I have a 1996 Ford F150 with the 4.9. First symptoms were increasingly rough running starting about 15 minutes into a drive till it bucked to a stop. I checked fuel pressure and am pulling about 55lbs key on and was holding appropriate pressure during idle on both pumps. Last time on the way to a shop, it stopped after only 5 minutes and it hasn't started since. Computer checks okay. I have replaced just about everything from the crank senor to the IAC. The last time it choked on my I noticed at the very rough idle, the exhaust manifold near where it enters the car was red hot (after 5 minutes). The cat was trashed and that has been replaced. Still won't start. The only things I haven’t replaced are the two fuel pumps and the fuel pressure regulator. Is there a test for the fuel pressure regulator that can be performed on the bench? Any clues before I send this to target practice. Thanks!

I have a 1995 Toyota Landcruiser 4x4. Every time I come to a complete stop on a red light or a stop sign and after releasing the brake there is this noise I think comes from the differential. If I come to complete stop and press the gas immediately the noise is even louder, it sounds like its a little loose and grips. What you think cuses this? What is this? How can I fix it before it gets worse?

I have a 98 prelude.. It idles fine but when the car warms up and you drive for about 10-20 min then when you stop at a stop light for more then a min. the motor wll almost shut off but then go back to normal right away.. this only happens when i stop for more then one min. and it only happens once every stop that's more then a min.

I don't think it's the fuel pump.. it does it regardless if the tank is full or not.. Actually I was thinking about the TPS but as another issue.. ( when accelerating in 2nd gear the car seems to sputter a bit) will disconnecting the TPS help me figure it out..?

car died while driving. No warning or anything. checked fuel pump. am getting fuel to injectors. I am not getting spark at plugs or out of the distributor. I replaced distributor and got the same results. I was told by mechanics that they suspect the crankshaft position sensor. How do I confirm this before changing? Has anyone had any similar experience.

It says on the warranty that they're made to last a lifetime, but that they should be replaced after 8 years (which is why I did it). How come I had to replace it after 8 years, but won't need to do it again after another 8 years (or 80,000 miles)?

I bought a 85 mini ram van (cargo version of the caravan). someone has changed the motor in it at some point and missed hooking up the temp sensor, fuel pump hoses where on backwards, and the o2 sensor.

I have all of them fixed except for the o2 sensor there is just a little piece of wire hanging off of it (black) and i have no idea where it is suposed to be hooked up at. there is a gray wire running down to the vicinity of the o2 sensor but i am not sure if it is the right one or not.

The van runs great but when it warms up it has difficulty staying running.

any help i can get getting with this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Over the summer the ac in my car quit working. I thought it was just a leak and that I needed to charge it. Fall was around the corner and I was low on cash so I put it off. Now that it is getting cold I tried using my heater and it doesn't work either. The fans seem to be working. I'm scared because anytime my car breaks it is something expensive. If I could get some advice I would feel better. At least I would have a clue before going to the mecanic

Thanks in advance.

My daughter has had someone put sugar in her gas tank and we don't believe it has had enough time to reach the engine, cause most of it was still caked at the base of the neck where they tried to put it into the tank.
