The use of air impact tools to tighten wheel lug nuts can lead to overtightened and/or
unevenly tightened wheel lug nuts. Air impact tools typically used for wheel lug nut removal and
installation can generate up to 475 N.m (350 lb-ft) of torque. Overtightened and/or unevenly
torqued wheel lug nuts may cause:
^ Brake vibration
^ Distortion of the wheel hub
^ Distortion of the brake rotor

^ Damage to the wheel nuts and studs
ACTION: All wheel lug nuts should only be tightened to specification using a torque wrench or by
using the Rotunda ACCUTORO 164-R0314 or equivalent on a 1/2" drive air impact tool. The
"ACCUTORO" lug nut sockets limit the torque of the air impact tool, preventing overtightening or
uneven tightening of the wheel lug nuts. The torque limiting devices (regulators) on air impact tools
will not reduce the output torque enough to prevent overtightening of the wheel lug nuts.

NOTE:
REFER TO THE APPROPRIATE SERVICE MANUAL OR THE CHART IN FIGURE 1 FOR THE
CORRECT WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE SPECIFICATION. THE CHART IN FIGURE 1 ALSO
PROVIDES THE CORRECT "ACCUTORO" LUG NUT SOCKET TO USE.
The "ACCUTORO" socket is intended for lug nut installation, not removal. When using the
"ACCUTORO" socket, the output torque of the air impact tool must be set to 217-339 N.m (160-250
lb-ft), usually this will be the lowest setting on the air impact tool.
The "ACCUTORO" lug nut sockets are available through Rotunda Equipment. The four-piece set
(164-R0314) fits most Ford Motor Company cars and light trucks. The tool set consists of four (4)
lug nut sockets and a storage case. The set can be ordered by calling Rotunda Equipment at
1-800-ROT-UNDA (768-8632).
CAUTION:
AIR IMPACT TOOLS SHOULD NOT BE USED TO TIGHTEN WHEEL LUG NUTS UNLESS THE
"ACCUTORO" LUG NUT SOCKET OF THE CORRECT SPECIFICATION IS USED.
NOTE:
DO NOT USE AIR IMPACT TOOLS ON LOCKING WHEEL LUG NUTS. THEY ARE TO BE
HAND-TORQUED ONLY.

ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused
by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually
caused by abnormal engine operation.
ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and
Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the
following procedures for service details.
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition,
which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any
codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182,
183 AND 565 ARE RECEIVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
^ Ignition Coil
^ Distributor Cap
^ Distributor Rotor
^ Fouled Spark Plug
^ Spark Plug Wires
^ Air Filter
^ Stuck Open Injector
^ Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
^ Manifold Leaks Intake/ Exhaust
^ Fuel Pressure
^ Poor Power Ground
^ Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
^ HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and
shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the
specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20~ BTDC +/- 3~.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary
ignition misfire.

Power/No Start Diagnosis > Page 5927
NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS
BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which
could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service
details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures
between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to
40 PSI +/- 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause
excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
a. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
^ Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
^ Tight speed control linkage or cable.
^ Vacuum line interference.
^ Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED
WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE
RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate
properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires
are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or
broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump
thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst
temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on
following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

CALIBRATION: All with EEC IV
1986 vehicles are equipped with a new "blade" design distributor rotor. This design replaces the
multi-point rotor used in recent model years. This new rotor requires the use of silicone grease on
the blade. Electrical interference can result from a blade rotor that does not have silicone grease.
The electrical interference affects the distributor stator assembly and can cause engine "missing",
"bucking", or "surging". These drive concerns are usually intermittent and tend to occur during
crank and heavy or wide-open throttle.
It is important to remember not to remove the silicone grease for radio noise concerns, on 1986
vehicles with EEC IV; removing the grease can cause driveability concerns. A future TSB article
will address the radio noise issue.

Lug Nut Torque Patterns
IMPORTANT
Check all parts, including rims, lug studs, lug nuts, and mating surfaces of hubs and tire rims for
rust, damage, or dirt. Clean mating surfaces with a wire brush to remove any foreign material.
Replace any damaged parts as needed. Careless installation of tire/rim assemblies in a vehicle is a
major cause of tire installation problems. Proper installation, including fastener torque, is essential
to economical, safe and trouble free service. Use only the proper sizes and types of fasteners for
safe and proper service. Tighten the fasteners a quarter turn at a time using the tightening
sequence diagram as a guide. This is very important to prevent misalignment of the wheel.
Continue tightening the fasteners in sequence until the fasteners are tightened to the proper torque
(See WHEEL FASTENER TORQUE).
CAUTION: Improper torque or tightening sequence can cause distortion, fatigue cracks, or
alignment problems. After driving the vehicle for a short distance, recheck the wheel fastener
torque. Parts will usually seat naturally, reducing the torque on the fasteners. Retorque all
fasteners to the proper torque.

AXLE (10.25") - REAR - HUB SEALS LEAK - VENT PLUGGED
LIGHT TRUCK 1985-86 F-250/350
A plugged rear axle vent may cause water to be sucked in through the seals and grease to be
pushed out. This happens when pressures rise and fall inside the axle during various driving
conditions and temperatures. The purpose of the vent is to relieve those pressures. If the vent is
plugged with mud or other foreign materials, the axle cannot "breathe".
To eliminate this concern, perform the following procedure:
Figure 17
1. Remove the vent from the axle (Figure 17).
2. Place the vent in a vise so as not to damage the threads.
3. Drill out the vent using a 3/16 inch drill bit. Clean all shavings from vent.
4. Install vent.
5. Make sure entire vent hose is clear of dirt and mud, etc.

LIGHT TRUCK 1985-86 F-250/350
A plugged rear axle vent may cause water to be sucked in through the seals and grease to be
pushed out. This happens when pressures rise and fall inside the axle during various driving
conditions and temperatures. The purpose of the vent is to relieve those pressures. If the vent is
plugged with mud or other foreign materials, the axle cannot "breathe".
To eliminate this concern, perform the following procedure:
Figure 17
1. Remove the vent from the axle (Figure 17).
2. Place the vent in a vise so as not to damage the threads.
3. Drill out the vent using a 3/16 inch drill bit. Clean all shavings from vent.
4. Install vent.
5. Make sure entire vent hose is clear of dirt and mud, etc.
6. Install hose.

This TSB is being republished in its entirety to include Labor Operations for system flushing.
ISSUE: Ford Motor Company has approved a procedure to provide technicians with a non-CFC
method of flushing contaminated A/C system heat exchangers (evaporators and condensers). This
procedure allows the A/C components to be cleaned and flushed while installed in the vehicle. The
types of contamination flushed include particle matter which results from compressor or desiccant
failure and the gummy residue which may form when refrigerant oil is overheated. Some Ford
authorized HFC-134a retrofit kit procedures will also require A/C system flushing to remove mineral
oil for capacity reasons.
ACTION: Refer to the following text for proper flushing procedures.
The flushing procedure is a two-step process which involves the use of an A/C Flusher. The
Flusher is used to do the following:
1. Circulate the flushing solvent through the A/C system heat exchangers in the reverse direction of
normal refrigerant flow (back flushing). Particle matter is filtered from the returning solvent and the
solvent is returned to the reservoir for continued circulation.
Ford F 150 2wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-351 5.8L (1986))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Condenser HVAC > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Air Conditioning - Approved Flushing Procedures > Page 5999
2. Remove the flushing solvent from the A/C system. In this step, pressurized air (90-125
psi/620-862 kPa) is used to push and evaporate any remaining flush solvent from the heat
exchangers.
Only Rotunda Item No. 014-00990 A/C Flushing kit which includes 014-00991 A/C Flusher,
014-00992 A/C Flusher Filling Kit. and F4AZ-19579-A A/C Flushing Solvent (case of 4 gallons/15
L), is approved for use on Ford vehicles. No other flushing device or solvent is approved by Ford
Motor Company for flushing A/C systems. The use of other equipment or solvent may cause
damage to the A/C system and the flushing unit.
Minimum time for flushing is 15 minutes and minimum time for air flushing is 30 minutes. Failure to
continue air purge for the entire 30 minutes as specified may result in residual amounts of flush
solvent contaminating the A/C system. Residual flush solvent in a functioning A/C system may lead
to A/C system failure.
Do not flush through orifice tubes. TXVs, accumulator/driers, receiver/driers, mufflers or hoses.
Internal plumbing and material make-up of these components make it impossible to properly
remove the debris and/or residual flushing solvent.
One (1) gallon (3.8 L) of Ford A/C System Flushing Solvent is used in this device and is intended
for one (1) vehicle only. It may be used to flush both heat exchangers on an individual vehicle, but
under no circumstances should it be used on more than one (1) vehicle. The filter used when
flushing is also intended for use on one (1) vehicle only.
NOTE:
DURING THE FLUSHING PROCESS, THIS MATERIAL MAY COLLECT RESIDUE FROM THE
A/C SYSTEM, WHICH MAY INCLUDE CFC-12. DISPOSE OF THE SOLVENT AND FILTER IN
ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.
Use of A/C system filter kits as prescribed in TSB 94-15-5 is optional if the A/C system is flushed.
Filter kit use is recommended after flushing if the system is highly contaminated. If the hoses are
clogged with debris, hose replacement is required.
Always remember to match oil properly, replace the accumulator/drier and orifice tube, or TXV and
receiver/drier when servicing an A/C system with a compressor or desiccant failure.
The following vehicles require A/C system flushing with retrofit kits to remove mineral oil for
capacity reasons.

ISSUE: A procedure has been developed for cleaning Spring Lock Coupling (SLC) refrigerant
fittings during air conditioning system repairs. This procedure and replacement of black O-rings
with the improved green O-rings will reduce the potential of refrigerant leaks.
ACTION:
When servicing the air conditioning system on the subject vehicles, or if a refrigerant leak is
suspected at any of the SLC connections, disconnect all SLC connections and replace all black
O-rings with new green O-rings which are made of an improved material. Use the following service
procedure to clean the coupling before installing new green O-rings. Refer to the Parts Block in this
article for correct parts usage.
CLEANING PROCEDURE
1. Remove all refrigerant from the vehicle A/C system using an U.L. approved
Refrigerant/Recovery device prior to disconnecting the refrigerant couplings. Refer to the
appropriate model year Service Manual for a detailed A/C discharging procedure.
2. Disconnect the SLC coupling.

Technical Service Bulletins > A/C Coupling - Cleaning Procedures > Page 6013
3. Remove the black O-rings. Be careful not to scratch the O-ring grooves.
CAUTION: A SCRATCH CAN CAUSE FUTURE REFRIGERANT LEAKS.
4. Remove any surface residue from the inside of the female SLC and the grooves of the male SLC
by polishing with 400 grit emery cloth or equivalent. Polish the female surface by using a twisting
motion, Figure 1, so that any scratches made will not cross the O-ring sealing surface.
5. Perform additional polishing of the surface using 600 grit emery cloth or equivalent.
6. Remove all residue from polishing operations from both fittings by wiping with a lint-free rag.
7. Install new green O-rings. If the O-rings are not prelubricated, lube with YN-9 A/C compressor oil
(F73Z-19577-A) before installing them.
8. Lubricate the inside of the female portion of the SLC with YN-9 compressor oil (F73Z-19577-A)
and apply additional oil to the O-rings.
9. Reconnect the fitting.

This TSB is being republished in its entirety to include Labor Operations for system flushing.
ISSUE: Ford Motor Company has approved a procedure to provide technicians with a non-CFC
method of flushing contaminated A/C system heat exchangers (evaporators and condensers). This
procedure allows the A/C components to be cleaned and flushed while installed in the vehicle. The
types of contamination flushed include particle matter which results from compressor or desiccant
failure and the gummy residue which may form when refrigerant oil is overheated. Some Ford
authorized HFC-134a retrofit kit procedures will also require A/C system flushing to remove mineral
oil for capacity reasons.
ACTION: Refer to the following text for proper flushing procedures.
The flushing procedure is a two-step process which involves the use of an A/C Flusher. The
Flusher is used to do the following:
1. Circulate the flushing solvent through the A/C system heat exchangers in the reverse direction of
normal refrigerant flow (back flushing). Particle matter is filtered from the returning solvent and the
solvent is returned to the reservoir for continued circulation.
Ford F 150 2wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-351 5.8L (1986))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Evaporator Core > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Air Conditioning - Approved Flushing Procedures > Page 6018
2. Remove the flushing solvent from the A/C system. In this step, pressurized air (90-125
psi/620-862 kPa) is used to push and evaporate any remaining flush solvent from the heat
exchangers.
Only Rotunda Item No. 014-00990 A/C Flushing kit which includes 014-00991 A/C Flusher,
014-00992 A/C Flusher Filling Kit. and F4AZ-19579-A A/C Flushing Solvent (case of 4 gallons/15
L), is approved for use on Ford vehicles. No other flushing device or solvent is approved by Ford
Motor Company for flushing A/C systems. The use of other equipment or solvent may cause
damage to the A/C system and the flushing unit.
Minimum time for flushing is 15 minutes and minimum time for air flushing is 30 minutes. Failure to
continue air purge for the entire 30 minutes as specified may result in residual amounts of flush
solvent contaminating the A/C system. Residual flush solvent in a functioning A/C system may lead
to A/C system failure.
Do not flush through orifice tubes. TXVs, accumulator/driers, receiver/driers, mufflers or hoses.
Internal plumbing and material make-up of these components make it impossible to properly
remove the debris and/or residual flushing solvent.
One (1) gallon (3.8 L) of Ford A/C System Flushing Solvent is used in this device and is intended
for one (1) vehicle only. It may be used to flush both heat exchangers on an individual vehicle, but
under no circumstances should it be used on more than one (1) vehicle. The filter used when
flushing is also intended for use on one (1) vehicle only.
NOTE:
DURING THE FLUSHING PROCESS, THIS MATERIAL MAY COLLECT RESIDUE FROM THE
A/C SYSTEM, WHICH MAY INCLUDE CFC-12. DISPOSE OF THE SOLVENT AND FILTER IN
ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.
Use of A/C system filter kits as prescribed in TSB 94-15-5 is optional if the A/C system is flushed.
Filter kit use is recommended after flushing if the system is highly contaminated. If the hoses are
clogged with debris, hose replacement is required.
Always remember to match oil properly, replace the accumulator/drier and orifice tube, or TXV and
receiver/drier when servicing an A/C system with a compressor or desiccant failure.
The following vehicles require A/C system flushing with retrofit kits to remove mineral oil for
capacity reasons.

ISSUE A number of non-approved/alternate refrigerants have entered the marketplace and are
being advertised as "drop-in replacements" for R-12 and R-134a. The use of non-approved
refrigerants such as R-22, hydrocarbons, and other refrigerant blends could cause safety,
durability, and performance concerns if they are installed in Ford A/C systems. Identification of the
type of refrigerant contained in vehicle A/C systems, before servicing, is necessary to prevent
dealer service equipment and refrigerant supplies from being contaminated with non-approved
refrigerants.
ACTION Refrigerant identification must be performed prior to recovering the refrigerant into a

Ford Motor Company has approved the Rotunda Deluxe A/C Refrigerant Analyzer (198-00003) for
use on Ford and Lincoln-Mercury vehicles (Figure 1). The analyzer provides the technician with a
quick and easy way to identify the type and percentage of refrigerant (R-134a, R-12, R-22, or
flammable hydrocarbon). The analyzer can also provide the percentage of air in the A/C system
and automatically purge air from the system.
The A/C Refrigerant Analyzer is designed to identify vapor gas samples taken directly from
automotive air conditioning systems or refrigerant storage cylinders. Refrigerant vapor passes
through the multiple sensor Non-Dispersive Infra-Red (NDIR) sensing unit. The microprocessor
calculates each refrigerant type and purity percentage which is displayed on the analyzer's Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD).
The analyzer identifies the purity percentage of R-134a, R-12, R-22, hydrocarbon; and air in the
sample. If the purity percentage of the R-134a or R-12 is 98% or greater by weight, a green
"PASS" Light Emitting Diode (LED) will light. If refrigerants R-134a or R-12 do not meet 98% purity
levels, the red "FAIL" LED will light. Levels of R-22 and flammable hydrocarbons above 2% will
light the red "FAIL" light. If a hydrocarbon is detected above 5%, both the "FAIL" light and
"HYDROCARBON" light will illuminate and a horn will sound alerting the user of potential hazards.
The percent of air contained in the sample will be displayed if the R-134a or R-12 content is 98% or
above. The analyzer eliminates the effect of air

Bulletins > A/C - Identification of Non Approved Refrigerants > Page 6033
when determining the refrigerant sample content because air is not considered a contaminant
although air can affect A/C system performance. Air will automatically be purged until a pure
refrigerant with a less than 2% by weight air measurement is reached.
Recovery of Contaminated Refrigerant
If contaminated refrigerant is detected, DO NOT recover the refrigerant into your R-134a or R-12
recovery/recycling equipment. Take the following actions:
1. Repeat the test to verify contaminated refrigerant is present.
2. Advise the customer of the contaminated A/C system and any additional cost to repair the
system. The customer may wish to return to the service facility which performed the last A/C
service.
3. Recover the contaminated refrigerant using suitable recovery-only equipment designed for
capturing and storing contaminated refrigerant. This equipment must only be used to recover
contaminated refrigerant to prevent the spread to other vehicles. As an alternative, contact an A/C
service facility in your area which has the proper equipment for refrigerant recovery.
Repairing A Contaminated A/C System
Once the contaminated refrigerant is removed from the system it will be necessary to repair the
system. Ford recommends that you do the following to be sure a quality repair is made:
1. Determine the cause of the failure.
2. Determine which parts will need to be replaced.
3. Flush the heat exchangers to remove any oil that may be degraded due to the contaminated
refrigerant.
4. Install a new suction/accumulator.
5. Properly oil match the system to verify that the correct amount of clean refrigerant oil is present
in the system.
6. Evacuate the system for 45 minutes.
7. Recharge the system, verify proper operation, and leak test.
Disposal of Contaminated Refrigerant
Disposal of contaminated refrigerant is a new process to the automotive industry Listed below are
companies that will assist with disposal of contaminated refrigerant. Ford Motor Company has not
evaluated the processes of the listed refrigerant disposal companies and is not endorsing or
promoting their companies Business transactions are between the dealership and disposal
companies. Disposal costs will vary between $3.00 and $5.00 per pound, plus the cost of round trip
cylinder shipping.

sample. If the purity percentage of the R-134a or R-12 is 98% or greater by weight, a green
"PASS" Light Emitting Diode (LED) will light. If refrigerants R-134a or R-12 do not meet 98% purity
levels, the red "FAIL" LED will light. Levels of R-22 and flammable hydrocarbons above 2% will
light the red "FAIL" light. If a hydrocarbon is detected above 5%, both the "FAIL" light and
"HYDROCARBON" light will illuminate and a horn will sound alerting the user of potential hazards.
The percent of air contained in the sample will be displayed if the R-134a or R-12 content is 98% or
above. The analyzer eliminates the effect of air

when determining the refrigerant sample content because air is not considered a contaminant
although air can affect A/C system performance. Air will automatically be purged until a pure
refrigerant with a less than 2% by weight air measurement is reached.
Recovery of Contaminated Refrigerant
If contaminated refrigerant is detected, DO NOT recover the refrigerant into your R-134a or R-12
recovery/recycling equipment. Take the following actions:
1. Repeat the test to verify contaminated refrigerant is present.
2. Advise the customer of the contaminated A/C system and any additional cost to repair the
system. The customer may wish to return to the service facility which performed the last A/C
service.
3. Recover the contaminated refrigerant using suitable recovery-only equipment designed for
capturing and storing contaminated refrigerant. This equipment must only be used to recover
contaminated refrigerant to prevent the spread to other vehicles. As an alternative, contact an A/C
service facility in your area which has the proper equipment for refrigerant recovery.
Repairing A Contaminated A/C System
Once the contaminated refrigerant is removed from the system it will be necessary to repair the
system. Ford recommends that you do the following to be sure a quality repair is made:
1. Determine the cause of the failure.
2. Determine which parts will need to be replaced.
3. Flush the heat exchangers to remove any oil that may be degraded due to the contaminated
refrigerant.
4. Install a new suction/accumulator.
5. Properly oil match the system to verify that the correct amount of clean refrigerant oil is present
in the system.
6. Evacuate the system for 45 minutes.
7. Recharge the system, verify proper operation, and leak test.
Disposal of Contaminated Refrigerant
Disposal of contaminated refrigerant is a new process to the automotive industry Listed below are
companies that will assist with disposal of contaminated refrigerant. Ford Motor Company has not
evaluated the processes of the listed refrigerant disposal companies and is not endorsing or
promoting their companies Business transactions are between the dealership and disposal
companies. Disposal costs will vary between $3.00 and $5.00 per pound, plus the cost of round trip
cylinder shipping.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to list Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
reviewed NC substitutes for R-12 refrigerant.
ISSUE: A number of manufacturers are producing refrigerant products which are described as
being direct replacements for refrigerant R-12.
ACTION: If service is required, use only new or of known quality recycled refrigerant R-12. Ford
Motor Company has approved R-134a as the only refrigerant substitute for R-12.
CAUTION:
USING ANY UNAUTHORIZED SUBSTITUTE REFRIGERANT FOR R-12 MAY RESULT IN
SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE A/C SYSTEM COMPONENTS.

This information has been taken from EPA documents to address Ford specific applications and
recommendations. Further EPA information on ozone-depleting substances and regulations
regarding its handling can be found on the Internet at World Wide Web site:
http://www.epa.gov/ozone/
In 1994, EPA established the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program to review
alternatives to ozone-depleting substances like R-12. EPA examines new substitutes for their
ozone depleting, global warming, flammability, and toxicity characteristics. The SNAP process does
not test these substitutes for A/C system compatibility, reliability, durability, or performance.
Under the SNAP rule, each new refrigerant must be used in accordance with the following
conditions:
1. Unique Fittings - Each new refrigerant must be used with a unique set of fittings to prevent the
accidental mixing of different refrigerants.
2. Unique Equipment - Each refrigerant must have dedicated recovery/recycling equipment for that
refrigerant.
3. Labels - Whether a vehicle is originally designed to use a new refrigerant or is retrofitted, the
technician must apply a detailed label giving specific information about the alternative. This label
covers up information about the old refrigerant and provides valuable details on the alternative and
how it was used. The technician is required to fill in their name, company performing the retrofit,
address and the date retrofitted.
4. Remove Original Refrigerant - The original R-12 must be removed from the system prior to
charging with the new refrigerant. This will guarantee that the largest amount of clean R-12 is
available for use in vehicles that still need it.

ISSUE: A "refrigerator type smell" or "chemical type" odor may come from some A/C systems. As
the calibration of the clutch cycling pressure switch drifts downward, the evaporator core
temperature may drop too low. This results in a "refrigerator type smell" or "chemical type" odor as
the system cycles on and off.

AEROSTAR 1988-89 ECONOLINE ISSUE:
Poor air conditioning cooling caused by low or no refrigerant charge often results in unnecessary
replacement of the clutch cycling pressure switch. The switch is designed to work on system
pressure. It closes at about 46 psi and opens at about 24.5 psi. It has a normal cycle (on and off)
rate of 2 to 5 cycles per minute.
ACTION: If an inoperative or fast cycling pressure switch is found, use the following diagnostic
charts before replacing the pressure switch.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE:
1. Connect a manifold gauge set to the service ports and check the system pressures. They should
be above the closing pressure of the switch (46 psi).
2. If the A/C system pressures are above 46 psi and the clutch will not engage, proceed as follows:
^ Check the pressure switch harness connector and harness wires for a continuous open condition.
^ Check for an intermittent open or a poor connection between the connector and the pressure
switch terminals.
a. If the harness connector and wires are OK, by-pass the pressure switch by jumping the two
terminals of the connector. If the clutch still does not engage, THE PRESSURE SWITCH IS NOT
DEFECTIVE. Refer to the respective EVTM for the clutch circuit schematic and circuit diagnosis.
Repair as necessary.
3. Check the ambient temperature. If the ambient temperature is below 48~ F (9~ C), the system
pressure will not be high enough to close the pressure switch (46 psi).
4. If the system does not contain refrigerant, the pressure will not be high enough to close the
switch for compressor operation. Leak test, repair, evacuate and charge the system.

AEROSTAR 1988-89 ECONOLINE ISSUE:
Poor air conditioning cooling caused by low or no refrigerant charge often results in unnecessary
replacement of the clutch cycling pressure switch. The switch is designed to work on system
pressure. It closes at about 46 psi and opens at about 24.5 psi. It has a normal cycle (on and off)
rate of 2 to 5 cycles per minute.
ACTION: If an inoperative or fast cycling pressure switch is found, use the following diagnostic
charts before replacing the pressure switch.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE:
1. Connect a manifold gauge set to the service ports and check the system pressures. They should
be above the closing pressure of the switch (46 psi).
2. If the A/C system pressures are above 46 psi and the clutch will not engage, proceed as follows:
^ Check the pressure switch harness connector and harness wires for a continuous open condition.
^ Check for an intermittent open or a poor connection between the connector and the pressure
switch terminals.
a. If the harness connector and wires are OK, by-pass the pressure switch by jumping the two
terminals of the connector. If the clutch still does not engage, THE PRESSURE SWITCH IS NOT
DEFECTIVE. Refer to the respective EVTM for the clutch circuit schematic and circuit diagnosis.
Repair as necessary.
3. Check the ambient temperature. If the ambient temperature is below 48~ F (9~ C), the system
pressure will not be high enough to close the pressure switch (46 psi).
4. If the system does not contain refrigerant, the pressure will not be high enough to close the
switch for compressor operation. Leak test, repair, evacuate and charge the system.

NOTE: This article is being republished in its entirety to include 1986 models.
Installation of "AfterMarket" anti-theft devices such as fuel shutoff and ignition defeating devices
may cause no starts, hard starting, stalls, or damage to vehicle components on Ford vehicles
equipped with electronic engine controls. Possible damage caused by these devices can result
from the following situations:
1. Fuel shutoff devices - Attempting to start the vehicle without disarming this device may cause the
fuel injectors to run dry and overheat, which will lead to failure of the injectors.
2. Ignition defeating devices which ground the ignition/tachometer lead - Attempting to start the
vehicle without disarming may result in ignition coil failure.
Figure 13
In addition, care must be taken when routing underhood after market wiring (see Figure 13 for
proper precautions), in order to avoid electromagnetic interference with electronic engine controls.
The following precautions must be observed:

Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Antitheft and Alarm Systems > System Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Antitheft Devices - Installation Precautions > Page 6179
1. Ignition tach signal wiring must not be randomly routed through the engine compartment.
2. Add-on wiring must not run parallel to secondary (plug) ignition wires.
3. EEC wiring harness (12A581) must not be altered or cut or rerouted.
Failure to observe these warnings may result in damage to vehicle components or drive
deterioration. OTHER APPLICABLE ARTICLES: Supersedes 85-7-8 WARRANTY STATUS:

RPM related ignition noise/alternator whine heard with the radio's volume control set at minimum
sound can be corrected by cutting, taping back and rerouting the #37 (yellow wire) circuit (part of
the 14401 main wiring assembly). The wire should be rerouted from entering the interior of the
vehicle through the passenger's side of the dash panel, across the dash panel and connected to
either the junction block or the auxiliary battery relay (if so equipped) located on the driver's side of
the dash panel. If the unit isn't equipped with either a battery relay or a junction block, the feed wire
should be connected to the existing (unused) take-out (yellow wire/blue one-way connector) in the
14401 wiring assembly entering the engine compartment through the driver's side of the dash
panel. Refer to Figures 18 through 24.

ISSUE: Incomplete clutch release and/or hydraulic fluid leaking into the cab from the clutch master
cylinder may be caused by the reinforcement plate on the clutch master cylinder separating from
the dash panel. The separation of the reinforcement plate reduces the clutch master cylinder
pushrod travel. Reinforcement plate separation can also cause deflection of the clutch master
cylinder that results in a misalignment of the pushrod to the clutch master cylinder. Misalignment
causes the "O" ring in front of the secondary seal to leak hydraulic fluid.
ACTION: Inspect the truck and, if necessary, use the following service procedure to install a
reinforcement kit.
Inspection Procedure
1. If the truck is a 1988 or later model, confirm that the starter interlock switch operates (the engine
can be started) with the clutch pedal at least 0.5" (12.7 mm) from the floor.
2. Test drive the truck and check for good clutch release. There should be no grinding of the gears,
particularly when shifting from neutral to reverse gear.
3. If the truck passes these tests, go to the Small Reinforcement Installation Procedure Section of
this article.
4. If either of the above conditions are not met, check the hydraulic system for air. Refer to the
Suggested Bleeding Procedure at the end of this article.
5. Test drive the truck and check for improved clutch release.
6. If there is no improvement, proceed as follows:
a. Remove the clutch master cylinder pushrod from the release lever pin on the release lever.

Interest: > 90167 > Aug > 90 > M/T - Clutch Fluid Leaks/Incomplete Release > Page 6306
Figure 1
b. Make sure the hole in the pushrod lines up with the pin, for those units requiring a minimal force
for installation, Figure 1.
c. If it does not line up correctly, install an adjustable pushrod (except 1988 and later models) or
replace the clutch release lever (required on 1988 and later models), cutting a new seat on the
cross shaft splines.
7. Test drive the truck again, checking for improved clutch release.

Interest: > 90167 > Aug > 90 > M/T - Clutch Fluid Leaks/Incomplete Release > Page 6307
Figure 2
8. If there is no improvement, inspect the truck for adequate release bearing travel.
^ It should be 11 mm or greater for full pedal travel.
^ Pedal travel at the center of the pedal pad should be 6.75" (171 mm minimum) or more, Figure 2.
9. Release bearing travel and gear grinding noise may indicate the following concerns.
^ If the release bearing is 11 mm or greater and there is grinding of one or two gears only, the
concern is probably with the transmission.
^ If all gears grind, the concern may be with the clutch and/or pilot bearing which will need
replacing.
^ If the release travel is less than 11 mm, check the clutch hydraulic system for air and bleed as
necessary.
10. If the release travel is still less than 11 mm, with all of the above items eliminated, proceed as
follows:
a. Raise the hood, while an assistant operates the clutch pedal.
b. Watch the clutch master cylinder for significant deflection.
Figure 3
c. Look for the dash reinforcement moving away from the dash, Figure 3.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Firewall > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Customer
Interest: > 90167 > Aug > 90 > M/T - Clutch Fluid Leaks/Incomplete Release > Page 6308
d. On 1987 and earlier models, look down inside the cowl cover at the cowl where it is attached to
the dash reinforcement. Check for pulled spot welds.
11. If there is significant movement of the dash or clutch master cylinder, proceed as follows:
a. Remove the steering column and its dash toe plate and seal. Refer to the appropriate Light
Truck Shop Manual, Section 13-07 for service details.
b. Inspect the dash inside the cab and look for:
^ Pulled spotwelds and cracked or torn sheet metal.
^ Cracks in the brake and clutch pedal support
Figure 4
^ Missing Y-brace fasteners and a broken or detached Y-brace, Figure 4.
12. Check the cross shaft bushings for wear if the brake pedal moves when the clutch is depressed
and vise versa. Replace them as required.
NOTE: GENERALLY, TRUCKS WITH SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN 11 MM CLUTCH RELEASE
BEARING TRAVEL (AFTER
COMPLETING THE INSPECTION PROCEDURE AND CORRECTING WHERE NECESSARY)
WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT DASH DAMAGE FROM PULLED SPOTWELDS AND TORN METAL.
THESE TRUCKS WILL REQUIRE EXTENSIVE REPAIR. THEREFORE, GO TO THE LARGE
REINFORCEMENT INSTALLATION PROCEDURE.

Final Inspection
If the truck has been driven for a long period of time with the broken dash and resulting poor clutch
release, the clutch disc could be excessively worn or buckled.
Test drive the truck, evaluating the clutch for clean release. If the release is not satisfactory,
measure the release bearing travel.
^ If it has the required 12 mm at full clutch pedal stroke, then the clutch may need to be replaced.
^ If the release bearing has less than the required release travel, then the hydraulic system
probably needs to be bled.

ISSUE: Incomplete clutch release and/or hydraulic fluid leaking into the cab from the clutch master
cylinder may be caused by the reinforcement plate on the clutch master cylinder separating from
the dash panel. The separation of the reinforcement plate reduces the clutch master cylinder
pushrod travel. Reinforcement plate separation can also cause deflection of the clutch master
cylinder that results in a misalignment of the pushrod to the clutch master cylinder. Misalignment
causes the "O" ring in front of the secondary seal to leak hydraulic fluid.
ACTION: Inspect the truck and, if necessary, use the following service procedure to install a
reinforcement kit.
Inspection Procedure
1. If the truck is a 1988 or later model, confirm that the starter interlock switch operates (the engine
can be started) with the clutch pedal at least 0.5" (12.7 mm) from the floor.
2. Test drive the truck and check for good clutch release. There should be no grinding of the gears,
particularly when shifting from neutral to reverse gear.
3. If the truck passes these tests, go to the Small Reinforcement Installation Procedure Section of
this article.
4. If either of the above conditions are not met, check the hydraulic system for air. Refer to the
Suggested Bleeding Procedure at the end of this article.
5. Test drive the truck and check for improved clutch release.
6. If there is no improvement, proceed as follows:
a. Remove the clutch master cylinder pushrod from the release lever pin on the release lever.

8. If there is no improvement, inspect the truck for adequate release bearing travel.
^ It should be 11 mm or greater for full pedal travel.
^ Pedal travel at the center of the pedal pad should be 6.75" (171 mm minimum) or more, Figure 2.
9. Release bearing travel and gear grinding noise may indicate the following concerns.
^ If the release bearing is 11 mm or greater and there is grinding of one or two gears only, the
concern is probably with the transmission.
^ If all gears grind, the concern may be with the clutch and/or pilot bearing which will need
replacing.
^ If the release travel is less than 11 mm, check the clutch hydraulic system for air and bleed as
necessary.
10. If the release travel is still less than 11 mm, with all of the above items eliminated, proceed as
follows:
a. Raise the hood, while an assistant operates the clutch pedal.
b. Watch the clutch master cylinder for significant deflection.
Figure 3
c. Look for the dash reinforcement moving away from the dash, Figure 3.

Leaks/Incomplete Release > Page 6337
d. On 1987 and earlier models, look down inside the cowl cover at the cowl where it is attached to
the dash reinforcement. Check for pulled spot welds.
11. If there is significant movement of the dash or clutch master cylinder, proceed as follows:
a. Remove the steering column and its dash toe plate and seal. Refer to the appropriate Light
Truck Shop Manual, Section 13-07 for service details.
b. Inspect the dash inside the cab and look for:
^ Pulled spotwelds and cracked or torn sheet metal.
^ Cracks in the brake and clutch pedal support
Figure 4
^ Missing Y-brace fasteners and a broken or detached Y-brace, Figure 4.
12. Check the cross shaft bushings for wear if the brake pedal moves when the clutch is depressed
and vise versa. Replace them as required.
NOTE: GENERALLY, TRUCKS WITH SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN 11 MM CLUTCH RELEASE
BEARING TRAVEL (AFTER
COMPLETING THE INSPECTION PROCEDURE AND CORRECTING WHERE NECESSARY)
WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT DASH DAMAGE FROM PULLED SPOTWELDS AND TORN METAL.
THESE TRUCKS WILL REQUIRE EXTENSIVE REPAIR. THEREFORE, GO TO THE LARGE

Final Inspection
If the truck has been driven for a long period of time with the broken dash and resulting poor clutch
release, the clutch disc could be excessively worn or buckled.
Test drive the truck, evaluating the clutch for clean release. If the release is not satisfactory,
measure the release bearing travel.
^ If it has the required 12 mm at full clutch pedal stroke, then the clutch may need to be replaced.
^ If the release bearing has less than the required release travel, then the hydraulic system
probably needs to be bled.

Final Inspection
If the truck has been driven for a long period of time with the broken dash and resulting poor clutch
release, the clutch disc could be excessively worn or buckled.
Test drive the truck, evaluating the clutch for clean release. If the release is not satisfactory,
measure the release bearing travel.
^ If it has the required 12 mm at full clutch pedal stroke, then the clutch may need to be replaced.
^ If the release bearing has less than the required release travel, then the hydraulic system
probably needs to be bled.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1980-94 BRONCO, F-150-350 SERIES 1988-94 F SUPER DUTY, F-47
This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to add certain 1992/94 model year vehicles, to
revise the nut specified in the article and its torque specification, and to expand the diagnostic and
repair procedures contained in the article.
ISSUE:
A "popping/creaking" sound may come from the area of the # 1 crossmember attachment to the left
frame rail. This occurs because of a slip/stick motion at a loose rivet in the lower flange of the
frame near the steering gear. The rivet could be either a standard cold head rivet in light duty
applications or a "huck" rivet, which has the appearance of a large "pop" Civet.
ACTION:
Use the following diagnostic procedure to determine if the noise is originating in this rivet area. If
so, replace the rivet with a nut, bolt and washer assembly. The revised parts increase the clamp
load at the joint, minimizing the motion that causes the noise. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
SOURCES OF VARIOUS FRONT UNDERBODY NOISES:
Various front underbody noises may originate from several different sources. Several noises have
been misdiagnosed as # 1 crossmember rivet "pop/creak" because the noise tends to propagate to
the shock tower area and the shock tower area acts as an amplifier such that the noises all appear
to be coming from that area. Other underbody areas that produce similar noises include:
^ loose or improperly seated shock tower rivets
^ loose or misaligned transmission crossmembers
^ loose radius arm brackets
^ loose axle pivot brackets
Other service bulletins have been published to address the proper repair of these concerns.
DESCRIPTION OF # 1 CROSSMEMBER NOISES:
"Pop/creak" - A metal-to-metal rubbing motion which slip/sticks when a twist is induced into the
frame.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE:
1. INTERVIEW THE CUSTOMER:
a. Understand the customer's description of the noise and of the conditions under which it is heard.
b. Road test the vehicle with the customer to fully understand where, how and when the noise
occurs.
2. DUPLICATE THE NOISE CONCERN:
a. Drive the vehicle around for at least 15 minutes to warm-up and stress the frame joints, so that
any frame noise is more likely to be repeatable in the garage.
b. Test the following situations:
^ Can the noise be duplicated while stationary and on dry pavement by repeatedly turning the
steering wheel from steering stop to steering stop?
Ford F 150 2wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-351 5.8L (1986))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Frame > Cross-Member > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Customer Interest for Cross-Member: > 94813 > Apr > 94 > Frame/Crossmember - Snapping/Popping Noise >
Page 6379
^ Can the noise be repeated while on the hoist without the suspension loaded by repeatedly turning
the steering wheel from steering stop to steering stop?
Typically, the twist in the frame can be induced by turning the steering wheel back and forth from
steering stop to steering stop to duplicate the noise at the # 1 crossmember attachment. IF THE
NOISE IS NOT DUPLICATED UNDER ONE OF THESE SITUATIONS, INVESTIGATE OTHER
AREAS FOR THE NOISE BEFORE PROCEEDING TO REPAIR THE # 1 CROSSMEMBER
RIVET.
3. INSPECT FRAME BOLTS FOR PROPER INSTALLATION TORQUE:
a. Inspect and tighten all front end components which bolt to the frame to confirm they are at the
proper torque. This includes, but is not limited to:
^ Radius arm bracket bolts - 135 +/- 20 N-m (100 +/- 15 lb.ft.)
^ Axle pivot bracket bolts (torques vary by model - refer to the appropriate light truck Service
Manual for proper torque specifications)
^ Bumper bracket bolts - (refer to the appropriate light truck Service Manual for proper torque
specifications)
b. Inspect the transmission crossmember for proper alignment and bolt torques. If misaligned:
^ Loosen all transmission crossmember fasteners (including to the transmission).
^ Lift the transmission to remove any load on the crossmember.
^ Lift and reposition the transmission crossmember to be centered on the frame attachment holes.
^ Tighten all frame fasteners to the 63 +/- 9 N-m (46 +/- 7 lb.ft.).
^ Lower the transmission and tighten fasteners to 95 +/- 15 N-m (70 +/- 11 lb.ft.).
4. TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE
Road test the vehicle again to duplicate the concern. If the noise is still present, continue.
5. INSPECT THE FRAME RIVETS
a. Repeat Step 2 to duplicate the noise in the garage.
b. Use a stethoscope or chassis ears to isolate the area of the chassis that the noise appears to be
originating from. Areas to check include the shock tower rivets and all # 1 crossmember rivets.
6. SERVICE THE VEHICLE
a. If the noise appears to be from the lower left-front # 1 crossmember fastener, follow the
procedure outlined below.
b. If the noise appears to be coming from another rivet (other than the lower left front # 1
crossmember rivet), refer to TSB 93-6-10 for the proper rivet repair procedure.

GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING SPACER USAGE
The purpose of the spacer is to allow the flexibility of phasing in future lock designs without having
to coordinate doors and locks in production or having to maintain two unique service doors. In
general, the spacers are to be used with new doors (large hole) and old locks. The new doors are
being phased in ahead of the new locks.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Paint, Striping and Decals > Paint > System Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > By Symptom: > 931910 > Sep > 93 > Paint - Peel Repair Procedures Update > Page 6449
b. Inspect the adhesive side of the tape for paint removal.
c. If paint was removed during the tape test, above and below the character line, repaint the entire
vehicle.
d. If the paint was removed only from areas above the character line, repaint only the horizontal
surfaces of the vehicle (entire area above the character line), Figure 1.
3. No repainting will be completed unless body damage (dings, dents, rust) is repaired prior to
refinishing.
^ If the vehicle is within the corrosion and perforation warranty, the vehicle should be handled
through that program's provisions.
^ If the vehicle is out of warranty, the customer must agree to pay for the cost of sheetmetal repair
of the damaged areas.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Mask off all areas on the vehicle which are not going to be painted or will be affected by
overspray.
2. Use ONLY the following recommended stripping methods.
CAUTION: COMPLETELY STRIP (TO BARE METAL) ALL PANELS TO BE REFINISHED.
PAINT STRIPPING INFORMATION
WARNING: LEAD CONTAMINATION POTENTIAL - THE ELECTROCOAT PRIMER USED BY
FORD MOTOR COMPANY CONTAINS SMALL AMOUNTS OF LEAD FOR CORROSION
PROTECTION OF STEEL. READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY AND
FORWARD THIS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ARTICLE TO ALL EMPLOYEES
PERFORMING THE PAINT REMOVAL OPERATION. DEALERS SHOULD CONTACT LEGAL
COUNSEL AND/OR LOCAL OSHA AUTHORITIES FOR DIRECTION REGARDING LEAD
EXPOSURE REQUIREMENTS.
RECOMMENDED SANDING PROCEDURE
Ford Motor Company has concluded testing an appropriate method for performing sanding and
media blasting in accordance with Federal OSHA Lead Standard CFR 1910.1025.
Under this method...
Ford F 150 2wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-351 5.8L (1986))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Paint, Striping and Decals > Paint > System Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > By Symptom: > 931910 > Sep > 93 > Paint - Peel Repair Procedures Update > Page 6450
^ Each technician performing the sanding operation MUST wear an approved respirator with high
efficiency particulate filters (HEPA).
^ Technicians should use a dual action sander with vacuum collection equipment.
^ The vacuum equipment MUST be equipped with a HEPA filter on the air exhaust. Dealers are
cautioned not to exhaust vacuum air into the atmosphere and operators are cautioned to follow the
manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance or replacement of the filters.
Remove all paint by sanding the affected areas to clean bare metal. Use 80/180 grit 3M Green
Corp. Regalite Dust Free sanding discs or equivalent on a D.A. vacuum sander.
RECOMMENDED PLASTIC MEDIA BLASTING PROCEDURE
Ford's testing has shown that plastic media blasting meets OSHA lead standard requirements and
is efficient when the manufacturer's published procedures are followed.
The operator must wear an air supplied hood using compressed air free from carbon monoxide, oil,
water, and other contamination when performing this operation. This process is safe to the operator
and resists damage to vehicle sheet metal.
Plastic is the most popular blasting media for paint removal. Plastic media blasting requires
removal of the remaining paint from the masked areas, and a light and fast sanding of the entire
vehicle using a dual action sander with 220 grit sandpaper. This surface preparation will provide
excellent paint adhesion. Other blast media such as Aluminum Oxide or Sodium Bicarbonate are
not recommended.
CHEMICAL STRIPPING NOT RECOMMENDED
Ford Motor Company does not condone the use of chemical stripping. A majority of the chemical
stripping products contain the chemical Methylene Chloride. This chemical is on the Environmental
Protection Agency's list of regulated chemicals and is on OSHA's list of chemicals with permissible
exposure limits. Injury to employees or the environment could result if proper precautions are not
taken during its use.
MIL THICKNESS READINGS OF "BARE STEEL"
After removing all of the paint from the vehicle, zinc phosphate and galvanized steel coatings are
left intact. The following information details the steel coatings systems and body panels which have
these systems:
^ (1985-1986) All body panels have Zinc Phosphate metal coating to a thickness of 0.0-0.1 of a mil.
^ (1987-1991) All body panels EXCEPT cowl, fenders, and bed side panels have Zinc Phosphate
metal coating to a thickness of 0.0 - 0.1 of a mil.
^ (1987-1991) The cowl, fenders, and bed side panels are Galvanized to a thickness of 0.3-0.5 of a
mil.
These specifications will effect the overall paint thickness readings.
3. If minor rust is present, remove by sanding or use a small blast and vacuum system.
4. Blow off the entire vehicle to remove loose dust and debris.
5. After stripping, mask all areas on the vehicle that are not to be painted or will be affected by
paint overspray (engine compartment, wheels, etc.). Mask all mouldings not removed with Scotch
Auto Body Protective Tape # 06945.
SURFACE PREPARATION
6. Wipe all affected areas with a fast drying solvent. Wipe dry using a clean, lint-free cloth to
remove all residue.
CAUTION: KEEP WIPING UNTIL SURFACE IS COMPLETELY DRY. ANY RESIDUE MAY
RESULT IN CONTAMINATION OF THE COATINGS TO BE APPLIED FOLLOWING THIS STEP.

ISSUE: Ferrous metal particles (hot iron dust) are generated by manufacturing facilities, rail
shipments, combustion engines, jet engines, body shops, etc. These particles
mechanically/magnetically bond to vehicles' painted surfaces. Moisture and temperature combine
with the particles to create a chemical reaction. The reaction causes the particles to corrode and
enter into the physical paint film.
ACTION: To remove these particles/contaminants, USE ONLY the following procedure. The
procedure must be performed before any buffing, polishing, color sanding or refinishing is
attempted. The materials in this procedure are alkaline, acidic and neutral. They must be used in
the specified order.
CAUTION:
ANY CHANGES TO THIS PROCEDURE WILL CAUSE AN INCOMPLETE OR
UNSATISFACTORY REPAIR AND MAY RESULT IN

NOTE:
FORD DOES NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF OXALIC ACIDS OR OTHER "FALLOUT
REMOVERS".
1. Rinse off dust and debris with cold water. Be sure to start at the bottom and work up.
2. Prepare product "1119" by mixing one (1) part "1119" with four (4) parts cold water.
3. Use clean wash mitt and apply mixture to entire car, starting at the bottom and working up to the
top surface. Keep car wet with the solution for 5 to 10 minutes. Do not allow product to dry on the
car, and do not allow it to streak down the sides. Rewipe with mitt if necessary to avoid streaks.
4. Rinse car with cold water.
5. Dry the flat surfaces of the vehicle hood, roof and deck lid.
6. Apply product "883" directly to the contaminated surfaces using a clean dry sponge, wash mitt,
or soft truck brush ("883" is ready to use from the bottle, with no mixing involved). Keep the areas
wet with the "883" for 5 to 7 minutes. Do not allow to dry on the car. Wipe down to the body line on
the sides.
7. Prepare product "118SC" by mixing 1 oz (0.03 L) with 1 gal (3.785 L) of water.
8. Shampoo the vehicle with "118SC" shampoo mixture using a clean wash mitt and then rinse with
cold water.
NOTE:
DO NOT USE "1185C" MITT WITH "1119" OR "883" SOLUTIONS. USE SEPARATE MITTS AND
ALWAYS KEEP THEM SEPARATE.
9. Inspect paint surface to see if rust particles have been removed. If rust particles have been on
the vehicle for a long time, it may be necessary to repeat each of the above steps.

CORRECTION OF SURFACE FOLLOWING DECONTAMINATION:
1. Visually inspect surface for evidence of removal of ferrous metal particles, crystalline deposits
and water spots. Acid rain discoloring or etching will require either buffing, color sanding or
refinishing if etching is visible.
2. Use the buffing products from only one (1) manufacturer. Do not intermix products.
3. Always follow the manufacturer's product sequence. Use appropriate pads with each product as
recommended by the manufacturer.
NOTE:
DO NOT REMOVE MORE THAN 0.3 OF A MIL OF PAINT MATERIAL, OR REPAINTING WILL BE
REQUIRED.
4. Use a dual action sander (D/A Sander) with a velcro-mount backing plate and appropriate foam
pad for final polishing swirl removal.
5. Use an alcohol and water mixture (1:4 ratio) to clean buffed areas to verify removal of scratches
and swirls before application of final protective glaze.
NOTE:
FREQUENT WASHING OF VEHICLES IS IMPORTANT. CONTAMINANTS SETTLE ONTO THE
VEHICLE EVERY DAY. USE CLEAN WATER (DEIONIZED, REVERSE OSMOSIS, ETC.) TWICE
WEEKLY TO REMOVE HEAVY DUST, AND PARTICULATES. THE USE OF A NEUTRAL pH
CAR WASH SOAP EVERY TWO (2) WEEKS IS RECOMMENDED TO NEUTRALIZE VEHICLE
CONTAMINATION.

ISSUE: This procedure is being published to advise all body and paint technicians about proper
procedures for preparation of sheet metal parts coated with electrodeposition primer (E-Coat).
ACTION: When prepping a replacement body panel for installation, it is mandatory to leave the
E-Coat intact. DO NOT SAND OFF THE E-COAT.
Improper preparation with excessive sanding of the E-Coat to bare metal will jeopardize the sheet
metal warranty and overall customer satisfaction. In particular, the E-Coat is necessary to protect
the parts from rust. Light scuff sanding using a Scotch Brite pad or wet 320 grit sand paper is
recommended for minor flaws. If a minor flaw exists, wet sand or scuff out the flaw and prime the
repair area. Again, do not remove all of the E-Coat from the panel.

FORWARD THIS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ARTICLE TO ALL EMPLOYEES
PERFORMING THE PAINT REMOVAL OPERATION. DEALERS SHOULD CONTACT LEGAL
COUNSEL AND/OR LOCAL OSHA AUTHORITIES FOR DIRECTION REGARDING LEAD
EXPOSURE REQUIREMENTS.
RECOMMENDED SANDING PROCEDURE
Ford Motor Company has concluded testing an appropriate method for performing sanding and
media blasting in accordance with Federal OSHA Lead Standard CFR 1910.1025.
Under this method...

Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Paint: > 931910 > Sep > 93 > Paint - Peel Repair Procedures Update > Page
6486
^ Each technician performing the sanding operation MUST wear an approved respirator with high
efficiency particulate filters (HEPA).
^ Technicians should use a dual action sander with vacuum collection equipment.
^ The vacuum equipment MUST be equipped with a HEPA filter on the air exhaust. Dealers are
cautioned not to exhaust vacuum air into the atmosphere and operators are cautioned to follow the
manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance or replacement of the filters.
Remove all paint by sanding the affected areas to clean bare metal. Use 80/180 grit 3M Green
Corp. Regalite Dust Free sanding discs or equivalent on a D.A. vacuum sander.
RECOMMENDED PLASTIC MEDIA BLASTING PROCEDURE
Ford's testing has shown that plastic media blasting meets OSHA lead standard requirements and
is efficient when the manufacturer's published procedures are followed.
The operator must wear an air supplied hood using compressed air free from carbon monoxide, oil,
water, and other contamination when performing this operation. This process is safe to the operator
and resists damage to vehicle sheet metal.
Plastic is the most popular blasting media for paint removal. Plastic media blasting requires
removal of the remaining paint from the masked areas, and a light and fast sanding of the entire
vehicle using a dual action sander with 220 grit sandpaper. This surface preparation will provide
excellent paint adhesion. Other blast media such as Aluminum Oxide or Sodium Bicarbonate are
not recommended.
CHEMICAL STRIPPING NOT RECOMMENDED
Ford Motor Company does not condone the use of chemical stripping. A majority of the chemical
stripping products contain the chemical Methylene Chloride. This chemical is on the Environmental
Protection Agency's list of regulated chemicals and is on OSHA's list of chemicals with permissible
exposure limits. Injury to employees or the environment could result if proper precautions are not
taken during its use.
MIL THICKNESS READINGS OF "BARE STEEL"
After removing all of the paint from the vehicle, zinc phosphate and galvanized steel coatings are
left intact. The following information details the steel coatings systems and body panels which have
these systems:
^ (1985-1986) All body panels have Zinc Phosphate metal coating to a thickness of 0.0-0.1 of a mil.
^ (1987-1991) All body panels EXCEPT cowl, fenders, and bed side panels have Zinc Phosphate
metal coating to a thickness of 0.0 - 0.1 of a mil.
^ (1987-1991) The cowl, fenders, and bed side panels are Galvanized to a thickness of 0.3-0.5 of a
mil.
These specifications will effect the overall paint thickness readings.
3. If minor rust is present, remove by sanding or use a small blast and vacuum system.
4. Blow off the entire vehicle to remove loose dust and debris.
5. After stripping, mask all areas on the vehicle that are not to be painted or will be affected by
paint overspray (engine compartment, wheels, etc.). Mask all mouldings not removed with Scotch
Auto Body Protective Tape # 06945.
SURFACE PREPARATION
6. Wipe all affected areas with a fast drying solvent. Wipe dry using a clean, lint-free cloth to
remove all residue.
CAUTION: KEEP WIPING UNTIL SURFACE IS COMPLETELY DRY. ANY RESIDUE MAY
RESULT IN CONTAMINATION OF THE COATINGS TO BE APPLIED FOLLOWING THIS STEP.

(C) Lower Body Stone Protection Repair Tips
Ford has introduced a vinyl anti-stone abrasion material for the lower exterior body surfaces of
selected passenger vehicles and light trucks. The anti-stone abrasion material is applied to the
lower fenders, rocker panels, lower doors, quarter panel dogleg, and lower rear of quarter panel
behind the wheel. The anti-stone abrasion material will usually end at a body character line.

Procedures > Page 6510
While primarily for servicing of factory-applied protective coating, the following provides installation
information. If the vehicle has experienced body damage in the factory-applied material protective
area, the sheet metal damage must be serviced prior to the application of the new protective
coating.
SMALL AREAS - MINOR DEFECTS (VEHICLES WITH FACTORY SPRAYED-ON VINYL)
A small dent in the sheet metal that did not mar the vinyl surface, can possibly be corrected with
proper bumping tools without damage to the vinyl coating. However, noticeable scratches or
gouges (not over 1/2 inch in diameter) or dings and dents that when "ironed out" show vinyl
damage, can be satisfactorily serviced with the following procedure:
1. Solvent-wipe the damaged area with "Silicone and Wax Remover."
2. Using a heat gun or lamp, soften the vinyl coating of the damaged area until it can be scraped off
with a putty knife or a similar tool. If necessary, sand off any hard to remove coating using an
orbital disc sander (No. 80 Disc). (The spray-on vinyl protective coatings may not be suitable for
"spot" application. See Manufacturer's label for instructions.)
3. Perform necessary servicing to correct the sheet metal damage.
4. Using white bodyfiller, fill the damaged area. Follow the instructions on the label and blend the
bodyfiller with the surrounding sheet metal.
5. Allow the bodyfiller to completely cure and then carefully sand the area smooth, removing any
high spots.
6. Refer to "Spray Procedure" for restoration of vinyl anti-stone abrasion material.
LARGE DAMAGED AREAS - VEHICLE WITH FACTORY SPRAYED ON VINYL
Peeling or damage over a large area will necessitate removal of the factory sprayed-on vinyl
coating. The following procedure is suggested.
NOTE: WHERE SHEET METAL IS DAMAGED TO THE EXTENT THAT A FENDER, DOOR, OR
QUARTER PANEL REPLACEMENT IS
REQUIRED (OR IN AN INITIAL INSTALLATION), DISREGARD STEPS NO. 1 AND NO. 2.
1. Using a heat gun or lamp, soften the vinyl coating until it is pliable. Scrape coating off with a
putty knife or a similar tool. If necessary, sand off any hard to remove coating using an orbital disc
sander (No. 80 Disc). (The vinyl material, abrasion resistant coating may not be suitable for "spot"
applications. See manufacturer's label for instructions.)
2. Perform necessary servicing to correct the sheet metal damage.
3. Refer to "Spray Procedure" for restoration of vinyl anti-stone abrasion material.
COATING APPLICATIONS
Approximately two quarts will be required for an initial installation on a passenger car or F-Series.
Slightly more will be required for an Econoline. The specified dry film thickness of 15 to 20 mils
(.015 to .020 inch) will require at least three, possibly four, applications of coating material, with
"flash off" time between coats. Spray coat complete panels only.
The coating must be applied with commercial equipment by an experienced automotive painter.
The coating must be thoroughly agitated before application. The material is heavy bodied. A
pressure cup spray gun or "Rocker Schutz Gun" is recommended.
COATING PREPARATION - MASKING VEHICLE
Install suitable covers over the wheels.
NOTE: IF THE VEHICLE HAS LOWER BODY SIDE MOULDINGS (12-14 INCHES ABOVE THE
"TURN UNDER" OF THE ROCKER PANEL),
THE MOULDING CAN SERVE AS THE UPPER MARGIN OF THE AREA TO BE COATED. IF
THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE SUITABLE MOULDINGS, A SCULPTURE OR BREAK LINE IN
THE SHEET METAL CAN BE UTILIZED. THIS LINE SHOULD BE SELECTED TO ENSURE
ADEQUATE PROTECTION OF THE PAINTED SURFACES.
VEHICLES WITH BODY SIDE MOULDINGS
1. Masking tape should be positioned so that the moulding lower edge is also covered. The
adjoining sheet metal should be left uncovered too so anti-stone, abrasion vinyl can be applied.
VEHICLES WITHOUT BODY SIDE MOULDINGS
2. If the contour of the body side has a break line, the upper coating margin must be masked off
using 3M "Fine Line" Tape.
Ford F 150 2wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-351 5.8L (1986))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Paint, Striping and Decals > Paint > System Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Paint: > 91181 > Sep > 91 > Exterior Paint - Comprehensive Repair
Procedures > Page 6511
a. The normal masking tape and paper protection for the body side should be applied first and
positioned about a quarter inch above the margin line.
b. The "Fine Line" tape should then be applied over the regular masking tape with the lower edge
at the upper coating margin line. Extend this "Fine Line" tape into the wheel opening, in the
absence of wheel opening mouldings, allowing the flange to be coated.
c. The anti-stone abrasion coating does not adhere well to flexible plastic parts. If left exposed, they
must be masked off.
d. It is not necessary to mask off the body door openings in the coating area, as they will be
uniformly coated where the door margins allow the coating to enter.
NOTE: DOOR OPENING AREAS SHOULD BE CLEANED TO ASSURE COATING ADHERENCE.
COATING PREPARATION - SHEET METAL
REPAIRED SHEETMETAL
1. Scuff sand (No. 180 Grit Paper) the glossy surface of the painted areas to be coated.
2. Using a clean, lint-free cloth, solvent wipe the area to be coated with wax and grease remover.
3. Remove sanding dust using compressed air and lint-free tack cloth.
NEW SHEET METAL
1. Sand off (No. 180 Grit Paper) the prime paint in the area to be coated.
2. Using a lint-free cloth, solvent wipe the area to be coated with wax and grease remover.
3. Remove sanding dust using compressed air and a lint-free tack cloth.
NEW INSTALLATION
1. The glossy surface of the paint in the coating area must be sanded with a D/A sander. A 220/240
Grit Disc does a good, fast job. DO NOT sand through the primer.
2. Using a clean, lint-free cloth, solvent wipe the area to be coated with wax and grease remover.
3. Remove sanding dust using compressed air and a lint-free tack cloth.
SPRAY PROCEDURE
The lower exposed painted fender, rocker, and quarter panel down flanges should be protected.
The vehicle must be elevated high enough so that the painter can spray this area effectively. When
an initial installation is to be made, a remote two-quart capacity pressure cup makes a much more
efficient tool, as the spray gun can be used closer to the floor. The spray gun, fluid hose and/or cup
must be cleaned immediately after use. Refer to manufacturer's recommended cleaning procedure.
Lacquer thinner can be used when the suggested clean up material is unavailable.
WARNING: WEAR A NOISHA/MSHA RECOMMENDED VAPOR/PARTICULATE RESPIRATOR
AND USE ALL OTHER RECOMMENDED SAFETY EOUIPMENT.
1. After preparing the new or damaged area(s), mix either Epoxy primer or Self-etch prime, per
manufacturer's label instructions, and spray bare metal areas.
^ BASF DE15 or DE17
^ Sikkens Metalflex CR Primer (1 coat only)
^ DuPont Variprime
^ S-W E2G 980 GBP Etching Filler
^ PPG DP 40 (only)
2. Apply 1-2 light prime coats over the bare metal areas.

NOTE: SOME ANTI-STONE ABRASION MATERIAL MAY REQUIRE A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT
MIXING PREPARATION, PROCEDURE
AND APPLICATION. SOME ANTI-STONE ABRASION MATERIALS CAN NOT BE USED FOR
SPOT REPAIR. CHECK WITH THE PAINT MANUFACTURER FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
ABOUT THEIR PRODUCT.
5. Allow the stone abrasion material to dry. Heat can be used to accelerate the drying time. Check
the manufacturer's instructions.
COLOR COAT
The complete coated area, as well as the upper raw edge, must be covered with color coat. Mask
off the upper margin line using "Fine Line" tape positioned 1/16 inch above the coating edge. Using
appropriate service paint and application procedures, the protective coating area can now be finish
painted with monocoat or a basecoat/clearcoat urethane system.
NOTE: IF DAMAGED SHEET METAL EXTENDS ABOVE THE PROTECTIVE COATING AREA,
NORMAL PRIME/COLOR PAINT PROCEDURES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED.
CAUTION: OUR ENVIRONMENT IS PRECIOUS - PLEASE USE PROPER DISPOSAL

(E) Lower Body-Side Stone Chip Protection Program
Ford Motor Company has recently initiated a program to provide improved stone-chip protection on
some vehicles and to increase the corrosion protection on cars and trucks.
Some customers are unaware of body side anti-stone chip protection which appears as wavy
orange peel texture on the lower body areas.
Ford is increasing the use of PVC (poly vinyl chloride) material which is applied in a thicker coating
on the lower body-side. This material has been in use on vehicles destined for the Canadian
market for many years.
This PVC material is now applied at the following plants on ALL vehicles.
^ Edison - Ranger
^ Hermosillo - Escort/Tracer
^ Louisville - Ranger and Explorer
^ Ohio Truck - Econoline
^ Wayne - Escort/Tracer
This process is also planned for Kansas City, Oakville, Twin Cities and Wixom.
This material can be identified by the "orange peel" appearance and a visible "break-line" between
protected and unprotected areas in the lower body areas.
CAUTION: THIS PROTECTION MUST NOT BE REMOVED IF VEHICLE IS EXPECTED TO
MAINTAIN THE CORROSION PROTECTION.
Some customers have expressed concerns due to the appearance of the treated areas. These
customers did not know about the extra protection this material provides their vehicle. Once
explained, customers were pleased with the added protection and accepted the orange peel finish.
NOTE: DEALERS SHOULD ADVISE THEIR SALES PEOPLE, SERVICE PEOPLE, AND
CUSTOMERS, OF THE REASONS AND BENEFITS
OF THIS PROTECTION. CANADIAN DEALERS STRESS THIS AS A SELLING POINT WITH
THEIR SALES PEOPLE. IT IS CONSIDERED A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE.
(F) Surface Defect Removal Without Repainting
Exterior paint surface damage or imperfections, where the primer coat does not show through,
should be restored without repainting. The restoration of gloss and luster, after the condition has
been repaired, is possible with new techniques and improved materials.
The following procedure is applicable to surface conditions such as dirt particles, orange peel, runs,
sags, industrial fallout stains, swirl marks, light scratches and other minor surface imperfections.
For dirt particles or scratches in several localized areas, the entire panel should be refinished to
maintain a uniform appearance.
PREPARATION
To repair the affected surface it must be clean and dry. Mask off adjacent panels, mouldings, stripe
and character lines as required.
CAUTION: EYE PROTECTION, AND FACE MASK SHOULD BE WORN. RINGS, BRACELETS,
WATCHES AND BELT BUCKLES MUST BE
REMOVED TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE TO PAINT FINISH.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Remove sanding marks with rubbing compound.

Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Paint: > 91181 > Sep > 91 > Exterior Paint - Comprehensive Repair
Procedures > Page 6517
2. Swirl marks, evident after buffing, are removed by polishing.
3. Remove light scratches and small dirt particles with a power buffer and medium buffing
compound followed with polishing.
4. Remove deeper scratches and heavy dirt particles or orange peel, by wet sanding.
5. Buff with compound to remove the sanding marks and then polish to remove the swirl marks
from the buffing operation.
NOTE: PERFORM A TRIAL REPAIR WITH A SMALL AREA. FIRST, TRY POLISHING; IF THIS IS
NOT SUCCESSFUL, TRY BUFFING
AND, FINALLY, USE WET SANDING TO REMOVE THE CONDITION. USE MOST EFFECTIVE
TECHNIQUE ON REMAINDER OF AREAS. AN OUTLINE OF THE COMPLETE PROCEDURE
AND REQUIRED MATERIALS FOLLOWS.
POLISHING - VERY MINOR SCRATCHES OR SWIRL MARKS AND/OR RESTORING A DULL
FINISH
1. Apply a small amount of Meguiar's Mirror Glaze, or equivalent, to the affected panel (or pad).
2. Use a suitable electric or air powered polish/buffing wheel (1750 max. RPM) and a Meguiar's
Finesse Polishing Pad, or equivalent, to polish the affected area until all swirl marks are gone and
desired luster is obtained.
3. When polishing, keep the pad flat against the surface. Do not bear down. The weight of the
buffer is sufficient.
CAUTION: DO NOT MIX PRODUCTS! USE A SEPARATE, DEDICATED BUFFING PAD FOR
EACH PRODUCT TO ACHIEVE DESIRED
RESULTS.
Variable speed buffers are available in a variety of buffing speeds. The recommended speed range
is 1200-1750 RPM.
COMPOUNDING - LIGHT SCRATCHES, SMALL DIRT PARTICLES, MINOR GRIND MARKS,
AND SANDING MARKS
1. Apply Meguiar's Rubbing Compound (medium) or equivalent to the panel with a clean compound
pad on the wheel.
2. Spread the compound evenly and continue buffing until the condition is removed.
3. Keep the wheel flat to the surface and use light to moderate pressure and long strokes.
4. Periodically check the finish and add compound as required.
5. When buffing is complete, polish the panel as described previously.
Twisted wool cutting pads are the most effective compounding pads to use with Glaze Machine
Cleaner for removing paint defects and heavy oxidation. Following the use of a wool compounding
pad, it may be necessary to polish the finish with No. 2 Mirror Glaze Hi-Tech Cleaner using a Mirror
Glaze Finesse Polishing Pad to remove the deep swirl marks.
GENERAL TECHNIQUES AND HINTS
^ "Foam" buffing pads create added gloss and depth of color on all types of paint finishes without
creating buffer swirl marks.
^ When "buffing out" oxidation or other paint defects with a cleaning material, use a liberal amount
of material, slower buffing motion and added downward pressure to increase cutting action.
^ Always apply cleaner to buffing pad, not directly on the oxidized paint surface. Dry paint absorbs
material into pores upon contact.
^ Always keep the face of the buffing pad completely flat to the surface, reducing the risk of buffer
swirl marks. Watch your pad, especially on angled surfaces, to be certain that it stays flat.
^ Avoid short rapid strokes. Move the buffer slowly across the surface using long straight motions
and overlap by 50% the buffing pattern left by the previous pass. This insures uniform coverage
and allows both material and buffer to perform at maximum efficiency.
^ Avoid buffing directly on raised character lines. The reduced paint film on these surfaces
increases the risk of paint burn through. It is best to buff up to them from each side.
^ Always use a "wet buff" technique on a basecoat/clearcoat finish. This is a precaution against
buffer swirls. Stop buffing just after the product begins to break down and before an overall dry,
glossy finish appears. After "wet buffing", use a towel to wipe off the excess material.
^ Always use a "dry buff" technique on light colored, conventional paint finishes. Continue buffing
until the material breaks down and only a slight film remains for final wipe off.

Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Paint: > 91181 > Sep > 91 > Exterior Paint - Comprehensive Repair
Procedures > Page 6518
^ If a paint blemish remains after buffing, reapply a small amount of material over the blemish.
Confine your buffing strokes to the immediate area of the blemish while applying additional
downward pressure and keeping the pad flat.
NOTE: ALWAYS KEEP THE PAD MOVING AND LIMIT YOUR STROKES OVER THE BLEMISH
TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE HEAT
BUILD-UP AND POSSIBLE BURN THROUGH. STOP IMMEDIATELY IF THE SURFACE
BECOMES TOO HOT TO LAY THE PALM OF YOUR HAND ON IT.
NOTE: HEAT BUILD-UP: WHEN BUFFING CREATES EXCESSIVE HEAT, HAZING MAY
APPEAR ACROSS THE SURFACE BEING
BUFFED AND THE PRODUCT MAY DRY LIKE A FILM AND REFUSE TO BUFF OUT. TO
REMEDY, WIPE THE AREA DOWN WITH COOL WATER, DRY THE SURFACE AND RESUME
BUFFING ... AT A LOWER RPM IF POSSIBLE.
NOTE: STATIC: STATIC ELECTRICITY MAY BE PRESENT ON PAINTED
FIBERGLASS/PLASTIC SURFACE BEING BUFFED, THE
MATERIAL MAY DRY LIKE A FILM OR TURN "GUMMY" AND BEGIN TO BALL UP. TO
REMEDY, GROUND THE SURFACE BEING BUFFED TO METAL.
WET SANDING
Paint defects and sanding marks must be completely removed without using compounds and
abrasive cleaners that scar the finish.
Mirror Glaze Hi-Tech Finesse Sanding Papers provide uniformity in grit particle size and
distribution. Using these precision made sanding papers, water sanding marks can be removed
with Meguiar's cleaner and finesse polishing pads.
^ Typical paint defects that are repaired with this system include: dirt-in paint, solvent pop,
cratering, orange peel, drips, scratches, water spots, and acid rain.
^ Always use the least abrasive (highest grit) sanding products possible to do this job.
The following wet sanding procedure utilizes light grit sand paper or sanding blocks for removal of
surface damage. These materials cut quickly leaving a uniform finish requiring a minimum of
buffing to restore gloss.
PROCEDURE
1. Squeeze water to flush the area to be sanded. Continue to flush water to the surface during
sanding for maximum lubrication.
2. Use small circular motions to contain the abrasion to the immediate area of the defect. Keep the
blocks in water when not in use.
3. If the sanding block is cutting too slow, switch to a lower grade block and resume sanding. When
90% of the defect is removed, switch to a 2000 grade Finesse Sanding Paper or Sanding Block to
finish smoothing and prepare the surface for buffing.
4. Finesse Sanding Blocks can be shaped to work on any angle. When the block is wet, rub it
against a dry sanding block for shaping.
5. When using Finesse Sanding Papers, wrap the paper tightly around a E-7200 Backing Pad. This
pad evenly distributes pressure over the entire surface of the sanding paper. This creates a uniform
sanding pattern.
6. Plan your strokes to limit the abrasion to the smallest area possible.
NOTE: ALWAYS SAND IN ONE DIRECTION AND KEEP YOUR STROKES STRAIGHT.
7. Always finish sanding with 2000 Grit Finesse Sanding Paper. This eliminates the need for
compounding.
8. Buff out sanding marks by applying Meguiar's Cleaner with a Finesse "Foam" Polishing Pad.
Follow with a Mirror Glaze Polish for swirl-free gloss.

RUNS AND SAGS REMOVAL
This procedure consists of shaving the run or sag flush with a commercial single edge razor blade,
shaving file or sanding with a hard block and then compounding.
NOTE: IF IT IS NECESSARY TO SHAVE RUNS AND SAGS WITH A RAZOR BLADE, FIRST
DULL THE CORNERS WITH SANDPAPER TO AVOID SCRATCHING THE ADJACENT PANEL
FINISH.

(G) Color Compatible Spray Primer Chart
Ford has released color compatible spray primers for exterior and some interior surfaces.
Colored sprayed primers are being used by our "Best-in-Class" competition and are now being
implemented at Ford in order to improve process capability and to help in minimizing unsightly
paint chipping from stone abrasion. Color keyed (matched) spray primer for exterior body colors is
being used in an effort to help in the elimination of unsightly paint chipping from stone abrasion.
As with "Best-In-Class" competition, the engine compartment will be left with color compatible
primer only and not be topcoated as per past practice.

ISSUE: A service repair procedure has been developed to restore damaged factory-applied lower
body stone protection vinyl material.
ACTION: If service is required, use the following procedure to restore damaged lower body stone
protected areas.
This abrasion resistant coating material (D9AZ-19515-A) is primarily for repair of factory-applied
protective coatings. However, this material may also be installed on previously unprotected
vehicles.
If the vehicle has body damage in the area of the factory-applied coating, body damage must be
repaired before repairing the protective coating.
WARNING: WHENEVER USING PAINT, SOLVENT, REFINISHING OR RECONDITIONING
MATERIALS, WEAR A NOSE OR FACE MASK, PLUS HAVE ADEQUATE VENTILATION IN THE
WORK AREA.
Large Repair Areas
A large repair area, resulting from peeling or damage, will require removal of the factory-applied
vinyl coating.
NOTE: WHERE SHEET METAL IS DAMAGED TO THE EXTENT THAT A FENDER, DOOR OR
QUARTER PANEL REPLACEMENT IS REQUIRED, (OR IN AN INITIAL INSTALLATION), SKIP
STEPS # 1 - 3.
1. Use a heat gun or lamp to soften the vinyl coating until it is pliable.
2. Scrape off the softened vinyl with a putty knife or similar tool. If necessary, sand off any
hard-to-remove vinyl coating using an orbital disc sander (# 80 Disc).
NOTE: THE REPAIR MATERIAL, ABRASION RESISTANT COATING (D9AZ-19515-A), IS NOT
SUITABLE FOR "SPOT" REPAIRS. THE
OLD COATING MUST BE REMOVED COMPLETELY FROM EACH DAMAGED PANEL.
3. Make the necessary repairs to the sheet metal.
Coating Preparation and Applications:
The abrasion resistant coating is available in quart cans. About two quarts will be required for an
initial installation on a passenger car similar to a factory-applied system. Slightly more will be
required for a larger vehicle such as an Econoline.
The specified dry film thickness of 15 to 20 mils (.015 to .020") will require at least three or possibly
four applications of coating material, with flash off time allowed between coats. As with painting,
spray coat the complete lower panel.
The adherence of this coating to properly prepared sheet metal is excellent and it is not necessary
to prime the repaired sheet metal. However, adhesion will be adversely affected unless the sheet
metal (either repaired or new) is prepared in accordance with the following procedure.
Coating Preparation - Masking Car
1. Install covers over the wheels.
2. Determine the area to be coated.
^ If the vehicle has lower body side mouldings (12-14" above the "turn under" of the rocker Panel),
the moulding can serve as the upper margin of the area to be coated.
^ If the vehicle does not have suitable mouldings, a sculpture or break line in the sheet metal can
be used.
^ The method used in masking off the upper coating margin line will depend on the presence or
absence of mouldings in this area.
VEHICLES WITH SIDE MOULDINGS
3. Position the masking tape so that the moulding lower side is covered down to, but not on the
sheet metal.
VEHICLES WITHOUT SIDE MOULDINGS

Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Paint: > 90153 > Jul > 90 > Lower Body Stone Protection - Repair Procedure >
Page 6529
4. If the contour of the body side has a break line, or if an arbitrary line is chosen, mask off the
upper coating margin using Scotch "Fine Line" tape. This is available nationally from 3M Company
Distributors.
a. Apply the normal masking tape and paper protection for the vehicle body side first. Position them
about a 1/4" above the margin line.
b. Apply the "Fine Line" tape over the regular masking tape with the lower edge at the upper
coating margin line.
c. Extend this "Fine Line" tape into the wheel opening, in absence of wheel opening mouldings, to
allow the flange to be coated.
d. Since the protective coating does not adhere well to flexible plastic stone shields, mask off the
front of the plastic rear stone shield, if exposed.
NOTE: IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO MASK OFF THE BODY DOOR OPENINGS IN THE
COATING AREA BECAUSE THEY WILL BE
UNIFORMLY COATED WHERE THE DOOR MARGINS ALLOW THE COATING TO ENTER.
HOWEVER, THESE DOOR OPENING AREAS SHOULD BE CLEANED TO ASSURE COATING
ADHERENCE.
Coating Preparation - Sheet Metal
REPAIRED SHEET METAL
1. Using a clean lint-free cloth, solvent wipe the area to be coated with a silicone and wax remover
and allow to flash off.
2. Scuff sand (# 180 Grit Paper) the glossy surface of the painted areas to be coated.
3. Remove sanding dust using a lint-free tack cloth and compressed air.
NEW SHEET METAL
1. Using a clean lint-free cloth, solvent wipe the area to be coated with a silicone and wax remover
and allow to flash off.
2. Scuff sand (# 180 Grit Paper) the prime paint in the area to be coated.
3. Remove sanding dust using a lint-free tack cloth and compressed air.
INITIAL INSTALLATION
1. Using a clean lint-free cloth, solvent wipe the area to be coated with a silicone and wax remover.
2. Sand the glossy surface of the paint in the coating area. (A D/A sander, 220/240 Grit Disc does a
good fast job.)
CAUTION: DO NOT SAND THROUGH THE COLOR COAT INTO THE PRIMER.
3. Remove sanding dust using a lint-free tack cloth and compressed air.
Coating Application
Coating applications must be applied with care.
^ The coating must be applied with commercial equipment by an experienced automotive painter.
^ The coating must be thoroughly agitated and used without thinning.
^ Since the material is reasonably heavy-bodied, a pressure cup equipped spray gun is
recommended.
^ Satisfactory coating appearance (orange peel) will result with gun pressure of approximately 30
P.S.I. and cup pressures of approximately 15 P.S.I.
Spray Procedure
Since the lower exposed painted fender, rocker and quarter panel down flanges are to be coated,
the vehicle should be elevated high enough so that the painter can spray this area effectively.
When an initial installation is to be made, a remote, two-quart capacity pressure cup makes a much
more efficient tool because the spray gun can be used closer to the floor.
The spray gun, fluid hose and cup must be cleaned immediately after use. While lacquer thinner
may be used when the suggested clean up material is unavailable, the Ford Vinyl Paint Precleaner
(VC-542-A) is quicker and much more efficient.
With the spray gun at 30 P.S.I. and pressure feed cup at 15 P.S.I. proceed as follows:

2. Apply a second wet, sag-free coat. Allow 3 to 5 minutes flash off.
3. Apply a third wet, sag-free coat. Allow 3 to 5 minutes flash off.
4. Apply a final wet, sag-free coat. Allow 3 to 5 minutes flash off. Pull off the "Fine Line" tape,
exposing the raw upper edge of the coating.
5. Immediately clean the spray equipment using Ford Vinyl Paint Precleaner (VC-542-A) or
equivalent.
6. Air drying time depends on the refinishing materials that are used.
^ If you refinish with acrylic lacquer, allow one hour for drying (at 70~F).
^ If you refinish with acrylic enamel, allow two hours for drying (at 70~F).
Color Coat
In order to paint the entire coated area as well as the upper raw edge, mask off the upper margin
line using the "Fine Line" tape. Position the tape 1/16" above the coating edge. The protective
coating area can now be finish painted.
NOTE: IF DAMAGED SHEET METAL EXTENDS ABOVE THE PROTECTIVE COATING AREA,
NORMAL PRIME/COLOR PAINT PROCEDURES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED.

ISSUE: Paint may be damaged from various sources of airborn materials. The two different types
are:
^ Inorganic
^ Organic
Sometimes it is hard to identify the type of paint damage and know how to remove it. This TSB
article gives detailed information and descriptions of both types of airborn materials. It also outlines
the service procedures for treating them.
ACTION: If service is required, identify the source of damage involved by referring to the following
information. Use the following recommended service procedure to correct concerns.
INORGANIC AIRBORN MATERIAL
The effects of inorganic airborn materials can be seen as:
^ Dark blotches in the paint where the pigment in the paint surface has been attacked
^ Irregular spots that are cracked or etched around the edges and dull in the centers.
^ Small orange colored spots caused by iron particles may appear on the paint surface.
Generally, materials that attack a paint film are either acidic or alkaline in nature.
Sulfuric and nitric acids, in general, cause extreme damage to automative paint finishes. Even very
small concentrations of the same materials can cause chemical spotting damage. Due to
evaporation and condensation, these acids can create severe etching "spots" that may eventually
crack or lift the paint film after some time in service.
Although some automotive finishes are more resistant than others, none are completely immune to
these chemicals. The most resistant paints used today are the urethanes because their resin
system is least likely to react with chemicals. Air dry coatings are more susceptible to attack only
when they are fresh. The longer the paint dries the more resistant it becomes.

Metallic colors are more intolerant to chemicals because aluminum flake is fairly reactive with either
an acid or alkali. The following chart contains the most common acid materials found on automotive
finishes. The chart shows a color, the corresponding damage appearance and also the chemical
causal agent. It is not applicable for Basecoat/Clearcoat finishes.
* "Caustic" refers to any alkaline substance that may be "harsh" or "corrosive" depending on
strength or concentration.
The following "pH" chart show the relationship between acidic and alkaline chemicals and their
corresponding pH values. This chart is provided for informational reference only. ORGANIC
AIRBORN MATERIALS
Organic damage is generally easier to identify. Organic damage is mostly due to tree sap, bird and
insect droppings, dead insects (Figure 8) and pollen. Tree sap is easily identified by clear raised
drops that may be hard or sticky. Bee or bug dropping spots may appear brownish or yellow in
color, about an eighth to a quarter inch in diameter. Dead and decomposing insect bodies are
readily visible to the eye. Pollen deposits are small yellow clusters. Each of these items is
potentially damaging to any currently available paint system. Other noticeable traits of organic
damage are spots that are raised (swelling) micro-crazing (cracked) and pitting, due to pollen
eating into the paint film. The active ingredients in most organic contaminants are tannic and formic
acids . These acids are found in berries and bodily fluids of insects and birds.
Investigations completed at dealerships show that the bright lot lights tend to attract insects. The
use of "soft lights" for display and storage lot illumination will help reduce damage resulting from
decomposing bugs and droppings by decreasing the number of bugs attracted to these lights.
Organic damage is accelerated by heat. During very hot weather conditions, it is important to wash
vehicles more often.
ORGANIC AND INORGANIC REPAIR PROCEDURES FOR MILD DAMAGE
Iron dust particles may imbed themselves into the paint film. On some light colored vehicles after
some weathering, tiny dots of rust start to appear. They

feel rough to the touch and are difficult to remove. The best way to remove these particles is by
treating the finish with an oxalic acid-detergent-water wash. Use the following procedure to perform
this service repair.
NOTE: OXALIC ACID WASH IS ALSO PRE-PACKAGED IN VARIOUS STRENGTHS UNDER
VARIOUS BRAND NAMES, IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO MIX YOUR OWN BATCHES.
1. Wash and degrease the vehicle first, using Ford Multi Purpose Cleaner (B8A-19523-B) or
equivalent, and a suitable wax and grease remover. If this does not remove all of the iron particles,
proceed with the oxalic acid wash.
2. Prepare a quantity of oxalic acid-detergent-water solution as follows:
a. Dissolve 6-8 ounces of Oxalic Acid (powder) in one gallon of warm water.
b. Add 1-2 tablespoons full of non-alkaline detergent such as Ford Multi Purpose Cleaner.
3. Apply this solution liberally to all affected surfaces of the vehicle with a large sponge. Keep the
surface wet until the technician can no longer feel any surface roughness with bare or gloved
fingertips.
NOTE: IF THIS IS NOT DONE THOROUGHLY, STAINING MAY REDEVELOP IF IRON
PARTICLES ARE LEFT BEHIND.
4. Rinse the area with clean water.
CAUTION: FAILURE TO THOROUGHLY RINSE THIS SURFACE COULD RESULT IN
CORROSION OF ANODIZED ALUMINUM OR
STAINLESS STEEL PARTS WITH PROLONGED CONTACT.
5. If the iron particles are not totally removed after 2 washings, use one or both of the procedures
listed for minor chemical contamination.
NOTE: THE USE OF POLISHING (WITH WAX), SANDING WITH MICRO FINE SANDPAPER
(1500 GRIT OR GREATER) OR BUFFING WITH VERY LIGHT COMPOUND SHOULD ONLY BE
DONE AS A LAST RESORT.
CHEMICAL CONTAMINATION
Chemical contamination, either acid or alkali, can cause off-color spots and crack the paint film. In
the presence of moisture (dew), sulfur contamination will change the color (light/dark) of the paint
pigments. (This does not apply to Basecoat/Clearcoat)
Since this contamination affects the pigments, lacquers and enamels show no difference in
resistance. Production thermal drying and air drying finishes are likely to be spotted.
Minor chemical contamination can be removed by using the following step by step procedure.
1. Wash the vehicle first by using Ford Multi Purpose Cleaner (B8A-19523-B) or equivalent to
remove the exterior foreign materials.
2. If the spotting is extensive and on the horizontal surfaces, then machine polish.
3. Apply a light grit polishing compound to the affected surface by using a soft brush. The
compound should be applied to a small area at a time so that it can be buffed out while still wet to
get maximum cutting efficiency.
4. Polish off the spots using a buffer operating at 1700-1800 rpm. Confine polishing to the spotted
areas. Repeat as necessary until all spots have been removed.
5. Remove spots on curved surfaces, near edges, and next to mouldings or ornaments by hand
polishing as follows:
a. Apply some polishing compound to a cotton cloth. (Do not use a synthetic cloth.)
b. Rub vigorously until the spots are no longer visible.
c. Clean off excess polishing compound by using a clean cloth and compressed air.
6. Buff out the polishing marks and bring up the gloss by using a buffer equipped with a clean, dry
lambs wool pad.
NOTE: IF POLISHING DOES NOT SUFFICIENTLY REMOVE DAMAGE, THE VEHICLE CAN BE
WET SANDED USING 1500 GRIT SANDPAPER AND THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE
Wet Sanding Procedure
1. Clean the exterior surface of the vehicle with Ford Multi Purpose cleaner or an equivalent to
remove all contamination.
2. Apply 1500 grit sandpaper to a rubber padded sanding block to sand the paint surface.

Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Paint: > 89133 > Jun > 89 > Paint - Cosmetic Damage From Airborn Materials
> Page 6537
3. Use a squirt bottle filled with water to lubricate the 1500 grit sandpaper as you begin to sand only
the damaged areas. Water is an abrasive as well as a lubricant in this step.
NOTE: IF THE DAMAGE HAS GONE DEEPLY INTO THE PAINT FILM AND IT WILL NOT
POLISH OR SAND OUT, THEN REFINISHING IS REQUIRED.
ORGANIC MATERIAL REPAIR PROCEDURE FOR MILD DAMAGE
Minor organic damage can be removed by using the following step by step procedure.
1. Wash and degrease the vehicle thoroughly by using Ford Multi Purpose Cleaner (B8A-19523-B)
or equivalent and a wax and grease remover to remove all organics.
2. Inspect the vehicle horizontal surfaces. If spotting or paint film swelling is extensive, use a buffer
to repair.
3. Apply a light grit polishing compound to the affected areas by using a soft brush. The compound
should be applied to a small area at a time so that it can be buffed out while still wet to get
maximum efficiency.
4. Polish off the spots or swelling marks using a buffer that operates between 1700-1800 rpm.
Polishing should be confined to the affected areas only. Repeat as necessary until all spots or
marks are removed.
5. Remove spots on curved surfaces, near edges, and next to mouldings or ornaments by hand
polishing as follows:
a. Apply some polishing compound to a cotton cloth. (Do not use a synthetic cloth.)
b. Rub vigorously until the spots are no longer visible.
c. Clean off excess polishing compound by using a clean cloth and compressed air.
6. Buff out the polishing marks and bring up the gloss by using a buffer equipped with a clean, dry
lambs wool pad.
NOTE: IF POLISHING DOES NOT SUFFICIENTLY REMOVE DAMAGE, THE VEHICLE CAN BE
WET SANDED USING 1500 GRIT SANDPAPER AND THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE.
Wet Sanding Procedure
1. Clean the exterior surface of the vehicle with Ford Multi Purpose cleaner or an equivalent to
remove all organics.
2. Apply 1500 grit sandpaper to a rubber padded sanding block to sand the paint surface.
3. Use a squirt bottle filled with water to lubricate the 1500 grit sandpaper as you begin to sand only
the damaged areas. Water is an abrasive as well as a lubricant in this step.
NOTE: IF THE DAMAGE HAS GONE DEEPLY INTO THE PAINT FILM AND IT WILL NOT
POLISH OUT, THEN REFINISHING IS REQUIRED.
PAINT RECONDITIONING PROCEDURES FOR SEVERE DAMAGE
Acrylic enamel single stage or base/clear paint systems should be painted by using the following
procedure.
1. .Wash the vehicle with Ford Multi Purpose Cleaner or equivalent to remove all organic materials.
2. Wash the areas to be painted with wax and grease remover.
3. Prepare the area as follows:
a. Neutralize the affected areas with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and water.
b. Rinse the surface off with plain water.
c. Wash the panel with a mild soapy detergent.
d. Dry the panel completely.
NOTE: IF THE DAMAGE IS THROUGH THE TOP COAT FINISH AND INTO THE PRIMERS, THE
PANEL MUST BE SANDED DOWN TO BARE METAL OR PLASTIC AND THEN REFINISHED.

> Page 6538
4. Apply a self-etching primer for metal surfaces only.
NOTE: A FLEX ADDITIVE MAY BE NECESSARY WHEN WORKING WITH FLEXIBLE PLASTICS
Then proceed as follows:
a. Let dry per instructions.
b. Apply a two component urethane primer surfacer.
c. Sand the surface with 400 grit sandpaper to get to proper finish.
d. Finish sanding with 600 grit sandpaper.
5. Solvent wash panel with wax and grease remover. Then, tack wipe it.
6. Apply base coat or top coat material per applicable paint system.
NOTE: THE USE OF ACRYLIC URETHANE ENAMEL IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR THIS
TYPE OF REPAIR.
7. Apply clear acrylic urethane if you are using a base/clear paint system.
WAYS TO MINIMIZE EFFECTS OF AIRBORN MATERIAL DAMAGE
During the past year, Ford Motor Company and major paint suppliers have participated in a survey
to analyze the effects of airborn materials. This survey was conducted on foreign and domestic
vehicles. It resulted in the following interesting conclusions.
1. Keeping the vehicles clean, washing frequently with de-ionized water and drying by hand or
mechanical means will help minimize the effects of inorganic and organic materials.
2. Spray washing without rubbing will not totally remove all residue on the surface of the vehicle.
Damage could possibly occur over a longer period of time.
3. Care should be taken to not allow any painted vehicle surface to become wet in direct sunlight.
(A sprinkler system can cause damage if the vehicles are not dried.) Possible alkaline water or
mineral deposit may be the cause.
4. The use of "Soft Lights" for lighting around storage lots and showing areas will minimize the
attraction of insects and the possibility of organic damage.
5. Ford Motor Company is piloting a program for a transit/storage coating to be applied on the
horizontal surfaces of all vehicles. These coatings have shown good protection to the paint surface.
They are clear in color and should be left on the vehicles until they are sold.
6. We are testing many "permanent paint sealants" used by dealers. Until all testing is completed,
we cannot give any recommendations for what products to use. Testing has shown that a sealant
that allows water to bead up on the vehicle does not help to dissipate the materials on the paint
surface. Sheeting of water on the vehicle is highly desirable.

ISSUE: Ferrous metal particles (hot iron dust) are generated by manufacturing facilities, rail
shipments, combustion engines, jet engines, body shops, etc. These particles
mechanically/magnetically bond to vehicles' painted surfaces. Moisture and temperature combine
with the particles to create a chemical reaction. The reaction causes the particles to corrode and
enter into the physical paint film.
ACTION: To remove these particles/contaminants, USE ONLY the following procedure. The
procedure must be performed before any buffing, polishing, color sanding or refinishing is
attempted. The materials in this procedure are alkaline, acidic and neutral. They must be used in
the specified order.

Use Finish Kare Inc. products 1119/883/11850 to decontaminate the paint surface. Follow the
manufacturer's recommended procedures.
NOTE:
FORD DOES NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF OXALIC ACIDS OR OTHER "FALLOUT
REMOVERS".
1. Rinse off dust and debris with cold water. Be sure to start at the bottom and work up.
2. Prepare product "1119" by mixing one (1) part "1119" with four (4) parts cold water.
3. Use clean wash mitt and apply mixture to entire car, starting at the bottom and working up to the
top surface. Keep car wet with the solution for 5 to 10 minutes. Do not allow product to dry on the
car, and do not allow it to streak down the sides. Rewipe with mitt if necessary to avoid streaks.
4. Rinse car with cold water.
5. Dry the flat surfaces of the vehicle hood, roof and deck lid.
6. Apply product "883" directly to the contaminated surfaces using a clean dry sponge, wash mitt,
or soft truck brush ("883" is ready to use from the bottle, with no mixing involved). Keep the areas
wet with the "883" for 5 to 7 minutes. Do not allow to dry on the car. Wipe down to the body line on
the sides.
7. Prepare product "118SC" by mixing 1 oz (0.03 L) with 1 gal (3.785 L) of water.
8. Shampoo the vehicle with "118SC" shampoo mixture using a clean wash mitt and then rinse with
cold water.
NOTE:
DO NOT USE "1185C" MITT WITH "1119" OR "883" SOLUTIONS. USE SEPARATE MITTS AND
ALWAYS KEEP THEM SEPARATE.
9. Inspect paint surface to see if rust particles have been removed. If rust particles have been on
the vehicle for a long time, it may be necessary to repeat each of the above steps.

CORRECTION OF SURFACE FOLLOWING DECONTAMINATION:
1. Visually inspect surface for evidence of removal of ferrous metal particles, crystalline deposits
and water spots. Acid rain discoloring or etching will require either buffing, color sanding or
refinishing if etching is visible.
2. Use the buffing products from only one (1) manufacturer. Do not intermix products.
3. Always follow the manufacturer's product sequence. Use appropriate pads with each product as
recommended by the manufacturer.
NOTE:
DO NOT REMOVE MORE THAN 0.3 OF A MIL OF PAINT MATERIAL, OR REPAINTING WILL BE
REQUIRED.
4. Use a dual action sander (D/A Sander) with a velcro-mount backing plate and appropriate foam
pad for final polishing swirl removal.
5. Use an alcohol and water mixture (1:4 ratio) to clean buffed areas to verify removal of scratches
and swirls before application of final protective glaze.
NOTE:
FREQUENT WASHING OF VEHICLES IS IMPORTANT. CONTAMINANTS SETTLE ONTO THE
VEHICLE EVERY DAY. USE CLEAN WATER (DEIONIZED, REVERSE OSMOSIS, ETC.) TWICE
WEEKLY TO REMOVE HEAVY DUST, AND PARTICULATES. THE USE OF A NEUTRAL pH
CAR WASH SOAP EVERY TWO (2) WEEKS IS RECOMMENDED TO NEUTRALIZE VEHICLE
CONTAMINATION.

ISSUE: This procedure is being published to advise all body and paint technicians about proper
procedures for preparation of sheet metal parts coated with electrodeposition primer (E-Coat).
ACTION: When prepping a replacement body panel for installation, it is mandatory to leave the
E-Coat intact. DO NOT SAND OFF THE E-COAT.
Improper preparation with excessive sanding of the E-Coat to bare metal will jeopardize the sheet
metal warranty and overall customer satisfaction. In particular, the E-Coat is necessary to protect
the parts from rust. Light scuff sanding using a Scotch Brite pad or wet 320 grit sand paper is
recommended for minor flaws. If a minor flaw exists, wet sand or scuff out the flaw and prime the
repair area. Again, do not remove all of the E-Coat from the panel.

If more extensive sanding, other than that described above, is necessary, (e.g., refinishing original
vehicle sheet metal) follow the procedures outlined below:
ALTERNATIVE SANDING PROCEDURES WHEN EXTENSIVE SANDING IS REQUIRED
The following procedures for sheet metal preparation by sanding or media blasting are based on
tests conducted by Ford Motor Company in accordance with requirements set forth in the Federal
OSHA Inorganic Lead Standard 29 CFR 1910.1025.
SANDING PROCEDURE
1. Each technician performing the sanding operation MUST wear an approved respirator with high
efficiency particulate filter (HEPA).
2. Technicians should use dual action sander with vacuum collection.
3. The vacuum equipment MUST be equipped with a HEPA filter on the air exhaust. Dealers are
cautioned not to exhaust vacuum air into the atmosphere. Operators are cautioned to follow the
manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance and the replacement of filters.
MEDIA BLASTING PROCEDURE
1. Testing has shown that plastic media blasting meets OSHA lead standard requirements and is
efficient when the manufacturer's published procedures are followed.
2. The operator must wear an air supplied hood using compressed air free from carbon monoxide,
oil, water, and other contamination when performing this operation. Specifics of the media blasting
procedure for whole body paint removal have been previously published.

(C) Lower Body Stone Protection Repair Tips
Ford has introduced a vinyl anti-stone abrasion material for the lower exterior body surfaces of
selected passenger vehicles and light trucks. The anti-stone abrasion material is applied to the
lower fenders, rocker panels, lower doors, quarter panel dogleg, and lower rear of quarter panel
behind the wheel. The anti-stone abrasion material will usually end at a body character line.

While primarily for servicing of factory-applied protective coating, the following provides installation
information. If the vehicle has experienced body damage in the factory-applied material protective
area, the sheet metal damage must be serviced prior to the application of the new protective
coating.
SMALL AREAS - MINOR DEFECTS (VEHICLES WITH FACTORY SPRAYED-ON VINYL)
A small dent in the sheet metal that did not mar the vinyl surface, can possibly be corrected with
proper bumping tools without damage to the vinyl coating. However, noticeable scratches or
gouges (not over 1/2 inch in diameter) or dings and dents that when "ironed out" show vinyl
damage, can be satisfactorily serviced with the following procedure:
1. Solvent-wipe the damaged area with "Silicone and Wax Remover."
2. Using a heat gun or lamp, soften the vinyl coating of the damaged area until it can be scraped off
with a putty knife or a similar tool. If necessary, sand off any hard to remove coating using an
orbital disc sander (No. 80 Disc). (The spray-on vinyl protective coatings may not be suitable for
"spot" application. See Manufacturer's label for instructions.)
3. Perform necessary servicing to correct the sheet metal damage.
4. Using white bodyfiller, fill the damaged area. Follow the instructions on the label and blend the
bodyfiller with the surrounding sheet metal.
5. Allow the bodyfiller to completely cure and then carefully sand the area smooth, removing any
high spots.
6. Refer to "Spray Procedure" for restoration of vinyl anti-stone abrasion material.
LARGE DAMAGED AREAS - VEHICLE WITH FACTORY SPRAYED ON VINYL
Peeling or damage over a large area will necessitate removal of the factory sprayed-on vinyl
coating. The following procedure is suggested.
NOTE: WHERE SHEET METAL IS DAMAGED TO THE EXTENT THAT A FENDER, DOOR, OR
QUARTER PANEL REPLACEMENT IS
REQUIRED (OR IN AN INITIAL INSTALLATION), DISREGARD STEPS NO. 1 AND NO. 2.
1. Using a heat gun or lamp, soften the vinyl coating until it is pliable. Scrape coating off with a
putty knife or a similar tool. If necessary, sand off any hard to remove coating using an orbital disc
sander (No. 80 Disc). (The vinyl material, abrasion resistant coating may not be suitable for "spot"
applications. See manufacturer's label for instructions.)
2. Perform necessary servicing to correct the sheet metal damage.
3. Refer to "Spray Procedure" for restoration of vinyl anti-stone abrasion material.
COATING APPLICATIONS
Approximately two quarts will be required for an initial installation on a passenger car or F-Series.
Slightly more will be required for an Econoline. The specified dry film thickness of 15 to 20 mils
(.015 to .020 inch) will require at least three, possibly four, applications of coating material, with
"flash off" time between coats. Spray coat complete panels only.
The coating must be applied with commercial equipment by an experienced automotive painter.
The coating must be thoroughly agitated before application. The material is heavy bodied. A
pressure cup spray gun or "Rocker Schutz Gun" is recommended.
COATING PREPARATION - MASKING VEHICLE
Install suitable covers over the wheels.
NOTE: IF THE VEHICLE HAS LOWER BODY SIDE MOULDINGS (12-14 INCHES ABOVE THE
"TURN UNDER" OF THE ROCKER PANEL),
THE MOULDING CAN SERVE AS THE UPPER MARGIN OF THE AREA TO BE COATED. IF
THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE SUITABLE MOULDINGS, A SCULPTURE OR BREAK LINE IN
THE SHEET METAL CAN BE UTILIZED. THIS LINE SHOULD BE SELECTED TO ENSURE
ADEQUATE PROTECTION OF THE PAINTED SURFACES.
VEHICLES WITH BODY SIDE MOULDINGS
1. Masking tape should be positioned so that the moulding lower edge is also covered. The
adjoining sheet metal should be left uncovered too so anti-stone, abrasion vinyl can be applied.
VEHICLES WITHOUT BODY SIDE MOULDINGS
2. If the contour of the body side has a break line, the upper coating margin must be masked off
using 3M "Fine Line" Tape.
Ford F 150 2wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-351 5.8L (1986))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Paint, Striping and Decals > Paint > System Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Paint: > 91181 > Sep > 91 > Exterior Paint - Comprehensive Repair Procedures >
Page 6577
a. The normal masking tape and paper protection for the body side should be applied first and
positioned about a quarter inch above the margin line.
b. The "Fine Line" tape should then be applied over the regular masking tape with the lower edge
at the upper coating margin line. Extend this "Fine Line" tape into the wheel opening, in the
absence of wheel opening mouldings, allowing the flange to be coated.
c. The anti-stone abrasion coating does not adhere well to flexible plastic parts. If left exposed, they
must be masked off.
d. It is not necessary to mask off the body door openings in the coating area, as they will be
uniformly coated where the door margins allow the coating to enter.
NOTE: DOOR OPENING AREAS SHOULD BE CLEANED TO ASSURE COATING ADHERENCE.
COATING PREPARATION - SHEET METAL
REPAIRED SHEETMETAL
1. Scuff sand (No. 180 Grit Paper) the glossy surface of the painted areas to be coated.
2. Using a clean, lint-free cloth, solvent wipe the area to be coated with wax and grease remover.
3. Remove sanding dust using compressed air and lint-free tack cloth.
NEW SHEET METAL
1. Sand off (No. 180 Grit Paper) the prime paint in the area to be coated.
2. Using a lint-free cloth, solvent wipe the area to be coated with wax and grease remover.
3. Remove sanding dust using compressed air and a lint-free tack cloth.
NEW INSTALLATION
1. The glossy surface of the paint in the coating area must be sanded with a D/A sander. A 220/240
Grit Disc does a good, fast job. DO NOT sand through the primer.
2. Using a clean, lint-free cloth, solvent wipe the area to be coated with wax and grease remover.
3. Remove sanding dust using compressed air and a lint-free tack cloth.
SPRAY PROCEDURE
The lower exposed painted fender, rocker, and quarter panel down flanges should be protected.
The vehicle must be elevated high enough so that the painter can spray this area effectively. When
an initial installation is to be made, a remote two-quart capacity pressure cup makes a much more
efficient tool, as the spray gun can be used closer to the floor. The spray gun, fluid hose and/or cup
must be cleaned immediately after use. Refer to manufacturer's recommended cleaning procedure.
Lacquer thinner can be used when the suggested clean up material is unavailable.
WARNING: WEAR A NOISHA/MSHA RECOMMENDED VAPOR/PARTICULATE RESPIRATOR
AND USE ALL OTHER RECOMMENDED SAFETY EOUIPMENT.
1. After preparing the new or damaged area(s), mix either Epoxy primer or Self-etch prime, per
manufacturer's label instructions, and spray bare metal areas.
^ BASF DE15 or DE17
^ Sikkens Metalflex CR Primer (1 coat only)
^ DuPont Variprime
^ S-W E2G 980 GBP Etching Filler
^ PPG DP 40 (only)
2. Apply 1-2 light prime coats over the bare metal areas.

NOTE: SOME ANTI-STONE ABRASION MATERIAL MAY REQUIRE A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT
MIXING PREPARATION, PROCEDURE
AND APPLICATION. SOME ANTI-STONE ABRASION MATERIALS CAN NOT BE USED FOR
SPOT REPAIR. CHECK WITH THE PAINT MANUFACTURER FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
ABOUT THEIR PRODUCT.
5. Allow the stone abrasion material to dry. Heat can be used to accelerate the drying time. Check
the manufacturer's instructions.
COLOR COAT
The complete coated area, as well as the upper raw edge, must be covered with color coat. Mask
off the upper margin line using "Fine Line" tape positioned 1/16 inch above the coating edge. Using
appropriate service paint and application procedures, the protective coating area can now be finish
painted with monocoat or a basecoat/clearcoat urethane system.
NOTE: IF DAMAGED SHEET METAL EXTENDS ABOVE THE PROTECTIVE COATING AREA,
NORMAL PRIME/COLOR PAINT PROCEDURES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED.
CAUTION: OUR ENVIRONMENT IS PRECIOUS - PLEASE USE PROPER DISPOSAL

(E) Lower Body-Side Stone Chip Protection Program
Ford Motor Company has recently initiated a program to provide improved stone-chip protection on
some vehicles and to increase the corrosion protection on cars and trucks.
Some customers are unaware of body side anti-stone chip protection which appears as wavy
orange peel texture on the lower body areas.
Ford is increasing the use of PVC (poly vinyl chloride) material which is applied in a thicker coating
on the lower body-side. This material has been in use on vehicles destined for the Canadian
market for many years.
This PVC material is now applied at the following plants on ALL vehicles.
^ Edison - Ranger
^ Hermosillo - Escort/Tracer
^ Louisville - Ranger and Explorer
^ Ohio Truck - Econoline
^ Wayne - Escort/Tracer
This process is also planned for Kansas City, Oakville, Twin Cities and Wixom.
This material can be identified by the "orange peel" appearance and a visible "break-line" between
protected and unprotected areas in the lower body areas.
CAUTION: THIS PROTECTION MUST NOT BE REMOVED IF VEHICLE IS EXPECTED TO
MAINTAIN THE CORROSION PROTECTION.
Some customers have expressed concerns due to the appearance of the treated areas. These
customers did not know about the extra protection this material provides their vehicle. Once
explained, customers were pleased with the added protection and accepted the orange peel finish.
NOTE: DEALERS SHOULD ADVISE THEIR SALES PEOPLE, SERVICE PEOPLE, AND
CUSTOMERS, OF THE REASONS AND BENEFITS
OF THIS PROTECTION. CANADIAN DEALERS STRESS THIS AS A SELLING POINT WITH
THEIR SALES PEOPLE. IT IS CONSIDERED A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE.
(F) Surface Defect Removal Without Repainting
Exterior paint surface damage or imperfections, where the primer coat does not show through,
should be restored without repainting. The restoration of gloss and luster, after the condition has
been repaired, is possible with new techniques and improved materials.
The following procedure is applicable to surface conditions such as dirt particles, orange peel, runs,
sags, industrial fallout stains, swirl marks, light scratches and other minor surface imperfections.
For dirt particles or scratches in several localized areas, the entire panel should be refinished to
maintain a uniform appearance.
PREPARATION
To repair the affected surface it must be clean and dry. Mask off adjacent panels, mouldings, stripe
and character lines as required.
CAUTION: EYE PROTECTION, AND FACE MASK SHOULD BE WORN. RINGS, BRACELETS,
WATCHES AND BELT BUCKLES MUST BE
REMOVED TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE TO PAINT FINISH.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Remove sanding marks with rubbing compound.

Page 6583
2. Swirl marks, evident after buffing, are removed by polishing.
3. Remove light scratches and small dirt particles with a power buffer and medium buffing
compound followed with polishing.
4. Remove deeper scratches and heavy dirt particles or orange peel, by wet sanding.
5. Buff with compound to remove the sanding marks and then polish to remove the swirl marks
from the buffing operation.
NOTE: PERFORM A TRIAL REPAIR WITH A SMALL AREA. FIRST, TRY POLISHING; IF THIS IS
NOT SUCCESSFUL, TRY BUFFING
AND, FINALLY, USE WET SANDING TO REMOVE THE CONDITION. USE MOST EFFECTIVE
TECHNIQUE ON REMAINDER OF AREAS. AN OUTLINE OF THE COMPLETE PROCEDURE
AND REQUIRED MATERIALS FOLLOWS.
POLISHING - VERY MINOR SCRATCHES OR SWIRL MARKS AND/OR RESTORING A DULL
FINISH
1. Apply a small amount of Meguiar's Mirror Glaze, or equivalent, to the affected panel (or pad).
2. Use a suitable electric or air powered polish/buffing wheel (1750 max. RPM) and a Meguiar's
Finesse Polishing Pad, or equivalent, to polish the affected area until all swirl marks are gone and
desired luster is obtained.
3. When polishing, keep the pad flat against the surface. Do not bear down. The weight of the
buffer is sufficient.
CAUTION: DO NOT MIX PRODUCTS! USE A SEPARATE, DEDICATED BUFFING PAD FOR
EACH PRODUCT TO ACHIEVE DESIRED
RESULTS.
Variable speed buffers are available in a variety of buffing speeds. The recommended speed range
is 1200-1750 RPM.
COMPOUNDING - LIGHT SCRATCHES, SMALL DIRT PARTICLES, MINOR GRIND MARKS,
AND SANDING MARKS
1. Apply Meguiar's Rubbing Compound (medium) or equivalent to the panel with a clean compound
pad on the wheel.
2. Spread the compound evenly and continue buffing until the condition is removed.
3. Keep the wheel flat to the surface and use light to moderate pressure and long strokes.
4. Periodically check the finish and add compound as required.
5. When buffing is complete, polish the panel as described previously.
Twisted wool cutting pads are the most effective compounding pads to use with Glaze Machine
Cleaner for removing paint defects and heavy oxidation. Following the use of a wool compounding
pad, it may be necessary to polish the finish with No. 2 Mirror Glaze Hi-Tech Cleaner using a Mirror
Glaze Finesse Polishing Pad to remove the deep swirl marks.
GENERAL TECHNIQUES AND HINTS
^ "Foam" buffing pads create added gloss and depth of color on all types of paint finishes without
creating buffer swirl marks.
^ When "buffing out" oxidation or other paint defects with a cleaning material, use a liberal amount
of material, slower buffing motion and added downward pressure to increase cutting action.
^ Always apply cleaner to buffing pad, not directly on the oxidized paint surface. Dry paint absorbs
material into pores upon contact.
^ Always keep the face of the buffing pad completely flat to the surface, reducing the risk of buffer
swirl marks. Watch your pad, especially on angled surfaces, to be certain that it stays flat.
^ Avoid short rapid strokes. Move the buffer slowly across the surface using long straight motions
and overlap by 50% the buffing pattern left by the previous pass. This insures uniform coverage
and allows both material and buffer to perform at maximum efficiency.
^ Avoid buffing directly on raised character lines. The reduced paint film on these surfaces
increases the risk of paint burn through. It is best to buff up to them from each side.
^ Always use a "wet buff" technique on a basecoat/clearcoat finish. This is a precaution against
buffer swirls. Stop buffing just after the product begins to break down and before an overall dry,
glossy finish appears. After "wet buffing", use a towel to wipe off the excess material.
^ Always use a "dry buff" technique on light colored, conventional paint finishes. Continue buffing
until the material breaks down and only a slight film remains for final wipe off.

Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Paint: > 91181 > Sep > 91 > Exterior Paint - Comprehensive Repair Procedures >
Page 6584
^ If a paint blemish remains after buffing, reapply a small amount of material over the blemish.
Confine your buffing strokes to the immediate area of the blemish while applying additional
downward pressure and keeping the pad flat.
NOTE: ALWAYS KEEP THE PAD MOVING AND LIMIT YOUR STROKES OVER THE BLEMISH
TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE HEAT
BUILD-UP AND POSSIBLE BURN THROUGH. STOP IMMEDIATELY IF THE SURFACE
BECOMES TOO HOT TO LAY THE PALM OF YOUR HAND ON IT.
NOTE: HEAT BUILD-UP: WHEN BUFFING CREATES EXCESSIVE HEAT, HAZING MAY
APPEAR ACROSS THE SURFACE BEING
BUFFED AND THE PRODUCT MAY DRY LIKE A FILM AND REFUSE TO BUFF OUT. TO
REMEDY, WIPE THE AREA DOWN WITH COOL WATER, DRY THE SURFACE AND RESUME
BUFFING ... AT A LOWER RPM IF POSSIBLE.
NOTE: STATIC: STATIC ELECTRICITY MAY BE PRESENT ON PAINTED
FIBERGLASS/PLASTIC SURFACE BEING BUFFED, THE
MATERIAL MAY DRY LIKE A FILM OR TURN "GUMMY" AND BEGIN TO BALL UP. TO
REMEDY, GROUND THE SURFACE BEING BUFFED TO METAL.
WET SANDING
Paint defects and sanding marks must be completely removed without using compounds and
abrasive cleaners that scar the finish.
Mirror Glaze Hi-Tech Finesse Sanding Papers provide uniformity in grit particle size and
distribution. Using these precision made sanding papers, water sanding marks can be removed
with Meguiar's cleaner and finesse polishing pads.
^ Typical paint defects that are repaired with this system include: dirt-in paint, solvent pop,
cratering, orange peel, drips, scratches, water spots, and acid rain.
^ Always use the least abrasive (highest grit) sanding products possible to do this job.
The following wet sanding procedure utilizes light grit sand paper or sanding blocks for removal of
surface damage. These materials cut quickly leaving a uniform finish requiring a minimum of
buffing to restore gloss.
PROCEDURE
1. Squeeze water to flush the area to be sanded. Continue to flush water to the surface during
sanding for maximum lubrication.
2. Use small circular motions to contain the abrasion to the immediate area of the defect. Keep the
blocks in water when not in use.
3. If the sanding block is cutting too slow, switch to a lower grade block and resume sanding. When
90% of the defect is removed, switch to a 2000 grade Finesse Sanding Paper or Sanding Block to
finish smoothing and prepare the surface for buffing.
4. Finesse Sanding Blocks can be shaped to work on any angle. When the block is wet, rub it
against a dry sanding block for shaping.
5. When using Finesse Sanding Papers, wrap the paper tightly around a E-7200 Backing Pad. This
pad evenly distributes pressure over the entire surface of the sanding paper. This creates a uniform
sanding pattern.
6. Plan your strokes to limit the abrasion to the smallest area possible.
NOTE: ALWAYS SAND IN ONE DIRECTION AND KEEP YOUR STROKES STRAIGHT.
7. Always finish sanding with 2000 Grit Finesse Sanding Paper. This eliminates the need for
compounding.
8. Buff out sanding marks by applying Meguiar's Cleaner with a Finesse "Foam" Polishing Pad.
Follow with a Mirror Glaze Polish for swirl-free gloss.

RUNS AND SAGS REMOVAL
This procedure consists of shaving the run or sag flush with a commercial single edge razor blade,
shaving file or sanding with a hard block and then compounding.
NOTE: IF IT IS NECESSARY TO SHAVE RUNS AND SAGS WITH A RAZOR BLADE, FIRST
DULL THE CORNERS WITH SANDPAPER TO AVOID SCRATCHING THE ADJACENT PANEL
FINISH.

(G) Color Compatible Spray Primer Chart
Ford has released color compatible spray primers for exterior and some interior surfaces.
Colored sprayed primers are being used by our "Best-in-Class" competition and are now being
implemented at Ford in order to improve process capability and to help in minimizing unsightly
paint chipping from stone abrasion. Color keyed (matched) spray primer for exterior body colors is
being used in an effort to help in the elimination of unsightly paint chipping from stone abrasion.
As with "Best-In-Class" competition, the engine compartment will be left with color compatible
primer only and not be topcoated as per past practice.

ISSUE: A service repair procedure has been developed to restore damaged factory-applied lower
body stone protection vinyl material.
ACTION: If service is required, use the following procedure to restore damaged lower body stone
protected areas.
This abrasion resistant coating material (D9AZ-19515-A) is primarily for repair of factory-applied
protective coatings. However, this material may also be installed on previously unprotected
vehicles.
If the vehicle has body damage in the area of the factory-applied coating, body damage must be
repaired before repairing the protective coating.
WARNING: WHENEVER USING PAINT, SOLVENT, REFINISHING OR RECONDITIONING
MATERIALS, WEAR A NOSE OR FACE MASK, PLUS HAVE ADEQUATE VENTILATION IN THE
WORK AREA.
Large Repair Areas
A large repair area, resulting from peeling or damage, will require removal of the factory-applied
vinyl coating.
NOTE: WHERE SHEET METAL IS DAMAGED TO THE EXTENT THAT A FENDER, DOOR OR
QUARTER PANEL REPLACEMENT IS REQUIRED, (OR IN AN INITIAL INSTALLATION), SKIP
STEPS # 1 - 3.
1. Use a heat gun or lamp to soften the vinyl coating until it is pliable.
2. Scrape off the softened vinyl with a putty knife or similar tool. If necessary, sand off any
hard-to-remove vinyl coating using an orbital disc sander (# 80 Disc).
NOTE: THE REPAIR MATERIAL, ABRASION RESISTANT COATING (D9AZ-19515-A), IS NOT
SUITABLE FOR "SPOT" REPAIRS. THE
OLD COATING MUST BE REMOVED COMPLETELY FROM EACH DAMAGED PANEL.
3. Make the necessary repairs to the sheet metal.
Coating Preparation and Applications:
The abrasion resistant coating is available in quart cans. About two quarts will be required for an
initial installation on a passenger car similar to a factory-applied system. Slightly more will be
required for a larger vehicle such as an Econoline.
The specified dry film thickness of 15 to 20 mils (.015 to .020") will require at least three or possibly
four applications of coating material, with flash off time allowed between coats. As with painting,
spray coat the complete lower panel.
The adherence of this coating to properly prepared sheet metal is excellent and it is not necessary
to prime the repaired sheet metal. However, adhesion will be adversely affected unless the sheet
metal (either repaired or new) is prepared in accordance with the following procedure.
Coating Preparation - Masking Car
1. Install covers over the wheels.
2. Determine the area to be coated.
^ If the vehicle has lower body side mouldings (12-14" above the "turn under" of the rocker Panel),
the moulding can serve as the upper margin of the area to be coated.
^ If the vehicle does not have suitable mouldings, a sculpture or break line in the sheet metal can
be used.
^ The method used in masking off the upper coating margin line will depend on the presence or
absence of mouldings in this area.
VEHICLES WITH SIDE MOULDINGS
3. Position the masking tape so that the moulding lower side is covered down to, but not on the
sheet metal.
VEHICLES WITHOUT SIDE MOULDINGS

Page 6595
4. If the contour of the body side has a break line, or if an arbitrary line is chosen, mask off the
upper coating margin using Scotch "Fine Line" tape. This is available nationally from 3M Company
Distributors.
a. Apply the normal masking tape and paper protection for the vehicle body side first. Position them
about a 1/4" above the margin line.
b. Apply the "Fine Line" tape over the regular masking tape with the lower edge at the upper
coating margin line.
c. Extend this "Fine Line" tape into the wheel opening, in absence of wheel opening mouldings, to
allow the flange to be coated.
d. Since the protective coating does not adhere well to flexible plastic stone shields, mask off the
front of the plastic rear stone shield, if exposed.
NOTE: IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO MASK OFF THE BODY DOOR OPENINGS IN THE
COATING AREA BECAUSE THEY WILL BE
UNIFORMLY COATED WHERE THE DOOR MARGINS ALLOW THE COATING TO ENTER.
HOWEVER, THESE DOOR OPENING AREAS SHOULD BE CLEANED TO ASSURE COATING
ADHERENCE.
Coating Preparation - Sheet Metal
REPAIRED SHEET METAL
1. Using a clean lint-free cloth, solvent wipe the area to be coated with a silicone and wax remover
and allow to flash off.
2. Scuff sand (# 180 Grit Paper) the glossy surface of the painted areas to be coated.
3. Remove sanding dust using a lint-free tack cloth and compressed air.
NEW SHEET METAL
1. Using a clean lint-free cloth, solvent wipe the area to be coated with a silicone and wax remover
and allow to flash off.
2. Scuff sand (# 180 Grit Paper) the prime paint in the area to be coated.
3. Remove sanding dust using a lint-free tack cloth and compressed air.
INITIAL INSTALLATION
1. Using a clean lint-free cloth, solvent wipe the area to be coated with a silicone and wax remover.
2. Sand the glossy surface of the paint in the coating area. (A D/A sander, 220/240 Grit Disc does a
good fast job.)
CAUTION: DO NOT SAND THROUGH THE COLOR COAT INTO THE PRIMER.
3. Remove sanding dust using a lint-free tack cloth and compressed air.
Coating Application
Coating applications must be applied with care.
^ The coating must be applied with commercial equipment by an experienced automotive painter.
^ The coating must be thoroughly agitated and used without thinning.
^ Since the material is reasonably heavy-bodied, a pressure cup equipped spray gun is
recommended.
^ Satisfactory coating appearance (orange peel) will result with gun pressure of approximately 30
P.S.I. and cup pressures of approximately 15 P.S.I.
Spray Procedure
Since the lower exposed painted fender, rocker and quarter panel down flanges are to be coated,
the vehicle should be elevated high enough so that the painter can spray this area effectively.
When an initial installation is to be made, a remote, two-quart capacity pressure cup makes a much
more efficient tool because the spray gun can be used closer to the floor.
The spray gun, fluid hose and cup must be cleaned immediately after use. While lacquer thinner
may be used when the suggested clean up material is unavailable, the Ford Vinyl Paint Precleaner
(VC-542-A) is quicker and much more efficient.
With the spray gun at 30 P.S.I. and pressure feed cup at 15 P.S.I. proceed as follows:

1. Apply a wet, sag-free coat. Allow 3 to 5 minutes flash off.
2. Apply a second wet, sag-free coat. Allow 3 to 5 minutes flash off.
3. Apply a third wet, sag-free coat. Allow 3 to 5 minutes flash off.
4. Apply a final wet, sag-free coat. Allow 3 to 5 minutes flash off. Pull off the "Fine Line" tape,
exposing the raw upper edge of the coating.
5. Immediately clean the spray equipment using Ford Vinyl Paint Precleaner (VC-542-A) or
equivalent.
6. Air drying time depends on the refinishing materials that are used.
^ If you refinish with acrylic lacquer, allow one hour for drying (at 70~F).
^ If you refinish with acrylic enamel, allow two hours for drying (at 70~F).
Color Coat
In order to paint the entire coated area as well as the upper raw edge, mask off the upper margin
line using the "Fine Line" tape. Position the tape 1/16" above the coating edge. The protective
coating area can now be finish painted.
NOTE: IF DAMAGED SHEET METAL EXTENDS ABOVE THE PROTECTIVE COATING AREA,
NORMAL PRIME/COLOR PAINT PROCEDURES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED.

ISSUE: Paint may be damaged from various sources of airborn materials. The two different types
are:
^ Inorganic
^ Organic
Sometimes it is hard to identify the type of paint damage and know how to remove it. This TSB
article gives detailed information and descriptions of both types of airborn materials. It also outlines
the service procedures for treating them.
ACTION: If service is required, identify the source of damage involved by referring to the following
information. Use the following recommended service procedure to correct concerns.
INORGANIC AIRBORN MATERIAL
The effects of inorganic airborn materials can be seen as:
^ Dark blotches in the paint where the pigment in the paint surface has been attacked
^ Irregular spots that are cracked or etched around the edges and dull in the centers.
^ Small orange colored spots caused by iron particles may appear on the paint surface.
Generally, materials that attack a paint film are either acidic or alkaline in nature.
Sulfuric and nitric acids, in general, cause extreme damage to automative paint finishes. Even very
small concentrations of the same materials can cause chemical spotting damage. Due to
evaporation and condensation, these acids can create severe etching "spots" that may eventually
crack or lift the paint film after some time in service.
Although some automotive finishes are more resistant than others, none are completely immune to
these chemicals. The most resistant paints used today are the urethanes because their resin
system is least likely to react with chemicals. Air dry coatings are more susceptible to attack only
when they are fresh. The longer the paint dries the more resistant it becomes.

Metallic colors are more intolerant to chemicals because aluminum flake is fairly reactive with either
an acid or alkali. The following chart contains the most common acid materials found on automotive
finishes. The chart shows a color, the corresponding damage appearance and also the chemical
causal agent. It is not applicable for Basecoat/Clearcoat finishes.
* "Caustic" refers to any alkaline substance that may be "harsh" or "corrosive" depending on
strength or concentration.
The following "pH" chart show the relationship between acidic and alkaline chemicals and their
corresponding pH values. This chart is provided for informational reference only. ORGANIC
AIRBORN MATERIALS
Organic damage is generally easier to identify. Organic damage is mostly due to tree sap, bird and
insect droppings, dead insects (Figure 8) and pollen. Tree sap is easily identified by clear raised
drops that may be hard or sticky. Bee or bug dropping spots may appear brownish or yellow in
color, about an eighth to a quarter inch in diameter. Dead and decomposing insect bodies are
readily visible to the eye. Pollen deposits are small yellow clusters. Each of these items is
potentially damaging to any currently available paint system. Other noticeable traits of organic
damage are spots that are raised (swelling) micro-crazing (cracked) and pitting, due to pollen
eating into the paint film. The active ingredients in most organic contaminants are tannic and formic
acids . These acids are found in berries and bodily fluids of insects and birds.
Investigations completed at dealerships show that the bright lot lights tend to attract insects. The
use of "soft lights" for display and storage lot illumination will help reduce damage resulting from
decomposing bugs and droppings by decreasing the number of bugs attracted to these lights.
Organic damage is accelerated by heat. During very hot weather conditions, it is important to wash
vehicles more often.
ORGANIC AND INORGANIC REPAIR PROCEDURES FOR MILD DAMAGE
Iron dust particles may imbed themselves into the paint film. On some light colored vehicles after
some weathering, tiny dots of rust start to appear. They

feel rough to the touch and are difficult to remove. The best way to remove these particles is by
treating the finish with an oxalic acid-detergent-water wash. Use the following procedure to perform
this service repair.
NOTE: OXALIC ACID WASH IS ALSO PRE-PACKAGED IN VARIOUS STRENGTHS UNDER
VARIOUS BRAND NAMES, IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO MIX YOUR OWN BATCHES.
1. Wash and degrease the vehicle first, using Ford Multi Purpose Cleaner (B8A-19523-B) or
equivalent, and a suitable wax and grease remover. If this does not remove all of the iron particles,
proceed with the oxalic acid wash.
2. Prepare a quantity of oxalic acid-detergent-water solution as follows:
a. Dissolve 6-8 ounces of Oxalic Acid (powder) in one gallon of warm water.
b. Add 1-2 tablespoons full of non-alkaline detergent such as Ford Multi Purpose Cleaner.
3. Apply this solution liberally to all affected surfaces of the vehicle with a large sponge. Keep the
surface wet until the technician can no longer feel any surface roughness with bare or gloved
fingertips.
NOTE: IF THIS IS NOT DONE THOROUGHLY, STAINING MAY REDEVELOP IF IRON
PARTICLES ARE LEFT BEHIND.
4. Rinse the area with clean water.
CAUTION: FAILURE TO THOROUGHLY RINSE THIS SURFACE COULD RESULT IN
CORROSION OF ANODIZED ALUMINUM OR
STAINLESS STEEL PARTS WITH PROLONGED CONTACT.
5. If the iron particles are not totally removed after 2 washings, use one or both of the procedures
listed for minor chemical contamination.
NOTE: THE USE OF POLISHING (WITH WAX), SANDING WITH MICRO FINE SANDPAPER
(1500 GRIT OR GREATER) OR BUFFING WITH VERY LIGHT COMPOUND SHOULD ONLY BE
DONE AS A LAST RESORT.
CHEMICAL CONTAMINATION
Chemical contamination, either acid or alkali, can cause off-color spots and crack the paint film. In
the presence of moisture (dew), sulfur contamination will change the color (light/dark) of the paint
pigments. (This does not apply to Basecoat/Clearcoat)
Since this contamination affects the pigments, lacquers and enamels show no difference in
resistance. Production thermal drying and air drying finishes are likely to be spotted.
Minor chemical contamination can be removed by using the following step by step procedure.
1. Wash the vehicle first by using Ford Multi Purpose Cleaner (B8A-19523-B) or equivalent to
remove the exterior foreign materials.
2. If the spotting is extensive and on the horizontal surfaces, then machine polish.
3. Apply a light grit polishing compound to the affected surface by using a soft brush. The
compound should be applied to a small area at a time so that it can be buffed out while still wet to
get maximum cutting efficiency.
4. Polish off the spots using a buffer operating at 1700-1800 rpm. Confine polishing to the spotted
areas. Repeat as necessary until all spots have been removed.
5. Remove spots on curved surfaces, near edges, and next to mouldings or ornaments by hand
polishing as follows:
a. Apply some polishing compound to a cotton cloth. (Do not use a synthetic cloth.)
b. Rub vigorously until the spots are no longer visible.
c. Clean off excess polishing compound by using a clean cloth and compressed air.
6. Buff out the polishing marks and bring up the gloss by using a buffer equipped with a clean, dry
lambs wool pad.
NOTE: IF POLISHING DOES NOT SUFFICIENTLY REMOVE DAMAGE, THE VEHICLE CAN BE
WET SANDED USING 1500 GRIT SANDPAPER AND THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE
Wet Sanding Procedure
1. Clean the exterior surface of the vehicle with Ford Multi Purpose cleaner or an equivalent to
remove all contamination.
2. Apply 1500 grit sandpaper to a rubber padded sanding block to sand the paint surface.

Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Paint: > 89133 > Jun > 89 > Paint - Cosmetic Damage From Airborn Materials >
Page 6603
3. Use a squirt bottle filled with water to lubricate the 1500 grit sandpaper as you begin to sand only
the damaged areas. Water is an abrasive as well as a lubricant in this step.
NOTE: IF THE DAMAGE HAS GONE DEEPLY INTO THE PAINT FILM AND IT WILL NOT
POLISH OR SAND OUT, THEN REFINISHING IS REQUIRED.
ORGANIC MATERIAL REPAIR PROCEDURE FOR MILD DAMAGE
Minor organic damage can be removed by using the following step by step procedure.
1. Wash and degrease the vehicle thoroughly by using Ford Multi Purpose Cleaner (B8A-19523-B)
or equivalent and a wax and grease remover to remove all organics.
2. Inspect the vehicle horizontal surfaces. If spotting or paint film swelling is extensive, use a buffer
to repair.
3. Apply a light grit polishing compound to the affected areas by using a soft brush. The compound
should be applied to a small area at a time so that it can be buffed out while still wet to get
maximum efficiency.
4. Polish off the spots or swelling marks using a buffer that operates between 1700-1800 rpm.
Polishing should be confined to the affected areas only. Repeat as necessary until all spots or
marks are removed.
5. Remove spots on curved surfaces, near edges, and next to mouldings or ornaments by hand
polishing as follows:
a. Apply some polishing compound to a cotton cloth. (Do not use a synthetic cloth.)
b. Rub vigorously until the spots are no longer visible.
c. Clean off excess polishing compound by using a clean cloth and compressed air.
6. Buff out the polishing marks and bring up the gloss by using a buffer equipped with a clean, dry
lambs wool pad.
NOTE: IF POLISHING DOES NOT SUFFICIENTLY REMOVE DAMAGE, THE VEHICLE CAN BE
WET SANDED USING 1500 GRIT SANDPAPER AND THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE.
Wet Sanding Procedure
1. Clean the exterior surface of the vehicle with Ford Multi Purpose cleaner or an equivalent to
remove all organics.
2. Apply 1500 grit sandpaper to a rubber padded sanding block to sand the paint surface.
3. Use a squirt bottle filled with water to lubricate the 1500 grit sandpaper as you begin to sand only
the damaged areas. Water is an abrasive as well as a lubricant in this step.
NOTE: IF THE DAMAGE HAS GONE DEEPLY INTO THE PAINT FILM AND IT WILL NOT
POLISH OUT, THEN REFINISHING IS REQUIRED.
PAINT RECONDITIONING PROCEDURES FOR SEVERE DAMAGE
Acrylic enamel single stage or base/clear paint systems should be painted by using the following
procedure.
1. .Wash the vehicle with Ford Multi Purpose Cleaner or equivalent to remove all organic materials.
2. Wash the areas to be painted with wax and grease remover.
3. Prepare the area as follows:
a. Neutralize the affected areas with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and water.
b. Rinse the surface off with plain water.
c. Wash the panel with a mild soapy detergent.
d. Dry the panel completely.
NOTE: IF THE DAMAGE IS THROUGH THE TOP COAT FINISH AND INTO THE PRIMERS, THE
PANEL MUST BE SANDED DOWN TO BARE METAL OR PLASTIC AND THEN REFINISHED.

Page 6604
4. Apply a self-etching primer for metal surfaces only.
NOTE: A FLEX ADDITIVE MAY BE NECESSARY WHEN WORKING WITH FLEXIBLE PLASTICS
Then proceed as follows:
a. Let dry per instructions.
b. Apply a two component urethane primer surfacer.
c. Sand the surface with 400 grit sandpaper to get to proper finish.
d. Finish sanding with 600 grit sandpaper.
5. Solvent wash panel with wax and grease remover. Then, tack wipe it.
6. Apply base coat or top coat material per applicable paint system.
NOTE: THE USE OF ACRYLIC URETHANE ENAMEL IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR THIS
TYPE OF REPAIR.
7. Apply clear acrylic urethane if you are using a base/clear paint system.
WAYS TO MINIMIZE EFFECTS OF AIRBORN MATERIAL DAMAGE
During the past year, Ford Motor Company and major paint suppliers have participated in a survey
to analyze the effects of airborn materials. This survey was conducted on foreign and domestic
vehicles. It resulted in the following interesting conclusions.
1. Keeping the vehicles clean, washing frequently with de-ionized water and drying by hand or
mechanical means will help minimize the effects of inorganic and organic materials.
2. Spray washing without rubbing will not totally remove all residue on the surface of the vehicle.
Damage could possibly occur over a longer period of time.
3. Care should be taken to not allow any painted vehicle surface to become wet in direct sunlight.
(A sprinkler system can cause damage if the vehicles are not dried.) Possible alkaline water or
mineral deposit may be the cause.
4. The use of "Soft Lights" for lighting around storage lots and showing areas will minimize the
attraction of insects and the possibility of organic damage.
5. Ford Motor Company is piloting a program for a transit/storage coating to be applied on the
horizontal surfaces of all vehicles. These coatings have shown good protection to the paint surface.
They are clear in color and should be left on the vehicles until they are sold.
6. We are testing many "permanent paint sealants" used by dealers. Until all testing is completed,
we cannot give any recommendations for what products to use. Testing has shown that a sealant
that allows water to bead up on the vehicle does not help to dissipate the materials on the paint
surface. Sheeting of water on the vehicle is highly desirable.

ISSUE
The following TSB contains information regarding the cleaning of interior leather seats and trim.
Improper cleaning procedures may damage the leather. If seats are not cleaned on a regular basis
(every 4-6 weeks), normal wear and tear can cause excessive soiling.
ACTION
Ford Motor Company has developed a new kit (Deluxe Leather Care Kit - F8AZ-19G253-AA) to
clean soiled seats without damaging the top coat of the leather. The kit contains a leather and vinyl
cleaner along with a specially formulated sponge.
Refer to the text for cleaning leather seats and trim.
The Deluxe Leather Care Kit has been tested and approved for use on all Ford and
Lincoln/Mercury leather and vinyl seating surfaces, and if used as directed, should be used for
service repairs. Many household cleaners and sponges are too harsh to be used on leather and
may actually cause permanent damage to the surface.
Use this material on leather and vinyl seats that:
^ show excessive soiling
^ have been stained with coffee, lipstick, etc.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1984-87 F-150/350, BRONCO
ISSUE: A clutch pedal not fully returning to contact the rubber bumper at the "up" stop may result in
any of the following conditions.
^ Transmission gear clash or hard shifting or failure to release into or from gear (particularly
reverse and 1st gear) because clutch pedal stroke length is decreased, causing low pedal reserve.
^ Clutch pedal may sometimes stick near the TOP of the stroke, requiring driver to "tip" the pedal
with his/her foot in order to get pedal to further return.
^ Speed control is inoperative, due to pedal not returning and permitting "shut off" switch circuit to
remain in the open position, i.e., clutch disengaged mode.
ACTION: To determine if a new cross-shaft lever is required, use the following diagnostic and
servicing procedure.
1. Check under the dash area to be certain that the clutch pedal system has no wiring looms which
interfere with pedal return, at the interlock switch rod and the end of the master cylinder pushrod.

2. Determine if the clutch master cylinder pushrod and lever pin are correctly aligned by
disconnecting the pushrod and seeing if it will reassemble to the pin WITHOUT DEPRESSING
THE PUSHROD OR DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH PEDAL. (When the pushrod is disconnected
from the pin, the clutch master cylinder piston is fully retracted (rearward) and the clutch pedal
blade is contacting the rubber bumper stop), see Figure 7.
3. If the two components are not in alignment, perform the following IN THIS EXACT SEQUENCE:
a. Loosen the clutch pedal attaching nut (left hand side).

Ford Workshop Manuals > Cruise Control > Cruise Control Switch > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Customer Interest for Cruise Control Switch: > 871615 > Aug > 87 > M/T - Gear Clash and Hard Shifting > Page 6671
b. Reinstall the clutch master cylinder pushrod to the cross-shaft lever pin.
c. Tighten the clutch pedal attaching nut (left hand side).
d. Stroke the clutch pedal several times to reset the position of the shaft to the pedal slot, THIS
STEP IS REQUIRED!
e. Again, remove the clutch master cylinder pushrod from the lever pin and check the alignment. If
the two (2) components are still not in alignment, replace the crossshaft lever.
NOTE: If the pushrod is aligned with the pin, no further action is required.
Cross-Shaft Lever Replacement
Removal
1. Disconnect the master cylinder pushrod from the cross-shaft lever pin.
1984-86 Vehicles
Remove the clevis pin. Carefully pull the pushrod from the lever.
1987 Vehicles
Disconnect the snap-in bushing by wedging a small screwdriver or putty knife between the lever
and the bushing. When the bushing tangs are free at the pin groove, carefully pull the pushrod from
the lever.
2. Remove the attaching nut.
3. Remove the lever from the cross-shaft, using a pry tool or puller.
Installation
NOTE: The proper position of clutch master cylinder pushrod relative to the crossshaft lever
(7A554) pin is controlled by this installation PROCEDURE. Therefore, ONLY the following steps
should be used.
1. Install the new lever (pin) to the clutch master cylinder pushrod bushing.
2. Install the lever onto the cross-shaft.
3. Install the attaching nut, finger tight.
4. Inspect pedal position to make sure it is against the "up" stop.
5. Tighten the attaching nut. This will permit the knurled teeth on the shaft to cut matching teeth in
lever, which then results in the correct positioning of the two (2) components.
NOTE: The above procedure is the preferred method of "adjusting" master cylinder pushrod length.
Frequently, the master cylinder is replaced or adjustable pushrods are installed to obtain the
required pushrod to lever positioning. Cross-shaft lever replacement is a more efficient method and
eliminates the potential of pushrod mis-adjustment and introducing air or contamination into the
hydraulic system.

II and 1986-87 Aerostar. The difference between the two voltage readings must not exceed 1.5
volts. If voltage is greater, a high resistance exists in the circuit and must be found and corrected.

ISSUE: A clutch pedal not fully returning to contact the rubber bumper at the "up" stop may result in
any of the following conditions.
^ Transmission gear clash or hard shifting or failure to release into or from gear (particularly
reverse and 1st gear) because clutch pedal stroke length is decreased, causing low pedal reserve.
^ Clutch pedal may sometimes stick near the TOP of the stroke, requiring driver to "tip" the pedal
with his/her foot in order to get pedal to further return.
^ Speed control is inoperative, due to pedal not returning and permitting "shut off" switch circuit to
remain in the open position, i.e., clutch disengaged mode.
ACTION: To determine if a new cross-shaft lever is required, use the following diagnostic and
servicing procedure.
1. Check under the dash area to be certain that the clutch pedal system has no wiring looms which
interfere with pedal return, at the interlock switch rod and the end of the master cylinder pushrod.

b. Reinstall the clutch master cylinder pushrod to the cross-shaft lever pin.
c. Tighten the clutch pedal attaching nut (left hand side).
d. Stroke the clutch pedal several times to reset the position of the shaft to the pedal slot, THIS
STEP IS REQUIRED!
e. Again, remove the clutch master cylinder pushrod from the lever pin and check the alignment. If
the two (2) components are still not in alignment, replace the crossshaft lever.
NOTE: If the pushrod is aligned with the pin, no further action is required.
Cross-Shaft Lever Replacement
Removal
1. Disconnect the master cylinder pushrod from the cross-shaft lever pin.
1984-86 Vehicles
Remove the clevis pin. Carefully pull the pushrod from the lever.
1987 Vehicles
Disconnect the snap-in bushing by wedging a small screwdriver or putty knife between the lever
and the bushing. When the bushing tangs are free at the pin groove, carefully pull the pushrod from
the lever.
2. Remove the attaching nut.
3. Remove the lever from the cross-shaft, using a pry tool or puller.
Installation
NOTE: The proper position of clutch master cylinder pushrod relative to the crossshaft lever
(7A554) pin is controlled by this installation PROCEDURE. Therefore, ONLY the following steps
should be used.
1. Install the new lever (pin) to the clutch master cylinder pushrod bushing.
2. Install the lever onto the cross-shaft.
3. Install the attaching nut, finger tight.
4. Inspect pedal position to make sure it is against the "up" stop.
5. Tighten the attaching nut. This will permit the knurled teeth on the shaft to cut matching teeth in
lever, which then results in the correct positioning of the two (2) components.
NOTE: The above procedure is the preferred method of "adjusting" master cylinder pushrod length.
Frequently, the master cylinder is replaced or adjustable pushrods are installed to obtain the
required pushrod to lever positioning. Cross-shaft lever replacement is a more efficient method and
eliminates the potential of pushrod mis-adjustment and introducing air or contamination into the
hydraulic system.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Ammeter Gauge > Component Information
> Testing and Inspection
Ammeter Gauge: Testing and Inspection
The ammeter is an instrument used to indicate current flow into and out of the battery. When
electrical accessories in the vehicle draw more current than the alternator can supply, current flows
from the battery and the ammeter indicates a discharge ( - ) condition. When electrical loads of the
vehicle are less than alternator output, current is available to charge the battery, and the ammeter
indicates a charge (+) condition. If battery is fully charged, the voltage regulator reduces alternator
output to meet only immediate vehicle electrical loads. When this happens, ammeter reads zero.
Fig. 1 Conventional type ammeter
CONVENTIONAL AMMETER
A conventional ammeter must be connected between the battery and alternator in order to indicate
current flow. This type ammeter, Fig. 1, consists of a frame to which a permanent magnet is
attached. The frame also supports an armature and pointer assembly. Current in this system flows
from the alternator through the ammeter, then to the battery or from the battery through the
ammeter into the vehicle electrical system, depending on vehicle operating conditions. When no
current flows through the ammeter, the magnet holds the pointer armature so that the pointer
stands at the center of the dial. When current passes in either direction through the ammeter, the
resulting magnetic field attracts the armature away from the effect of the permanent magnet, thus
giving a reading proportional to the strength of the current flowing.
Troubleshooting When the ammeter apparently fails to register correctly, there may be trouble in
the wiring which connects the ammeter to the alternator and battery or in the alternator or battery
itself. To check the connections, first tighten the two terminal posts on the back of the ammeter.
Then, following each wire from the ammeter, tighten all connections on the ignition switch, battery
and alternator. Chafed, burned or broken insulation can be found by following each ammeter wire
from end to end. All wires with chafed, burned or broken insulation should be repaired or replaced.
After this is done, and all connections are tightened, connect the battery cable and turn on the
ignition switch. The needle should point slightly to the discharge ( - ) side. Start the engine and run
slightly above idling speed. The needle should move slowly to the charge side (+). If the pointer
does not move as indicated, the ammeter is out of order and should be replaced.
SHUNT TYPE AMMETER The shunt type ammeter is actually a specifically calibrated voltmeter. It
is connected to read voltage drop across a resistance wire (shunt) between the battery and
alternator. The shunt is located either in the vehicle wiring or within the ammeter itself. When
voltage is higher at the alternator end of the shunt, the meter indicates a charge (+) condition.
When voltage is higher at the battery end of the shunt, the meter indicates a discharge ( - )
condition. When voltage is equal at both ends of the shunt, the meter reads zero. Troubleshooting
Ammeter accuracy can be determined by comparing reading with an ammeter of known accuracy.
1. With engine stopped and ignition switch in RUN position, switch on headlamps and heater fan.
Meter should indicate a discharge ( - ) condition.
2. If ammeter pointer does not move, check ammeter terminals for proper connection and check for
open circuit in wiring harness. If connections and wiring harness are satisfactory, ammeter is
defective.
3. If ammeter indicates a charge (+) condition, wiring harness connections are reversed at
ammeter.

Clock: Testing and Inspection
Regulation of electric clocks is accomplished automatically by resetting the time. If the clock is
running fast, the action of turning the hands back to correct the time will automatically cause the
clock to run slightly slower. If the clock is running slow, the action of turning the hands forward to
correct the time will automatically cause the clock to run slightly faster (10 to 15 seconds daily). A
lockout feature prevents the clock regulator mechanism from being reset more than once per wind
cycle, regardless of the number of times the time is reset. After the clock rewinds, if the time is then
reset, automatic regulation will take place. If a clock varies over 10 minutes per day, it will never
adjust properly and must be repaired or replaced.
WINDING CLOCK WHEN CONNECTING BATTERY OR CLOCK WIRING The clock requires
special attention when reconnecting a battery that has been disconnected for any reason, a clock
that has been disconnected, or when replacing a blown clock fuse. It is very important that the
initial wind be fully made. The procedure is as follows:
1. Make sure that all other instruments and lights are turned off.
2. Connect positive cable to battery.
3. Before connecting the negative cable, press the terminal to its post on the battery. Immediately
afterward, strike the terminal against the battery post to see if there is a spark. If there is a spark,
allow the clock to run down until it stops ticking, and repeat as above until there is no spark. Then
immediately make the permanent connection before the clock can again run down. The clock will
run down in approximately two minutes.
4. Reset clock after all connections have been made. The foregoing procedure should also be
followed when reconnecting the clock after it has been disconnected, or if it has stopped because
of a blown fuse. Be sure to disconnect battery before installing a new fuse.
TROUBLESHOOTING If clock does not run, check for blown ``clock'' fuse. If fuse is blown, check
for short in wiring. If fuse is not blown, check for open circuit. With an electric clock, the most
frequent cause of clock fuse blowing is voltage at the clock which will prevent a complete wind and
allow clock contacts to remain closed. This may be caused by any of the following: discharged
battery, corrosion on contact surface of battery terminals, loose connections at battery terminals, at
junction block, at fuse clips, or at terminal connection of clock. Therefore, if in reconnecting battery
or clock it is noted that the clock is not ticking, always check for blown fuse, or examine the circuits
at the points indicated above to determine and correct the cause.

Fuel Gauge: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION FUEL LEVEL INDICATING SYSTEM
The fuel indicating system is a bimetal-resistance type system. It consists of an instrument voltage
regulator, fuel indicator (gauge) mounted in the instrument cluster and a sender located in the fuel
tank,
INSTRUMENT VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The instrument voltage regulator (IVR) used with the fuel indicator (gauge) controls and maintains
an average pulsating voltage of 5.0 volts at the gauge terminals.
FUEL INDICATOR (GAUGE)
The fuel indicator gauge pointer is attached to a wire wound bimetal strip which when heated by
the flow of electrical current controlled by the sender unit, produoes the appropriate indication.
Fuel Indicating System Using A Bimetal Gauge - Typical
FUEL SENDER
The fuel sender consists of a variable screened resistor made up of a ceramic substrate. It is
controlled by the action of an attached float in the fuel tank. When the fuel level is low, resistance in
the sender is high and allows only a low current to flow through the indicator (gauge) windings,
causing the pointer to move a short distance. When the fuel level is high, the resistance in the
sender is low and allows a higher current flow and a greater heating effect causing the pointer to
move a greater distance.

Fuel Gauge: Testing and Inspection
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE NIPPLE ON THE END OF THE FUEL RETURN LINE. IT IS
THERE TO PREVENT FUEL FROM DRAINING OUT OF THE TANK IN THE EVENT OF A
ROLLOVER.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with diesel engines and dual fuel tanks, refer to the diagnosis guide
in this Section before proceeding with the calibration testing.
CAUTION: DO NOT INTERCHANGE SENDING UNITS BETWEEN GASOLINE-AND
DIESEL-POWERED VEHICLES. DOING SO MAY CAUSE SEVERE ENGINE AND FUEL
SYSTEM DAMAGE.
CALIBRATION TEST (USING ROTUNDA TESTER MODEL 021-00034)
Fuel Indicating System Test With Rotunda Tester Model 21-0015 Or Equivalent
The Rotunda Instrument Gauge System Tester Model 021-00034 or equivalent is used to diagnose
problems in all fuel indicating systems using the bimetal fuel indicator gauge and instrument
voltage regulator (IVR).
Prior to performing fuel system test the following tester checks should be made.
1. Set tester switch at IVR CHECK position.
2. Attach tester ground wire to the negative (-) terminal of 12-volt battery and touch one of the
tester terminals marked with an arrow to the
positive (+) battery terminal.
3. If the IVR check lamp does not come on, return tester for service or replacement.
TEST SET-UP
Ford F 150 2wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-351 5.8L (1986))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Fuel Gauge > Component Information >
Diagrams > Page 6810
CAUTION: DURING IN-VEHICLE TESTS, Do NOT LET TESTER TERMINAL STUDS
DESIGNATED BY ARROWS COME IN CONTACT WITH VEHICLE GROUND. THE FUEL
GAUGE WILL BE SHORTED TO GROUND, PREVENTING AN ACCURATE TEST AND
POSSIBLY DAMAGING THE IVR OR GAUGE.
1. Disconnect connector from fuel sender and hook onto the matching terminals on the tester (Fig.
4).
2. Turn vehicle ignition switch to ACC position.
FUNCTIONAL TEST
NOTE: The IVR also supplies a common regulated voltage for the temperature gauge indicating
system and oil gauge indicating system (when applicable); therefore, the IVR can only be damaged
if the other gauges exhibit similar problems (fluctuating movement or high or low indications at the
upper calibration band). The IVR has little effect on the lower calibration band of the indicator.
1. Set test switch to IVR check position.
2. If IVR check lamp flashes on and off, the IVR and wiring are functional. Proceed to calibration
check.
3. If IVR check lamp is on steady, check IVR ground screw. If ground screw is secure, replace IVR
4. If IVR check lamp does not come on, check for open circuit in gauge and/or circuit wiring.
CALIBRATION CHECK
With the tester switch in either the HIGH or LOW position, the center line of the gauge pointer
should be within the "F" or "E" white band of the graphics for the fuel test function as shown on the
tester. If the center line of the pointer registers in the white bands, the fuel indicating system is
operating properly and replacement of the fuel sender is necessary. If the pointer center line falls
outside the "E" white band, replace the fuel gauge. If the pointer center line falls outside the "F"
white band, replace the IVR and retest. If still outside the upper white band, replace the fuel gauge
reinstall the original IVR and retest for calibration.
CALIBRATION TEST (WITHOUT TESTER)
If only the fuel gauge is inoperative or appears to be out of calibration, a calibration test can be
conducted on the vehicle fuel gauge system. The calibration test checks the fuel gauge and IVR
simultaneously.
The required test equipment consists of a 10 ohm resistor and a 73 ohm resistor.
Disconnect the wiring connector at the sender unit. Connect one of the resistors between the lead
wire terminal and ground, and turn the ignition switch to the ON or ACC position With the 10 ohm
resistor, the gauge should indicate a full-scale reading. With the 73 ohm resistor, the gauge should
read at the E graduation mark. Without any resistor (open circuit) the gauge reading should be the
same as with the ignition switch in the OFF position. If reading is OK, replace wire connection to
sender.
If the gauge pointer does not move and stays below the E mark, check for an open circuit in the
wiring assembly, the gauge windings, or the instrument cluster printed circuit. If the gauge pointer
moves without any resistor connected, check for a short circuit in the lead to the sender unit. If the
gauge reads out of calibration, replace IVR and retest. If still out of calibration, replace the gauge.
GAUGE BENCH TEST FOR OPEN WINDINGS
To test the gauge for open windings, remove the gauge from the vehicle. Connect the gauge to an
ohmmeter and read the resistance. An upward movement of the needle from 10 to 14 ohms is
normal, because the current increases the temperature of the gauge coil (windings). If the
ohmmeter reads below 10 ohms or above 14 ohms, replace the gauge.
FUEL TANK DAMAGE
If fuel indicating system components are functioning properly and inaccurate indications continue,
check the fuel tank for damage which may have changed the fuel sender mounting angle and/or
damaged the fuel sender.

To prevent erratic operation of the fuel gauge or the in-tank fuel pump, a generous application of
electrical grease should be applied to the terminals of the fuel pump/sender when service is
required. The electrical grease will prevent corrosion and reduce the chance of a repeat repair.

Fuel Gauge Sender: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION FUEL LEVEL INDICATING SYSTEM
The fuel indicating system is a bimetal-resistance type system. It consists of an instrument voltage
regulator, fuel indicator (gauge) mounted in the instrument cluster and a sender located in the fuel
tank,
INSTRUMENT VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The instrument voltage regulator (IVR) used with the fuel indicator (gauge) controls and maintains
an average pulsating voltage of 5.0 volts at the gauge terminals.
FUEL INDICATOR (GAUGE)
The fuel indicator gauge pointer is attached to a wire wound bimetal strip which when heated by
the flow of electrical current controlled by the sender unit, produoes the appropriate indication.
Fuel Indicating System Using A Bimetal Gauge - Typical
FUEL SENDER
The fuel sender consists of a variable screened resistor made up of a ceramic substrate. It is
controlled by the action of an attached float in the fuel tank. When the fuel level is low, resistance in
the sender is high and allows only a low current to flow through the indicator (gauge) windings,
causing the pointer to move a short distance. When the fuel level is high, the resistance in the
sender is low and allows a higher current flow and a greater heating effect causing the pointer to
move a greater distance.

Fuel Gauge Sender: Testing and Inspection
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE NIPPLE ON THE END OF THE FUEL RETURN LINE. IT IS
THERE TO PREVENT FUEL FROM DRAINING OUT OF THE TANK IN THE EVENT OF A
ROLLOVER.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with diesel engines and dual fuel tanks, refer to the diagnosis guide
in this Section before proceeding with the calibration testing.
CAUTION: DO NOT INTERCHANGE SENDING UNITS BETWEEN GASOLINE-AND
DIESEL-POWERED VEHICLES. DOING SO MAY CAUSE SEVERE ENGINE AND FUEL
SYSTEM DAMAGE.
CALIBRATION TEST (USING ROTUNDA TESTER MODEL 021-00034)
Fuel Indicating System Test With Rotunda Tester Model 21-0015 Or Equivalent
The Rotunda Instrument Gauge System Tester Model 021-00034 or equivalent is used to diagnose
problems in all fuel indicating systems using the bimetal fuel indicator gauge and instrument
voltage regulator (IVR).
Prior to performing fuel system test the following tester checks should be made.
1. Set tester switch at IVR CHECK position.
2. Attach tester ground wire to the negative (-) terminal of 12-volt battery and touch one of the
tester terminals marked with an arrow to the
positive (+) battery terminal.
3. If the IVR check lamp does not come on, return tester for service or replacement.
TEST SET-UP

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 6846
CAUTION: DURING IN-VEHICLE TESTS, Do NOT LET TESTER TERMINAL STUDS
DESIGNATED BY ARROWS COME IN CONTACT WITH VEHICLE GROUND. THE FUEL
GAUGE WILL BE SHORTED TO GROUND, PREVENTING AN ACCURATE TEST AND
POSSIBLY DAMAGING THE IVR OR GAUGE.
1. Disconnect connector from fuel sender and hook onto the matching terminals on the tester (Fig.
4).
2. Turn vehicle ignition switch to ACC position.
FUNCTIONAL TEST
NOTE: The IVR also supplies a common regulated voltage for the temperature gauge indicating
system and oil gauge indicating system (when applicable); therefore, the IVR can only be damaged
if the other gauges exhibit similar problems (fluctuating movement or high or low indications at the
upper calibration band). The IVR has little effect on the lower calibration band of the indicator.
1. Set test switch to IVR check position.
2. If IVR check lamp flashes on and off, the IVR and wiring are functional. Proceed to calibration
check.
3. If IVR check lamp is on steady, check IVR ground screw. If ground screw is secure, replace IVR
4. If IVR check lamp does not come on, check for open circuit in gauge and/or circuit wiring.
CALIBRATION CHECK
With the tester switch in either the HIGH or LOW position, the center line of the gauge pointer
should be within the "F" or "E" white band of the graphics for the fuel test function as shown on the
tester. If the center line of the pointer registers in the white bands, the fuel indicating system is
operating properly and replacement of the fuel sender is necessary. If the pointer center line falls
outside the "E" white band, replace the fuel gauge. If the pointer center line falls outside the "F"
white band, replace the IVR and retest. If still outside the upper white band, replace the fuel gauge
reinstall the original IVR and retest for calibration.
CALIBRATION TEST (WITHOUT TESTER)
If only the fuel gauge is inoperative or appears to be out of calibration, a calibration test can be
conducted on the vehicle fuel gauge system. The calibration test checks the fuel gauge and IVR
simultaneously.
The required test equipment consists of a 10 ohm resistor and a 73 ohm resistor.
Disconnect the wiring connector at the sender unit. Connect one of the resistors between the lead
wire terminal and ground, and turn the ignition switch to the ON or ACC position With the 10 ohm
resistor, the gauge should indicate a full-scale reading. With the 73 ohm resistor, the gauge should
read at the E graduation mark. Without any resistor (open circuit) the gauge reading should be the
same as with the ignition switch in the OFF position. If reading is OK, replace wire connection to
sender.
If the gauge pointer does not move and stays below the E mark, check for an open circuit in the
wiring assembly, the gauge windings, or the instrument cluster printed circuit. If the gauge pointer
moves without any resistor connected, check for a short circuit in the lead to the sender unit. If the
gauge reads out of calibration, replace IVR and retest. If still out of calibration, replace the gauge.
GAUGE BENCH TEST FOR OPEN WINDINGS
To test the gauge for open windings, remove the gauge from the vehicle. Connect the gauge to an
ohmmeter and read the resistance. An upward movement of the needle from 10 to 14 ohms is
normal, because the current increases the temperature of the gauge coil (windings). If the
ohmmeter reads below 10 ohms or above 14 ohms, replace the gauge.
FUEL TANK DAMAGE
If fuel indicating system components are functioning properly and inaccurate indications continue,
check the fuel tank for damage which may have changed the fuel sender mounting angle and/or
damaged the fuel sender.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1984-87 F-150/350, BRONCO
ISSUE: A clutch pedal not fully returning to contact the rubber bumper at the "up" stop may result in
any of the following conditions.
^ Transmission gear clash or hard shifting or failure to release into or from gear (particularly
reverse and 1st gear) because clutch pedal stroke length is decreased, causing low pedal reserve.
^ Clutch pedal may sometimes stick near the TOP of the stroke, requiring driver to "tip" the pedal
with his/her foot in order to get pedal to further return.
^ Speed control is inoperative, due to pedal not returning and permitting "shut off" switch circuit to
remain in the open position, i.e., clutch disengaged mode.
ACTION: To determine if a new cross-shaft lever is required, use the following diagnostic and
servicing procedure.
1. Check under the dash area to be certain that the clutch pedal system has no wiring looms which
interfere with pedal return, at the interlock switch rod and the end of the master cylinder pushrod.

2. Determine if the clutch master cylinder pushrod and lever pin are correctly aligned by
disconnecting the pushrod and seeing if it will reassemble to the pin WITHOUT DEPRESSING
THE PUSHROD OR DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH PEDAL. (When the pushrod is disconnected
from the pin, the clutch master cylinder piston is fully retracted (rearward) and the clutch pedal
blade is contacting the rubber bumper stop), see Figure 7.
3. If the two components are not in alignment, perform the following IN THIS EXACT SEQUENCE:
a. Loosen the clutch pedal attaching nut (left hand side).

b. Reinstall the clutch master cylinder pushrod to the cross-shaft lever pin.
c. Tighten the clutch pedal attaching nut (left hand side).
d. Stroke the clutch pedal several times to reset the position of the shaft to the pedal slot, THIS
STEP IS REQUIRED!
e. Again, remove the clutch master cylinder pushrod from the lever pin and check the alignment. If
the two (2) components are still not in alignment, replace the crossshaft lever.
NOTE: If the pushrod is aligned with the pin, no further action is required.
Cross-Shaft Lever Replacement
Removal
1. Disconnect the master cylinder pushrod from the cross-shaft lever pin.
1984-86 Vehicles
Remove the clevis pin. Carefully pull the pushrod from the lever.
1987 Vehicles
Disconnect the snap-in bushing by wedging a small screwdriver or putty knife between the lever
and the bushing. When the bushing tangs are free at the pin groove, carefully pull the pushrod from
the lever.
2. Remove the attaching nut.
3. Remove the lever from the cross-shaft, using a pry tool or puller.
Installation
NOTE: The proper position of clutch master cylinder pushrod relative to the crossshaft lever
(7A554) pin is controlled by this installation PROCEDURE. Therefore, ONLY the following steps
should be used.
1. Install the new lever (pin) to the clutch master cylinder pushrod bushing.
2. Install the lever onto the cross-shaft.
3. Install the attaching nut, finger tight.
4. Inspect pedal position to make sure it is against the "up" stop.
5. Tighten the attaching nut. This will permit the knurled teeth on the shaft to cut matching teeth in
lever, which then results in the correct positioning of the two (2) components.
NOTE: The above procedure is the preferred method of "adjusting" master cylinder pushrod length.
Frequently, the master cylinder is replaced or adjustable pushrods are installed to obtain the
required pushrod to lever positioning. Cross-shaft lever replacement is a more efficient method and
eliminates the potential of pushrod mis-adjustment and introducing air or contamination into the
hydraulic system.

The lamp will be illuminated after approximately 60,000 miles of operation. The amber lens is
located on the instrument panel and has the word Emissions, Emiss or EGR printed on it. On 1988
Ranger models with 2.0L/4-122 engine, the lamp lens will indicate Check Engine. After performing
the required emission control maintenance, the module must be replaced or reset, depending on
type of module used. On module equipped with reset feature, reset the module as follows:
1. Place ignition switch in the Off position.
2. On Aerostar models, the module is located under the instrument panel near the bulkhead
connector. On Bronco and F-Series, the module is attached to the instrument cluster to the left of
the steering column. On Bronco II and Ranger models, the module is located on the righthand side
of the instrument panel below the glove compartment. On E Series models, the module is located
under the lefthand side of the instrument panel.
3. On all models, insert a suitable phillips head screwdriver through .2 inch diameter hole located
on module near the reset sticker and lightly press down and hold.
4. While still lightly pressing down on screwdriver, turn ignition switch to Run position. The
emissions maintenance lamp should remain illuminated for as long as the screwdriver is pressing
down. Hold screwdriver in position for approximately five seconds.
5. Remove screwdriver, lamp should go out after approximately two to five seconds, indicating the
module has been reset. If lamp fails to go out, repeat reset procedure. Place ignition switch in the
Off position.
6. Turn ignition switch to Run position and check to ensure emission maintenance lamp is
illuminated for two to five seconds. After approximately two to five seconds the lamp should turn
off.

ISSUE: The accuracy of speedometer/odometer readings may be influenced by several vehicle
components or systems. The information in this TSB article is intended to assist technicians in
speedometer/odometer concern diagnosis.
ACTION: Use the following supplemental information below to assist in speedometer/odometer
diagnostics.
OPERATION
A mechanical analog speedometer displays vehicle speed and the odometer displays total distance
traveled. The speedometer/odometer assembly is cable driven by either a transmission or a
transaxle. All speedometer/odometer assemblies, except for police vehicles are the same with
respect to the speed accuracy tolerance used during calibration. The odometer gear ratio is fixed
so that all are identical and have no error in the speedometer head.
Electronic digital operation is similar. It could use a drive cable or a speed sensor to drive the
speedometer/odometer. An electronic signal is sent from a speed sensor to the digital
speedometer/ odometer assembly. The speed sensor is driven by a transmission or a transaxle,
similar to a cable.
Several areas of concern that may affect speedometer/ odometer readings are tires, axle gear ratio
and speedometer/odometer drive and driven gears.
TIRES
Improper tire rolling radius and inflation pressure, temperature and size may contribute to
inaccurate system readings. System accuracy testing should be performed after the tires are set at
the correct pressure as shown on the safety compliance certification label. The tires should be
warmed for a short period. Best results are obtained on smooth, dry pavement while driving at a
constant speed within the posted speed limit.
AXLE/TRANSAXLE RATIO
The gear ratio of the rear axle or the final drive ratio of the transaxle must be known to select or
check if the proper speedometer/odometer drive and driven gears are present. Various gear ratios
are available, but usually are not a concern when dealing with speedometer/odometer concerns
unless the gear ratio has been changed.
WARNING: NEVER CORRECT SPEEDOMETER READINGS BY CHANGING GEARS UNLESS
THE ODOMETER IS ALSO OFF. DRIVE/DRIVEN GEARS
The speedometer/odometer drive gear is located inside the transmission, transaxle or transfer case
and is not easily accessed for change. The driven gear rotates the speedometer cable. Rear wheel
drive vehicles have several driven gears with various numbers of teeth available to correct input to
the speedometer/odometer head. Front wheel drive vehicles generally do not offer different gears
for correction.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The maximum allowable odometer system accuracy error is +/- 3.75% of the actual distance
traveled. Ford Motor vehicles are well within those limits.
The speed indication is biased high, except on police vehicles with certified calibration
speedometers/ odometers. As a general rule, the indicated speed is equal to or greater than the
actual speed. This is intended to protect the consumer against violating speed laws. Most customer
concerns are related to speedometers reading too high at true speeds between 50 MPH and 65
MPH (80 - 105 Km/h). At that speed range, the worst case errors may indicate a speed that is 10%
greater than true speed.
The speedometer head is an instrument which processes information sent to it by the rotating
speedometer cable. If the system components send the

Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Odometer > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Speedometer/Odometer - Inaccurate Readings > Page 6886
wrong number of revolution per mile to the speedometer head, an inaccurate speed reading and
amount of distanced traveled will be displayed. Since there is no error in the fixed gear ratio of the
speedometer head odometer, start by checking the accuracy of the odometer even if the customer
concern indicates a speed accuracy problem. Odometer accuracy can be checked by using roads
established at mile increments or a known local course. If roads with mile markers are used, a five
mile stretch is recommended to allow for inaccuracies. If an error is greater than 3.75%, a change
to the transmission drive/driven gear selection, tire size, or tire inflation may need attention. The
odometer should be checked again to verify any corrective action. If the indicated speed error
exceeds 10% between 50 MPH and 60 MPH (80 - 105 Km/h), replace the speedometer/odometer
assembly. Vehicles with transfer cases that have fluctuating readings may be due to slippage of
drive gears, parts not splined or loose yoke nuts.
If the vehicle has speed control, the speed accuracy can be checked using the verified odometer
vs. time. The formula is as follows:
3600 divided by TIME (seconds to cover one mile) = TRUE MPH (Km/h) EXAMPLES:
60 MPH (96 Km/h) requires 60 seconds to cover one mile
55 MPH (88 Km/h) requires 65 and 3/4 seconds to cover one mile
50 MPH (80 Km/h) requires 72 seconds to cover one mile

Oil Level Warning Indicator: Description and Operation
This system is used to indicate a low engine oil level condition. The lamp will be illuminated during
engine starting. If oil level is sufficient, the lamp will go off when engine is operating. If oil level is
low the lamp will remain on until engine oil is added and the ignition switch is placed in the Off
position. The module may take a few minutes to reset. If the engine is started during this period,
the last recorded reading will be displayed.

Oil Pressure Gauge: Testing and Inspection
This oil pressure indicating system incorporates an instrument voltage regulator, electrical oil
pressure gauge and a sending unit which are connected in series. The sending unit consists of a
diaphragm, contact and a variable resistor. As oil pressure increases or decreases, the diaphragm
actuated the contact on the variable resistor, in turn controlling current flow to the gauge. When oil
pressure is low, the resistance of the variable resistor is high, restricting current flow to the gauge,
in turn indicating low oil pressure. As oil pressure increases, the resistance of the variable resistor
is lowered, permitting an increased current flow to the gauge, resulting in an increased gauge
reading.
TROUBLESHOOTING A special tester is required to diagnose this type gauge. Follow instructions
included with the tester.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
Many trucks utilize a warning light on the instrument panel in place of the conventional dash
indicating gauge to warn the driver when the oil pressure is dangerously low. The warning light is
wired in series with the ignition switch and the engine unit--which is an oil pressure switch. The oil
pressure switch contains a diaphragm and a set of contacts. When the ignition switch is turned on,
the warning light circuit is energized and the circuit is completed through the closed contacts in the
pressure switch. When the engine is started, build-up of oil pressure compresses the diaphragm,
opening the contacts, thereby breaking the circuit and putting out the light.
TROUBLESHOOTING The oil pressure warning light should go on when the ignition is turned on. If
it does not light, disconnect the wire from the engine unit and ground the wire to the frame or
cylinder block. Then if the warning light still does not go on with the ignition switch on, replace the
bulb. If the warning light goes on when the wire is grounded to the frame or cylinder block, the
engine unit should be checked for being loose or poorly grounded. If the unit is found to be tight
and properly grounded, it should be removed and a new one installed. (The presence of sealing
compound on the threads of the engine unit will cause a poor ground). If the warning light remains
lit when it normally should be out, replace the engine unit before proceeding further to determine
the cause for a low pressure indication. The warning light will sometimes light up or flicker when the
engine is idling, even though the oil pressure is adequate. However, the light should go out when
the engine speed is increased.

Fuel Gauge Sender: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION FUEL LEVEL INDICATING SYSTEM
The fuel indicating system is a bimetal-resistance type system. It consists of an instrument voltage
regulator, fuel indicator (gauge) mounted in the instrument cluster and a sender located in the fuel
tank,
INSTRUMENT VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The instrument voltage regulator (IVR) used with the fuel indicator (gauge) controls and maintains
an average pulsating voltage of 5.0 volts at the gauge terminals.
FUEL INDICATOR (GAUGE)
The fuel indicator gauge pointer is attached to a wire wound bimetal strip which when heated by
the flow of electrical current controlled by the sender unit, produoes the appropriate indication.
Fuel Indicating System Using A Bimetal Gauge - Typical
FUEL SENDER
The fuel sender consists of a variable screened resistor made up of a ceramic substrate. It is
controlled by the action of an attached float in the fuel tank. When the fuel level is low, resistance in
the sender is high and allows only a low current to flow through the indicator (gauge) windings,
causing the pointer to move a short distance. When the fuel level is high, the resistance in the
sender is low and allows a higher current flow and a greater heating effect causing the pointer to
move a greater distance.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE NIPPLE ON THE END OF THE FUEL RETURN LINE. IT IS
THERE TO PREVENT FUEL FROM DRAINING OUT OF THE TANK IN THE EVENT OF A
ROLLOVER.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with diesel engines and dual fuel tanks, refer to the diagnosis guide
in this Section before proceeding with the calibration testing.
CAUTION: DO NOT INTERCHANGE SENDING UNITS BETWEEN GASOLINE-AND
DIESEL-POWERED VEHICLES. DOING SO MAY CAUSE SEVERE ENGINE AND FUEL
SYSTEM DAMAGE.
CALIBRATION TEST (USING ROTUNDA TESTER MODEL 021-00034)
Fuel Indicating System Test With Rotunda Tester Model 21-0015 Or Equivalent
The Rotunda Instrument Gauge System Tester Model 021-00034 or equivalent is used to diagnose
problems in all fuel indicating systems using the bimetal fuel indicator gauge and instrument
voltage regulator (IVR).
Prior to performing fuel system test the following tester checks should be made.
1. Set tester switch at IVR CHECK position.
2. Attach tester ground wire to the negative (-) terminal of 12-volt battery and touch one of the
tester terminals marked with an arrow to the
positive (+) battery terminal.
3. If the IVR check lamp does not come on, return tester for service or replacement.

CAUTION: DURING IN-VEHICLE TESTS, Do NOT LET TESTER TERMINAL STUDS
DESIGNATED BY ARROWS COME IN CONTACT WITH VEHICLE GROUND. THE FUEL
GAUGE WILL BE SHORTED TO GROUND, PREVENTING AN ACCURATE TEST AND
POSSIBLY DAMAGING THE IVR OR GAUGE.
1. Disconnect connector from fuel sender and hook onto the matching terminals on the tester (Fig.
4).
2. Turn vehicle ignition switch to ACC position.
FUNCTIONAL TEST
NOTE: The IVR also supplies a common regulated voltage for the temperature gauge indicating
system and oil gauge indicating system (when applicable); therefore, the IVR can only be damaged
if the other gauges exhibit similar problems (fluctuating movement or high or low indications at the
upper calibration band). The IVR has little effect on the lower calibration band of the indicator.
1. Set test switch to IVR check position.
2. If IVR check lamp flashes on and off, the IVR and wiring are functional. Proceed to calibration
check.
3. If IVR check lamp is on steady, check IVR ground screw. If ground screw is secure, replace IVR
4. If IVR check lamp does not come on, check for open circuit in gauge and/or circuit wiring.
CALIBRATION CHECK
With the tester switch in either the HIGH or LOW position, the center line of the gauge pointer
should be within the "F" or "E" white band of the graphics for the fuel test function as shown on the
tester. If the center line of the pointer registers in the white bands, the fuel indicating system is
operating properly and replacement of the fuel sender is necessary. If the pointer center line falls
outside the "E" white band, replace the fuel gauge. If the pointer center line falls outside the "F"
white band, replace the IVR and retest. If still outside the upper white band, replace the fuel gauge
reinstall the original IVR and retest for calibration.
CALIBRATION TEST (WITHOUT TESTER)
If only the fuel gauge is inoperative or appears to be out of calibration, a calibration test can be
conducted on the vehicle fuel gauge system. The calibration test checks the fuel gauge and IVR
simultaneously.
The required test equipment consists of a 10 ohm resistor and a 73 ohm resistor.
Disconnect the wiring connector at the sender unit. Connect one of the resistors between the lead
wire terminal and ground, and turn the ignition switch to the ON or ACC position With the 10 ohm
resistor, the gauge should indicate a full-scale reading. With the 73 ohm resistor, the gauge should
read at the E graduation mark. Without any resistor (open circuit) the gauge reading should be the
same as with the ignition switch in the OFF position. If reading is OK, replace wire connection to
sender.
If the gauge pointer does not move and stays below the E mark, check for an open circuit in the
wiring assembly, the gauge windings, or the instrument cluster printed circuit. If the gauge pointer
moves without any resistor connected, check for a short circuit in the lead to the sender unit. If the
gauge reads out of calibration, replace IVR and retest. If still out of calibration, replace the gauge.
GAUGE BENCH TEST FOR OPEN WINDINGS
To test the gauge for open windings, remove the gauge from the vehicle. Connect the gauge to an
ohmmeter and read the resistance. An upward movement of the needle from 10 to 14 ohms is
normal, because the current increases the temperature of the gauge coil (windings). If the
ohmmeter reads below 10 ohms or above 14 ohms, replace the gauge.
FUEL TANK DAMAGE
If fuel indicating system components are functioning properly and inaccurate indications continue,
check the fuel tank for damage which may have changed the fuel sender mounting angle and/or
damaged the fuel sender.

Speedometer Cable: Testing and Inspection
The following material covers only that service on speedometers which is feasible to perform.
Repairs on the units themselves are not included as they require special tools and extreme care
when making repairs and adjustments that only an experienced speedometer mechanic should
attempt. The speedometer has two main parts, the speedometer head and the speedometer drive
cable. When the speedometer fails to indicate speed or mileage, the cable or cable housing is
probably broken. On vehicles are equipped with speed control, there is a speed sensor attached to
the transmission. This is used to sense the revolutions of cable assembly and to regulate speed
control.
SPEEDOMETER CABLE Most cables are broken due to lack of lubrication, or a sharp bend or kink
in the housing. A cable might break because of the speedometer head mechanism binds. In such
cases, the speedometer head should be repaired or replaced before a new cable or housing is
installed. A ``jumpy'' pointer condition, together with a scraping noise, is due, in most instances, to
a dry or kinked speedometer cable. The kinked cable rubs on the housing and winds up, slowing
down the pointer. The cable then unwinds and the pointer ``jumps.'' To check for kinks, remove the
cable, lay it on a flat surface and twist one end with the fingers. If it turns over smoothly the cable is
not kinked. But if part of the cable flops over as it is twisted, the cable is kinked and should be
replaced.
LUBRICATION The speedometer cable should be lubricated with special cable lubricant. Fill the
ferrule on the upper end of the housing with the cable lubricant. Insert the cable in the housing,
starting at the upper end. Turn the cable around carefully while feeding it into the housing. Repeat
filling the ferrule except for the last six inches of cable. Too much lubricant at this point may cause
the lubricant to work into the speedometer head.
INSTALLING CABLE During installation, if the cable sticks when inserted in the housing and will
not go through, the housing is damaged inside or kinked. Be sure to check the housing from one
end to the other. Straighten any sharp bends by relocating clamps or elbows. Replace housing if it
is badly kinked or broken. Position the cable and housing so that they lead into the head as straight
as possible. Check the new cable for kinks before installing it. Use wide, sweeping, gradual curves
where the cable comes out of the transmission and connects to the head so the cable will not be
damaged during installation. Arrange the housing so it does not lean against the engine because
heat from the engine may dry out the lubricant. If inspection indicates that the cable and housing
are in good condition, yet pointer action is erratic, check the speedometer head for possible
binding. The speedometer drive pinion should also be checked. If the pinion is dry or its teeth are
stripped, the speedometer may not register properly.

ISSUE: The accuracy of speedometer/odometer readings may be influenced by several vehicle
components or systems. The information in this TSB article is intended to assist technicians in
speedometer/odometer concern diagnosis.
ACTION: Use the following supplemental information below to assist in speedometer/odometer
diagnostics.
OPERATION
A mechanical analog speedometer displays vehicle speed and the odometer displays total distance
traveled. The speedometer/odometer assembly is cable driven by either a transmission or a
transaxle. All speedometer/odometer assemblies, except for police vehicles are the same with
respect to the speed accuracy tolerance used during calibration. The odometer gear ratio is fixed
so that all are identical and have no error in the speedometer head.
Electronic digital operation is similar. It could use a drive cable or a speed sensor to drive the
speedometer/odometer. An electronic signal is sent from a speed sensor to the digital
speedometer/ odometer assembly. The speed sensor is driven by a transmission or a transaxle,
similar to a cable.
Several areas of concern that may affect speedometer/ odometer readings are tires, axle gear ratio
and speedometer/odometer drive and driven gears.
TIRES
Improper tire rolling radius and inflation pressure, temperature and size may contribute to
inaccurate system readings. System accuracy testing should be performed after the tires are set at
the correct pressure as shown on the safety compliance certification label. The tires should be
warmed for a short period. Best results are obtained on smooth, dry pavement while driving at a
constant speed within the posted speed limit.
AXLE/TRANSAXLE RATIO
The gear ratio of the rear axle or the final drive ratio of the transaxle must be known to select or
check if the proper speedometer/odometer drive and driven gears are present. Various gear ratios
are available, but usually are not a concern when dealing with speedometer/odometer concerns
unless the gear ratio has been changed.
WARNING: NEVER CORRECT SPEEDOMETER READINGS BY CHANGING GEARS UNLESS
THE ODOMETER IS ALSO OFF. DRIVE/DRIVEN GEARS
The speedometer/odometer drive gear is located inside the transmission, transaxle or transfer case
and is not easily accessed for change. The driven gear rotates the speedometer cable. Rear wheel
drive vehicles have several driven gears with various numbers of teeth available to correct input to
the speedometer/odometer head. Front wheel drive vehicles generally do not offer different gears
for correction.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The maximum allowable odometer system accuracy error is +/- 3.75% of the actual distance
traveled. Ford Motor vehicles are well within those limits.
The speed indication is biased high, except on police vehicles with certified calibration
speedometers/ odometers. As a general rule, the indicated speed is equal to or greater than the
actual speed. This is intended to protect the consumer against violating speed laws. Most customer
concerns are related to speedometers reading too high at true speeds between 50 MPH and 65
MPH (80 - 105 Km/h). At that speed range, the worst case errors may indicate a speed that is 10%
greater than true speed.
The speedometer head is an instrument which processes information sent to it by the rotating
speedometer cable. If the system components send the

Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Speedometer Head > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Speedometer/Odometer - Inaccurate Readings > Page 6966
wrong number of revolution per mile to the speedometer head, an inaccurate speed reading and
amount of distanced traveled will be displayed. Since there is no error in the fixed gear ratio of the
speedometer head odometer, start by checking the accuracy of the odometer even if the customer
concern indicates a speed accuracy problem. Odometer accuracy can be checked by using roads
established at mile increments or a known local course. If roads with mile markers are used, a five
mile stretch is recommended to allow for inaccuracies. If an error is greater than 3.75%, a change
to the transmission drive/driven gear selection, tire size, or tire inflation may need attention. The
odometer should be checked again to verify any corrective action. If the indicated speed error
exceeds 10% between 50 MPH and 60 MPH (80 - 105 Km/h), replace the speedometer/odometer
assembly. Vehicles with transfer cases that have fluctuating readings may be due to slippage of
drive gears, parts not splined or loose yoke nuts.
If the vehicle has speed control, the speed accuracy can be checked using the verified odometer
vs. time. The formula is as follows:
3600 divided by TIME (seconds to cover one mile) = TRUE MPH (Km/h) EXAMPLES:
60 MPH (96 Km/h) requires 60 seconds to cover one mile
55 MPH (88 Km/h) requires 65 and 3/4 seconds to cover one mile
50 MPH (80 Km/h) requires 72 seconds to cover one mile

Tachometer: Description and Operation
The tachometer is an electrically operated instrument which indicates engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm). It is mounted in the instrument cluster assembly.
The tachometer on F-150-F-350 and Bronco vehicles can be used with either 6 cylinder or 8
cylinder engines. The tachometer terminals "B" (+12 volts), "C" (coil negative), and "G" (ground)
are connected when used for 6 cylinder engines. A fourth terminal "8" (8 cyl. ground) is grounded
through the wire harness for 8 cylinder engine operation.

Temperature Gauge: Testing and Inspection Dash Gauge Test
Gauge failures are often caused by defective wiring or grounds. The first step in locating trouble
should be a thorough inspection of all wiring, terminals and printed circuits. If wiring is secured by
clamps, check to see whether the insulation has been severed, thereby grounding the wire. In the
case of a fuel gauge installation, rust may cause failure by corrosion at the ground connection of
the tank unit. The Constant Voltage Regulator (CVR) type indicator is a bimetal-resistance type
system consisting of an Instrument Voltage Regulator (IVR), an indicator gauge, and a variable
resistance sending unit. Current to the system is applied to the gauge terminals by the IVR, which
maintains an average-pulsating value of 5 volts. The indicator gauge consists of a pointer which is
attached to a wire-wound bimetal strip. Current passing through the coil heats the bimetal strip,
causing the pointer to move. As more current passes through the coil, heat increases, moving the
pointer farther. The circuit is completed through a sending unit which contains a variable resistor.
When resistance is high, less current is allowed to pass through the gauge, and the pointer moves
very little. As resistance decreases due to changing conditions in system being monitored, more
current passes through gauge coil, causing pointer to move farther. Do not apply battery voltage to
system or ground output terminals of IVR, as damage to system components or wiring circuits may
result.
DASH GAUGE TEST
1. Disconnect battery ground cable and remove gauge from vehicle.
2. Connect ohmmeter between gauge terminals and read coil winding resistance.
3. An upward movement of ohmmeter needle from 10 ohms to 14 ohms is normal, as test current
of ohmmeter causes a temperature rise in gauge coil windings.
4. If ohmmeter reads below 10 ohms or above 14 ohms, gauge is defective.

Temperature Gauge: Testing and Inspection Electrical Temperature Gauges
This temperature indicating system consists of a sending unit, located on the cylinder head,
electrical temperature gauge and an instrument voltage regulator. As engine temperature increases
or decreases, the resistance of the sending unit changes, in turn controlling current flow to the
gauge. When engine temperature is low, the resistance of the sending unit is high, restricting
current flow to the gauge, in turn indicating low engine temperature. As engine temperature
increases, the resistance of the ending unit decreases, permitting an increased current flow to the
gauge, resulting in an increased temperature reading.
TROUBLESHOOTING A special tester is required to diagnose this type gauge. Follow instructions
included with the tester.

Temperature Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
A bimetal temperature switch located in the cylinder head control the operation of a temperature
indicator light with a red lens. If the engine cooling system is not functioning properly and coolant
temperature exceeds a predetermined value, the warning light will illuminate.
TROUBLESHOOTING If the red light is not lit when the engine is being cranked, check for a
burned out bulb, an open in the light circuit, or a defective ignition switch. If the red light is lit when
the engine is running, check the wiring between light and switch for a ground, defective
temperature switch, or overheated cooling system. As a test circuit to check whether the red bulb is
functioning properly, a wire which is connected to the ground terminal of the ignition switch is
tapped into its circuit. When the ignition is in the ``Start'' (engine cranking) position, the ground
terminal is grounded inside the switch and the red bulb will be lit. When the engine is started and
the ignition switch is in the ``On'' position, the test circuit is opened and the bulb is then controlled
by the temperature switch.

Volt Meter Gauge: Testing and Inspection
The voltmeter is a gauge which measures the electrical flow from the battery to indicate whether
the battery output is within tolerances. The voltmeter reading can range from 13.5---14.0 volts
under normal operating conditions. If an undercharge or overcharge condition is indicated for an
extended period, the battery and charging system should be checked.
TROUBLESHOOTING To check voltmeter, turn key and headlights on with engine off. Pointer
should move to 12.5 volts. If no needle movement is observed, check connections from battery to
circuit breaker. If connections are tight and meter shows no movement, check wire continuity. If
wire continuity is satisfactory, the meter is inoperative and must be replaced.

LIGHT TRUCK 1986 F-150/350, BRONCO, ECONOLINE
Tilt release lever feels "limp" when attempting to adjust steering wheel. Tilt function is fully operable
but lever has a loose feel during initial portion of the lever travel.
Some vehicles built during June and July, 1986 have been found to have this condition because
preload on the tilt lever is insufficient. This can be corrected by replacing the turn signal switch
assembly.
Refer to Volume A, Section 32-41 of the 1986 Light Truck Shop Manual on installation procedures.

ISSUE: Vehicles may exhibit iridescent spots or "mottling" in tempered glass under some lighting
conditions. This condition is caused by the tempering process.
ACTION: Explain to customers that "iridescence" or "mottling" of tempered glass is a normal
condition and that glass replacement is neither warranted nor necessarily effective in resolving the
condition.
DESCRIPTION OF CONDITION
The somewhat iridescent grayish or blueish and fairly geometric spots detected in side and rear
window tempered glass are characteristic of tempered glass.
The mottled appearance is noted only under certain conditions of lighting. The occurrence of
mottling does not affect glass quality or durability and cannot be reduced by scouring the glass
surface.
The boldness of the mottled pattern in a given glass may vary, depending upon lighting conditions,
but may appear intensified if viewed through polarized sunglasses.
CAUSES OF CONDITION
Atmospheric dust and other angular reflections can cause changes in the polarized properties of
natural light. This polarization, combined with the light polarizing properties imparted to tempered
glass by the forces of tension and compression (during the tempering process), cause the
iridescent or mottled appearance.
These are the same forces of compression and tension which make tempered glass so remarkably
strong. Windshields, which are annealed rather than tempered, do not exhibit iridescence.

ISSUE: Vehicles may exhibit iridescent spots or "mottling" in tempered glass under some lighting
conditions. This condition is caused by the tempering process.
ACTION: Explain to customers that "iridescence" or "mottling" of tempered glass is a normal
condition and that glass replacement is neither warranted nor necessarily effective in resolving the
condition.
DESCRIPTION OF CONDITION
The somewhat iridescent grayish or blueish and fairly geometric spots detected in side and rear
window tempered glass are characteristic of tempered glass.
The mottled appearance is noted only under certain conditions of lighting. The occurrence of
mottling does not affect glass quality or durability and cannot be reduced by scouring the glass
surface.
The boldness of the mottled pattern in a given glass may vary, depending upon lighting conditions,
but may appear intensified if viewed through polarized sunglasses.
CAUSES OF CONDITION
Atmospheric dust and other angular reflections can cause changes in the polarized properties of
natural light. This polarization, combined with the light polarizing properties imparted to tempered
glass by the forces of tension and compression (during the tempering process), cause the
iridescent or mottled appearance.
These are the same forces of compression and tension which make tempered glass so remarkably
strong. Windshields, which are annealed rather than tempered, do not exhibit iridescence.
