Hello all,
I managed to disconnect (without breaking them<g>) things I suspected
might have been the diagnostic connectors mentioned in Haynes, and they
look nothing like the illustrations. Some more searching revealed a
statement that a slightly later vehicle has no fuel pump test lead.
Is the 96 F-150 (2wd 4.9) an OBD-II system? I found a "data link
connector" inside the cab on the right side of the console, and it sure
looks like the standard connector.
Is the idea that OBD-II adds codes for the fuel pump? That would
explain a lot.
My lead theory at present is that I have a bad fuel pump check valve
that lead to cross-filling. That would explain the low pressure
condition and the cross-filling, but I'm not convinced it explains the
leak, which is what grabbed my attention.
Bill
