ok, problem solved. faulty sparkplug. replaced all plugs. runs like a swiss watch. someone suggested this fix. kodos on him.

in ec 1 list check valve, control valve and servo diaphragm. is one of these the throttle opener. does not show solenoid

will check my fsm. will solenoid make a sound when it engages?

how can u test? and where is it located

not 100% sure but i believe i still have the solenoid. all the anti pollution still on this 72. can't recall how old exhaust is but i remember replacing muffler 10 years ago.

might have to go to my mechanic

my diagnosis is the muffler is back fireing when i'm stopped or slowing down. don't hear it when up to speed. some one said was the carbs . i don't want to go down that road.

recently when i'm at a stop i hear low sounding backfire. does that mean i need a new valve? i looked them up on ebay. used $45 and new old stock $396 us.

did anyone notice the stars and strips on this flag?

happy 4th of july to my fellow americans. drive safe.

My neighbor just put his truck up for sale yesterday. To bad I already bought one. ? out of my price range anyways. $17000 Canadian. 1961 fordf100 short box 302 dual exhaust. 3speed manual with over drive. Anyone notice something different about this truck?

Got a vinage 1989 Ford F-150 last week. Beautiful condition. No rust,158000 kmiles, in line 4.9 litre 6. When I called the guy he said he just put the ad up 2 minutes ago. I was first in line, he got 70 more call and they were still callin after he took ad down. Lesson ......don’t hesitate call immediately if interested. When I saw it in the parking lot I thought it must be a misprint, listed for $2500 Canadian. ( that’s $1800 us ) 5 speed overdrive. Interior clean. Qualifies for vintage insurance. I love it. Would never have happened if I waited 5 minutes more.

thanx steve. works perfect. I don't post as often as I use to. I find it's difficult to navigate. when I first joined it was much simpler. i'll try harder to use it more often. got a new old truck. i'll post pics soon. thankyou very much.

I don't know how to change my signature on my post. the signature and list of vehicle I own below when I post or reply to a post.

while watching the nbc nightly news tonite, I noticed there was a red 280z under a pile of ruble. I hope iveryone is safe that's the main concern. first thing I thought was it a member's and is he ok.
