- 2002 Sport Trac V6 4.0
I bought a 2002 Sport Trac from a dealer that was carfax approved, the carfax was perfect on this truck is only has a little over 60,000 miles on it, I test drove it, everything was fine & ran great. I drove from Nashville to Bowling Green KY to buy this truck, I got back into Tennessee & then had to stop for gas & when I got back on the interstate then all the sudden I was losing power & when idling it felt like it wanted to die, I figured I got some bad gas so I put some sea foam in the tank hoping that would help, it didn’t seem to help at all, eventually the engine light came on, I took it to AutoZone & the machine said it needed spark plugs & coil pack so I bought them & was able to replace only the coil pack & 1 plug, I had a hard time getting it out, in fact part of it broke off & I had to get that out & didn’t want to chance doing the others, but I got it out & put a new one in & the new coil pack & it ran worse than it was running before, I took it to two different mechanics to have them run a diagnostics tests on it, they can’t figure out what’s going on, I ended up putting the old coil pack back on & it’s running like it was before I replaced it, just a rough idle like it’s wanting to die & it’s also sounding like there’s either some loud exhaust noise or some air or something coming from somewhere. I don’t know how to really describe it. Can anyone maybe tell me what else I can do?
