F53 460

We purchased a 1997 Thor Hurricane motorhome. Running poorly. We replaced the in tank fuel pump. All plugs and injectors. Running better, but still getting a code for a spout plug and speed sensor plug. Still not running right. Any suggestions? We can’t find a spout plug after searching for several hours.

Welcome to FTE!

Do you have a service manual for this vehicle?

I am moving you to 460 land. Even though the F53 should fit into the Large Truck forum, the 460 is an "unknown" in that forum as it was never offered in any medium or heavy truck.

You can search for "1997 ford f53 service manual" and see what you find.

I found a bunch of later models and owner's manuals, and this:

You might find paper copies on ebay etc.

What are the error codes by number and when are they being displayed?

Ford puts the spout plug located near the ICM. On the F53s they are hard to get to and you might need to remove some stuff to remove/replace the spout.

When you say speed sensor code and spout code?
The codes are?
You need the 4 digit code and then start with the pinpoint tests for that code
You be guessing without that

I moved your post over here as there is some history in this thread.

What to check next? What have you checked so far?

Did you get a shop manual? Did you figure out codes for this vehicle? Address the issues above? Has it been running since you last posted?
