Hello,
heres my problem, about a week ago my X burned up 4 of 6 brand new 44p motorcraft double platum plugs, it burned the electrode and every thing off. I checked some stuff out with my buddys snap-on scan tool and I got some codes one was code 176 O2 sensor not reading correctly and we pulled a voltage test on it and it wasn't so I replaced that. then I put new bosch platium 2's in it. my 2nd code was a code 332 EGR not opening then is said PFE/DPFE. my chiltons manual explains it as a backpressure inducer. So then I replaced the EGR Valve cause it was sticking did a test drive and still the check engine light comes on, well then today I replaced my EVR sensor my local ford dealership parts man I know said some times the EVR the filter gets dirty and sticky and then throughs a code well I put that on and I still get a check engine light. this is driving me nuts I did a KOEO test and the sensors seem to be working fine. also I had a rough idle after a hot restart and that CAMP selinoid was suppose to fix but it still does it. my PFE/DPFE had good soft hoses going to it so I know there not cracked. would that be causeing the problem? please help me some one I get deployed in a week for the guard and I need to get my X fixed for my wife to have a dependable car.

thank you.
 






im not too sure what your problem is but i hear a lot of bad things about those platnum plugs. when i bought my x i changed the oil and plugs even though the previous owner sayed he just did that a week before and had a recipt of the parts. i pulled the plugs out and they were totally fouled out , from the looks of them i was running a lean condition. i put in an o2 sensor and some ngk plugs (good plugs) and i checked them after a 715 mile drive to wyoming and they looked brand new. personally i dont like those platnum plugs. i even had a disgussion with some instructors at my school, (WYOTECH) and they say they are a crock of SH*&. wish i could help more ill ak an instructor tomarrow about your problem and let you
