I was thinking of naming mine Kevin! What do you think? :D UteP

Thanks again, So far MPG's been ~20mpg! Does resetting the CEL make a difference? Thanks, utep

Killer! Great photos, thanks to you I now know where it is at least! Let me see if I understand the issue though. All my P0325 code is telling me is my ECU is not getting a signal from one or both of my knock sensors. Could be sensor(s) or wiring or ???? (fuse?) From what I've gathered the...

Howdy, I have spent all evening investigating this issue here and one common is lack of power at 2500rpm and other performance issues; I have none. T4R is running excellent with 200K miles! What happened though was last week I got the P0171 CEL code that was my MAF and a cleaning fixed this...

Thanks, Fuel filter huh.... I have about 30K on mine. Thought they were good for longer than that but guess one tank of sludgy fuel would take care of that. I'll check wires too. Thanks, U

Howdy, 2000 4R Ltd 4x4 203K miles. Brand new battery with extra CCA's so it's not the battery. Engine turns strong but doesn't want to catch. A little gas and it fires up with a little burp. Been doing a lot of long hauls but did a real good tune up/cleaning in November. About 20K from...

Hi, Bumping this one back up top as I have more information! Reading the above thread you'll note I said the power block replacement did NOT work to fix mis firing door locks. Well it finally settled in after a while so maybe a wire shifted and short resolved? Who knows...BUT... I noticed it...

Thanks, every thing else works fine. The control valve moves freely and I get good heat by hand moving it. The "flap" or what ever that separates AC from heat seems to be working; I can hear that move. It's just the cable is not activated/moving. I see a couple of units under the glove box...

Yep, Got that worked out but would rather not have to pull over as temperature changes... UTeP

Howdy all, I have a 2000 4R Ltd. My climate control had been acting up for the past year but with enough patience I could get it to work. Recently I could not get it the heat to work not matter what. I used to be able to push buttons and eventually hear something move then heat. Then no noise...

Hi, Maybe someone stole the clips off of mine and it got warped but one day I went out and the outside door bumper panel was loose. Not only loose but even when I got it on it would hit the wheel well panel and be knocked off again! I can see no damage, nothing out of line... I noticed only...

Best free cosmetic trick.... Remove those grocery getter running boards! UTEP

I'm thinking this may be part of it.. Oddly it is working MUCH better but not completely solved. Seems to changed day to day for the better. It was flickering lock and unlock when I drive, a real frustration. Now it does not lock when I start driving, flicks once when I hit the lock button and...

Hi, My 4R has dark red that had a semi-burnt smell when I got it about 30,000 miles ago. As is suggested a power flush and fill was not recommended. I ended up drain and filling about 12-16 gallons of Valvoline MaxLife over about 2 months and now it's bright pick, fresh as a daisy and no...

Thanks, Blame may be one thing but it solved it in all the instances I read. I never read one thread where replacing the power block did not solve it, till now :/ Could have been contacts but I cleaned all those as well. The fact it changed and improved it some what is telling, perhaps the...
