    1998 Eddie Bauer with codes...Where do I start??

    i did gap the plugs when I installed the new coils. The dealer mentioned above installed Motorcraft plugs when they put the new motor in so I figured when I had the coils out I'd check them due to all the problems I've encountered with the work done by the dealer. They were actually correctly...

    So, finally get a chance to update on the Expy. Here's what I've come up with so far and this has all been done in the last 8 to 10 months.

    Ok, so update on finding the issues with the codes. Took it to a mechanic friend who was going to try to track it down for me. Due to Ford limiting access to their programming for the older vehicles we ran into a dead end and he recommended a dealership who he trusted. That dealer went through...

    Thanks for the input guys. I'm finding it hard to find the time to dig into this, but hopefully it will ease up a little this weekend or maybe next week and I'll have a little extra time to really dig into the vacuum leak investigation.

    Haven't tested the fuel pressure yet, planning on doing that this evening. Got a really busy day planned and not sure I'll have time but I'm making an effort. LOL. I'll post those results as soon as I have them.
