    4.6L P0301 code

    Well, I just got back from the ice roads of Yellowknife and changed the coil pack. The check engine light is out now and doesnt come back on but the truck is running rough. When I get to a hill or slight grade I have to shut off the overdrive to keep the rpm's up. The truck is bucking on the...

    4.6L P0301 code

    I was born and raised on the St. Lawrence River. I worked on the construction of Tank Range 44 and the widening of all the roads to 50' at Ft. Drum. I took a 3 month vacation in 2003 and went to Florida. Bought a house between Tampa and Ocala. I get there a few times a year. Right now I am in...

    4.6L P0301 code

    My Expedition has 130,000 miles on it. I am curious if it is normal for a coil pack to only give out on one cylinder. I notice your profile says Ft. Drum NY. I have a house about 25 miles from there. Don't get there too often, but when I do I really enjoy it.

    4.6L P0301 code

    My 98 Expedition with a 4.6L just stated running rough. The code is P0301 and the suggested remedy is to replace the COP assembly. My Expedition does not have COP, it has 2 coils, one for each bank. After stopping at the store, the truck started up and has run fine. Does anyone have any...

    Smelling Lights

    I really appreciate the replies. I have found no signs of anything that looks like it got hot or is corroded. I will have my wife ship my manuals to me here in Maryland so I can start taking apart the harnesses and see what trouble I can get into.

    Smelling Lights

    So far no luck. Today I pulled the dash and look all around. Cleaned and reapplied the grounds, turned headlights on and wiggled wires, swore a few times, wiggled some more and still no dash or door switch lights. No pinched wires either and all fuses are good. The headlights, tail lights and...

    Smelling Lights

    The only incident prior to the dash removal was 3 years ago in Florida in a rain storm. All of the dome lights and courtesy came on along with 4X4 indicator light. I unhooked the battery over night and it has been fine ever since. Three years later I remove the dash for the heater core and now...

    Smelling Lights

    Good morning, I just got my 98 Expedition running after a heater core replacement. Runs great until night time. At first there are no dash lights or lights on the door switches. Eventually the lights come on dim but after about 5 minutes there is a smell like wiring insulation getting hot...

    Heater Core Issues

    If you put the "T" up by the heater core you should still get coolant to the rear heater core and have a little heat in the vehicle. The dash removal isn't too bad if you follow a diagram for the fasteners. I replaced my front heater core in 6 hours. I had 2 major problems.... 1) I broke...

    Car won't started after HC fix

    Never mind!! After reading the posts above I tore the old girl apart again. "somehow" a connector by the automatic light control thing didn't get plugged back in during re-assembly the first time around. It has been many months, but she fired right up!! Great forum here, very helpful!

    Your vehicle, as it sits now, post pics

    My 1998 that I use to pull our small racing trailer. Hasn't started since the heater core was replaced but hope to fix that soon.

    Car won't started after HC fix

    Thanks for the suggestions on this thread. My 98 is doing the same thing after I replaced the heater core. Spins over good, good fuel pressure, all lights come on except theft warning, still wont fire. I will follow some of the suggestions and see if I cant get mine running again.
