1994 Ford F-150 poor acceleration fix

Poor acceleration and keeping foot on gas to keep it running

[@veteranheavyequipmechanic4990]

88 f150 5.0l. It was losing power terribly going up hills, no cel, no codes. Thought maybe the throttle body was gummy so I cleaned it with no change. Ended up being the pickup coil inside the distributor was bad. I couldn't get just the pickup coil so I had to get a whole distributor, it probably worked out as it came with cap, rotor and ignition module. Runs like a champ now, thanks!!

[@finemyu69]

Same thing happen to my 94 f150 5.8 but it fully broke had to replace the distributor on the side of the road 🤦‍♂️

Thanx Bro 😎 I had the opposite problem 4yrs ago when it would get stuck in full high rpm rev mode and I had to slam the brakes on so I didn’t fly into cross traffic. Now its getting stuck and the truck don’t move except in jerking random motion. The solution is valve cleaner spray and a toothbrush 😎thanx

[@JJ-fm3qk]

And the rear drums too trust me it changed my view of my truck when all power was restored they get hot stuck and causes your truck to feel like loss of power

[@leegraves101]

I used to work on a lot of Crown Vics with 5.0 and The throttle body would gum up and the idle would drop to nearly nothing. Id hold the throttle open , spray it with 2+2 and scrub it with a toothbrush, cleaned it right up. Sometimes it can take the coating off of the t b but on those old cars it didn’t matter.

[@finemyu69]

The 5.0 and 4.6 was bad about doing that

I'm having that exact problem in my 89 F250 with a 351 and 4 speed. It's a abandoned vehicle left in a field for 6 years so lots of mouse damage but after 4 months of working on it with unknown amount of money its running and driving but more little problems keep showing up after I fix one thing. Barely any rot on the body and frame is solid. Never mudded or plowed with. Only 51k on it too. I like it but also hate it.
