appreciate the feedback. to clarify - turning the key to the on position - all the lights and bells work as they should.. when twisting to the START position - nothing.. i have never liked the clutch interlock..but that's life. .turning the key ON and bump starting works perfectly. however...

hi folks, 2001 Sporttrac sohc, 5spd. 210,000 today after stomping on the clutch and twisting the key.. nada.. no beep, click or stutter. bump starting - she runs just fine. peering under the dash, found multiple wires going to an ugly looking component. was hoping i could jump across the...

Resolved!!!!! changed out the DPFE sensor ($75 from FORD) and the light went away!.

codes P-0401 & P-0402 thoughts? suggestions???

thanks for the followup. haven't resolved it yet. reset codes, filled up. th elight came back on. ran a couple thanks thru her - light (shutting off at each fill-up) - no resolution. i'll stop by the parts house this evening to have them read the "new" code(s) and update this thread..

i'll give that a try - thx.

2001 SportTrac, 4.0 SOHC, 5spd, 4x4 after 160,000 miles the original engine self destructed. located a "gently used" engine (7k miles) and swapped. check engine lite goes off shortly after i fill the tank. then comes on about 3/4 tank level. don't know what code it's throwing yet -...

replaced the drivers side gears & chain a few months ago. everything went all right - thanks to the VERY helpful instructions in this forum.. crusing down the fwy yesterday when it begin to sound like pre-igntion knock. shifted form 5th to 4th, eased up on the gas - sound went away. step...

i have no idea. my ears are so old it doesn't matter what the speakesr sound like :)

to replace the guide / gears / chain - is it necessary to remove the cylinder head?

well - since nobody responded i have to assume either: a) nobody in the Phoenix area has this tool -or- b) nobody is willing to rent / loan the tool -or- c) nobody in the Phx area has a SOHC engine with cam cartridge problems... so - i bought the tool- if anyone in the great...

Anyone in the Phoenix area willing to rent / lend me and perhaps advise a bit while i replace the cam cassettes? I've read numerous threads and it doesn't sound extremely dificult. Rather than purchase off ebay (and then resell) thought i'd post an inquiry.. thx, karl

Don - TY TY TY! for these posts. The engine was only run a few miles after the noise began, oil pressure remained normal. At your recommendation i've read a bunch of the threads on this subject - couldn't help noticing you reply often. Again - Many Thanks! :thumbsup: I've located the timing...

searched and found some threads but - has anyone done this? w/150K on the 4.0 - and needing cam cartridge replacements - one option is to drop an old (rebuilt) 302 in there. my '01 has a 5sd manual and 4x4 - will the transmission bolt up to a 302? i'd go completely non-computerized - 4bbl...

i've read some of the threads and - altho i'm a pretty fair shade-tree mechanic over the last 40 years - it seems a bit intimidating. special tools required to lock the crank and time both cams. and what's the deal with a chain in the rear of the engine???? All i want to do is replace the...

THX! will do. I seached for cam guide but didn't get much. :roll:

it broke. with only 148k miles - the drivers side chain guide needs to be replaced. I've pulled the valve cover off and verified. it's not clear in the manual i have (haynes i think) how deeply i need to dig into the engine to replace this component. must i dismantle the front end...

we have 140k on the 01 - as i mentioned - the tranny was replaced at 20k and slave cylinder at 100k. towing - frame mounted hitch is a MUST!!! i've hauled a full 6x12 uhaul from Portland to Seattle, Towed many many big motorcycles (full-dress cruisers), a car trailer with a 2100 lb 1968...

do i use in an 01 w/5spd manual trans??? the owners manual was stolen during burglary - but the couldn't start the truck (YEA FORD).. some say 90 some say atf...

yup -- we have on 01 4x4 w/5spd and the 4L V6 4.10 (maybe 4.11) posi bought new in Seattle. 130,000 miles on it now. had the 5spd replaced under warranty at 20k - slave cylinder went out at 100k. other than that - IT'S GREAT!
