    2001 Expy 5.4

    Not a problem. They installed an airtex unfortunately. I've heard they aren't the best pump for our trucks but so far so good. Though I do have to say I have installed airtex pumps in a 96 tbird 91 Camry and some other cars but never had any issues.

    2001 Expy 5.4

    So turns out the pump was bad for sure. also there was no clamp on breather hoses and it was sucking in extra air. The truck runs way better now. Still a slight rough idle (though i hear its normal for 5.4 to have a rough idle) but otherwise its back to awesome. thanks again for everyone...

    2001 Expy 5.4

    Do you remember how much the tank weighed when you dropped it? Was it difficult to get back into place? Any tips or suggestions for when I drop the tank?

    2001 Expy 5.4

    There is on the passenger side of the engine. I have the 5.4 not sure if that makes much difference but there is one. when i check the pressure at the rail the gauge rises slowly to 30psi with engine running. If i take a pressure reading with the key on engine off i have to cycle the key at...

    2001 Expy 5.4

    Anyone know what the fuel pressure should be? Mine is between 30 and 40 psi. I have checked it several times. Sometimes the needle spiked up to 30 with just key on engine off but sometimes very slow movement. Same with when it's running. It only reached 40 psi once. Mostly was between 30 to 35...

    2001 Expy 5.4

    I had very recently ran my Expy out of gas (I know very bad). I put gas in it but it wouldn't start afterwards. I towed it home and it sat over night. I tried to start it the next morning and it fired up right away. Now my problem is that the engine engine idles erratically it idles up to...

    Engine Problems

    Thanks to all who answered and offered help. I replaced the manifold with one from a Ford E250 with lower mileage and the Expy is back to normal and ready to roll. Runs great now. Thanks again

    Engine Problems

    Thank you for you reply and the link to your manifold problem. mine is cracked in same areas. Guess its time for a new manifold. I dont want to go used with it since i want it to work right.

    Engine Problems

    I should have just replaced the manifold to begin with. I have new plugs, new springs and boots on all the coils, and all the other above stuff i replaced. I took my coolant crossover off and sure enough it was cracked on the plastic manifold. I love this Expy cuz of its towing power but i...

    Engine Problems

    Does the coolant crossover leak internally or externally? i do not see any leaks anywhere around the intake manifold or coolant cross over. just only see coolant on the boots for the spark plugs. I also do have water coming out from the exhaust during idle but i believe thats normal condensation.

    Engine Problems

    I was also told something about the intake manifold and the coolant crossover could cause similar problems as well. whats your opinion on this?
