Ford E-350 Van

A thermo time switch is a temperature sensor device normally used to turn on a cold start injector in German cars. The cold start injector is an extra injector normally mounted in the intake manifold. The thermo time switch will allow current through it to your cold start injector for a few seconds ( 3 - 8 depending on the make and model of car ) when the engine is cold and first started. This puts extra fuel in the system and helps it start. If your thermo time switch fails you may have a hard time starting when cold or, more commonly, a difficult time starting the car when hot. The problem in the latter case is the extra injector flooding the car when trying to start it.

Struts and alignment

This typically happens when the the wheel alignment is off.

That has happened to me three times.

i'd like to see 130-140 psi. gotta have 90 to fire.

try to locate the buzzer and cut off one of the wire.....i have same problem....if you find it let me know. :)

mine is located to the left of the engine center line, this is facing the engine with hatch open. Look for the wiring harness bundle along the top of the compartment, at about one third of the way from the engine and the left side, again facing the van. You must pull the wiring harness down a little,or separate the different bundles, to reveal a yellow cap top which is the tranny dipstick, it's about five+ feet long once you extract it. This is quite hidden and may take a little time finding it. Once found you can pull the dipstick, insert a tranny filler funnel into the filler tube and add fluids. Good luck, it can get frustrating..

Inserting the dipstick is done by turning it a little as you push it in, make sure you clean it up , free from any rust ,etc. before installing.

Yes

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

With a ford you need the owners manual for that year to know. You can usually find one on ebay. Your ford dealer service dept can probably tell you also.

The 2001 Ford E4 50 wiper control module can be found on the firewall in the engine compartment. The wiper control module will be in the center of the firewall.

Don't want to sound brash but your complete check was not so complete if it didn't find the problem. A complete check will narrow down your problem to just a couple of choices on a engine miss problem. I would redo your complete check

What is it you want to know you have to be specific.

I changed my starter last night on my 94 E-350 van and it was reletively easy. there is 2 mounting bolts with a 1/2" socket and I used plenty of extentions to get past the transmission because the exhaust pipe is right under the upper bolt facing the rear of the vehicle. the lower bolt is facing the front and is easy to get. once the bolts are out, the starter falls right out and hangs by the batter wire. a 14MM wrench took the nut off the solenoid and the small wire is just a blade connector and now the starter is in your hand. be careful not to allow the starter to drop on the ground and damage it! You should always remove the batter connections under the hood so you dont short out the electrical system and blow up the batteries! if anyone has any ideas on how to remove the alternator on this beast, I would love to hear from you! I have a bad short somewhere in my electrical system, the batteries (dual) read 15.5V at the post, but when the engine was running, the headlights were dim and the 2 dash volt meters (one stock, one aftermarket) read only 9V and now I cant even jump start it. I am taking the batteries to an auto parts store to be tested. I really hope the batteries are weak and wont keep or hold a charge, if they test good, then I have to find a short somewhere in the body!

Exact definition of loop-back plugs will depend on what application we are talking about. Mostly these are connector plugs with a metal inside to short two electrical signals. There can be loopback plugs for different applications. These can be for a serial port or an Ethernet port or loopback plugs for specific signals on a connector or on a printed circuit board. These are very useful for debugging and testing an electronics problem. E.g. one can do a loopback on PC serial port's Transmit and Receive (Tx and Rx) lines using a loopback plug or a metal short to see if the serial port is working fine. Similarly Ethernet ports can be tested with a loop-back plug made for the purpose. - Neeraj Sharma

bad float? needle and seat stuck open? too much fuel pressure?

Most likely a dirty throttle body. It affects these trucks seriously and is a very common complaint. Dhoulf br cleaned manualy then the use of a "Top Tier" gasoline and some Techron once in a while will keep it clean.

It is located on the passenger side valve cover. It is plastic and blue in color and about 2" long. You need to twist it 90 degrees to remove it. I bought mine at the dealer for $21 and some change. All the auto parts stores gave me the little steel one which doesn't come close to fitting.The parts guy at the dealership was scratching his head too. The one they show on the internet sights is not the one for this truck.

hello is anybody there ?

What year and model might help.

Simple. Lower the armrest, then push IN HARD. The armrest will push in slightly towards the seat. When this happens, push DOWN on the armrest, twisting it until just about straight downwards. You'll feel the armrest loosen up. Jiggle it slightly while PULLING OUT on it-- it should then pull out of the seatback. After it's out, you'll see it operates by a pin on the armrest shaft that fits into a keyhole on the seat.

Because you need to change the gas filter in the carburetor and you need to change the rotor and distributor. I did and the backfiring went away. Now it runs great

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.
