If you have tried everything to get your E150 with a 302 to run smooth after it started running like it was only running on 7 cylinders then try this. I found it after working on my van for three nights in a row trying to get to fixed before going down to Texas for Thanksgiving.
I did all the stuff all you guys said to do and while RECHECKING my new plug wires for the 4th or 5th time I saw something shinny. A BARE wire going to the number two injector. When I did a compression check the brand set of plugs all look great except for number 2 but I didn't know what was causing that. ANYWAY. Somehow the wire became very briitle and broke except for a samll piece od insulation that kept the wire LOOKING intact but wasn't.
SO that was it. One bad wire in the worst place on the engine(under the upper intake)
Luckily I had enough wire to strip and solder. SO FAR SOO GOOD.
Hope this helps others.
