    anything wrong with this sound under the hood?

    thanks @JamaicaJoe. During reassemble, I lost one bolt to the throttle body on top of the manifold (fallen to somewhere on the back of the engine). So I just put 3 bolts on. I was going to either buy new or try to get a bolt from a junk yard later. Could that be related? I have not touched the...

    battery drained in 3 days

    Today I tested with a multimeter following this excellent video: I saw that my passive draw was 220 mA. I have not figured out which component is the cause of this yet. For now, I'm disconnecting the negative battery connector every time I park it.

    battery drained in 3 days

    After parking the car for 8 hours, the battery was gone again. Looks like I'll have to try a new battery.

    anything wrong with this sound under the hood?

    I've had a roller follower seizing on its core and damaged my camshaft eventually that cost $5400 to fix. Before that thing blew, I always heard the lifter tick like noise. https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/car-started-shaking-violently-when-turned-on-this-morning.42302/ Now that that was...

    battery drained in 3 days

    The battery is about a year old. So I was thinking it should still be good.

    battery drained in 3 days

    I recently replaced the IMRC, at the same time replaced spark plugs, serpentine belt and cylinder head temp sensor: https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/2007-ford-expedition-intake-manifold-runner-control-stuck.45688/ Drove it for 80 miles each day on 2 consecutive days with no problem. Then...

    not able to push fuel rail onto fuel injectors

    I'm having a hard time to push the fuel rail onto the fuel injectors with the o-rings. I tried to use a rubber mallet to hammer on top of the fuel rail to no avail. Tomorrow I'm going to try spray some WD40 on the o-rings and then hammer it with the mallet. Is there a better way to push the...

    2007 Ford expedition spark plugs: should I replace some or all of them?

    My car went through this: https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/car-started-shaking-violently-when-turned-on-this-morning.42302/ I ended up paying $5400 for that fix (camshaft, roller, valves, etc) After that, I drove it a few times and only noticed a bit of rough idling when I start the car...

    2007 ford expedition: intake manifold runner control stuck

    never mind, my bad. I just switched the arms to match left with L and right with R and everything looks good.

    2007 ford expedition: intake manifold runner control stuck

    I'm back to work on this thing again. Finally took out the intake manifold! Took out the old IMRC valve, then went to install the new one. On the part it actually says that "DO NOT ROTATE BY HAND". As you can see from the picture showing both the new and the old, without me manually rotating it...

    2007 ford expedition: intake manifold runner control stuck

    Progressing some more now. Got a few questions that I hope to get some help on: 1. Unscrewed most of the bolts of the fuel rail and took out 5 ignition coils. Then I wondered if I needed to keep the order of these coils. If I switch one with another, would that be a problem? 2. In order to...
