1998 Ford E-150 engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Engine check illuminates. Brought to dealer four times, no problem found the first time, second time oxygen sensor and fuel filter were replaced at charge to me. Third time new flash (software)was burned. Forth time the pcv valve was found to be dislodged from the engine.
Vehicle proceeding and operating normally - engine cut out when decelerating to go into a turn - could have been a serious accident. Contacted local ford garage and they said no service bulletins on this.
While the engine idles it makes noise, motor replaced however noise persists.
A thermactor check valve failed, causing exhaust gases to burn a hole in A/C hose, allowing freon and refrigerant oil to spray onto the hot exhaust manifold, causing a fire. This happened to a24-passenger bus carrying 10 elderly wheel chair bound residents of a nursing home.
