Hi all,
I purchased a 87 ford f150 with a 4.9L 300 I6 for $100.00 the motor was bad. I put a 84 f150 4.9L 300 I6 that had been rebuilt with only 35000 miles or so. My question is: What would make the truck try to crank upon releasing the key switch instead of during the springed-action part or ignition part? To me, I don't think it's getting voltage during cranking but it then tries to crank after I release the key! That part definately has voltage. Could this be a bad key switch? Relay? Hmm?
Yes, I went from fuel injection to carb. I'm not using half the wires you normally would. Don't need them. By the way, I have a entire new harness from a third truck installed it this thing also. Everything's well except that I need it to crank in the right position. What's your thoughts?
Thanks!
