To answer both questions, I just printed out all of the TSB's and Recalls for the 98 SOHC. I going to call the dealer to find out what has been done and what hasn't. I pretty sure it hasn't had the 00M12 work done. I'm almost positive that's the vacuum leak. No K&N filter. I have the stock...

Anyone had problems with the SOHC motors such as Low Idle, Stalling at stops, bucking like the fuel filter is clogged between 35 - 50 mph? Had it in the shop for two days. They said it sounds like it had a vacuum leak but couldn't find it. They also said it may be the MAS, but they didn't want...

Well, I replaced the thermostat, and I can't believe it, but the problem is gone. I guess $24.00 thermostats cause a lot more problems than you could ever imagine. Idle is back to normal, trans is fine, and runs at a normal temp again.

KDG102, That seems kind of funny, my wife told me she thoughtit seemed to running hot. Since she took my truck for the last few days these all of these symptoms begin once the truck starts to get hot. The temp sensor goes up high enough for the Check Gage light to come on for about 30...

This thing is definitely not fine, drives like ****. Drives so bad, my wife is now driving the truck I just bought, and making me the Explorer. Definitely not cool. She drives around 100 miles a day, I do 18. It worth the $125.00 if it gets me my truck back. It's a shame I can't get her to trade...

2 Questions on SOHC's I have seen a lot posted about the 00M12 Warranty work posted. Is this basically recall work without the recall? I am taking my truck to the dealer Thurs, is this something I should ask them to do. Will they try and charge me? It is a 98 SOHC with 74,000 on it. Truck makes...

Alec, not Alex as I previously wrote, I tested the TPS and it tests fine. I have an appoint with Ford dealer Thurs, just gonna let them tell me what the hell is wrong. $ 125.00 but I won't have to keep guessing. Took back the IAC, I installed, since it did nothing. They didn't carry the TPS so...

Alex, I think you may have hit the nail on the head, we put it on a scanner yesterday, and it said the TPS voltage could be incorrct, my buddy didn't have the manual for the 98 yesterday, so I'm not sure what it was suppose to be. I scheduled an appointment for the Ford dealer for thurs, but...

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: As much as I wanted that original post to be short and sweet apparently it isn't. Went to pick up the truck from my wife and man is it acting F****D UP. NOt only is the idle still hovering around 1100 - 1200, but when you start from a...

I'll make this short and sweet. Engine Idling at 1200 in Drive whille sitting still, causing one helluva kick when downshifting when your driving and cominngto a stop. Used to idle at around 750, what's up. On my way to buy a Chiltons, haven't needed it for the last year i have had the truck...

The problem is not limited to 98's. Mine on my 98 is out off and on, I have seen the problem on 97's and 99's as well. I agree, ford should recall it, but with the whole tire thing I don't see it happening. The only fix I have heard off, is to remove the radio and re-solder all of the...

Does anyone know how to remove the stock CD changer from the console. I just got a 98 Sport a few weeks ago, and haven't had the time to buy a Chiltons yet. The dealer finally got me my cartridge for the changer yesterday, and the thing jammed up the first time I tried to use it. It worked on...

Anyone figured this out yet? I am scheduled to take my 98 Sport in for this tomorrow. Looks like I may be wasting my time. I had a 91 Sport with the same problem as well.
