Hey, I an trying to figure out what's going on with my truck. Could someone let me know the symptoms of a faulty PIP or TFI? I can get my truck to start when it's cold or when I spray ether into the throttle body. The fuel system is good, but it's shutting off my fuel supply after a few seconds of running. I can feather the gas to keep it running for another minute or so, then it's dead.

I have been reading that perhaps the PIP isn't detection the engine motion right and shutting off my gas? Or perhaps the TFI is faulty or overheating? A new (refurb) dissy is about $120 for me, plus the pain in the **** of retiming, so I'd rather not throw money at the problem to eliminate one thing or another.

So, anyone know if these symptoms sound right, or a good way to check the PIP or TFI for trouble?

BTW, I am throwing a 95 or 96 continuous code, but the fuel system is good.
also, my ride is an 88 F250 5.8L EFI 4WD dual tank.

thanks
