The vehicle has been one big head ace.
I bought the kit, cleaned all the parts and then installed but had a problem with the lower therm housing. The sensor would not tighten because the busing was spinning in the hosing. Ford wanted $320 for it! I found a thread that said I could upgrade to the 2002 version for...about $100.
There was one thing I noticed about the tentioner fix. I could not put that piece in the galley plug because there was something blocking the hole which I thought maybe the job had been done before so I just replaced the tentioner. The old one only moved in and out about 1/4"...Anyway, I was very careful putting the new gaskets in place and made sure as much I could that it was all assembled correctly.
When I first started the engine I heard the chain rattle which I never bad before. It Lasted a few seconds and went away. There also sounded like a bad air leak somewhere then it started running real bad then stalled!
It won't start now!!!
I'm wonder it the chain broke....
Any advise with trouble shooting?
