Hello fellows

Brand new here, been rodding one thing or another since 1957. Love engine swaps and designing suspension. Appreciate anything that makes noise. Have been senior tech inspector at Firebird Intl Raceway since 1990, although I don't get to work as much as I would like any more. Semi-retired. Just call me Richard.

I am new as well, and not very adept but learn quickly. I am going to attempt a throttle body cleaning on my '99 4.6L along with new plugs and possibly a new fuel filter. wish me luck!

Howdy Richard! Welcome to FTE! Tech inspector, suspension designing...wow...sounds like we have another great source of information!Check out the Brakes, Steering, Suspension, Tires& wheels forum. I'm very sure you will be a great fit there, amonst the rest of all FTE has to offer. Please take a few moments and read the guidelines and the READ FIRST notes at the beginning of each forum and then come back and post often. Also...check out your state chapter and give some thought to joining!

And welcome aboard to you also, sir! Good luck! I'm wondering how many miles or what it is that warrants a plug change? Check out the 4.6 and '97 -'03 F150 forums. There are numerous threads on changing plugs, in case you run into any issues.

Hi Y'all and welcome to FTE from Canyon Lake, Texas! Great to see new people "on board". Good place to learn & "share" knowledge. Sounds like a "win win" situation to me. Welcome, again!
