1993 ford f150

Asked by GuruD7CQ7 Sep 26, 2017 at 07:00 AM about the 1993 Ford F-150 XL 4WD LB

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So today i finally took my ford truck to the
inspecrion station the check engine light usually
turns on but ahuts off after car is warmed up but
today it didnt shut off we had put 93 in the rear
tank as the front tanks pump does not work we
saw the tank was low so we decided to get more
gas we got 87 so we drove to the inapextion
station located 5 miles from my house after it
passed i startes getting the hang of driving stick
and then i couldnt give the truck more than my big
toe could push the peddal down or it would
missfire causing a violent shake and after 2 miles
it had no ability to start back up we called AAA and
as they loaded the truck up it was leaking
something out of the front it is now sitting in my
drive way i looked under to fine what appears to be
iol leaking out of the bottom belt pulley and i dont
know what to do.

if a vehicle is not running right don't continue driving it , make sure there's oil in it and if it idles clean it up and find the source of the leak an ignition up grade may be in order , plugs , wires , coil , check them first so you don't waste money , I'll bet the oil pan has considerable rust on it .,

No it’s nothing with the plugs wires or coils I just replaced those about a year ago and barley put 50 miles on it since then the leak is coming from the bottom belt pulley and the oil pan does not have rust a little rust and it’s no where near the leak I think the gasket just needs to be replace As for the misfiring my father suggested a clogged catalytic converter restricting air flow if anyone has another opinion on this please let me know

put a can of octane booster in the tank see if that helps , you said it has little mileage and there is a difference between winter gas and summer gas

I said I put low miles on it the truck itself has over 200000 miles we just finished a full 16 gallon tank of 93 high octane
