I have a 2003 Sport Trac 6 cyl XLS, not the flex fuel. Recently I've had two problems, I can't quite figure out.
1st, is a whine under the truck. High pitch. I hear it when the truck is in drive and i'm at a stop. If it happens when i'm driving, i'm not sure. I hear it when i'm at a stop light or at a drive through. If i put the truck in neutral the Whine goes away. It's very loud under the truck, but i can't quite find it.
2nd, The truck with a full tank of gas, at least the gauge said full, stalled while at an idle at a stop light, wouldn't start, acted like it was out of gas. On a whim, i pushed the emergency gas shut off switch under the dash on the passenger side, and it started. It's running okay now, but i'm worried it will happen again.
Does anyone have ideas? The economy isn't going to let me take this one to a mechanic to let them play with.
thx.
