I have a 95 Bronco w/ a 5.8L (automatic). I pulled that motor and put it in a 92 F150 5 speed. It all fit and bolted. But now it seems like it has a delay on the throttle response. It idles erratically. Any ideas folks..?

have had that happin to me with my 5.8 probley a vacuum leak theres so many vacuum lines on them its had for them not to leak everything is vacuum on them

Bender

I thought about that. But could it be a sensor also..? Cause I  pulled the 5.8L from an automatic and put it in a 5 speed..? And I switched out the computers too...

Bender

rangerwheelinmike

idk theres so many thing it could be on that truck you if it was a 95 it could have been obd2 and the 92 is obd 1 so could be a problem im not sure though

How does it run otherwise ? I'd check timing for sure... I'm not sure if you know this or not but there is a 2 wire plug on the fenderwell that you have to unplug when setting timing otherwise it won't work correctly.

Bender

I'm checking that this morning. Thx folks

Bender

Ok...here's an update. I found a couple vacuum leaks and plugged them. Now it idles fine. But now, when I hit the throttle, it bogs down and wants to die. Like there is a fuel problem. I'm going to change my injectors and plugs cause it was sitting outside (covered under a tarp) for almost a year. Thx for all the help.

Check fuel pressure & clean the throttle body, kick the timing up 3 deg. Prolly timing chain needs replaced.

remove the dist cap turn the crank both ways & see what lag you have in the rotor

Should have installed a steel tchain while it was out of the truck.

I did change the idle position sensor...it's alittle better but still hesitates when you hit the gas. I going to change the fuel filter soon...thx for all the help.
