That's in the works. Found out why it won't idle. Turn the key multiple times you get about 6-7psi fuel pressure and then it drops to 5-4psi. Found the box for the new pump in the bed. It was a no name Amazon pump

Probably for TBI as well.

Let me guess, it has a full tank of gas?

Default Fixed!

I load tested the circuit back by the fuel pump (using a 5amp light) and it tested good. @HeyYou suggested the main ground going to the frame from the battery. I checked it out and it was good. I figured I would check the ground for the fuel pump while I'm there. It uses G100 on the bottom of the driver's side fender (by the cruise control servo). Turns out all the ground were corroded. The battery tray was full of battery acid, it must have dripped down and got on the connection.

Once they were repaired (I just used the yellow heat shrink eyelets) it starts up and idles. Hitting the gas let's the motor rev and not stall.

Fantastic work and thank you for following up! Putting anything remotely important under a battery tray is.....not smart. Ford's Team TTB would be envious of such poor engineering. But Team TFI redeemed them by putting a laminated ignition module in a high heat area

Yep, that's the one I had trouble with as well.

Absolutely! I know it is a poor engineering. Especially since they put 8 grounds together with no redundant grounds. Pure stupidity.

I thought you meant the one that went to the frame lol

G100.... Frame, fender.... been a bit. But, it is indeed RIGHT below the battery.... Probably not the best plan. Of course, putting the cruise servo under there wasn't the brightest either......
