Aloha Dillard, and on the way home the Check Engine light came on, lol! It's okay. My mechanic will pull the codes tomorrow, I will let you all know what is going on and double check the wiring. Mahalo!

Aloha Dam and Dillard, my mechanic went under my vehicle, it sounds like the wires are okay. He believes my PCM needs to be reprogrammed at the dealer, they charge $220 for this service. Question: does the PCM from time to time need to be reprogrammed? I realize mine is now 16yrs old. Would...

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mof-wpt152 BTW I found this above O2 sensor connector, would this work for all 4 of my oxygen sensors? Mahalo and thank you very much!

Aloha DAM, thank you very much for your reply. My mechanic was wondering why all the codes came up at once. I will ask him to check the wiring, wire harness. If damaged, can these be ordered, individually replaced or does one have to "splice" in new connections? Also, even though my 02 sensors...

Aloha Dillard000, thank you so much for explaining that! I was wondering if the oxygen sensors were the same, minus the length! And thank you about the history, I read where it said Bosch is the original. I'll get 4 of them! By the way can a failing O2 sensor affect the running of the engine...

Aloha Todd, yes it's a Gen 2, 2007 4.0L. I will definitely check under the battery tray as well as to look into the AGM batteries! BTW can failing O2 sensors affect performance, like at low rpm, engine sputtering? I had this symptom before the Check Engine light came on previously. Doesn't...

Aloha Dillard, thank you as always. I'm assuming that my O2 sensors are original and thus need to be replaced. I've always tried to get Ford Motocraft parts but am curious about the Bosch sensors as many on Rock Auto like them as well. They are also half the price. Have you had good luck with...

In addition to the O2 sensors x4, mine are the originals with 175k on them, when typically do fuel injectors in these engines go out? I did replace one about 2yrs ago. Look forward to the advice in regard to O2 sensors, wire harness if needed, other parts that may need to be replaced. Mahalo!

Aloha folks, The past couple of weeks I've noticed when engine is warmer, been running and I come to slower speeds I hear a clicking noise or something from the engine compartment. I've seen my rpm gauge quickly fluctuate at lower rpm's or sputter. Finally last Friday the Check engine light...

Aloha Dillard & Phil, I met someone that said they were able to get a nice low mileage donor engine out of a 2007 Mustang of all things. It is a 4.0 SOHC and I believe they had to swap things over. Be nice to find one under 80,000 miles for a good price, then do all the timing chain parts...

Aloha Dillard & Phil, thank you! Yes, if I could score a nice low mileage engine and do the timing chains, better oil pump, new water pump, injectors and gaskets I would. I know of some engines right now with 70-90K on them. I didn't know if I had to stay in the same years or could look at a...

Aloha Dillard, Phil, Brett my VIN has a "K" in it. Question: can my vehicle accept an engine that comes from 2nd Gen Sport Trac with an "E?" Just curious about this as my mechanic brought up the idea of possibly getting a good donor engine with lower miles out of another Sport Trac between...

Aloha Dillard, thank you as always! Currently in CA, truck and I originally from the islands, hope to return one day soon! I will check out that gaspedaltofloor before turning the key to start! A couple people have brought up locally getting a reman engine. My question would be what brand of...

https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=5969469&cc=1433278&pt=5756 Aloha Dillard, here is a kit from Rock Auto, it's about 400.00 less than what the Ford dealership wants in my area. I think you mentioned this brand as being good. Mahalo

Aloha Dillard, good points. My mechanic is very fair. Thinking of going this front timing chain route for now. I will try to get Ford MotorCraft parts but like your other options as well. I do use a Ford synthetic blend for oil and was doing it every 4-5k but can change if that could help...

Aloha Phil, wow that is awesome! Is your ST a second generation like mine? Thank you for your information. Mahalo

Aloha Brett, thank you. I like Rock Auto very much. Will see if they have the MotorCraft parts. I'm hoping if I only do this front portion of the timing "system" it'll afford me so many more miles before a reman engine is necessary. Mahalo

Aloha Phil, thank you for your reply! I'm curious, did you get your reman motor from Ford or some other company? How has it been since changing out your original one? Thank you again. Mahalo

Aloha Dillard, thank you so much for your information! So, it sounds like there are 5 parts to change add in a water pump and serpentine belt call it 6-7 parts. I saw a link to an all Motorcraft kit, 10 parts. I post here soon to see what you think. Two questions: can I drive my Sport Trac...
