    1987 E-350 changed out fuel / water seperator

    You should also check the actual ignition switch that is located lower down on the column. I had one that was starting to come apart and my truck would only start intermittently when I turned the key.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I wish my a/c was that cold. It is 110* today and my a/c only brings it down to 85* in the center vent.

    Does the wear and tear on the IP and injectors retard or advance the timing of the IP

    Thanks for the info. My truck has 180k miles on it so I know it is due a rebuilt IP and new injectors. I guess I need to start saving my pennies.

    My first E4OD…what is the issue?

    I would fix the brake light switch and any other brake light problems first just to make sure they aren't sending incorrect signals to the transmission which can cause transmission problems too.
