    2000 expedition Rear glass will not latch

    By 'link', do you mean the thin braided wire cable going between the handle and the lock?

    2000 expedition Rear glass will not latch

    On mine, the cylinders for both are attached to the moving part - the glass and hatch. No definite reason for doing it that way other than that's how they were when I last changed them.

    Where to start, and what to keep eyes out for?

    Other than the already obvious problems, I would look skeptically at every hose in the vehicle, especially the smaller, thinner vacuum lines like those underneath the throttle body cover. That is a HUGE project and I'd love to see updates of your progress.

    P0171/P0174

    The most likely suspects have already been named but I once had the above two symptoms on my wife's F150 and it turned out that a rodent had chewed a hole in the vent hose above the tank. It was easy to get this picture of the top of the F150's tank but I can't find a place to take one of the...

    Power Distribution Relay Box?

    From what I've read in this thread and elsewhere, Ford did not produce documentation for any of the 1997 mini fuse boxes.

    Engine Studder, No Codes

    This may not be relevant to your 7-minute problem but... I had a P0304 in 2018, fixed it with a new, aftermarket COP. But soon after another coil on the same bank failed and eventually all 4 on bank 1 went bad and were replaced. Then the fails started repeating on the new COPs. Cutting to the...

    FORSCAN on Gen1

    I can answer only a small part of your questions but this Mode $06 data is a test of the EGR hoses.

    Cleaning throttle body to EGR valve passageway

    The picture of the intake was before cleaning it a few years ago. Hadn't gone beyond that though which is why the surprise at how relatively clean the other parts looked. All I ended up doing was spray cleaning the EGR and reinstalling it. And losing a 10mm socket.

    Cleaning throttle body to EGR valve passageway

    Is this the bolt that broke? Your situation is the worst, inspecting what turns out to be a non-problem but breaking something else in the process. How to turn an hour into three days.

    Cleaning throttle body to EGR valve passageway

    Gotta admit, I had to look up what a pintle is, learned it's sometimes paired to a gudgeon. Still not exactly sure so I'm posting multiple pictures. The EGR came off easier than expected, nothing was corroded in place. It also looks way better than expected considering how bad the TB intake...

    Cleaning throttle body to EGR valve passageway

    Haven't done it before but suppose I can inspect one end of it by pulling off the EGR valve. Would have to do that anyway if the whole TB assembly needs cleaning. Pulling out the assembly seems simple enough but I'm always leery of unintended consequences when doing something for the first...

    Cleaning throttle body to EGR valve passageway

    Let me restate the question... I've read a lot in this forum and elsewhere about P0401(Insufficient EGR Flow) in Gen1's. Consensus is the first fix attempted should be to clean the throttle body and its passageway to the EGR valve. Is it worthwhile to clean the passageway now even though...

    Stuck oil filter

    That's a great solution...if you checked that the filter would loosen before draining the oil. I never have but will from now on!

    Cleaning throttle body to EGR valve passageway

    Picture of 5.4 throttle body before cleaning it 22k miles ago. The TB-EGR passageway has never been cleaned and I'm assuming it looks as messy or worse. So, even though there's no codes or other trouble indicated, would you clean it anyway?

    Stuck oil filter

    I got these oil filter pliers years ago after starting to DIY maintenance. Needed them because my 5.4's filter is so awkward to access. Is the 4.6 worse?

    Stuck oil filter

    When I was a kid working at my father's service station, we used a screwdriver too for filters that wouldn't come off but that doesn't work very well with the construction of modern filters. Could you wrap it with duct tape and leave a long tag end to pull on for more rotary force?

    2000 Expedition 5.4 throwing codes for all 4 o2 sensors. Sensors already replaced and still throwing code

    Apparently, the culprit isn't/wasn't the sensors themselves but their power source. Hamfisted pointed out the likely suspect.

    2000 Expedition 5.4 throwing codes for all 4 o2 sensors. Sensors already replaced and still throwing code

    According to the OBD SysOp manual, those faults happening immediately after starting the engine indicate a voltage problem. As it's occurring on all four circuits, maybe there's a common power source to blame.

    2000 Ford expedition Drive Cycle

    One of the criteria for the tests to start is the engine must have been running for more than 5.5 minutes. I don't think it matters whether it was idling or traveling before then.

    2000 Ford expedition Drive Cycle

    Just curious...now that the P0174 is gone, what does the scanner show for Long Term Fuel Trim - Bank 2? The link below is to the OBD SysOp manual for your 2000. Starting on page 11, it describes the criteria required for the EVAP test to be completed...

    Fixed and cleared codes P0174,P0401,and P0406 but........

    If you're still getting P0174, a scan will probably show +25% or more for Long Term Fuel Trim - Bank 2. This can happen even if the problem causing the lean DTC has been fixed because the adaptive fuel strategy requires time to adjust to the new conditions. But, if the problem has indeed been...

    Codes p0174 and p0401

    If you're lucky, that may be all that's needed. After removing the throttle body cover(three 10mm bolts), look for cracked or brittle hoses in the vicinity. Or melted, as can happen if one touches the EGR valve. If the TB looks anywhere as dirty as the one in the picture, I would follow...

    Codes p0174 and p0401

    The info in the printed report is what you'd expect after the battery has been disconnected. Starting from scratch, some of the tests need multiple trips and types of driving before they can be performed.

    A Yellow '99

    One day's accumulation of pine tree pollen. Can't be good for the finish but rinsing it off just makes it stick better so I've been using my ShopVac blower.

    Engine miss fire issue 2000 4.6

    Can you run a scan while it's misfiring? My 1999 5.4 had identical symptoms a few years ago, more than once. The scanner would reveal a P030x code even though the CEL hadn't come on. The x is the cylinder #. New ignition coils were the problem and the solution, no issues since.
