Starting problems
Hi<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

<o></o>
I have read several places about finding error codes on different Ford trucks—mine is a 1993 Ford F150. Is it also possible to get codes out it?
Which equipment is necessary to read these codes? On motorhaven homepage, there is a Microtuner Programmers for various models—is there one available for my truck?
Can the Superchips Microtuner Programmers be used to improve the original chip or is it necessary to install a super chip?
<o></o>
The reason for my many questions is that my truck will not start. It runs fine on the starter and sounds like it will almost start every time. My mechanic says the timing belt/chain has moved one position on the sprocket wheel and that it needs a new timing belt/chain set. It would just be nice to be able to check that the problem isn’t some minor electrical problem with the equipment that I asked about in the beginning.
<o></o>
I live in Denmark and there are not many of these trucks, as we have a very stiff tax system. Therefore, I need to ask in the truck’s “homeland”.
<o></o>
Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

You can read codes with anything from a paper clip to the most sophisticated readers. Go to fordfuelinjection.com and there is a procedure for reading codes where you can count the blinks on the check engine light and they also explain what the codes indicate. Have you actually checked the timing with a timing light?? You can fill out the signature info. in your profile and then when someone puts the mouse pointer on the word signature in a post, it will display your truck info. Year, Model, Engine Size and whatever else you care to put, up to the max. characters permitted.
