    Ticking /Tapping/Knocking 97 expedition 5.4l 2v

    have you got a CEL? Could be a misfire and you're not running on all 8 cylinders, I'd check fuel pressure to make sure you're system is working correctly, any chance you put the fuel filter on backwards? Is the noise coming from the front cover (timing chain)? Maybe take a video and share it via...

    2001 EB Suspension Q's

    I think the conversion is what most do, it was already done to mine when I bought it. Rockauto sells all versions as far a both bushings go and entire control arm assemblies. The question I would have is when you do the conversion do you then order replacement parts for Expy WO air ride... or...

    So the leak is enough to see it visually? Is it going into a spark plug hole? First thing I'd do is get a clean and DRY paper towel and hold it at the junction where the hoses leave the firewall on the passenger side, this is the piping to the heater core. If no sign of water leaking, check...

    Replaced Fuel Pump - Immediate whining noise from Tank and hesitation

    Yeah sounds like pump overheated possibly or it was defective, I'd look at fuel pressure and see what its pumping at idle and with a load. Sorry man that sucks. Delphi makes good products too.

    2001 5.4 2v low power...cats?

    Thanks for the reply Hamfisted I'll see what I'm getting here in the next few days, I did a round of blue devil head gasket sealer so I'm going to see if that did anything for me, I'm sure the pump is tired and should be replaced regardless. I'll keep you posted.

    Compression test 01 Navigator

    I know the timing procedure seems overwhelming ford girl but this is a rare chance to do the job and It isn't too bad with some of the videos on it, the standard melling pump is cheap and better than OEM, BUT the high volume is more but with you having an extra set of cams and more running gear...

    Very nice!!! I'm eyeing a rebuild next year and looking at getting a stage 1 cam from modular head shop possibly if I can find more info on torque curves and peak power numbers on the 5.4, any idea when ford used the PI heads? I have the 2001 Eddie Bauer 4WD so hoping I have the PI head.

    Eugenia I def second replacing your PCV valve and more importantly the hose. Rockauto has both at a good price or amazon has them with prime shipping if you're a member. Simple job TBH, any shady tree mechanic can replace within an hour and less than $40 to do. I'd also do a smoke test and make...

    P0171 1997 Ford Expedition

    Yeah new fuel filter and air filter, going to smoke test it and see, my PVC hose and valve are new, I think I know what it is unfortunately, very very minor head gasket leak, about to do a round of blue devil and see if that does the trick and pending smoke test will fix any leaks and if still...

    Hey Hamfisted, I am chasing a low power issue in my 5.4 2v, I have 30 PSI at idle and with the FPR vacuum pulled it goes to 40 PSI, should my gauge be higher when I rev? Also, Your sig always grabs my eye when you post LOL

    P0171 1997 Ford Expedition

    Update us if that fixed it, when you did the PVC did you change the actual piping that goes to the back of the intake manifold as well? I'm sure it needs it if you didn't.

    rev the engine past 1200 RPM steadily and see if your fuel trims improve to lower single digits. If so then def a vacuum leak. PVC pipe is biggest culprit but the smoke test will make it all obvious. Rock auto has good prices for your needed parts, 5% coupons are littered all over the internet.

    so I have a slight leak at the connection between the bank 1 exhaust manifold and downpipe, going to try to get that junction to seal and see what happens. Also going to test the TPS and rule that out, going to build a smoke test machine out of PVC pipe with a tiki lantern wick and baby oil to...
