    Just changed my fuel filter 98 eb

    What a p.i.t.a. But finally got it done. Stupid oem tool from autozone doesn't work good at all. Surely there's a better disconnect tool out there. I finally got the forward side off, then tried the rear and couldn't get it. So i chopped the canister off leaving just the stem in the line...

    Buying a former rental car

    i too would stay away from rentals for the same reasons they are not taken care of and people beat them up, don't warm them up and the 35k rental miles might as well be 100k miles the way those are driven

    99 expedition will not start

    check that stupid line that goes from the pcv valve to the rear of the throttle body. sometimes it blows off from the pressure of the air vacuum. it did that to me and would not start because of it. its on the left side

    More problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    thats what i was thinking as well, but when i checked for codes, the only ones i got were 136 and 155 for o2 sensors. but they been there for atleast 2 years. if it is a cop how would i know which one without a code?

    More problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ok after doing some quick research i found that bad o2 sensors can cause this stumbling. Funny 'cause 2 of my o2 sensors have been bad for years and i've never changed them. This is the first time it has done this. I will get on top (or should i say under) this and keep you guys posted.

    Doofy suspension, how do i fix this

    Ok, so i was driving my 98 eb the other day (haven't taken her out in a while) and while on the highway noticed that she feels really doofy and akward. Taking a right turn and she wants to go left. Handling sucks, just felt very unsafe. Makes me wanna get rid of her and get something newer...
