When you connect the battery to my 87 ford f150 the it instantly tries to start without a key in. When i turn the ignition key on, it goes to full throttle and just sits their reving up....im new to working on truck but can anyone help me???
I just replaced the solenoid and it ran fine because i took this truck to an orv park and the battery popped off its rackk and broke it...it also fell on the generator fan wich grided a hole in the battery. i replaced the battery and now this is happening...someone suggested it being the ignition modual?
currently i have the ground detacthed because as soon as the ground touches the battery, the engine tries reving..even if the key is not inserted...when i do insert the key and turn it on, the car will rev as loud as it can untill i turn it off...its wierd
What im asking is, when you turn the key on a normal car you will hear the starter engage, when you connect the battery to your truck it sounds as if someones turning the key? Does it start? or just crank?
When i connect the battery , yes it will crank, but not start...it only completely starts when i turn the key, otherwise it'll just sit there and crank untill the battery dies...
