make shur ever thing is pluged up cranksensor make shur it firing at plugs ck fuel pressure

It should be just a bulb but the best advice i can offer is to remove it first then take it with you to the auto factor for a new one .I never go to get parts without the old one in my hand first as its just a waste of time

HELLO: It could be a frozen gas line and or stopped up filter, filter is on drivers side under the truck, looks like over sized small coke can with a connection on both ends. Thats the first place I would check.

TPS probably not cause surging idle. Could be IAC motor, could be MAF sensor. If you dont have a check engine light I would be thinking IAC motor.

Plug wires are generally the cause of this.

Rather than getting into a long winded write up....just go to your local auto parts store and purchase a vehicle specific repair manual. It'll contain the specific directions you'll need to perform the job.

Its very important to make sure you get it properly timed before you re-assemble. PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION to the section telling you how to line up the timing marks on the crankshaft gear and the camshaft gear. Also, take time to closely inspect the gear teeth for any signs of wear / damage. This is the perfect time to replace them if needed.

It's also important to make sure you've cleaned all gasket mating surfaces thoroughly so as to prevent oil leaks.

This isn't a particularly difficult job, but it can be tedious. Don't get discouraged if the first time you put the chain on the timing marks have moved and no longer lineup. Odds are the camshaft, not the crankshaft will move out of alignment.

Persevere and it'll all work out.

Good luck!

that's day time running lights, your high beams are on when ever your ignition is on and headlights are turned off. If you apply the parking brake it turns off the running lights and the light on the dash goes off, if the parking brake is depressed just to the first racket click the lights will be off.

Manual or automatic transmission?

cheepest place to by parts is Serti Fit..they have these facilitey all over the state. ford wanted 400. for my Cobra hood I got it threw Certi Fit for 180.00 so it will sae you a lot of money

Are the fuel injectors firing on all cylinders?

Try getting some throttle body cleaner, open the throttle body butterfly valve and clean it with an old toothbrush. It should be better.

Sounds like maybe you should double check that the wires didn't get misplaced. Not sure what engine you have but check your firing order would be my advice.

5 QTS.

75W-90 Regular or Syn

thats usually a sign of a vacuum leak, recheck and make sure you don't have any loose hoses, or cut intake seals

Tail and brake lights come from different switches, so problem sounds more like connector between front and back of truck. Wiring diagrams are problematic in FixYa due to resolution issues, sorry.

no such thing ! what are you asking ? you need to name the problem
