I think you will have better luck posting over in the Pre-Power Stroke Diesel (7.3L IDI & 6.9L) Form.

Here is a link to it:

Angry Same issue.....


Alright, so I bought myself a 1990 F250 was told it was an inline 6cyl..... One problem, there's a big 5.8L stamped on the cover and 8 wires coming outta the cap.

That aside, I managed to tow my travel trailer down to work, then the damn thing stalled out on me as I was pulling into the campground. I put it in neutral and cranked it over, it started got me to my site then died. I have changed the fuel filter, but have heard rumours that being a dual tank set up with a propane (not connected) system that there are two fuel filters.

First question, is this true? And if so where are the locations? I only found the one.

Second question, is the fuel pump(s) located in the tank(s) or somewhere else?

I had the same problem with the relay as mine was not located where it was supposed to be, I had to do a little search and destroy before I found those.

If anybody can give me some pointers I'd appreciate it!

To start with you should start your own Thread to ask for help.

That a side if you have a gas 1990 truck you have two high pressure fuel pumps and one is located in each fuel tank. You have one filter on the frame and a strainer at the bottom of each fuel pump better known as a FDM (Fuel Delivery Module).

But it sounds to me that your problem sound more like a spark or computer problem.
If you do not have spark and you unplug the computer and spark comes back you have a computer problem.
If it does not then look at the PIP sensor or the TFI (ICM) module.

Wishing I had net down at the campsite, but anyhow, so where would I find the computer to unplug it?

why would you want to unplug your computer?

Pull the codes first before you do anything.

Like subford said, you really should start your own thread

The computer is located in the drivers kick panel.
You unplug from under the hood.
