Greetings, I had to post this thread to see if anyone of you had a similar situation to what happened to me last week. I have an Expedition Eddie Bauer 2007.
I live in Bogota, Colombia. The city is at 2.600 meters above sea level (8.500 feet) and with a regular temperature of 12-14 Celsius (mid 50's Fahrenheit). I traveled to visit family in my expedition to a city at 1.000 feet above sea level and with temperatures of 95 Fahrenheit.
During my trip, my expedition started to misfire, once in this city, the failure was getting worst. No check engine light came up and I checked the truck with a scanner with no codes shown. We took out coil plugs and spark plugs and everything was perfect.
In the end, the technician told me that this could be caused due to the oxygen/fuel governor was not working ok and the setting of the truck was still for a high altitude environment. When I returned home yesterday, the truck is running smoothly again.
Any ideas of what could cause this and if there are any sensors I should be looking to change? This is the first time I see this happen and I plan to continue traveling other places with my truck, so all the help and advice you can provide will be much appreciatted.
Thanks and happy new year!
