2001 Ford Expedition XLT 4.6
I purchased this vehicle directly from an owner in a tight pinch. I could tell that this vehicle had very little TLC and that the owner just wanted to do away with it due to unable to pass emissions. The just let this vehicle piss on itself. As of today, almost all codes are cleared. Here's the list.
- Windshield fluid major leak due to the hose being disconnected behind the passenger side kick panel.
- Major lean condition on both banks. The cause was a worn intake manifold gasket and multiple vacuum leaks in the engine bay. LTFT now -sits at 10% on bank 1, and 7% on bank 2. I want to get it lowered a little more. Much better nonetheless.
- Replaced an o2 sensor due to it being faulty. (P1131) Haven't seen this code ever since changing the sensor.
- EGR insufficient flow code due to major carbon build up in the throttle body passage ports (2).
- Replaced battery.
- Replaced Alternator.
- Major misfire (blinking engine light) due to fluid (maybe spilled oil) in cylinder 1 and 2, and a bad COP.
- Replaced the infamous PCV valve and hose that routes to the back of the intake.
- Replaced oil pan gasket.
- Replaced oil filter adapter gasket. This was the biggest challenge of all of them. The space was extremely tight to work in.
All that is left now is fixing the inoperable wiper for the back, replacing catalytic converters, fixing the lock mechanism, fixing the overhead console display (compass and temp), and repairing some aesthetics.
