Have not gotten any responses in powertrain section so ill try here.....
So i recently purchased a 1997 XLT 4.6L 4wd
The check engine light was on and was reading
-cylinder 3 misfire
-cylinder head overheating
Now a friend of mine basically told my that my motor was toast and i should replace the whole thing. Basically that there was nothing i could do. The motor does not leak at all but im not to savvy when it comes to motor and hes has been pretty knowledegable
I have done a bunch of searches and found nothing that says my motor is dead other than it MAY be a headgasket leak, but to change out the plug and coils and check the thermostat first.
Im not sure exactly how to take it.
Is he right or does my motor have a good chance of being a easy fix?
Thanks
