:mad: I have had the same problem for MONTHS. I have codes p0301 p0302 and p0303 and no other codes. What would cause these codes and no other codes? I'm stuck and have no clue where to begin. I don't have the money to take it to a mechanic. Any help will be MUCH appreciated. Thanks

I am looking for a GOOD, TRUSTWORTHY mechanic here in Austin, TX. Long story short (for now) some @$$hole put sand/sugar in my gas tank and I had my entire fuel system replaced (almost entire system). I now have an oil leak on the driver's side and I can't find where it is coming from for the...

:mad: I am having TONS of trouble with my 2002 Ford Explorer Sport 4.0 and need help. I have already checked the codes and get: P0301 P0302 P0303 and P0174. I have also had the ignition coil tested and its fine. The CEL flashes when the engine has warmed up. Mostly after sitting at a light for...

I actually bought one today! :) $12 @ Advance Auto w/ -$5 coupon :thumbsup:

Actually I thought the same thing when the CEL came on so I unplugged the negative battery cable and the light came back on :(

I tried looking to see where the oil is coming from and I can't find a leak! I'm twirling my thumbs waiting for my tax return to start buying parts. I'm thinking of starting the the ignition coil BUT that doesn't solve the oil problem :(

When the car was in the shop getting tests done, I was told everything was normal and it could be an electrical issue??? Sound accurate???

Long story short I just got my 2002 explorer sport 4.0 out of the shop because some @$$hole put sand/sugar in my tank. $1500 later I have 3 new fuel injectors, new lines, tank, fuel pump, fuel pump regulator and filter. When I took it in there was oil (I'm 99.9% sure its oil) covering the...

Is it possible I could have ruined my cats? Or O2 sensors need replacing??

Are you kidding me?! I haven't even had the car 24 hours and the check engine light is back on and flashing! Took it to Auto Zone and got 3 codes...cylinders 1, 2 and 3! The injectors were just replaced! Anyone got any ideas??? I really don't want to take it back to that shop but need to see if...

Thanks for the link! I know what my project will be this weekend...changing the EGR valve and crossing my fingers it fixes the problem :)

Well I FINALLY got the truck back today! Insurance covered it. I saw the old fuel pump and I'm not even sure what was in the tank! It didn't look like sand or sugar. All I know is I am NOT taking any vehicle back there or recommending them ever. It still idol a little rough but not near as bad...

Well now I have to wait 10-14 days for the test results?! The insurance company is starting to irritate me. My car has already been in the shop for 2 weeks, now I have to wait 2 more weeks?! Its obviously vandalized...just cover it already! ugh

They didn't just put cleaner in it and it fixed...they have replaced the fuel injectors, fuel pump regulator, fuel pump, fuel filter, and fuel lines. :mad::mad::mad: My truck better run better than it did when I got it...lol

Well the adjuster called...he says there is sand covering parts and now wants to do a fuel sample test...the only problem with that is the shop put a fuel cleaner into the fuel to clean out what was in there. My guess is that this is going to mess up the test because of the cleaner. Am I right...

UPDATE!!! I haven't heard from the actual adjuster, but I did call my insurance rep and the adjuster is at the shop right now. All she could tell me right now is that it is SAND in my tank! I haven't researched the damage of sand yet, but obviously it isn't any better than sugar. Maybe its a mix...

The insurance adjuster is going to the shop today. They have all the old parts covered in sugar saved for them. I'm just crossing my fingers everything gets covered! All else fails...at least my truck should run better and hopefully get better gas mileage...lol :)

Punjab- I agree with u completely. This guy is a real jerk. He also keyed my entire drivers side right before thanksgiving. All because I had him towed 1 time. My $1500 compared to his $200! He deserves everything karma will bring his sorry @$$!

FYI: I'm a woman ;) haha...so I don't have an ex-gf to piss off lol. I did have this guy towed out of my parking spot 3 months ago...

I saw the sugar! There is tons of it. My shop bill is $1500! My entire fuel system is basically being replaced and 3 injectors. I filed a police report and insurance claim. Let's just hope the insurance covers it. Fingers crossed!

Well the shop just called and confirmed the sugar! There is sugar crystals covering the fuel regulator. They said 3 of my injectors might need replacing and maybe my fuel pump and regulator. Is there anything I can do about this? File an insurance claim? Police report? I know this is going to...

I did have the spark plugs and wires changed 2 weeks ago because of codes p0172 and p0175. After the plugs were changed was when the light came on. When they told me about the compression test, they just said everything was good.

Before I took it in I did notice that the check engine light did blink.

They are getting a spark. When I had the codes pulled before I took t to the shop it was p0301 p0302 and p0303...

:mad: I took my car to the shop a week ago and today their update was, "we think there's sugar in your tank." Long story short someone has being vandalizing my truck and I have no hard proof but know it is him! I drove it for a month before I took it to the shop although it was already running...
