    Replaced the IACV. Fixed the stumbling and hesitation and wandering idle.

I ignored it since it was very rare but it finally got pretty bad one time and it stalled in reverse (automatic mind you) so I said nope, gonna address this now. Read up...

    My first Ford Expedition.

    Found a good deal on a well preserved 1999 XLT with the 4.6L V8. Had about 80,000 miles on it when it was delivered. Everything, save for the tires, is factory stock and most of the doodads work. Found a few minor issues like electric side mirrors refusing to tilt down and right, sometimes...
