I was cleaning the throttle body out and well you can say I was bored and I moved the damn stop screw . I need your help guys I haven't gotten the idle where its supposed to be its either a bit to high or too low. I have no access to a volt meter to check the TPS voltage but I'm not far away from setting the ideal idle. Can several of you guys please post pics of how far it is screwed in more less. It would be greatly appreciated. And prior to moving it, it idled fine so I know its my fault for moving the screw.

 

you say you were cleaning the throttle body? what did you use to do this? its possible you may have damaged the idle air control valve.

 

No not possible I took that off, I only cleaned the throttle body with TB cleaner. The IAC is not even old, it was idling fine but I know its because I moved the screw and the TPS might be confused now! someone post pics please!!!

 

you removed the iac? it may have to re learn it self.

 

its an SD ecu it wont learn crap haha, i already disconnected the battery to reset it but its not like MAF. MAF actually learns and compensates. Someone has to have pics, is everyone still asleep! lol

 

here you go bud i just pulled my motor a few weeks ago and had my intake sitting on my deck heres a few picks

 

OMG thank you so much! that's no where near mine. I'm going to wait for another pic to see if they are pretty much the same. what year was that motor?

 

tha motor was an 88 i can go pop the hood on my 89 and 96 f250 with the 5.8. if you need it?

 

the screw is different than mine, mine is longer but definitely not screwed in that much. I appreciate it man, thanks a lot tho

 

on a non related subject. i noticed in your sig that you have lsd? can you give me some info on that? like where you got the locker im looking at putting one in my truck

 

my model is the 92-96 one. try your 96 if its not a problem bro I dont want to disturb you from your work

 

slight problem it came like that, I believe that 5.0 explorers had a 8.8 rear end with LSD. other than that a swap maybe for a f150 that has LSD or go aftermarket but they are pricey!

 

well my 96 is a 5.8 but they should be similar, heres a shot of the screw on the 5.8



and ive heard about th exploders having limited slip its interesting hering that your truck has it already.maybe a po did it maybe it was factory hmmmm

 

thanks for both really really appreciate it, I shall adjust later. well it ain't stock because my axle code is 19 and that is a regular open differential the code for a 3.55 with LSD on a f150 I believe would be H9. just google "axle codes ford trucks" and it should pop out. its like a glossary thingy on this website. glad I could help you even if it was a little lol and thank you sir for the pics

 

thanks for the info and hope the pics get you squared away!
