Hi guys,
I just recently got my old 94 back from my daughter and her husband after they moved on and got new vehicles. It's a 5.0 manual shift 4x4. It will not start unless I add just a tiny bit of pedal. Then it takes a couple tries, almost sounds like a carb motor that is flooded a bit when I do that. Without adding some pedal, it just cranks and cranks. Once it starts it runs just fine. I pressure washed everything under the hood and around tranny area today in preparation to replace clutch and have tranny repaired. Then it wouldn't start at all. Dried out cap, blew out every plug connection. No go. Gave it a shot of starting fluid and it fired right up and stayed running just fine. Is that a sure sign pumps bad? I have a couple pieces coming from CFM technologies I learned about on here. I bought a thing bolts between gas line and tbi you can put a gauge on to check pressure. And I got a kit to freshen up the tbi after go through and disassemble and clean it. Those parts won't be here till Tuesday or Wednesday. I searched for three days but have not found a definitive answer to this. I'm good getting a new fuel pump but just making sure there's not another sensor or something keeping it from starting.
