My 1995 ford f-150 5.0 engine will barely run sometimes. It set codes 211 and 212. How do I test the system?
211-Pickup circuit fault
212-Ignition module circuit failure-spout circuit grounded
The first thing to do is remove the ignition module and let Autozone test it. If it test bad, replace it. If it doesn't test bad, check the wiring harness that connects to the ignition module for any bare wires. The spout is the little square part that's plugged in to the short harness that runs beside the ignition module harness. You are suppose to remove the spout connecter before you set the base timing then after you set the timing, the spout gets plugged back in so the computer can advance timing. If the ignition module and its wiring harness checks out ok, remove the spout connecter and insert a paper clip or jumper wire in place of it to see if the problem goes away. The 211 code is related to the pip sensor. The pip is mounted inside the distributer under the stator assembly. You have to remove the distributer cap, rotor, stator assembly, distributer gear, and its pins and clips in order to replace the pip
- My 1995 ford contour will start and run but will not move when i put it in gear it is a 5 speed fwd?

- I need the wiring color codes for the radio on my 2007 Ford e-150 cargo van? I'm installing a new car stereo in my work truck. It's a 2007 Ford e-150 cargo van (4.6 liter v8, if that helps). I have it connected for the most part (it turns on and plays properly) but every time I turn off the car the entire radio resets so I can't save any presets or audio settings. So I need the color codes for the factory harness. And yes I cut the factory harness and I'm just connecting those wires directly to the harness for the new stereo.
- I have a 1995 ford Thunderbird lx that has a V8 engine. The engine overheats fast and I can't drive it far. What might be the problem? I can only go up the road a couple of miles before I have to turn the car off and check antifreeze. Because, The antifreeze drains when I drive far, now I use water instead of antifreeze.
- What does a Ford diagnostic test. Test for on a car? I've recently took my car in for some warranty work to be done.( For free, well I thought). But the guy at ford has rang me up saying I owe them £100 for the diagnostic test which has told him its the washer pump thats gone. Can the test show its the washer pump thats gone. Or has he looked under bonnet and tryed to scam me out of 100 pound?
