I am listening. The coils packs and wires r an off brand. Just trying to figure what I may need to do to get it to run decent. Also sed I had 1 code come up p0113. That's the only code that came up.

 

Try blocking off the EGR valve.

 

Lookin into putting the 2 cats in and ill try the egr like u sed. And what was the question u asked?

 

You were asked twice about who's coils you used. There isn't a manufacturer named "off ".

 

These trucks are VERY picky with brands. (Which is why Jbrew noted off brand doesn't help) Specifics are key when trying to help diagnose problems for other people especially when the truck isn't in front of anyone trying to help.

With common sense involved; there's no such thing as too much information. The more detailed you can be the more the forum gurus are able to help

 

Crap, -I thought this was a low coolant code, it's not,- -

P0113 Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor 1 Circuit High

Yea, you have to fix that. Usually the wires fret and break inside the insulation at the bend. New sensors come with a right angle or 90* stiffener. Not saying this is the full extent of your problem, but it's definitely part of it. You have to go through it and use the correct parts when updating. Shouldn't have to explain EVERYTHING, this you should know.....or lease a new one every other year lol.

 

The 2 cats will replenish torque and power. But depending upon how long it was driven this way, it may be too late for that engine. You have a vehicle that's been hacked up and molested, there's no telling how bad off it is. However, it's worth a little effort to restore.

If the EGR is stuck open (there's a real good chance since the cats were hacked), then there's nothing you can do to get it to run right...it will run horrible in fact. Misfire, backfire, stall, etc..You would have to replace the valve if bad, or replace the EVR. The EVR's can be fixed by cleaning the solenoids filter at times. That particular solenoid has been used on Ford trucks since the early 80's and hasen't changed a bit.

Anyway, fix the IAT first, see how much that helps. The IAT is at the center of the air intake tube...VERY easy to r&r and must be done. Hell, who knows, it may be just a matter of plugging it in.

 

Thanx for the help. I know the cats for sure at least 1 on each side. Ill get back with the brand of wires and coil packs this eve.

 

No problem..you hung in there through the beat down....earned.

 

Thanx for the beat down. But I think its worse at my work for beat downs. Lol. Got cats hopen to get them put on this weekend. Depends on weather and don't hav a garage. And we r expecting 8+ inches of snow
