Something electronic(?) broken - gauges, engine
Hi -
Yesterday I drove my 92 f150, 5L, for about 30 miles, turning it on and off twice. The third time I started it, as I left the parking lot I was in I noticed a great hesitation, as if the engine was going to stall. I put it in neutral & it idled okay. It starts good & has power for lights & etc, but the amp & fuel gauges are now not working, although the amp gauge does a slight jump very briefly as I turn the ignition on. The engine idles fine, but as I start to accelerate, it hesitates and bogs down as if it was going to stall (it doesn't stall, though). If I continue accelerating (to about 25mph), it does not bog down as badly, but it still runs very roughly. I had my alternator tested & it's okay. I will welcome any ideas anyone has whick will possibly lend insight into my problem. Thank you
