    Intermittent rough idle

    Same problem here. 6 months ago I had everything on top and front changed at nearly $5k. Now the engine is basically toast and I've had it. Junking it.

    Final outcome. Motor I trash. I'm giving it back to the finance company. I've had fords since my first, a 71 pinto in 1978. I've always had a Ford among my vehicles. Sometimes 3. This 1 engine has ended the fords for me. They obviously don't care about people or they'd recalled thse POS's...

    Engine seized

    Trust me. After repair it'll still be worth half the cost of a new engine. Just went thru this

    The mechanic I had it at, I have found out everyone left recently and I believe they are closing up. They read the codes is all. Said I need a new engine. I'm just giving it back to the finance company. Not worth putting a single dollar into it. Funny though it ran just fine. It did the same...

    I'd have to look at the invoice to see if they replaced the solenoids. I bet not. Definitely did not replace the oil pump. I didn't think to look at the oil pressure gauge. I know it's not acurate but if it's dropping, it probably would show the dip. I called my mechanic (not the one that did...

    2011 5.4 3 valve POS. Sometimes stalls at idle. Tap the throttle and it's OK. Othertimes it's OK. No problem with mileage. No problems at speed. Oil level OK. History. Recent replaced, chains, guides, phasers, Cams, followers. 2 days ago, driving an incline at 80 mph a heavy clunk. Not so...

    New Information adding Wireless Phone Charging 3rd gen expedition

    I designed and 3d printed an ABS cell phone holder that uses a 100mm Dia. Samsung wireslss Charger. It mounts above the dash air outlet and doesn't interfere with anything. About half the phone sticks up above the dash, and the camera is still usable like that. Just have to add a piece of velcro...

    2016 3rd Row Seat Clicking

    Dang. Beat me. Was gonna say it's the rear HVAC. Very very common. Even my 2 GM Trailblazers do this!

    Power Liftgate will not close with buttons

    BINGO. Up limit switch has not been made or the down limit is stuck.

    problem with roller follower removal

    The reason the rest will fail soon, mainly is because those oil holes in the followers gets so large oil does not properly spray on the roller on the follower. If the hole enlarged for some other reason, then no, others aren't going to fail in the same amount of of time. Best procedure would be...

    Advice needed SYNC, what to look for on 2014 Expedition Limited

    If it's the V8 5.4-3 valves per cylinder, no matter the previous service, never ever get it. Run far far away. I believe that's the only engine choice for that. The V6 came out in 2015. From now until 200k it will need engine top and front end replacement. $4k for a shop to do it. (cams...

    2012 Ford Expedition does not crank (not the battery)

    Still sounds like starter/solenoid going out.

    Random Misfire Detected

    Something got plugged in the exhaust and then it blew out, blowing out material because of the high pressure that was built up under your hard acceleration. I've seen exactly this in my Ford 460 and at 80 k miles. Everything was fine and just as I started climbing a grade and accelerating, boom...

    P0307 #7 misfire

    Since no answers yet, I will just throw out it possibly being the injector harness. Also check compression. Really seems time to think out of the box. One thing also sticks in the back of my mind is very, very unlikely, coil 7 bad again? What would be the coincidence? I've had a brand new coil...

    Water pump?

    You're not up to the miles yet. The 3 valve is terrible. It's well known of its problems. Oil tunnels in the head are too small. Rocker oil holes wear out. Mine did make it to 215k but then the whole top and front end needed replaced. And that's with always synthetic oil changed every 5k. My 2...
