[QUOTE="JTSturgell, post: 1054616, member: 78930"] My girlfriend’s son was driving her SportTrac. He was leaving an intersection when the Trac went into limp mode and started spewing “smoke” from under the hood. Could be smoke, could be steam-he didn’t know. He had it towed to a dealership. The technician found a faulty ECT sensor with a P0117 code and a #1 misfire with a P0316 code. The tech replaced the spark plugs, wires, and ECT sensor. Didn’t fix the problem. Compression test showed low on #1 and number four is “weak”. Tech recommends replacing engine with remanufactured. Do you have any thoughts on this? That feels like quite a jump to me. #4 cylinder wasn’t throwing a code. I think we should look at the head gasket? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks. [/QUOTE]
