Had a customer years ago with a Chrysler lean burn system that had a surge under cruise. Had it to several shops and was told everything from a carb rebuild to a new engine. I took on a test drive and adjusted the power valve to slightly enrich the primary metering rods on the thermo quad carb. The car ran beautifully, no more surge. Customer said the car never ran that good when it was new. When he got the bill for $50, he had a fit. "How can you charge me $50 when all you did was turn a little screw?" I said "It's $5 to turn the screw, $45 to know which one to turn." He paid the $50 and gave me a $20 tip.

What was the solution?

[@Joebummy]

Did you figure it out

The statement you made in the beginning about clearing the codes the process that you have is the exact process that should be done each and every time I also would recommend on any vehicle doing a history of all the computers that are in there or a health report this way you know where everything is at it's a good practice because of these vehicles get newer the computers are doing more and more interacting and affecting the operations of another computer

[@WreckDiver99]

Great work, and I agree, always check the obvious first. I sometimes get frustrated with Eric O. over at South Main Auto. He does all these resistance checks, grabs the schematics, etc. I'm usually saying "LOOK at the connector first". Then he's do 20 minutes of diags and then go to the connector and say "Well there's your problem". Even when he sees that, he'll go through and say "well, we need to go through the process". I'm more "OK, Connector wire is broken, fix it, and see if that was all the problem, or if there is more, you KNOW the wire is broken, so it has to be fixed anyway"...but, I'm not him, and it works for him. I still like the channel.

[@FordTechMakuloco]

I feel the same way, it's like these other guys love to bust out the oscilliscope and meter just for something that is almost always a simple fix.

[@cheapers1952]

At around 15 minutes into this we talk about the weather pack seals and everything else you have to remember you weren't the one that disassembled this engine you weren't the one that may have been a wild animal that's yanking away at the plugs and everything else and we also do know because of the age of polycarbonates do harden up and sometimes the plugs don't want to come off and the locking tabs could also break and snap off also this is the dilemma that happens all the time whenever there's any kind of major motor work after the vehicle has x amount of time on it or a lot a lot of miles due to the heat that's generated inside the engine area and also outside elements so you are absolutely right in explaining what happens to these plugs but in the beginning it also could have been someone that was very brutal taking this whole thing apart not using any TLC

[@lefthander5]

That's why mechanics need to learn to back prob these plugs!!! Drives me nuts to see these problems! The tool trucks sell nice sets to allow back probing the weather seal on the wires without damage. Stop compromising the wire sheild!!

They make liquid electric "tape." If you have to pierce the insulation of a wire, once you are finished, you can brush the liquid electric tape and it will fill the holes and set up within a few minutes so the wire continues to be protected from the elements.

A few year back I purchased this truck recently It would run fine for a mile or so the a a sudden major power loss. first thought was cad converter clogged, checking I learned there is 4 of them. My friend saw that the water pump was leaking. So I have no Idea what the previous owner upgraded or if any and since the oil pump is right there I am putting the high volume pump on as well. There was no timing issues but I have never had any experience with this motor, much less phasers. I have decided since its right there and to avoid having to basically do this again is to replace the timing chain, phasers and all. I want to know should I replace the phasers or reuse them and is this product a good replacement I am also buying E-cowlboy Crankshaft Positioning Tool For Ford - Timing Chain Installation (cam phaser locking + crankshaft positioning) however I still have no idea what could be causing the sudden and massive drain of power. we haven't really started to tear down the engine to do all this yet, I did see a lot of oil on exhaust pipe when i crawled under and can see it on back of engine not sure if blown head gasket or leaking from valve cover and will not know until we start removing parts to install timing water and oil pump. a year ago i had to replace the oil sending unit adapter plate because where the oil sender screwed in was cracked and a larger chunk was missing this happened after changing the oil not sure if it was pressure but i was nowhere near that to brake it the oil filter was by front bumper, That was a job in it self to replace but after that it ran great, . one more thing before losing power all the gages in the dash would stop working like a short somewhere then would start working again, time varied when it would start working again and if it sat all night the battery would be dead next morning, Im in no rush to do this I really like this truck and the power it has when I had to pull friends out of ditches, I never felt any strain or had to jerk anyone one out and these where very deep ditches on bot sides on a narrow road. pulling them out at a 90 degree angle I just locked them in put it in drive and never touched the gas and they came right out. I didn't expert that when I first got the truck I purchased manual locks and they are still in the box every other automatic locking hub I owned I had to put manual locks on them because they sucked, I cant say that about this one Diamond Power Timing Chain kit Replacement for Ford Expedition Navigator 5.4L V8 SOHC 16v TRITON 97-00, Opens in a new tab Diamond Power Timing Chain kit Replacement for Ford Expedition Navigator 5.4L V8 SOHC 16v TRITON 97-00Diamond Power Timing Chain kit Replacement for Ford Expedition Navigator 5.4L V8 SOHC 16v TRITON 97-00 $98.18$98.18

I ran into this same issue on a 94 Chevy C1500 truck I had. Intermittently the engine would all of a sudden start running really bad and almost stall then it would run great again. Hooked a scan tool to it and started messing with wires and found that the ones that went to the temp sensor connector that tells the computer the engine temp was causing the problem. The prongs were spread apart too far. Pushed them back into place and that took care of it. When the connection was broken the computer was seeing a stone cold engine so would configure the fuel and timing which made it run way too rich.
