What's your problem?'96 f-150 302 starts fine, idles fine, bogs heavily trying to accelerate

Thomas,
Your problem might be in the throttle body or TPS. Check it with a multimeter. Slowly move the throttle and watch the meter for erratic movement. If it looks good clean the body and reassemble. Be sure to check the CPS (crankshaft position sensor) if your car has one. I hope this helps, Ray

How to new when my water pump is not movihg water.

You won't know if the water is moving unless you removed the thermostat, the thermostat will remain closed till the car heats up and then water will flow through your raditor.
Water pumps always spin! Unless you belt has come off it will be spinning, What happens to water pumps is they will end up with a bad bearing and will get hot. There is a small hole in the bottom by the bearing that will eventually let the water leak out to keep that bearing from melting and seizing up. If you are not hearing any grinding noises or squealing or water leaking your pump is fine.

What purpose does the fan clutch serve and how does it work?

The idea of the clutch fan is that when your vehicle gets hot the clutch is designed to start gripping the fan blade more to allow the fan to spin faster as the temperature risies. Then when you are moving fast the clutch will disengage and free wheel letting the air move freely past it. The fan would actually be moving slower than the air rushing into the engine compartment from the speed of the car and would be blocking the flow.

The most important part of the clutch fan that makes it work properly is the Shroud, it attaches to the radiator and it directs the heat toward the clutch properly. Without the correct shroud the clutch is useless and will not function properly.

Im using a metra cf-ajlo line out converter , what does the brown wire on the outputside go to ?

It’s a ground, if your amp still won’t turn on after u finished installing Then use brown one as a ground and ground it to the same one as your amplifier.

I have a 2006 lincoln Navigator with the THX sound system. I need a colored wiring diagram so I can replace the head unit and hopefully retain the factory door speakers and amp. I already have my JL Audio 12s and amp ran to the back. So I am not gonna use the factory sub or that amp. Any help would be great. I was told to use a metra harness and I got nothing. Just want to splice into factory harness from my new head unit.

You can buy an aftermarket radio harness adapter for your Navigator from ebay quite cheaply. I would not recommend butchering the factory wiring to install a replacement head unit. I found this one (will work as long as your Lincoln wasn't fitted with SATNAV) -

I tried to recategorize this question to get it into a more probable area to get a response but found that there just isn't anything suited for this question. I would try some forums that have more specialized and probable answers to this. There's a ton of information if you locate the places that discuss these topics. Or even try ebay, there's a good chance you could find exactly what you need there or even have the question answered by a seller for free. It never hurts to ask nicely.

The actual aerial normally a single plug with a pointy end on it which plugs into the back of the radio.If the 2 leads red and green are separate wires they sound like the power to release the aerial for semi auto pop up aerial or motor drive if it has motor attached.Depending on your radio the aerial will operate when turned on ,if not then for radio aerial with motor you will have to fit a 2 way switch
