Ford E-150 Van

things to have looked at: the distributer-check the timing-replace spark plugs

the fuel filter may be clogged. the alternater may be going. also check the wires-cap-rotor

How many mph? I have no idea; my speedometer only goes to 85.

How many mpg? About 16.

Mine shuts off at 98mph and comes back on at 95

The key was already sheared. this is why it kicked back when you started it. keys are designed to fail in the middle cleanly if they are to fail at all. make sure the flywheel retaining hardware is properly torqued and loctited

The water inside a hose can freeze.

Well since I put the question out there, Inow have the answer: It was the blower motor module that needed to be replaced. It was burned out. It cause me 251.00 for part and labor.

The problem might not be a fuse. There is a switch which activates the brake lights when the brake pedal is depressed. This switch is usually mounted under the dash, near the top of the brake pedal lever. Insure that this switch is free to move physically, and test it to see if it is switching electrically.

The fuse panel is located inside fuse box cover which is under he dash, near the steering wheel column on your Ford Econoline.

You wont find a manual for the Mark III because its an aftermarket unit, you will have to utilize a Haynes Manual for an Econoline Van...Hope this helps

we found out that we need to press the ignition "reset button" where is this?

You have a faulty headlight switch. It's too much of a load on the headlight switch to run all the lights at the same time. You should run a separate light switch for the running lights.

The ECU on a 1993 E-150 is located directly forward of the gas pedal, on the exterior there is a 10mm bolt in the center of the plug and one on either end of the plug.

Unless you are towing something or encountering steep hills (do you live in San Fran?), you should always be in overdrive. The lock-up into overdrive won't occur unless you are going fast enough, anyway, so there is no reason not to keep the gear selector in OD.

It's in the fuel tank. Depressurize the fuel system, remove the tank, unplug the harnesses and hoses, and it should have a retaining ring that holds the assembly in the top of the tank. Highly recommend a manual and some penetrating oil.

AdvanceTrac Stability Enhancement System (if equipped) The AdvanceTrac system helps the driver maintain the stability and steer-ability of the vehicle. The system integrates anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Traction Control with other vehicle systems to further enhance the stability of the vehicle. The system shares many of the electronic and mechanical elements already present in the Traction Control and ABS systems.

AdvanceTrac constantly monitors the vehicle motion relative to the driver's intended course. This is done by using added sensors that compare the steering inputs from the driver with the actual motion of the vehicle. When there is a discrepancy between the driver's inputs and the vehicle motion, AdvanceTrac changes the force at each tire to help control the vehicle. If the vehicle begins to rotate excessively left or right, spin out, or slide sideways, the system will attempt to correct the excessive motion. If the vehicle does not respond to steering inputs, the system will attempt to increase the turning response of the vehicle.

AdvanceTrac enhances stability during maneuvers that require all available tire traction to control the vehicle. The system uses ABS and Traction Control (including control of the engine) as well as its more advanced controls to enhance vehicle stability. The benefits of the AdvanceTrac system are most noticeable when driving in wet/snowy/icy road conditions and/or when performing emergency maneuvers. In an emergency lane-change, the driver will experience better overall control of the vehicle.

low oil pressure is caused by, either low oil in engine or a bad oil pump

Often, a spring loaded mechanism on a LH side view mirror cannot be fixed. The mirror will need to be replaced instead of being fixed.

you get a repair man This is a snide remark! I was expecting some expert assistance and an answer to my question from a professional....guess neither is available.

Disconnect battery - terminal Raise and secure vehicle if needed Remove 2 or 3 mounting bolts Disconnect wiring Twist and drop to remove

A burning smell from a car's brakes means that you are braking very hard or there is a electrical short circuit in the car. Another reason for a burning smell may actually be coming from the car's heater.
