So we have a 2003 Eddie bauer 4.6 RWD
We bought it in 2016 from a "dealership" we found out that the warranty was a lie, they refused to take it back, and they had messed with the official records of the odometer
239000- not 139000
Didn't way anything about the jumping spark plugs, nothing about the ticking, oh it just needs to be driven.
So, it threw the insert in week three. They laughed about the warranty and said SUE ME!
They closed down right after that.

We had to have it sit till 2019 and it's been in the shop ever since. Insert, battery, manifold ignition coils ,cats, seals,belts, fuel pump, wiring, rocker arms, now a part under the manifold caught fire during start after over five grand worth of work. Don't know if they actually found the right part, oh, new tires it's a beautiful planter, mint inside. Never towed anything. Fleet vehicle. Who wants to see my invoices? AND IT STILL WON'T START RIGJT/ it ran when we took it in, mechanic very respected un2016-06-06_18-31-51_653.jpg2016-06-06_18-28-07_979.jpg2016-06-06_18-28-47_562.jpg2016-06-06_18-29-40_939.jpg

sorry I have arthritis, part of the reason for buying something I felt safe in. I should have just saved for a new engine, I'm in seven grand about and it still won't idle right, they said it's this air thing under the manifold with a sensor that apparently caught on fire due to leaking off the manifold that then leaked in the spark plug holes and this mystery part that apparently has a B on the end of the part number, it's the bottom manifold. I see ppl asking 4 grand for this vehicle prior to the first plug throw. So, anyone want to help me get this puppy running? My mechanic is looking for expy experts to help. I can't get a different car, and I can't afford a new engine now. In Arkansas- No, I can't tow it to a youtube specialist in cali, or Oregon, we even asked Scotty Kilmer for help. He said take the cats off and drive it. Ummmmm, it won't idle now. We asked him to look at it after we move and have the mover drop it in TN as we will be in KY, I'm not driving this 500 miles, I'm scared to drive it five minutes. And the reason for all the work? He wanted to save us money instead of a new engine. That worked out well. I'm disabled, no family, they are all dead. Have to move as they are taking a wrecking ball to our place in a couple months.
