truck stalling
Can anyone give me information on the ground cable that goes from the battery to the block? I have a 1997 ford f150 that wants to stall from time to time. I've checked the alternator and that seems to be o.k. Thank you, Kenny

We are happy to have you! There is a ton of great info on this site. But, before you go snooping around there are a few things you need to do first.
1) Want to meet or talk to other members in your area? There are Provincial, State and International Chapters located near the bottom of the main forum page.
2) Before you post a thread asking a question be especially aware of where (what forum) to place it in. FTE is HUGE! Make sure you read the Read First: at the top of the forum before you go posting.
3) And finally you should review the Guidelines. They will kind of give you an idea of what is and isn't allowed on this site ("The Rules").
And that is it. I hope you enjoy the FTE "Experience"! This is a great place and we have lots of fun while exchanging valuable info. If you have any questions or problems do NOT hesitate to contact me. Just click my username then send me an email.

You say it is stalling...and you mention the ground strap and alternator. What is leading you to those two things? Is the battery dieng? Are the headlights dimming? Have you checked the fuel system...filter, injectors, etc.? A clogged Idle Air Control (IAC) valve can also cause stalling. For that matter, I guess many, many things can cause stalling. Hope this helps a little.
