Ford codes
07 Ex 4.0 SOHC. Blown head gasket so I did a full tear down with all new gaskets across the board from the bottom to the top. Both oil pans, heads, and all the other little gaskets in between from the kit. New timing chain kit. Put it all back together and was running like a dream. After going about 600 miles the serpentine belt tour and come to find out I accidentally put on the crank shaft, pulley gear backwards.
Had to remove everything and get down to the timing cover again. Oh, I put the timing gear on correctly this time and then had to re-time everything using the timing kit for the 4.0 SOHC. I also redid the O-rings and sleeves for the fuel injectors, since I didn’t do that the first time with the tear down, and noticed that they seemed slightly brittle.
Everything seem to be running great but then wife got stuck somewhere on freeway with engine stuck in a forced idle and cutting off at times. Had to have it towed back home. Got the following codes.
DTC Stored Codes
P0122 - Throttle Pedal Position Sensor/Switch (TPS) A Circuit Low Input
P0222 - Throttle/Pedal Position Switch/Sensor B Circuit Low Input
P060B - Internal Control Module A/D Processing Performance
P2104 - Throttle Actuator Control System Forced Idle
P2107 - Throttle Actuator Control Module Processor
P2110 - Throttle Actuator Control System – Forced Limited RPM
P2111 - throttle actuator control stuck open
P2135 - throttle body position sensor
P0068 - Air Assisted Injector Control Circuit High
DTC Pending Codes
P0122 - Throttle Pedal Position Sensor/Switch (TPS) A Circuit Low Input
P0222 - Throttle/Pedal Position Switch/Sensor B Circuit Low Input
P060B - Internal Control Module A/D Processing Performance
P2104 - Throttle Actuator Control System Forced Idle
P2107 - Throttle Actuator Control Module Processor
P2110 - Throttle Actuator Control System – Forced Limited RPM
P2111 - throttle actuator control stuck open
P2135 - throttle body position sensor
I pull things apart to get down to what I suspected was wiring since I noticed the wires were brittle around the connectors, and at the throttlebody, and also the EGR connector. Also, I believe I got a misfire code for cylinder 3 at some point, but after erasing codes that one didn’t pop back up.
I then drove it to work. On the way home, it pulled the EGR code P0401, P0303 cylinder 3 misfire and P0171 again but not all the throttle body codes. The EGR seemed to have issues before and the top piece with electronics seemed to spin freely unlike the replacement part. The EGR code was gone and didn’t come back but now theirs a hesitation and what feels like a misfire.
I pulled to end apart again and tested connectors. It’s seemed like there was an unusual amount of resistance in the connectors. I suspected wiring was cross connecting down the line since I found other brittle points. I pulled wiring apart in main harness. There was so much brittle wiring at almost every connector and every point where the wire had to bend on the top end.
I sealed it all over 2 days with liquid electrical tape. Resealed with new tubing and heat resistant tape. I reconnected everything. The rough idle is still there. I also did a test without the cylinder 3 spark plug wire plugged in. There is definitely a spark but when I remove it I don’t see any difference versus reconnecting it. But there’s no misfire code.
Now the only codes are still P0171 - Lean and now P0340 cam position sensor. I went ahead and replaced the sensor. But still the code doesn’t go away.
Sucks because it was running great before I had to pull it apart a second time.
