67 Mustang heater core for $30 vs $260 OEM replacement. Took minor effort. Found tools left in air breather by USMC. Used nutserts for the box mounts so the next time will be easier. Push in fasteners for heater box boot from NAPA Balkamp rack. Can use straight 5/8 hose or a pre-bent one from...

Engine running, tps plugged in, trim back some of the wire insul to access the wire.

Retiredwarhorses, you sure did. You're the man. Thanks for putting me on the path.

TALLY HO! Problem solved. Bad TPS. Tried following the TM for adjustment and meas's, but no test lead, no test block and the procedure is poorly explained (21 years as a military mechanic qualifies me to make that determination I think). So, per another forum, I adjusted the TPS to .5 volts...

Without the special lead, which wires do you check voltage from? The manual doesnt specify. Only says check between A and C, but not which wires that corresponds to. Any help is greatly appreciated! Cheers!

I won mine last May and my EUC took 70+ days. That's with me emailing them at 60 and 65 days. SF97 is a little faster. Congrats on your truck!

With pump removed you can see the three threaded bolt holes and the drive pin (that MUST go back in the oval hole) Note the rust on the pump from sitting in water for who knows how long....no valley drain. My pump needed a new housing as well as a rebuild. Less than $900. Reinstallation (sorry...

Carefully remove IP bolts. Engine will have to be rotated via harmonic balancer to access each bolt. Next remove the two bottom pump hardware and top one last. It will be easier to manage. Remove pump, center spring loaded shaft will come out with pump. Now is a good time to clean the pan...

Used a "crows foot" on the end of a long extension to access hard to reach IP fuel line b-nuts. From NAPA-about $10.......5/8 I think. Looking through the oil filler tube opening you will see the three IP mount bolts and two other holes. Round one, not used. Oval one is for your pump pin. Ensure...

I read the TM, but couldn't find pics for this procedure on 'net. Maybe this will help someone with their IP issue. Truck wouldn't start/ no fuel to injectors. Drained tank, clean fuel in, pressure fuel into and out of filter housing, had fuel at rubber return hose on IP, both solenoids click...

Frank....perhaps.....anyway Wire 350c was already skinned back so motorpool had already been in there before. At idle, 350c shows 5.13v at full fwd, 5.15 full aft 355b 5.02 fwd, 4.99 aft 359h .01 both pos's Will compare to TM when back from the field. Looks like a bad TPS. Will post up final...

Cleared the codes and drove it this am. Drove perfect. Stopped and drive again, stuck in 2nd and codes 85, 86 again. When I had the ip rebuilt, they replaced the housing and I think they just stuck the tps back on so it def needs adjusting. Can you do it by just probing the wires with a meter...

I'm out of ideas. Been chasing this one for about a week. Using the TM (Supp 7) and the internet. I have no test equip Wasn't running when I got from GPnt. Bad IP-Replaced Injection Pump-runs fantastic. Drove, only up to 2nd gear. Shifted normal about three test drives after, but not now...

As they say, third time is a charm and today's recovery was just that. Folks at Robins AFB were great. They had even jumped ol' girl off and had it running when I got there. It had a full tank of diesel too! Did a quick inspection, couple laps around the yard, topped off the brake fluid...
