    2007 EL with high miles, experiencing possible cam phaser issue. lack of power

    I replaced the plugs and coils last year. Had the fuel pump replaced last year. Come to think of it, I believe they replaced the filter at that time. No CEL. Not sure what you are referring to EGR passages.

    2007 EL with high miles, experiencing possible cam phaser issue. lack of power

    Hi guys. I have a little bit of a situation with my 07 EL and I am not sure which direction to go with it. It has 198,000 miles on it and having a couple issues. 1 being that when the car sits for a few hours or over night at start up you hear a loud clatter/knocking sound. This sound is...

    IAT reading hot

    Thanks for your help. I went to update my information and saw that my Model was updated but the year was 2004. I used to have a 2004 and sold it to buy the EL. I drove it for an hour this afternoon on expressway. After 40 minutes of driving, the IAT was reading at 70 degrees. I would say...

    IAT reading hot

    Just curious about what the iat readings should show against actual outdoor temp. It is 65 degrees out and my scanner is showing crazy iat temps. It started out at 110 but now showing 122 after 10 minutes of idle.

    5.4L 3v Camshaft Phaser Knock Noise Fix

    My 2007 is making the initial clatter at startup. It is also making a slight clatter at idle but to me it sounds like exhaust like. If I were to fix this on my own, what kit do I buy? I am seeing...

    Coyote 5.0 Engine Swap

    I would like to know more about this swap as well. If its even possible. It will obviously fit but as far as wiring, that is whole other story. Too bad it wasnt a plug and play setup.

    Low engine temperature

    I will check the hose tomorrow morning. One thing I did notice was that when i took off from a dead stop, at WOT to around 75 mph, I watched the temp on my Actron go from 140 degrees to around 175 degrees. After letting off the gas and allowing car to slow down on its own, the temp on...

    Low engine temperature

    Are you referring to checking the wiring to the cylinder head sensor? I see this is under the intake. Would almost have to remove intake to check connection.

    Low engine temperature

    I have been dealing with a rather low engine temperature on my 2007 for some time now. It sits around 1/4 when warm and sometimes fluctuates. So tonight I decided to replace the thermostat. Thought this would fix my problem but it didn't. So now this brings me to my next possible issue...

    Broken spark plug; Lisle tool will not remove plug

    I am sorry but I dont quite follow. When I run the tool to push the porceleim further in, the top portion threads in easily and bottoms out. I take it out and put in the round aluminum piece. I put in the threaded tool and turn counter clockwise. It just spins.. It doesnt grab- doesnt do...

    Broken spark plug; Lisle tool will not remove plug

    I was changing the plugs on my 07 Expedition today and while doing the passenger side, I managed to have a broken plug that the Lisle tool does not want to remove. I broke two other plugs and the tool was successful at removing them. I have changed plugs in an 06 Explorer with the tool and was...

    Adding heated and cooled seats to my Eddie Bauer

    I recently purchased a 2007 EL E.B. and to my surprise does not have heated or cooled seats. I thought to myself, there's gotta be at least heated seats in this thing!! But no.. there isn't. Heck, my 2004 EB has heated and cooled seats. Anyway, so my thoughts were to add heated and cooled...

    New Expedition with #1 cylinder misfire code

    Received the coil. Pulled the old one out and all this sand dumped out of ignition coil. Plug valley was also full of sand. Put new coil in and no check engine light. Engine more responsive and I can definitely feel more torque just tapping on gas. However... I drove it and anything past...

    I ordered an lesser expensive coil on rockauto.com. We shall see if this corrects the problem.

    New Expedition with #1 cylinder misfire code

    I just picked up the car today. I knew about the CE light so it wasn't a surprise that it was a misfire code. I have no idea about when or if the plugs or coils have ever been changed. A year ago, I changed the plugs in my 06 Explorer. All but one plug had broke! It was a good thing I had...

    New Expedition with #1 cylinder misfire code

    Hey guys. Just picked up a 2007 EL with just under 160k. I noticed it stumbling at WOT. CE came on and checked for codes and got a #1 cylinder misfire code. So I guess at this point I should at least replace that coil. Do you guys think I should just replace all coils or just replace the...

    Loud rumbling sound felt in console area when 4 wheel engaged

    If you remove the driveshaft and drive in 4wd and noise goes away, couldn't the noise be coming from the u-joint in driveshaft? I guess the u-joint would probably not make a loud roaring sound though.

    Loud rumbling sound felt in console area when 4 wheel engaged

    To be completely honest, I have no idea how long it has been doing this. I know last winter it was very quiet. I have not driven the vehicle much and when I do I leave it in A4WD. We are in Michigan and the roads have been cruddy for the past month. My wife has been driving it in 4 wheel on...
