barn find that needs help
Hi guys i just bought this 96 f150 with only 50,k original miles the truck runs and drives perfect the only problem it has it that the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT is on i took it to a auto parts store to get it scanned and it was reading codes (P1443,P0171,P174 AND P0385) the only symptoms are that the truck doesnt want to start when its hot.. i figure out that when it does that i switch over to the rear tank and starts fine
does anybody have the same problem??

P0171 and P0174 means lean on all injectors. Bank #1 and #2
P1443 is an emissions codes for the evap purge valve.
P0385 is a crank position sensor malfunction.
The fuel pump in the front may be going bad, you will need to check fuel pressure when the engine is cold vs hot.
The evap code is not something i'd worry about unless you have emissions testing where you are.
As fo the crank sensor, you will have to see if its build up with crud, if its getting power and generating a signal.
