yeah i read that but i'm not fluent in abbreviations of sensors and all that hahaha... i don't know what all that means?

 

EEC - your trucks computer

SPOUT connector - under the hood by the Thick Film Ignition module, the thing you unplug to set base timing

IDM - Ignition Diagnostic Monitor

 

I've seen this code when the PIP's pooched and grounding to the Dist housing. The signal never makes it to the EEC (or ECU or PCM or computer).

 

If yours TFI's remote mounted, all that stuff looks like this: http://fordfuelinjection.com/?p=71

 

Crap, I can't remember what the IDM is.

 

thats what i said i bet it's the PIP cause i've always heard ymeski preachin if you have to replace one replace the other. because it has the exact same symptoms but a little worse. doesn't run fine after it cools down now just won't start. suppose i'll wait for this rain to clear pull it off and have it tested

 

And it's listed above me haha.

 

yeah i know where the spot connector is and i check to make sure it wasnt grounded but i just didn't understand what would go out to make it throw that code

 

I think you just did test it! You can't just pull it off, it's in the distributor. You can replace the Dist. w/ it in it. Or just replace the PIP sensor, but either way the Dist. has to be removed. Pip's are about $12.

 

welll yeah pull the distributor out and replace the pip i don't have the money for a whole new dist. workin with what i got left from unemployment.
