About 3 months ago my 03 sporttrac broke a lifter spring with 72,000 miles on it. I decided after much research to just put in a new crate engine. It has a new engine with new radiator, all new hoses, plugs and plug wires, fuel injectors, pretty much all new accessories that go with the motor.
My sporttrac has had that little rough idle that everyone has always talked about since the day it was new. had it diagnosed numerous times as others have with no codes.
SInce the new motor was installed it runs great, just like it did before, but still has that same little miss when idling. I've cleaned the IAC also.
THe question...do these motors have an overhead cam and could this just be the nature of the beast?
Is there anyone out there with this old of a sporttrac that doesn't have that rough idle?
THat miss has bugged me since I have owned the thing. :smile0003: Other than that I love it.
THanks!!!
