1993 f150 5.8L 4x4 engine and transmission problems
Suddenly Felt a change in the way the throttle petal
felt under my foot. Since then transmission doesn't
start in 1st and only uses 2nd and 3rd, won't go
into OD. Only shifts if I manually use the shifter to
do so. And engine feels as if it is missing when
giving it half throttle or more but is fine before
then? Also when this happened the truck instantly
got louder, crawled underneath it and noticed the
exhaust broke right around the O2 sensor and
check engine light is on.
More info: tranny fluid is fine level and consistency,
engine oil is perfect. I got gas prior to all this but
drove about 50 miles before anything happened.
Also, prior to this happening, when cold in the
morning it felt as if the truck was starting out in
2nd and transmission shifted quite early (IMO, but
idk, before this truck I've never owned anything but
Chevy) and had to give excessive amount of
throttle to kick down a gear. Any help or ideas or
input would be much appreciated. This is my only
vehicle for the time being and I need this problem
fixed ASAP. Thanks in advance for any help
