    2003 Expedition Eddie Bauer if it doesn't start up all the way, it won't start again for 15+ minutes.

    Sorry, busy work week. Around 268,000 miles. I believe its the original fuel pump. I may have a pressure tester. Ok, some new piece of data. When it happened again a couple days ago, when it didn't start I did NOT hear the fuel pump buzzing. When i turned the key off and back on I did hear...

    2003 Expedition Eddie Bauer if it doesn't start up all the way, it won't start again for 15+ minutes.

    OK, so if the thig starts up, it starts up. Sometimes, it starts a little rough and if I let go of the key "too fast" and it hasn't actually fired up, it slowly dies and then won't start back up again for at least 15 minutes, sometimes longer. Maybe a year or so ago I had an issue starting...

    Coolant reservoir empty after road trip. Can't find any active leak but see coolant inside some plastic hose covers etc?

    OK, so after removing the cover over the radiator I could not see any leaks but did see a white residue on a lot of areas. I went and borrowed a coolant pressure tester from Autozone, which was a pain because it didn't work on the resoirvoir, as it was made for radiators, it had some "universal...

    Coolant reservoir empty after road trip. Can't find any active leak but see coolant inside some plastic hose covers etc?

    This is really frustrating. 2003 Expedition. Noticed coolant reservoir a couple times , fill and it seems ok for a while. After a recent roadtrip noticed the coolant reservoir was nearly empty. I also noticed white residue sprayed over everything, almost like the fan was spraying coolant...

    Evacuate A/C with compressor based vacuum pump or buy vacuum pump?

    I have a vacuum pump from Harbor Freight that I bought years ago to evacuate a honda civic A/C that worked ok with my compressor (think its 5HP 30 gallon). But now need to evacuate a 2003 Eddie Bauer edition with front and rear A/C and was wondering if I need a dedicated vacuum pump for this...

    Coolant getting low but no visible leaks that I can see. Is there a usual suspect hose or something?

    2003 Eddie Bauer edition. This started recently where I checked all the levels before a trip. Noticed the coolant was low, topped off the reservoir, did road trip, like 600 miles and before I left to go back home checked levels and the reservoir was low again. Still some in there but well...

    Is this the fuel pump fuse box issue?

    OK, so update, ordered the 2 relays that I linked. When they arrived I took my fuse box out and took it apart. When i had the board out, I smelled it, it smelled ok. I looked at it and visually it looked ok. But, i decided as I had the new relays and I already had it that far apart to just...

    Is this the fuel pump fuse box issue?

    Awesome thank you! I found some relays on Amazon for $11, just need to see how fast they can get here https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B7494SG7/. I used to solder all day for work installing car audio and security systems so the soldering won't be hard. I just didn't want to start...

    OK so today, I vaccuumed out my AC and refilled with about 54 oz of freon(2003 Eddie Bauer that has rear AC) AC is working much better. Last week I replaced teh rear blend valve and mode solenoid due to the rear blowing hot air on a previous drive. However, after turning off the motor today I...

    Fuel tank for a 2003 Expedition

    I had the same thing happen to mine before I got it (got it from my sister in law who was the original owner), her mechanic had to fix it with fiberglass and epoxy because he couldn't find a replacement. Luckily the cracks were at the top where the hoses connect so even before it was repaired...

    03 Eddie Bauer all kinds of A/C issues lately

    Thanks for the help so far. Interesting to know about that tool though it boggles my mind how it can work and not lose freon lol! I did try tightening it with a tool I have for valve stems. One thing I was having trouble with when I looked a year or so ago was what size these things take. If...

    03 Eddie Bauer all kinds of A/C issues lately

    Hello all, A while back I was having an issue where the front A/C was working intermittently. It would come on cool for a few minutes, then kind of go away, and come back on etc. Someone here mentioned it is most likely a vaccuum leak, so I found one under the hood(think it was a hose that...

    03 Eddie Bauer intermittently blows AC out of front, fan still running

    Hey thanks for the tips all. I never realized the pattern, but it is tied to the accelerator and letting off the accelerator. The reason I never associated it before was that there was a 4 or 5 second delay each direction. And driving in SoCal you can rarely be on your accelerator for more...
