Cool! Didnt think of that! I will try it! ....if it's not that, could it be a blend door problem mixing too much cold air with hot air?

With engine warmed up, selecting ANY vent exit, when temp set to HOT, it only is warm and NOT hot. Takes loads of time to "defrost" moisture on windshield in defrost mode. Air temperature is too low to get it all in a reasonable time. Is it a blend door problem? If so is it actuator controlled...

I have a 2008 Sport Trac 4.0. Noticed one day I didn't have A/C. Found compressor hub had departed! Want to replace compressor assembly. What is a good aftermarket a/c compressor brand, or should just stick with OEM Motorcraft$$ ?? Besides the accumulator/drier, what else should be replaced...

Can anyone suggest a RELIABLE company that will repair a PCM for 2008 Sport Trac? Seen so many scam/terrible outfits out there that it's difficult to tell good from bad. Reliable shop diagnosed my misfire/bank lean issues to the PCM. Any leads would be appreciated!

Dillard, I guess I'm lost! Please view the first photo with the vacuum hose disconnected from the manifold. Where is the PCV valve located in reference to this location? Amazon sez I need this heated PCV valve. It's very difficult to see anything back behind between the cast edge of the manifold...

Well, I'll try again. The foam insulation around the elbow tube makes it difficult when it his up against the firewall. I'll eff around and find out!

Dillard, Haven't gotten to the fuel injector swap or PCV valve (yes, VERY difficult to remove all of the way. Firewall blocks complete removal), but replace fuel filter. Old filter has very dark fuel cone out of the IN side. No help, but now it's done. Dide Live Data scan on O2 Sensors. All were...

Dillard, I think I'm gonna have to eff around and find out. Taking of the plastic manifold will expose all that mess so I cam really be sure. Why they chose to put the PCV valve back there is the engineers fault for not thinking about routine maintenance. It's sure not maintenance friendly at...

Dillard, Just to nail down PCV valve location. Photo #1 shows drivers side manifold location. Is the PCV valve directly on the manifold (where the green release is?), or is it BEHIND the manifold (photo #2). Can't get a picture of it due to inaccessibility. Is the PCV valve a heated unit? If...

Dillard, I've been overdosing the gas with LUCAS Injector cleaner and fuel conditioner for the past several weeks for the initial misfire issue (without the bank lean issue), as a clogged/dirty injector or rail could have been the culprit. The misfire seems to be intermittent now, so an audible...

Dillard, Yes, it's a V6 SOHC. Thanks for the PCV valve location. Saw it, but yes, it's a tight squeeze back there against the firewall to remove it. Will check the other elbows for leaks. What are your thoughts about a #2 fuel injector problem. Thats the only cylinder misfiring on the left bank...

Had a #2 cylinder misfire (P0302) history. Recently got the truck, so replaced plugs & wires. Problem still existed, so I threw a coil pack at it. Same problem, but now I get a "Bank 1 System Too Lean" (P0171). Cleaned MAF sensor, no help. Searching for PCV. I know it's near the firewall on...

My blower motor only seems to run very weak on ALL switch settings. Verified power on plug at motor and can visually see squirrel cage spin when dropped and connected to power. Replaced blower motor resistor. Still only runs at very low speed with just a whisper of air from vents at all speed...

Blert, It's about an hour away from Casselberry, but I might as well take the drive. Recently bought the truck, and want to see how it does on the highway anyway. I grew up in Melbourne, so I'd be sort of in my old stomping grounds! What's the best way to contact you outside of this forum? I'm...

LOL.. Thanks! Sometimes I miss things like that! Will answer Blert! Thanks!

Todd, YES! It was all4 speakers that were fried for some reason! Very odd! Anyway, the new speakers sound great! Todd, It's about an hour away from Casselberry, but I might as well take the drive. Recently bought the truck, and want to see how it does on the highway anyway. I grew up in...

Blert, Hopefully it WASN'T flooded. There is actually no real sign that it was. The carpets are good, and when I pulled the door panels to change out speakers, there was no water line, or crap inside the door frame. It IS a 14 year old vehicle, and has been in Florida, especially on the East...

RR, Sounds interesting! Todd up above had mentioned the truck may have been in a flood. Thay may possibly be, but for water to reach the height of the speakers, especially the front ones, the flood must have been massive. I just know water probably was inside, as the support legs for the seat...

Todd, You may have something there! Exposed iron on undercarriage has a bunch of surface rust, but not too bad. I was thinking it was from salted roads up north. But the INTERIOR exposed metal, such as seat structures and exposed metal under dash have that same rusty appearance! This should not...

Well, hopefully tomorrow my new speakers arrive from Amazon. Will have to pull the door panels to replace them anyway. The radio install guy used a scanning tool to check for good wiring at each door. All have good wiring. No sense in testing the old speakers if new ones are going in. I may...
