Hi my name is Carl and i am a new member on the forum, I own a 2006 Ford Explorer XLT AdvanceTrac RSC 4.0 SOHC V6 with 93.000 miles on the odometer.
I bought the car used and after about a week I serviced the car ( in the first week the car had no issues ), the maintenance went well until, to my greatest surprise, a spark plug thread #1 cylinder turned out to be worn out ( damaged ) bummer.
So I had to fix the spark plug thread, via a tutorial I tapped, cleaned and placed a " save a thread helicoil long insert in the #1 cylinder.
After this the car remained with a issue, with a cold engine the car dies / stalls a couple of times ( about 4 to 7 times ), normally I can start it right away while driving i put the gear in neutral and then it usually starts up right again, sometimes I have to try 3 or 4 times before it starts up and then it drives like as if nothing is wrong I can drive for an hour without it stalling or dying on me.
The car has thrown the following codes in the past with my obd2 scanner on Forscan:
B1318
B1681-20
B1915
B2097
U0140
P0451
P1812
B1676
U0140-20
U1900-20
U2013
P1000
At this moment the cat shows the following codes:
P0451
P1000
B1676
U0140
In this post i would like to know if a bad/ poorly installed helicoil insert could cause the car to stall?
I have a more detailed post about this issue on the forum please see my other posts.
Saludos,
Carl
