    start but wont idle after transmission install

    It was a job to turn the engine but i only had a 19" breaker bar. I had my brother turn it while I put the nuts on the converter so It wasn't me turning it but he did say one way was much harder to turn than the other. I do know that if you don't have the converter all the way seated the studs...

    start but wont idle after transmission install

    Well I went back out and I realized that the service engine light only comes on after it dies. If i keep starting it it without removing the key will stay on but as soon as I remove the key and put it back in it is off until it dies again. So I think I got excited when I noticed it the other...

    start but wont idle after transmission install

    I didn't see this post. I will have to do this on Friday afternoon when I can get a hand. I don't have many friends I can call on for free and my brother sleeps in the afternoons so revving the hell out of my truck with no exhaust when he is sleeping would be funny for me but he would not be...

    start but wont idle after transmission install

    Yes moose it ran fine before the trans swap. I borrowed a scan tool from one of the guys from work. The service engine light is on but still no codes. When doing the transmission I only disconnected the maf and the other one that is behind it. I think it is a temp sensor. As far as the...

    An hour and a half later and it leaked down about 20 psi. Ended up with a bad headache. Tomorrow after work I will test all the fuses. Haven't done that yet. Not sure why I didn't do that first.

    1997 ford expedition Eddie Bauer edition can any1 tell me what this is or where it goes

    Welcome... Your transmission mount isn't connected then. I don't know IF you could get it out with out dropping the cross member or not. The cross member inst hard to remove. the top bolt on the pass side wouldn't come out on mine. A stainless line of some sort was in the way. I think it was an...

    Everything I have come across says I can not Test any sensors without the truck running is this true? IE: IAC, EGR, MAP, MAF. Also I did clean the IAC but I don't know if it is functioning correctly. Being that the plunger doesn't snap back freely. I can move it but it doesn't just move with a...

    1997 ford expedition Eddie Bauer edition can any1 tell me what this is or where it goes

    Like I said not much to see but you can see the orange rubber. You can see the the plate that is connected to it. It goes between the transmission and the transmission mount held in by two bolts on the outside of the plate that you uploaded. You can see the driver side bolt in this pic. I did...

    Got the fuel pressure test gauge. When it fires up it is at 30psi then it dies it sits at 40psi. Did this 10 times. the pressure didn't immediately drop so Im letting it sit for a little bit to see if it leaks off.

    Thanks stamp. I kinda felt the same way about the spark plugs but if it meant still getting help on here I was willing to do it. I'm just waiting on the parts stores to open to get a fuel pressure tester. I was looking for info on what wires to jump to use the fuel pump to do the work. I have...

    start but wont idle after transmission install

    Sorry for the lack of response. I work 12 hours so I go to work in the dark and come home in the dark. Still haven't figured this out. The veh. ran pretty good for having almost 200,000 on it. At idle the rpms did fluctuate 50-100 rpms but it never was an issue. I drained the tank, which took...

    I will get a pic in a couple days when I get under mine to drain the tank. It wont look like much because it is sandwiched between the trans mount and cross member but I can get a good enough pic
