Engine Shutting Off

Hi Guys;

i have a 1998 Expedition , which i love..

But Lately when i come back from the train it has turned of about 6 times. Mind you its only a 2.5 mile drive.. and today i cranked it up to see how it was doing and it was idling super rough.. when you throttle it up it smooths out then it turns off...

Help

Turns off with the throttle up, or after it comes back down to idle?

Start by checking for codes. Clean the IAC, MAF, and the throttle body, all easily accessible and that should help with the rough idle. What motor do you have?

No.

I don't think you indicated what engine you have. But basically, its around the back side of the intake manifold. IIRC, on the 4.6 its not visible, but you can find it by feel. Just follow the PCV hose from the right side valve cover and you should "feel" the elbow to see if its all soft and mushy (trademark term ) or colapsed.

No but there's a picture, it's in the red circle: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ml#post9460693

If you have the 5.4L motor then clean the IAC as shown in this thread: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...4l-triton.html
