i had a fleet of these trucks and when they had a no start condition i would check spark spark first and if i see no spark i pull off the dist cap and it is always the shaft gear roll pin sheared right off, yep these 4.9L 300cid inline 6 cyl, are world famous for that, shearing off the roll pin that holds the gear on the shaft the turns the rotor and i have done many... sometimes it will shear it a bit and move the timing a bit and look for that too...

That's one of the best engines Ford ever made 4.9 L 6 cylinder engine, no timing chain, gear to gear, will last a long time if you keep the oil changed. Even the auto transmissions were good E40D last a long time if fluid is changed regularly. I have one, my buddy has one with 560,000 miles and running strong.

My 96 F150 5.8L has a similar issue. Been going on for months. Wouldn't start. I'd jiggle the coil wire. It would start. Or I had to pop open the Distributor cap and clean contacts... finally, it just wouldn't start. Put a new Cap/ rotor in. Started. Until it didn't. Put in a new coil; started until it didn't. Put in a new Ignition control module. Started right up, for a few days anyway. Now, it won't start. Haven't changed the Distributor yet, or temp sensor. Crazy! I ordered this baby from the factory, in 1995, but it's got me puzzled now...

@kellismith43293 ай бұрын
It’s not that simple to just convert it to a carbuerator - open up your distributor and see if the rotor spins all the way around you may have a worn cam gear - there is no timing chain in these (6cyl) and the factory used a phenolic aka plastic driven gear on the camshaft for quiet operation it is the achilles heel of these engines. Not a terrible task to replace the gears and you can upgrade them to cast iron, they sound like a tractor engine then but very formidable

Back in the day I used to have an old core unit a distributor with the PIP sensor and module in place. If one of those babies had crank no start no spark, you'd simply attach the ground wire to the test distributor spin the gear and watch it Spark. Anybody who has ever tried to decipher an old Ford H manual for proper testing knows what I'm talking about here. The factory Diagnostics were such a joke, new training businesses popped up on how to diagnose a Ford, seriously.

same nightmare with me right now. Replaced almost everything but the ecm (assuming its in descent condition because I hear the pumps prime for a few seconds and all the solenoids in the engine bay click and tested fine). I got it to run for a few seconds with some starting fluid but I feel like my problem is something shorted out then a mechanical issue. Im gonna run a pressure test and see what I pull but if I get nowhere with that im raising the white flag and having my mechanic do the diag for me. Fuel system is practically brand new other than the injectors but if thats the problem its gonna be a long day of work to replace those on these 300s.

My 1993 F150 5.0 would fail to start when fully warmed up. After doing a bit of research I just shotgunned the ignition system, replacing the coil, pickup, and ignition module. The coils are prone to leak (mine was), the pickup was 30 years old, and Ford Motorcraft states that the ignition module is tested for a life expectancy of 150k miles or 10 years. Solved all start issues, including a faster cold start than before. A few weeks later while out of town on a road trip, the engine would suddenly jerk as if trying to shut down. Replaced the ECM when I got home. The capacitors are notorious for puking all over the board and reeking havoc. Always use a quality replacement or you will simply build the problem right back in (buy the best and cry once!!). Running this problem down might have been easier for me due to the fact that I was is the auto repair game for 52 years before retiring. With the changes that have occurred in the industry, I really don't miss it at all. These OBS ford trucks are a lot more reliable than any of the new stuff that is produced. They are just getting old, kind of like me😬
