    Your daughter is adorable. Just finished intake gasket job trying to fix high LTFT (vac leak). There are NO vac leaks anywhere and now have the P0401 code along with high LTFT numbers. When I did have the manifold off, everything was coated with gunky oily shtuff. Also, while the engine idles, I can here a hiss that is no where to be found. Going outside to replace the EGR and then the solenoids if that doesn't do the trick. Little story behind my truck. It is a cheap CList junker that has me addicted to getting it back to perfect. No shop is going to touch this truck. Want to do it all by myself no matter how long it takes.

    That's a good idea to clean the throttle system. Usually with older vehicles such as the F150 and/or Expeditions the EGR valve doesn't open all the way to allow fuel in. Chances are it'll run for a while then the code will possibly come up again. I simply replaced the valve itself and the control switch. One thing about the larger vehicles with vacuums and solenoids,,, you'll almost end up replacing the whole system due to the age of the vehicle.

    Very helpful. Did you have to replace gaskets or can you reuse? If replace, how much were they? Also, Did you have any rough idling issues before. My 2002 F150 seems to have some small idling issues prior to the P0401 code. Thanks.

      James Weimar thanks for checking out the video. I was able to reuse the original gaskets since they didn’t get messed up taking everything apart. I would imagine they wouldn’t be but a few bucks a piece. I did have some rough idling before hand.

    What were the driveability problems you were experiencing before the video. My F-150 is a 5.4 1998 model, and idles fine, but misses as you go above idle. No codes yet; only an indication that the Evap system has a problem. Misplaced my good scanner that gives me the Mode 6 info. Thanks for making this video - very helpful.

    I have the same model, but from '98.
    How difficult/frustrating is it to remove that part? And about how long to do so, clean, and re-attach it? My engine light cones on at random moments, but the PO401 is the only code I get. It must need a cleaning.
    I'm the second owner of my truck. The previous owner, a old man in his late 70s, took good care of it, but never replaced parts. I've already had to replace the waterpump. I can't imagine this being more difficult than that.

    • @ErnestPreas
      @ErnestPreas  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It wasn’t very difficult probably took an hour or two. However I will say that after I had solved that problem I ended up eventually getting another code P1406 DPFE downstream hose off. I checked the two hoses that ran to my egr and they were gummed up severely. That completely solved my issue. No problems at all after that. I have a video on that as well. I would check those two hoses. Most likely they are gummed up. Engine code P1406 fixed!!! Is the title.

      I had to end up changing my DPFE hoses that go to the egr valve. At first this worked however I ended up getting a different code which told me I either had a downstream hose disconnected or clogged. After checking I realized the hoses were completely clogged with emissions gunk. I did another video on that as well you could check out. It may be the problem your having as well.

      Dean Nutz thanks for checking out the video. That particular code never came back however I ended up getting another code which was P1406 (downstream hose off) In which I had to replace the downstream hose. There were actually two hoses that are side by side that needed replaced. They were completely blocked by emissions crud that was preventing flow big time. I have a video on how to replace those as well if you would like to check that out also. I would check those hoses also because my downstream hose was completely blocked. That totally fixed that code and I haven’t had an issue with it since. Replacement hoses were probably 20-30 bucks at most if I remember correctly. Might have been less than $20
