Well the computers are set up and I have to get our data base set up with
record locking etc. so I have to turn off my mail for a while. See y'all
whenever I can get back :-)

Hello, my buddy has a '90 or '91 E-250 with a 5.0 motor that won't keep
running of its own accord. It will only keep running if you continually
pump the throttle. Once let off it sputters and dies, if you try to
hold it down in one place it dies too. I believe it is a speed density
system so I am guessing that maybe the MAP sensor could be the culprit
and when we stomp on the throttle it temporarily reverts to throttle
position for fuel delivery (enrichment I'd guess) and then tries to
switch back to MAP and dies. Not having a scan tool is a real pain in
situations like these. Anybody have any ideas?

>From the symptoms I'd agree.. it'd be my first guess. The MAP is the
most important sensor for the fuel delivery management. Grab one off
another Ford (They're all pretty much the same.. took my '85 carb one
off yesterady to check a '94 Probe.) and substitute it for a quick
check; if that doesnt do the trick then keep e-mailing with what you've
done and we'll go from there.
