HARD START,SURGE/HESITATION HOT FUEL HANDLING PROCEDURE

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1983-85 'F' Car With L69 Engines (Engine Code G) and 1983 - Early '86 'F' Cars With LG4 Engines (Engine Code H)

Customer comments of vehicle surge, hesitation, and/or stumbles after the vehicle has reached operating temperature, then parked and restarted, (Hot Soak) may be received. This condition is caused by a large temperature difference between the carburetor fuel bowl and the fuel delivered from the fuel tank. This condition can be eliminated by the installation of an auxiliary blower fan, which reduces the temperature of the fuel bowl during a hot soak. The fan is designed to operate at an engine coolant temperature of 106 DEG C (220 DEG F) and stay operational until the coolant reaches 90 DEG C (195 DEG F). This will maintain a fuel bowl temperature of approximately 74 DEG C (165 DEG F).
