Just bought an 88 F150 xlt 5.0 old owner never got it running.Its been siting for 2 years in a garage.First thing i did was put fresh gas in it because from the smell it was old.
He put new wire's cap/rotor new plugs fuel pump filter.Got it running but was missing and black smoke.Had to keep tapping the throttle very fast to keep it runing would not idel. Then I replaced the TPS.
I Checked the firing order its was 13726548 I looked you tube and It said that was wrong that is for 95+ Changed it to 15426378 still not running popping sounds like out of time
The fuel pressure is 40psi does drop down.I m guessing I need New injectors. Going to look at plugs next.Any idea's thanks
