Re: compuvalve location 96 f 250

Did this truck have a GFI system already installed? If so, the location would be readily apparent by the presence disconnected hoses and wiring. The replacement MAY be ordered through your local Ford dealer, BUT, I have been experiencing up to a 6 month waiting period for replacement Compuvalves! You will need the VIN. Some bad news is that they will charge you a "core charge", even though the Compuvalve is SUPPOSED to be a new one.

More bad news, of the last 4 I replaced, 2 of them arrived DOA and replacing them under any "warranty" was a total joke. Some of them are approaching $3,000, each. Ford charged our department the full cost of the new replacement, and told us to file with GFI for the refund. 2 years later, we have not received it. The position with ordering a Compuvalve is not optimistic.

IMHO, it is less expensive and the end result would be a better running and longer lasting system to install another fuel injection system.

Petitioning Ford will not help, they are basically the middleman in the problem.

Frustrated as well;

Re: compuvalve location 96 f 250

my local certified cng tech says that the straight six ford engines do not use compuvalves . has anyone ever heard of this ? its a 96 f 250 with a 4.9liter straight six. there are no pipes tubing etc..coming from the injectors other than the gasoline lines. by the steering column i found some modular wiring plugs just hanging and a cng line capped.up by the brake booster there is a plugged off vac. line and some more wiring. over on the pasngr. side where the hoses for the heat and ac enter the firewall there are two hoses that have a metal on each one those hoses go back to the device under the truck that the cng is plumbed to.any help greatly appreciated.
