Need help diagnosing problems
I have a '92 f-150 302 efi auto
I'm trying to find out if a "vaccuum leak" I'm having is indeed that, or something else.
Upon starting the car, it idles a little rough, and sometimes the voltage gauge goes down quite a bit(stalls every now & then...is this a battery problem?) and as I give it more gas, it goes to a more reasonable mark. While driving, especially in 2nd and 3rd gear, the truck will jerk back and forth. Also, while taking off from a stoplight, I can floor it and the truck barely goes...it usually takes about 5 or 6 seconds before the rpms can get up enough to actually make it go. Also, when I turn the air on(doesn't have to be a/c..just air), it will stall out 100% of the time if I don't give it any gas. Could this be caused by a vaccuum leak(if that really is my problem)?
Thanks for any help. I love this truck and would rather get it fixed than trade it.
