    sohc, no spark, Help!

    I agree, common problem with sohc 4.0. Spining no start no fire, suspect the ckp (crank shaft position sensor). Now this opinion is based on you checking the light function as the post above this one explained.

    Working on Brakes, Blew Caliper Piston!!

    at this point your best bet would be a replacement caliper, if not a new one at least replace the seal and clean it very well before reassembly. I must say i would not recommend rebuilding it yourself, it's not always so easy. advise you read online is mostly general, unique problems do happen...

    2002 4.6L V8 Eddie Baur Explorer dies at Idle

    Idle prob: You most likely have a vaccume leak. When you have a vaccume the pcm reads air intake volume at the Mass Air Flow, but reading o2's with a lean conditon so it trys to compensate by adding fuel ( running rich...Black residue on the plugs...) this accurance is called "fuel trim". You...

    oil pressure sender issues.

    Yes, but first dose you scan tool read " Data" or "pids"? If it dose you can scan the "ICCM" ( Instrement Cluster Controll Module ). Assuming you get this far you can read the signal from the sender to the "ICCM" and see if the problem is in the signal to the cluster (bad sensor) or in the...

    Wiring Questions

    I'm glad too, trying to help you figure out why you have a hard shift in second and a jolt when you turn on the cruise controll would give us all hand cramps. Good luck hope it works out well for you.

    Oil smoking during oil change

    Ok, first thing you need to find where the leake is. Do you have a cooling system pressure tester? If you have not had this problem before the intake gasket install then you may have a problem with the gaskets leaking coolant into an intake runner causing the smoke, if the smoke is in fact...

    Please help- no headlights

    take it back to the shop, if you paid them to fix it they should warranty there work. 285 sounds steep for a switch but simply they should go back on there diagnosis. if the shop told you $285 and a new switch would fix the problem they should stand by there diag and work and fix it correctly...

    Diagnostic code PO430.

    this could go either way, po430 is for the effiieciency of the catilist system. In the shop normal procedure would be to back pin at the pcm with an osiloscope and read what the o2 is sending to the pcm. Assuming you don't own an "O" scope i would say replace the o2 disconnect the negative batt...

    Wiring Questions

    The only wire that would "pulse" is the VSS, because it's an AC circuit, the flipside to taping into the VSS is, lets say you add .2 ohms of resistance to the VSS circuit by adding your gps unit in to the circuit you would be changing you vss signal to the pcm and the instrament cluster controll...

    popping(Backfire?) only at start up WTF?

    Any idea where the noise is comeing from? Is the poping out of the exaust or under the hood... the poping noise you are hearing, can only be a few things, the only way a car can backfire is when an intake valve is open as the plug is fired resulting in combustion gases being ignited while...

    Oil smoking during oil change

    PCV! the pcv valve is either stuck, or you have a blockage in the recirculation system somewhere. I have seen this many times as well but in an engine that has not been run for 24 hours? idk it would have to be a large blockage to not release the crankcase gases overnight. Have you checked the...
