Since you now have a fuel injected for van, I strongly recommend you get familiar with the on-board diagnostic computer and how to pull codes from the ECU. It saves a lot of time in diagnosing and maintaining the engine. Your Ford van has a MAP based injection system and you will need to make sure all vacuum hoses are routed properly and all sensors are working and connected.

How to run a self-test (the plugs for you are beside the battery on the passenger fender area)

Two digit self-test codes

http://www.oldfuelinjection.com/ A great site with most of the info you will need to get your van running and performing good.


Windows- they're what make a van worth owning!
