Ford ExpeditionTrue expeditions require additional transportation conveyances: horses, boats, cars, for example. With a towing capacity around 9,000 pounds, the Ford Expedition can tow any of these. Ford adds a new top end King Ranch model for 2008, as well as an available rear backup camera and power-retractable running boards. The Expedition is meant for utility, not posing.
Anyone have a clue about this? I get up in the morning to go to work the truck starts great and i drive about 30-40 miles and all of a sudden it stalls and you have to pull over and wait (it is about 10 min. and it starts right back up, if any ealier it may fire after 5 min. but will soon die it needs 10 and if you try to start it right when it stalls it just turns over and never starts you have to wait). Will do this through out the day after driving but ounce it happens you get more like 20 miles after waiting 10 min. and it will happen again. Weather seems to be no issue. I have had it to the shop twice and it is fine to them and they let it idle for 6 hours and it idled fine so you must have to be driving it. The fuel filter and oil has been changed still does it. Driving around town is fine. Any suggestions? Has been doing this for over a month. Mechanic thinks possibly the computer gets hot but doesnt know becuase he hasnt had it happen
that was typical of the early duraspark ignitions and a failure of the pick up coil inside the distributor when it got hot. SO it really does sound electrical. It could also have happened back when cars had only one coil, but your has 8 coils, one for each cylinder.
Does your check engine light come on? IF so it should be throwing a diagnostic code. Could be a bad ground to the PCM. If it is bad enough it should throw a code.
I just read in another thread that someone suggested getting a spray can of freeze or something like that, and that when the engine fails to spray components such as the computer, the coils etc. If they get cooled, and then the engine runs better, then you know which part/s need to be changed. I hadn't heard of this before, but wouldn't do it on expensive electrical components (like the computer) without expert advice.
You may want to speak to your mechanic about this idea. You may want to ask him how to test the computer next time you are sitting on the side of the road.
Good advice above. Furthermore, I wonder how clogged the OE fuel filter was? They are cheep enough, so I would replace it again & see for yourself if the "replacement" one is maybe clogged up again or even at all.
