You can buy an OBD- I code reader for about $25

Okay i am picking up the fuel pressure gauge now. (Otw there )
I have the bulb now so I can check codes (coming shortly must get star keys)
I've taken the tb off and clean it and stuff so I don't think it's jumped.
What is the icm that your referring to (I'm new to ford still) but I was going to check my grounds as well today and add some ground straps.


I was not aware that you can get a obd1 code reader where do they have this ?

If you did not do this, and if you didn't do the first step in diagnostics before digging into code(s), then the rest was pretty pointless. FWIW, while possible for all these parts to be "bad", the probability of all of them being bad at one is about nil, and was proven by replacing them and the problem not being fixed. With that said advice would be to do the diagnostics starting with a THOROUGH visual (and correct any and all problems and marginal items), then continue on through the diagnostic process. do NOT buy any part until diagnostics prove for a fact that replacing it will fix the problem. If you don't have the FSM and assuming codes are found, it may really help to get a copy. This because, the diagnostic flow charts for resolving codes in the shop manual are easy to follow and make diagnostics a very systematic, organized process.


Obviously I put everything down that I did. So the sarcastic questioning is pointless. Good day sir. You are here to shit talk not help.
