Tryng to pull codes, cannot find STI connector.
Hi!
I'm here trying to diagnose a cranks/no start condition. First thing to do is pull codes, right?
I can find the self test output connector (the bigger one) but no sign of the STI connector. Does someone here have a pic of their connectors they can share? I'm working on my 89 f350 FI 460.
I did a search in this forum, but it looks like the relevant pics posted by subford have been deleted.
Thanks! Mike

Fuel Injection Technical Library » How To Run a Self-Test Should be like this. Should get 2 digit codes.

update on the crank/no start condition
well, i never got to pulling the codes. i decided to just check the fuel system, since it seems to be widely accepted that a crank/no start is 80% of the time that.
tested by checking for juice to the fuel pump relay, no dice. so on to the eec relay, no juice there either. the website i was following to do this diagnosis states that if that happens, most of the time it's an ignition switch issue.
that was it! i climbed into the cab and turned the key and pushed the actuator rod in a bit more and she fired right up!
Part 1 -4.9L, 5.0L, 5.8L Ford Index of Articles.
i guess that tells me that i'll probably have to take care of the ignition acuator rod. luckily there's this forum to guide me through that.
thanks, all

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...-actuator.html Here is a link to a good writeup by jas88 on replacing the actuator.
However the ign switch is bolted to the top of the column under the dash and may just need adjusted.
