Will it START Fix Ford FREESTAR, DIY Fixing it Again, it has a misfire

[@donaldross1767]

Thank you for your video. I purchased the Dorman 911-918 Engine Intake Manifold Runner Control Valve at amazon today for $237 cdn on Amazon.ca Lordco wants $525+tax. After watching this I am hopeful I can repair it for the cost of the plastic bushings $7 at Napa. Then, I can save a bunch of$$! You made me pleasantly chuckle when you commented on the 10mm bolts size with "go figure". I haven't heard that expression since I moved from Nova Scotia in 1996. I wonder how many listeners understood it's meaning? lol

[@Kickstartyourcar]

Hi Donald, i know we had fun off camera too, lol and these cars are a blast to work on, we needed about 5 cups of patience. After the fix my friend sold it the same day. More videos to come soon. Thank you for your comment. Max offaltrades

Im asking what the part is called. Im really teying to figure out whats wrong with my van. I just had the tranny changed and now its throwing a misfire code and when im going it will like sputter and the engine light ccomes on and then it will clear out and run good it seems to be everytime im going up a hill or w.e.

[@Kickstartyourcar]

Oh geez, ( suggestion ) maybe the garage that changed your tranny, they should take a peak at maybe they forgot to connect something!

[@luizgonzalez5798]

I see that the runner control actuator of my ford windstar does not move, maybe that is why it has a misfire in cylinder 3, I already cleaned the egr ports that possibly caused misfire but it did not work, now I suspect the runner control actuator.

[@Kickstartyourcar]

keep at it, and it run better! Thank you for watching this video, and i'm happy that this entertainment video helped you :) Max from Kickstart your car

[@marykipp1717]

Our van is throwing a few different codes. However previous owner blames the NOISE on Changing the map sensor, and not resetting it. Now the codes im getting are the Idle air control circuit Transmission range sensor a circuit... While sitting in park idling it sounds like almost a thump thump thump suction noise. Please help

[@Kickstartyourcar]

Hi Mary Kipp, eee your car sounds very sick, without seeing your car, it seems like it needs a good mechanic, I'm sorry I can't help more.

[@Kickstartyourcar]

Ours before replacing these little 4 plastics pieces, it drove awefull, it stalled here and there, had a hard time starting and erratic idle.

[@venturabautista1021]

Where should the two sensors for the temperature be installed for this engine ?

[@Kickstartyourcar]

Hi, here is a link to help you find the temperature sensors, Thank for watching www.justanswer.com/ford/2wpqh-coolant-temperature-sensor-located-2004-ford-freestar.html

[@gawdat3859]

Thanks, really useful that you also showed it working properly!

[@Kickstartyourcar]

Thanks, when I turn my camera on for my next video, I always try to improve or show better angles. I try my best ...well I'm not a camera man, a movie editor, but one thing, I enjoy making these videos and having fun doing it :) Thanks for watching Max

[@Tumusica311]

If the rods are missing on the back side will this make the van have misfire in cilinder 1 & 5? also show code for heater on 02 sensor??

[@Kickstartyourcar]

The imrc atcs a bit like a choke and if rods are missing, it like create problems, replace the missing rods and the engine will run better.

[@monicamojica9284]

Hi I have a 2004 freestar with a misfire in cylinder 6 would this be the same thing?

[@edwinmannaandthelearningch4450]

can this problem cause the van not to turn over? when i cut the van on i have to reset the fuel by pushing that red button in the trunk. then it turns over

[@Kickstartyourcar]

Hi Edwin, what do you mean by ( not turn over ) ? the engine does not turn at all when you turn the key?

[@harrisburghawk315]

[@ImreDeJonge]

How the hell do you actually get the bushings in?? The rear one is bad enough, (can't even see it) but I can't even get the front one in without catching and breaking one of the prongs... (still wouldn't go in)... I even filed the square out a bit!! I also bought less expensive bushings, and they're crap!! (would Ford oem be any better? ..doubtful) The prongs break off right away! I broke one just going on the IMRC, which is the EASY part! There has to be a better (McGiver) way!! Why does Ford cut square holes requiring critical alignment, where they just want a round pivot anyway??? Why not just make a round hole with a round bushing? There's no reason to prevent the bushing from turning! How incredibly STUPID (and annoying) is that?? I'm going to need to McGiver this so my engine doesn't rely on tiny bits of difficult-to-replace crap plastic that will just fail again soon... this should be all-metal! These bushings are garbage, and the design is by an imbecile.

[@Kickstartyourcar]

Hi Imre De Jonge, I know what you feel, these car are a blast of pleasure to work on, and like most recipes ask for 1 cup , well this car needs about 20 cups of patience just to remove one bolt! In this video it's a friends car, and yes we really fixed it, my friend sold right away LOL Thank you for watching Max ofalltrades
