    Busted Compressor

    I know what you mean! It really wasn't that bad but I'm a shade tree mechanic and been fixing it for years, well since it was like 5 years old... Can you say rust? LOL I think I got it done for like 300.00. Have fun in Fl and try not to cook in the truck!

    chasing a p0171 P0174 trouble code

    Mine ended up being nothing malfunctioning, just a clogged port in the throttle body. Yes I replaced a bunch of stuff first! Then I talked to a ford mechanic.....Youtube it. They clog with carbon. Mine was so bad I couldn't find it until I scrubbed the body and found a black spot about the size...

    Busted Compressor

    My 97 comp clutch rusted out, like everything else. Comp was a PITA to get to, but doable. Replaced the rear AC valve (If you have rear A/C, the inline filters, and O rings. They all came with the kit. My buddy is a mechanic for fleet vehicles for the government. All they do is flush out all the...

    Door Ajar

    Dome light stays on I had the same problem and traced it to the rear hatch window sensor. I used electronic contact lubricant cleaner from radio shack and then silicone spray on all the sensors. Open and closed the window about 10 times and it worked. Been about 6 months, so far so good.

    EGR Flow Insufficient

    Clogged Throttle Body It’s a common problem. My 97 Expedition with about 115K at the time was popping off codes and I got all the info to replace everything. I read about the Throttle body passages being clogged so I removed it and sure enough after I cleaned it, I saw where passages were...

    Service Codes Rough Running/Idling

    PCV Hose I had the same problem. Ford didn't have the 40.00 part so I removed the part and most of it is hard plastic pipe that looked brand new with insulation around it, so I just replaced the rubber ends that were dry rotted and leaking with fuel line hose for about 3 bucks from the auto store!

    Should i tackle exhaust manifold

    R&R the right Exhaust Manifold My legal disclaimer: I don’t not recommend anyone doing this, this is just what I did….;-) A nut splitter won't work, you cant get it in the tight space. OK, this job is a ***** on an older vehicle; I just did it to the passenger side (97 Expedition 120K)...
