95 f150xl starting issue
I’ve tested everything and from what I’m getting everything is working getting the 5volts on throttle sensor opening the throttle slow to make sure it goes up then back down tapping on sensor and still going up and down I also cleaned air idler valve because I don’t see how to test so I’m really sitting here smh don’t really know what else to test also getting 5volts on the map sensor
These are screen shots from the link on cleaning the Idle Air Control valve.
If you click on the first picture in the link, the rest of the pictures and directions will fill in. Then just scroll down.
If the engine is running, there's some fuel pressure there. Maybe you need a different adapter or to remove the Schrader valve from the fuel rail fitting.
Also, I think '95 engines have Mass Air Flow sensors (MAF), not MAP sensors.
We need someone to chime in who is familiar with Mass Air Flow sensor testing.
Also, have you pulled engine codes, to see what they say? Can you keep the truck running long enough to warm it up, to pull codes?
Maybe codes will narrow down the troubleshooting process.
Take the Schrader valve out on a cold engine, because once you start the truck, if the fuel system is working properly, there will be fuel pressure at that valve, after you shut the truck off.
Will the fuel gauge you have adapt properly to the test port without the Schrader valve?
Also, on the subject of engine block grounding, you could try connecting one side of a jumper cable between the battery negative terminal and the engine block, to see if the problem resolves itself.
Pull codes first though, because if you inadvertently cause a disconnection of that ground connection, codes will be erased.
