I know. I told you. Easy mistake to make if you have only worked on early 5L's though.

I'm just wrecking out a 5.0 DC LTD. It had a BAP sensor screwed to the firewall, but the wiring was all EB2 (non BAP). Car was assembled in April 1992, 3 months into the EB2 model run. ID tag has engine code Z = 5.0, and the brake booster is the V8 one. Something strange must have happened during assembly

Hello all

Car is fixed!

Problem:

shaking, idle rough - the harmonic balencer was loose. Bought a new one - fixed

4th grar - TPS Sensor. Bought a new one, fixed.

Runs fine now. Actually since the new plugs and leads etc, the thing screams.

Thanks all, just thought you would like to know.

Nice - $300 for a new balancer vice $3500 for a new box. Simple investigation will always(well nearly)set you right - I always think the worst possible scenario's when something goes wrong but have now learnt it could be a $2 part stopping you dead in your tracks.

Well done for the fix.
