like bill and quikclook said.. running fuel pump.. bad ECU symptom!! and they were right!!!! thanks allot quicklook and bill (subford) and everyone else

i found an 1989 van E something.. had an 5.8 with an E4OD !! cheked the code on the computer... and it matched the one bill gave me PERFECTLY.. so we swapped it.. and now the truck runs SMOOTH!! gr8 !! and no more waiting 30 minites for the fuel pump to stop prime for it to start.. and no more overdrive botton comes on and off when i press the brake..

it runs like a new truck now.. idles so smooth i forgot i have an muffler.. and can finally enjoy my music, no more WOOHOOHOOO HUM in the cabine

question?

why is it when in D or R and idling at 500 the volt meter slowly decreases.. then immedetly when i start running again it goes back to normal.. but does this only when the headlights are on.. any ideas? maybe dirty IAC ?

Have your alternator output checked when you've got a load on it (fan blower on, headlights on, etc.,.) Mine use to do that until I upgraded the alternator.

just the way the alt reacts to the draw at idle.

do not worry about it.

Acording to my Chilton's, these are normal numbers. The 351 should idle at 650 in park, a little less in gear

Be sure to rive rep points where deserved to those that helped you.

From what I have seen, and on my truck, this is normal. The alt just can't keep up with the load at that low an idle. That is why we have batteries.

Mine does the same thing. Don't worry about it.
I have a new battery and my alternator was checked to be good.
