- 2006 Mercury Mountaineer
Hi everyone I'm Rick and I've used the threads here for help so I thought why not join since most answers I've seen have helped! I have a 2006 Mercury Mountaineer 4.0 V6 AWD and it has 220,000 miles. I've driven it for a year now and everything works perfectly inside and out. Well I noticed a small oil leak on the passenger side valve cover and decide to change the valve cover gaskets.Well I lifted the intake manifold and didn't replace the gaskets so after assembly I had loss of power, chugging, almost zero acceleration and it stalled. I redid the intake with gaskets this time but after starting I moved it 40 feet before it stalled and has not started again.I check and replaced the starter, replaced the battery and put new spark plugs as well as a new throttle control sensor on the throttle body.I checked the fuel shut off and think the plug wires are in correct order but I get no start. I do get gas when I pump pedal upon start but only a few pops when trying to start. I have checked all fuses I can think of and swapped a few relays but still won't fire. All the things done was from past posts here so I'm hoping someone can help , what am I missing??
