FPDM location

[Korution661]

I have a 2000 4.6l 4x4 and was wondering if I had a fdpm? And if I do where would it be at? I looked for it near the spare and did not see it ( was getting dark). Anyone know??

2000 expys don't have the fuel module near the spare. That started I believe in 2004 or 2005. Ford only used it till 2007 or 2008. Not one of their finest hours. What symptoms are you experiencing, you didn't state in your post.

I am experiencing, while driving, a sudden loss of power while on hwy after about 60mph.. My speed will decrease but my rpm's will be high. if I play with pedal a lil then it will sometimes pick speed back up. It also is noticeable while taking off on a complete stop. when driving around town it will rev high and take a long time to speed up. tried taking cat's off that didn't work. code reads egr valve and other lean codes cant think of right now but I've about given up on it as of now. I was told to check spark plugs so that is next on my to do list. Any thoughts??? by the way thanks for that info, I was thinking I was blind.

Where to start! First thing I'd do is run a fuel pressure test. You might have a failing pump, or clogged line/ filter. The test should narrow down that. If you've got a egr problem, that could be contributing to lean codes. Are you doing work yourself! A full tune up definitely is a step in the right direction, however if you've got worn sparkplugs or a plugged air filter, it would run crappy all the time. The fact that your getting lean codes leads more to low fuel delivery, exaust leaks, intake leaks. These vehicles are famous for vacuum hose deteriation causing lean conditions. Let us know what you find.

FYI The FPDM was only on the 05 and 06 2nd gen expys

That's what I thought, was a little unsure if it went beyond 2006! Thanks for the correction.

tune up was done about a year ago.. had bank one header put in new spark plugs and boots.. changed all fluids transmission, radiator flush, and oil. lean codes could be cuz of aftermarket intake...

Sounds like a EGR problem. Similar issues on wife’s van P0401 does yours have a CEL or a pending code?

 

[Korution661]

I will check tonite but I'm sure that is the code mine is throwing too.

 

[Korution661]

did you just change out the egr valve? what was ur wife van doin?

Sounds like your trans is slipping. Just a thought.

Took it off you can brake clean to clear all junk off. Or I did the easy way Berryman b12 injector cleaner poured in a little bowl used a nylon bottle brush that way kill 2 birds 1 stone after clean dump rest in gas tank. If caked on carbon like hers, once you pore in let it sit with the fluid on it. Scrubbing took me about 1/2 hour to get clean very little carbon left. Don’t forget the new EGR gasket. Hers was FWD under intake back side a pain to get to.

Way cheaper then buying new 1/2 hour my time Vs the $60 for hers new. I don’t make anywhere near that per hour let alone 1/2 hour. Save your self the $
