7.3 IDI Turbo
So... i checked my glowplugs as suggested yesterday. and of course ya'll were right on the money. Three bad plugs. So its saturday afternoon and ford parts is closed. called all ovr town and could only find autolites. My father in law said what about Pepboys. I despise Pepboys but called anyways. They had 4 Bosch in stock. I got three and put them in. Of course two were under the turbo. I wanted Ford but heard that Bosch is ok and knew i didnt want autolites. Put em in and it starts perfect. Glowplugs cycle on for about 15 seconds on first round. glad i didnt put the switch in now. Thanks for the advice. Then I changed the thermostat. Found the old thermostat had managed to bust the plastic ring off of the bottom and it stuck in the thermostat and held it open. Replaced with ford product and i have heat once again. Thanks for the all the advice. One last question, i noticed today that the oil pressure gauge drops and the needle bounces when i hit the brakes. At idle and under throttle it shows what it has always showed. Should i check the connection? Any suggestions?
