Fuel Problem in 1985 F150 302 EFI
I have just obtained a 1985 Ford F150 with the 302 engine, EFI fuel
system. This vehicle is in a no start condition, I have narrowed the problem to a fuel problem by squirting gasoline in the intake and cranking, the engine fires and will run as long as fuel is present. Upon turning the switch to the "on" position, the high pressure pump runs continously, not for 2-3 seconds as the "book" states it should. I am not familuar with the Ford EFI system used in this vehicle so am looking for hints as to where to start. Thanks! Vic |

Fuel Problem in 1985 F150 302 EFI
First off is it a throttle body or Multi-port injection. put a fuel
gauge on it and check the pressure. throttle body injection should take 4-9 psi to start. multi port will have the injectors (one for each cylinder) in the intake. That system needs like 35-45 psi to work. I think you would have TBI on that system. check your connections to the injector to make sure it is good if your pressures are good. Also make sure that you check the ground connections near the battery and at the terminals. Make sure that you have no green wires (corroded) by lightly pulling on them to make them break. Don't yank them just pull lightly. Ford had a big problem with corroded wiring back then. I fixxed many a vehicle by replacing battery terminal ends and ground wires for conditions like this. By your description I would look there first. |

Fuel Problem in 1985 F150 302 EFI
I recently ran into a no start with the pump making noise so we pulled
the gas line fitting at the engine to see if gas was flowing. Barely a trickle came out. The impeller on the pump had come loose from the shaft so it wouldn't build up pressure.

If it was fuel injected it was the port fuel injection. Ford didn't
put a 302 throttle body in the F150, I don't even think they had one. 85 either was carb or mpfi like what the mustag gt had. |
