Question My 92 nite has issues's can anyone help

well first off.....its a 1992 ford f150 nite with a 5.0 in it....now for the issues......the starter went out in it and i rebuilt it and now all the thing does it click when your try and turn it over and if you touch the siliniod with a screw driver it still wont start....then before the starter went out it had a mist....but it wouldnt mist if u had the gas pedal to the floor.....otherwise it would mist pretty bad the slower you went....i replaced the distrubutor cap, rotor, spark plug wires and o2 sensor......well thats about it so if anyone knows what could be be causing these problems i would greatly appraciate the responds.
thanks Zach

Did the truck smoke like its carboned up?Were the plugs black when you changed them?My 92 Nite did this and it was the fuel pressure regulator needed replaced.As for the starter it sounds like it was put together wrong or you got some bad parts.

Niteman,

From having had bad experiences with starters in the past , my suggestion would to buy a unit from a Ford Dealership. I would also be hot to trot on inspecting all the wiring going to the starter , battery and solenoids too. I tend to agree with the previous poster on the current starter however , either something was missed ?...or second rate materials came in the kit.

Sure , you are going to pay a few bucks extra Vs. an Autozone or a Pep Boys , but a "Remanufactured Unit" from Ford is about as good as it gets. The best scenario is to make friends with your local Ford Dealers parts people....and see if they will hook you up with a semi-bogus account that will allow you to purchase all your Motorcraft needs at "Jobbers Rates"

Should the above work out for you? You will be enjoying some need savings and insuring Factory Spec parts going back on your Nite.

BTW...I sold Fords from late 92 -94.....and the 1992 Nite was always one of my favorite vehicles during that time. I sold a couple of the F-150's in the Nite configuration...but never a Bronco , we never had one to sell

FYI....I would not pass on a chance to own a nice example of a 1992 Nite....so keep me in mind.
