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. _________________________ Vannin.com is a free site!

No need to, when theres so many decent ones out there, you just gotta look. The dodge aint goin anywhere though. _________________________ 87 Dodge Ram Van 150- Southeast of Disorder Member Vanatics Van Club-Spfld, IL Member Florida Van Council Member Central Florida Vans,-Orlando, FL

That oughta cover it for now. Picked up a little 15 inch tv from the pile of crap from my grandmas house, gotta wire up an inverter and dvd player for it. Otherwise this one is mostly all body work. _________________________ 87 Dodge Ram Van 150- Southeast of Disorder Member Vanatics Van Club-Spfld, IL Member Florida Van Council Member Central Florida Vans,-Orlando, FL

Not taking chances with my family. Been pondering Ram truck 20's for the Dodge anyway. _________________________ 87 Dodge Ram Van 150- Southeast of Disorder Member Vanatics Van Club-Spfld, IL Member Florida Van Council Member Central Florida Vans,-Orlando, FL

It looks like it will clean up nice. _________________________ Vannin.com is a free site! Remember to DONATE to help keep it alive! "2 Mopars come with Spark plug tubes.
