    Got a couple projects done...

    Been busy, so I've been lurking on here lately, haven't had anything new to add until today :-) Finally got my Gott's mod done, and installed new spark plugs today. The Gott's mod went pretty well, took me about 30 minutes or so. I tried a time saving method for shaping the PVC, and it...

    Gas Milage....

    I have one just like yours, 2003 XLT with the 4.6. Mine is 4x4, and I have 78,000 on it. I get anywhere from 13-16 mixed urban/highway driving. I have not made any mods to mine.

    Fuel Pressure q's

    Ok, finally got my pump pressure tested. Turned out the adapter on the gauge that I was using didn't fit right, got that switched and hey presto, the gauge worked. So, what we found was that the key on really didn't even register anything on the gauge, which is a little suspect, (just...

    Fuel Pressure q's

    Ok, will do. Thanks for all the help guys, I gotta run now and get kids to their stuff in a bit. Never a dull moment!

    Fuel Pressure q's

    I've checked the fittings. The gauge I have is set up with the large threaded end on the hose, and then an adapter to go on the smaller (schrader) fitting. I have done several combinations of things, including screwing on just the small fitting onto the valve on the rail, and depressing the...

    When you say it may need the schrader valve removed, what do you mean? On the gauge itself or are you talking on the fuel rail?

    What else can I check? It's obviously getting fuel, because it starts, runs, and drives, WOT and everything. It does have a slightly rough idle, which is what started me on checking this, since poor fuel pressure can produce a rough idle.

    No, no clatter. And I just went out and started it with the key on while the gauge was on, and still no pressure. Maybe the little valve has some debris in it? I really don't think that could happen, not enough to block it completely anyway...

    Just key on. Guess I could check it running too, huh? Just kinda got sidetracked by the initial findings :-)

    Fuel Pressure q's

    Hmm, I'll have to take a look at the lines coming from the tank. Mine does start hard, but only cranks for 3-5 seconds if I go from cold. Been cycling the key to build the pressure so it doesn't have to crank so hard. I just don't understand why when the key is on there's nothing more than a...

    And one more thing: My expy runs. This is not a no-start issue.

    Fuel Pressure q's

    So based on some earlier questions I had, I went ahead and borrowed a fuel pressure gauge to check my pressures. Finally got time to start in on it, found the fitting on the rail, pulled the little cap off, hooked up the gauge and started testing. Well, the gauge registered no pressure when I...

    Snow in CO

    Springs is higher than Denver. They certainly can get snow, but it really has its own weather system compared with the surrounding areas.

    Engine Whining after start up

    Fan clutch maybe? Can you locate the sound in the engine compartment when its running?

    Snow in CO

    Since we've lived here, I'm always amazed at how the Springs seem to escape big snowfall. Seems like there's always a weather hole there. Makes it nice, though. Personally I think the weather in the Springs (and out here where I live, more or less) is about perfect.
