    Powerstop brake kit K1869

    I'm doing a search & scrolling threads but if anyone can give a quick skinny on these... My thanks in advance... Main question is 1869 or 1869-36 because of the gross weight... It's a daily driver & the 36 with metallic pads has me wondering if there's a huge difference?... I could do with a...

    97 expedition shakes when pressing gas

    I'll "check" my previous suggestion to wait on the "sparks"... A plugged cat "could" be the source of all of your problems?... (BUT) I really don't know for sure... Maybe I'd run it to an exaust shop first I suppose? (unless you can weld pipe)... Cut it all out with a sawsall in that case...

    97 expedition shakes when pressing gas

    +1 on the cat I agree. Almost said that after the "?" -- but didn't want to offend -- as a close 2nd to that could have been the stars in her eyes (she saw) as he drove away... LOL... (okay, foul?, -- but maybe not? -- so what.) Hey, I'll tell you my wife sees things all the time that...

    97 expedition shakes when pressing gas

    And the CEL is not on? shake: check gas: check sparks: ? I'd worry about the sparks last... Sounds like you need to give it a good going through under the hood: cops / plugs / MAF / TB / filters etc... Got a code reader? -- if not, that's your first purchase. Good luck.

    starter engages when off

    Leaking windshield. (comes to mind first) -- does it act up after it rains? get that sealed & allow the GEM module to dry out. I've had everything from stereo, to headlights, to starter / wipers / HVAC issues because of a leaking windshield. -- They didn't go bad, they do their own...

    What's the best cops to buy??

    (Just talking jiberish outloud here) You're wiping that P0304 code out, right? Did you swap 1 & 4 injector? Your wires @ the injector aren't crossed up are they - I don't think they're long enough to cross 3 & 4 but who knows & I assume that would give you 303 and 304 codes?

    What's the best cops to buy??

    hey... CEL isn't needed to detect misfire... Clear everything out & run the "misfire" part of the "ford drive cycle"... It's all over google & I'm pretty sure it's been discussed in here somewhere... It's 1 single cut sheet, printable so you can run them all if you want... (Evap will take you...

    What's the best cops to buy??

    They're all good... You'll hear various replies from various folks about various things and why they're the best various coils... (hogwash) Just buy what you can... You can get 8x @ sub 100.00 off ebay... They work great!... some will say not to buy... others will say accel (or =) & others...

    Up date to the skipping

    (yes, what k5 says... Sorry k5, I didn't see you there...) -------- #4 & 8's are a pain that's for sure... (if your codes are in those holes) My experience tells me that even a 'known' working coil will trip a code... I played grabass with one (or more) for days before getting them all...

    Blend door issue?

    All the way out I'd think... (that's the bad news) -- But the good news could be that it really doesn't sound like a blend door issue (imo)... Maybe a thermostat ? I just had my dash pulled for a heater core / blend door actuator (motor) replacement & to me, it would seem quite odd for the...

    burning electrical smell -- now headlights come on @ eng. start.

    Hmm... back to normal now... ?? Guess I'll just have to keep an eye on it. (or a nose) I assume it's the GEM, & all I can figure is that since the heater core and sealant around the windshield... It's finally dried out (or close to it). Maybe it's just going though the process of expelling...

    burning electrical smell -- now headlights come on @ eng. start.

    recently had the heater core replaced, (had a leaky windshield too) so when the dash / trim was pulled out, I put 1 tube of black silcon around the inside of windshield and one tube around the outside.. Seemed to work... There were several rainy periods & it wasn't acting up after rain. I...

    Any resolution on this? Same issue as OP... troubleshoot checks as his were... My current issue at hand is that my rear climate controls in the back seat (overhead) do not work... No blower, - Checked fuse, (fuse not installed) swaped power seat 30 into that socket & still no go... Can...

    Spark Knock

    I'll just toss this out for now... I'm beating a dead horse into dust but try a full bottle of seafoam through the brake booster hose... Then stick another bottle in it & let it sit for about 45 mins... :beatdeadhorse5: Did you build the motor from the ground up?.. or was it sitting around...

    Spark Knock

    ahh, thanks toms.. That makes sense I guess... Hot pre-fire on a wrong plug? Gap maybe? -- just weird he had it running fine for a couple days... very well could be plugs? But wouldn't a prefire "be" a misfire in terms of timing? -- which the computer would pick up and post a code?... He...
