    1998 5.4 engine problem — STUMPED

    Quick update. I got a nicer obd2 scan tool which showed a bad cop on cylinder 1. Put a new one on and the engine runs much smoother. Still noticing a few odd things. After sitting overnight the fuel pressure slowly rises to 30 after cranking and running. Like a minute. When I smash...

    1998 5.4 engine problem — STUMPED

    Ok have made some progress. Grabbed a fuel pressure tester and hooked to schrader valve. No pressure. Maybe a pound. I looked underneath and remember when I last changed the fuel filter I broke a quick connect tab to the filter. I chopped the lines and used barb fittings. Well one of the patch...

    Background. Engine replaced and has about 15k miles on it. Ran awesome for a few years and then I started noticing some lower power at load and high throttle. Missing and sounds like misfires in engine. It got worse and worse to the point of not being able to go up a simple hill. No vacuum...

    Warm HEAT - Weird plenum issue

    Well a $2 fix gave me hot heat. I tool a threaded rod and closed the fresh air door. I will remove in the spring. I now have 135 out the vents at 20deg. Before I closed the door I was getting about 110 but this did the trick. Hope it helps someone

    Warm HEAT - Weird plenum issue

    Thanks for the temp reading. I did get the 195 thermostat. I may permanently close the fresh air door behind glovebox to increase heat. Someone posted similar issues with cold air in that area and also did that. Will keep you posted. Thanks

    Thanks for the help. When I replaced the ac lines I left the high pressure cutoff switch off the new piping. Hooked it back in and reconnected the dongle and all is good. Always something small. Thx

    99 pi swapped into 98 non-pi

    Thx. Just messaged swagga. I am confused what the top sensor is then that is doubled to the hose. I would think that would be the temp sensor.
