I've got a '90 f-150 with 250K on it, and it stinks to high heck after it's warmed up. The EGR hadn't been connected for almost 2 years (the small vacuum line) when last week I fixed that problem. However, it still stinks.. burns yer eyes after it's warm.. any ideas?? Inspection is almost a year past due and I think maybe it's time..
Thx!

Your HEGO may be bad, or the cats may be fouled. It sounds like it's running rich.

Does it have that rotten egg type smell? if so i'd say its your cats..they are probably clogged up.
Other than that, i'd say you've got a severe gas leak, might be an injector, or you've got fouled o2 sensors.

I guess i'll pick up a code reader tomorrow.. and yes, it's running REAL rich. I'm thinking O2s being that the whole exhaust is new (sans tailpipe)
thx for yer help. my poor truck's been neglected for too long.
btw, I know there's a way to pull codes with my multimeter.. anyone got a diagram. and what about the blinking check engine light?? I did it on my old Chevy.. but never on the Ford.
