Known issues on the 1984 E-350 Econoline. The federal record lists eight recalls against this model year. One describes a vapor valve grommet in the front fuel tank that could split and let fuel escape; another covers a secondary throttle shaft that could pick up contamination and stick partly open, holding engine speed higher than the driver intended; a third involves nylon ties that could break and drop the main wiring harness onto engine components. Four owner complaints are logged with NHTSA, touching the fuel system, the suspension and the tires. Fuel delivery, throttle linkage and harness routing are all covered by the procedures and wiring diagrams here.
