Farewell To My Expedition
My 2001 4.6 began knocking a while back, and I just diagnosed it as play in the piston on cylinder 8. I brought the piston to TDC, let off a bit and pushed down into the spark plug hole with an extension and I felt the infamous "knock" play and verified it about 4 more times. I'm sure that this...- Ulver

Crankshaft Pulley Gap
Hello all, I had a basic question about reinstalling a crankshaft pulley on my 2001 Ford expedition XLT 4.6. I went to install a crankshaft pulley after this timing job and at a certain point I could not go any further as the torque for the install tool got tougher and tougher. I've attached a...- Ulver

Uh oh.. :-( 2001 Expy 4.6 Transmission Failure
This morning I was driving to work, going about 30 mph when I hit a bump and suddenly the tachometer launched to about 4000 RPMs. I knew something was wrong. Ever since that happened, I have not been able to drive in 3rd gear (past about 40 mph) I believe. When I go to switch to drive or...- Ulver

Multi Issue - Car Dies On Slope/Gas Gauge/EVAP
So last night I was sitting in my 01 Expy on a fairly declined slope (facing downward) when suddenly my car died after a few minutes. I took out my OBD reader and saw that there was a new small EVAP leak code. So I checked the gas cap, and notice that the cap was fairly loose. So I thought "okay...- Ulver

Initial Surging/Jerking on Cold Startup 2001 4.6 Expy
So, it's been about a half year since I've had this vehicle, and much work and improvement has been made to my 01 Expy. The fuel trims are decent; around +5 to +7% LTFT on both banks. No codes. However, there's this one issue that I still have.. My vehicle jerks on acceleration (from 0 mph)...- Ulver

Alternator
2001 Ford Expedition owner here. I've noticed that sometimes when stopped in idle, with my A/C on, the RPM gauge fluctuates along with the power/lights for everything else in the system. Note that this doesn't always happen when my A/C is on. Very much so an intermittent issue. I hooked my DMM...- Ulver

Oil Leak - Drain Plug
Subject says it all. I have a couple of oil leaks, one namely coming from the oil plug. It's a very slow drip, but I still want to take care of it. The bad part about it all is that I just replaced the oil pan gasket, and that was a job. I've heard of the over-sized drain plugs that you can use...- Ulver
