No it does not blink or come at all. I know it is starting to irritate me lol. Anyone know if the fuel pumps from a 90 e150 van will work in my truck? I am going to harvest the TPS and intake from it tomorrow. WIll try the TPS and see if it still does it.

I thank you for trying bro Wish it would have been that easy lol. Probably water in the gas caused the pump to go or some such like that.

This is still doing it guess I am going to bite the bullet and buy a fuel pressure gauge. Going to run the beast tomorrow until it starts doing and computer it. Let's see what it yields. This will be after a full brake job and muffler fix on my taurus lol.

I have a brother that works for the largest Ford dealership in Northern Michigan and he will not even look at it lol. Stealerships can eat my old grungy shorts bro. I am going to give that a shot as well. I want to see if the ol otc scanner can come up with anything first though. I just did a damned tune up. Ford 8mm wires, Autolite Copper Cores, MSD cap and rotor and a new coil. Wonder if that new coil took a **** on me. The old one was fine maybe I will switch them back and see.

I will be redoing my truck this summer. I will be also making a progress post with pictures to show how to fix that kind of thing correctly. Then prep and paint it so it will last. Even using non oem parts as I think 150 bucks for a fricken fender is ridiculous.
