    Surge 5 minutes after start, advance solenoid disconnected

    I am completely baffled. I have a 92 7.3idi. The motor has only 30k miles, but the fuel pump may have over 500k miles. Symptoms are that about 5 minutes after start I get a surge with hard dieseling, like the pump is advanced. There is a noticeable surge in power along with the increased...

    Tranny rebuild now white smoke on decel

    Ok, weird deal. My 92 7.3 non-turbo IDI had a catastrophic transmission failure during a vacation trip . AAMCO rebuilt the transmission (E40D). Then I noticed white smoke when going downhill with slight to neutral throttle. Its unburnt fuel, not oil or coolant, and only occurs during downhill...

    Added Manual Glow Plug relay, now no power to IP shutoff

    I added a manual relay for the glow plugs. Now I no longer have power to the fuel shut off solenoid on the injector pump. In addition, I just noticed that the AMP light came on. Is there an issue with my alternator? I have the 140 amp HO alternator (if that matters). I'm praying that the...

    Installing 7.3 IDI into E350 Cutaway van: Tough Clearance Issues

    This weekend is the big day. I will be installing the new motor into my ambulance van (cutaway style van). These thing were shoehorned into the van's to begin with, and I've been contemplating the easiest way to do it. I've come up with the ideal of dropping it in butt first and using a...

    Nipples and Sensors (New engine, no ideas)

    This was an ambulance. I have double everything and want to know what I need and what I don't. I have two outputs from my water pump and two nipples on the heads for returns or outs. Below are links to the pictures. I have no idea where my sensors or nipples go and which nipples to just block...

    1992 idi non-turbo Sensor locations (oil/water)

    I made a huge and amazingly stupid mistake. As I was assembling my new engine, I carefully removed a sensor at a time from the old motor and installed it in the same location in the new motor. Somewhere along the line (after pausing over night) i had turned one of the motors around. Now I have...

    Blue Smoke and Oil Consumption, but only after idling or slow driving not freeway

    Let me start off with the fact it's a high mile 1992 7.3 (380,000 miles) and I'm contemplating just replacing the engine so I'm a little more confident about long trips. The motor will puff oil smoke at start up and for a while until it "Clears Out". If I am in stop and go traffic, it loads...

    Possible Broken Flexplate: Increasing bottom end noise at idle and neutral throttle

    I think I might have a broken flexplate on my old girl (1992 7.3 E350 Ambulance). I've got 360K miles on her and the tranny rebuild I last put in has a tow package with a hard hitting 2nd and 3rd gear shift (which I suspect has hammered the flex plate) Its been doing great. I don't have any...
