    cracked spark plug...TWICE????

    I normally do my own work...but in all honesty I didn't want to do this job. I'm hoping these guys I had fix it didnt rush and took care of it...... guess I'll have to get motivated if it happens again and do it myself. Or say it's time to sell/trade.

    cracked spark plug...TWICE????

    I of course was being sarcastic about number 4 being eaay to get to. I am definitely no expert mechanic. .....but couldn't think of any reason for it to crack/break other than over torque or something. ......dumb question in general I guess........just figured id see if this was common or had...

    cylinder 4 misfire mystery/possibilities

    I dont see any coolant leaks. The wires look new..when I checked the connection with the wire at the coil it had dielectric grease. There's a minor exhaust leak but I was thinking that would throw a lean code. Just a little confused why it would clear up a little while then start back

    cylinder 4 misfire mystery/possibilities

    Hello.....hoping to get some input. I bought a 98 expedition the other day.. has some miles on it but is clean and ran like a champ, 4x4 worked great and so on. On the way home it started skipping/missing. Just before getting home the check engine light comes on and the scanner shows a...

    Newbe looking for stereo help (and running board lights)

    Took the rear right interior panel loose.....looks like the amp is plugged in.....no clue what to check next. Was going to see if possibility the speakers were unhooked at the speaker but not sure the easier way to access them.

    Newbe looking for stereo help (and running board lights)

    I replaced the bulbs assuming they were just old.....only found one fuse and I don't recall how it was listed in the owners manual/diagram. As far as the stereo. ...the speaker wires ran from the aftermarket stereo back to the amp

    All of the factory harness was intact.....figured I was safe to proceed with the exchange. I think I forgot toadd my running board light question.....they don't work. Bulbs replaced and fuse tests good, didn't know what I might be missing. I'll check into the dvd.....thanks for the lead!
