  1. Could be an alignment issue. Has that been done? Also, did you bleed all the brakes, at the wheels, when you replaced the master cylinder?

     

    Have you got drums or discs in the rear? If drums, have you checked the wheel cylinders? Possibly one is leaking.....

     

     

    I'm sure someone else will chime in with more suggestions.

    Or sezed :hide:

  2. The MAF sensor is a squarish part screwed into the intake duct immediately outside the air cleaner box. Remove the two screws and the electrical connector, then carefully pull the MAF sensor out.

     

    GENTLY clean the small elements with a cotton swab soaked in rubbing alcohol. Do not break the wire elements! The MAF sensor costs about $400.

     

    The ECT (engine coolant temperature) sensor is located on the engine where the upper radiator hose attaches. There are two sensors there. The one closer to the radiator is the sensor for the temperature gauge, and the one further back is the ECT sensor.

     

    You might also consider removing the intake hose on the throttle body and spraying some throttle body/carb cleaner into the butterfly valve and throttle body to clean out any gunk that's in there.

    An't got a ECT The back hole has never been taped must be diffrent down here in oz :secret: Thanks for your help anyway explorx4 cleand out the throttel body got heaps of gunk out of it ' it seems to be a bit better now i think if i have another go at it i will get it right next time :aok: I now have some throttel body cleaner had to use metho last time . :allclean: I also cleand the MAF with metho dont know if that made any diffrence though :shrug:

    regards ken

  3. Go over the motor and make sure all the vaccuum hoses are tight and right. That's a good place to start. Next place to look is temp sensors and cleaning your MAF sensor. Changed your air filter lately? KISS...

    wear's the TEMP SENSOR and what the hell is the MAF SENSOR and wear is it as i said earler i grew up with carbys and ignition points and old diesel's but you show me were it is and i will have a go at it P... sly

    thanks guys

  4. The truck should idle at 900rpm until the engine is warm. The ECM reads the engine coolant temperature sensor value. Is your check engine light on?

    no the light is not it idles at 900 when hot about 1200 when cold :hide:

  5. my motor is idling at about 900 rpm tryed to slow it with the idle screw on the throttel body but that only made it stick dont know mutch about these computer cars use to carby jobs screwed the one under the throttel body but that just reduced the cold idle :help: :shrug: ( the book said it should idle at 750 rpm )thanks guys regards ken

  9. Valve stem seals as the engine idles it sucks oil in past the seals when you give it a rev it goes into the cilinder and het presto smoke :secret:

    I think you can put new ones in with out taking the heads off by putting each piston to the top taking out the spark plug putting compressed air hose in it keeping the air going in while you take the valve spring off replacing the seal refitting the spring and then moving on to the next one . :aok:

    At least that's how we did it on a falcon 4.1 motor :cool2:

    you can make a air fitting out of a old spark plug :beer:
