This is the skinny With my 2001 EX EB with 5.4 It started out as a Coolent Leak end up being a bad Intake manifold that was spraying water on the Righ rear Coil pack.

I replaced the Intake checked al the heater hose for leaks checked good so I reused them, New Plugs New coild packs Cleaned ICV.

I still have a rough Idel not super rough but not normaly smouth There No Lowend Power very lazy I tryed to reset the computer still no luck I getting a service engine soon light.

I will get a code reader this comming weekend.

Any Idea's what could be the isuues.

When the car stated acting up I drove it 30 miles to get it home before this It ran great back then this is before I changed out the intake and the other stuff.

Is It possible the O2 went bad when I limp it home during the 30 mile to get it home.

You need to pull the codes. Anything else is just guess work.

Took the Ex for a 40 mile drive so far Good no leaks runs Great and my MPG went up.

I had a 1999 EX EB 4X4 it got 16 17 MPG so when I got this 2001 EX EB.
I was thinking it should get about the same or better due to it beening 4X2 less weight to pull around.

To my suprize it only was getting 13.1 Avg Now I getting 16+ I can live with that.

Suprize what a tune up will due.
