    P0301 rough idle no power (already checked spark)

    4.0L 2003 Sport Trac. Like the subject says. Also, under the hood sounds like sucking air (or puffing out?) but not continuous. More like every stroke. Hoping someone has an idea. John

    System voltage a bit low?

    I have had this 03 Sport Trac for about 3 years. The voltage gauge has always been reading a little under half. I have a good meter and voltage at idle and higher reads 13.8v to 13.9v. A few days ago my alternator died. I replaced with a used one and system voltage still the same. Should it...

    I could rewire the power port (found on right side of console by passenger legs) but wanted to know if there is a simple way to change it to be switched with ignition rather than always on?

    Yet another starting issue

    I have searched, but do not think I've found the same scenario, so I am posting a new thread. My 03 Sport Trac starts fine, but only for around 1 sec. The drops out almost stalls (elapsed time approx 1-1.5 seconds) then comes back fine. Mildly rough idle after. Once in a while, when it drops...

    Wants to go left even after alignment

    I did try a search, spent 1-1/2 hours reading but didn't really find my answer. My 03 ST wants to go left. I am constantly holding the wheel to the right. More so depending on road crown. If I let go so the steering wheel returns to center, I'm on my way to the left lane. I have...

    Hop, Skip, and Jump (suspension question)

    2003 Sport Trac. If, while driving, I hit a certain level of bump (sunken manhole cover as example), at moderate city or highway speeds, the rear end likes to hop and "shimmy" (slight drift to one side or the other). I call it "dancing" for lack of a better word. What is considered the...

    Very stiff shift lever - 2003 Sport Trac XLT 2WD

    I am waiting to pick up a new-to-me 2003 Sport Trac. They are supposed to fix a very stiff shift lever. I am hoping folks can shed light on the possible/likely causes of this. Thanks in advance.
