96 Trans/ Motor issues Please Help!
Hi Im new and I have a 1996 XLT 4x4 Ext Cab F-150 with the 5.8 351. I love the Truck but I am having some isses.
Ok First My over drive "off" light on the shifter is flashing.
Also Just today I replaced the started on it becuse it died, But I got it running again and its running very wierd, It will run fine, then all the sudden, It will just like lose power, sound very wierd, and its like its choking it sleff out, and just very low power, then all the sudden it just kicks up and will run fine, then about 30 seconds later it will do it again, and this is on going, Also if im stoped in Drive, it will go to a low idel (like 500) and start to shake. I just dont get it, Iv ran sytem diognostics, and it has no codes throw altough the engine check light is on and always have since i have owned it. Has anyone experenced this? PLEASE HELP with ideas and for some reason i think its the touque converter.
Do i need to reset the computer somehow after i disconnected the battery?
THANKS -Brett

My truck does that when I disconnect the battery--I drive it little way and it clears up--I always assumed that it was the computer resetting itself-----
If yours doesn't clear up, is it possable you broke a vacuum line off somewhere--sounds something like that....As far as the 0/D light--no clue!
