- 2003 Sport Trac
Hooked up to the OBD and I am pulling codes P0300,0301,0302,0303 for misfires in #s 1, 2 & 3. Also pulling 0316 for misfire during startup, 0171 and 0174 for system too lean (bank 1 & 2). I threw in some Rislone and ran Seafoam through the vacume line as I have read that is a good start but still having problems. Here's what I am experiencing. When I start up, the engine runs a little ruff but does not seem like I am misfireing. After a minute or so, I start getting a serious taping in the valve cover on the passanger side of the engine. It gets a little louder and I can tell the speed of the "tapping" is keeping time with the revs (faster at higher rpms) If I let it sit for a few hours, it will start without tapping again but sure enough it will start again in a minute or two. Kinda at a loss and don't want to start buying parts that aren't necessary as times are real tuff right now (NYC construction worker waiting on Union assignment for almost a year) Any ideas would be extremely appriciated.
