Its fairly simple. there 3 bolts that hold the TB cover on and i believe 4 bolts on the intake elbow. Its easy to drop the bolts down under the intake manifold so be careful!
Use some carb cleaner to loosen the carbon and a screwdriver may be needed to loosen the carbon in the egr passages...
OBD-II Trouble Code: P0401 Insufficient EGR Flow
You should start off by taking off the throttle body elbow and cleaning it making sure to pay attention to the egr passages. This is a known problem with carbon clogging up those passages.
Work from the bottom up on the causes list in the link!
+1! These tritons arent known for NA power! Ill put it this way, its not an LS! The weak link is the connecting rods!
Best advice i can give you is to pick Toms brain!
Dropped off mine at the shop to get coils changed and a/c compressor replaced. They managed to get my coils covered under warranty because a new guy messed up! :smile: They wouldnt cover the plugs so ill have to save up some money and do it myself!
When the engine is not running you dont have oil pressure. The start-up noises are usually cause by a filter that doesnt have an anti drain back valve to keep the oil in the engine from draining back into the oil pan. Could also be a cheap filter with a cheap anti drain.
The noise will not go away! It only gets worse with age and mileage! Going back to 5w20 will only make the noise louder and more annoying! Use Motorcraft filter and oil or a high quality synth like mobile 1 etc... and DO NOT use a cheap filter! Use Motorcraft or anther brand with synth filter...
