Sorry about the pics. I just rescaled them and reuploaded them with the same pic names. I did check the thermostat housing as well with no issues.

Good evening fellow SportTrac'rs! It has been a while since I posted last, but you guys always have great suggestions on items I have issues with. So........here is the dilemma at hand for anyone that may be able to provide any assistance: I came out this morning to find a small amount of...

Happy Holidays everyone! I am posting as this site is always a wealth of knowledge and has always helped me track down the issues with my sporttrac. This have consisted of the infamous leaking intake gasket causing stalling/running rough in cold weather, the sticking iac, etc. I have had a...

Just had a question for any of the Sport Trac'rs out there about "Fords Owner Notification Program 00M12" I have been posting for the last two years trying to find a fix for my Sport Trac with rough idle in the cold weather and done quite a few things to try to fix this situation with no...

Wanted to thank everyone for their comments and suggestions and post the fix for my symptoms in case anyone has these issues in the future and is referencing this info. The IAC was dirty and I used Todd's step-by-step instructions he has listed to remove and clean it. The valve was sticking...

THanks to all. I am going to go in and clean the IAC and Throttle Body this weekend. A stuck IAC makes the most sense since the truck has no difficulty in running once the throttle is engaged and the IAC is disengaged, hence a stuck IAC sounds like the most likely cause. Any easy way to...

Greetings all. I posted a message yesterday about my Sport Trac not firing up and I appreciate all the responses back. I got a few more details yesterday that I think may narrow the results of what it could be, so figured I would give another post to see if anyone had any suggestions The...

Quick question for the SPort Trac folks out there. I have a 2001 Sport Trac with about 50k miles on it. I drove the vehicle home from the airport last night (40+ miles) and it was raining pretty hard. This morning when I went out to go to work, I cranked the truck and released the key before it...

Greetings again fellow Sport Trac'rs. I was hoping I may get a bit of someones expertise here. I had the infamous rough idle in cold weather and posted a few times over the last few months. I have taken all the suggestions and the truck still idles extremely rough only during cold startup. The...

Don't get too in to the show. The show itself is amazing, but they ran out of money and left you high and dry during the pinnacle of the series. Final episode was the best one and they never made another episode.

Hello. I was on last week discussing the rough idle likely caused by the PCV hose and/or the upper intake gasket. With regard to the PCV hose, I bought the 4L5Z 6758-HA hose assembly from Ford and printed out all of the documents from mysporttrac.com, but the issue was that my intake appears...

Thanks for the great info! I appreciate everyones help.

Just out of curiosity, how does an old gasket cause it to idle rough only when it is started in cold temperatures and then once it warms up (less than 10 minutes) goes away and doesn't cause any issues all summer in the warmer weather? Any idea how long it would take to change the intake...

Here is a photo of my engine. The oil filler is on the right side of the engine looking from the front (Drivers side). I also cleaned out the Mass air sensor a few weeks back, which seems to have prevented the P0171 and P0174 codes, but not the rough idle, or the P0300 code. [Broken...

Greetings fellow Sport Trac'rs. Just had a question for some of the knowledgable guys on the infamous "PCV elbow" with rough idle. I had noticed through some previous threads that there is the PCV elbow that goes bad and trips codes P0171, P0174, and P0300 (Lean banks 1, 2 and a misfire). My...
