    Xcal Question

    Not sure what category to put this question in... and it's probably a pretty dumb question to those in the know, but I'll ask anyway... I've thought of purchasing an Xcal for a while now, but have concerns about shortening the life of the vehicle. Does using a performance tune or torque...

    Can't Believe It

    At a station just north of town here (Dayton, OH), gas is <b>$1.00</b> a gallon... :o Never thought I'd say that again in my lifetime.

    Not Sure How to Remedy This...

    Have had this issue ever since installing the K&N CAI back in March... asked about it back then but don't remember getting a definite answer... Every time I start my ST after it has been parked for more than 3-4 hours (like every morning or after the workday), I get a BIG engine surge (like...

    Stalling Issue Solved (Hopefully!)

    It's been some months since I've posted on my Trac's stalling issue. I'm posting this update in hopes that someone with the same issue will find it, read it, try it, and it will work for them. If you'll remember I tried just about everything recommended here on the site. I did all the...

    To Mod... LAST Stalling Update

    I sure hope (as I'm sure many here do too... ;)) that this is my last message on the stalling troubles my ST has had. After replacing several parts, doing nearly all the cleanings and treatments, and going a month with no troubles, stalling began anew a couple of days ago after a fill up...

    To Mod Or Not To Mod... Stalling Update

    Just about everyone has read about my stalling woes... well, there's some good news at last. Today marks one whole month stall-free. What fixed it for me? After all the multiple cleanings, treatments, and part-swapping, a new IAC appears to have done the trick. Just cleaning it didn't. I...

    Anyone here re-geared their ST? Likes? Dislikes? Advice?

    Anyway, I'm hoping to have mine done once I get the stalling issue worked out. Mine has the 3.73 gear ratio, and is a slow dog from a dead stop. :( Don't know whether to go with the other standard ST ratio (4.10) or with something higher... I think Todd Z. recommended 4.56 posi to someone...

    Calling Tyler, XST, Adam, and Others with Mystery Stalling Issue(s)

    Hey Tyler, XST, Adam and anyone else with (or who had) a mystery stalling problem: Your Tracs have all had (or still have?) the same problem mine has now... the mystery stalling problem that no amount of cleaning, part replacing, and diagnosis can seem to locate or fix. My question is...

    Finally Did It

    Well, I finally gave in and took my Trac to the shop, because I had the sputter/stall syndrome AGAIN on three different trips today. :( The mechanic that will work on my truck was very conscientious and asked a lot of questions, many about the common fixes we often recommend here on the...

    Sputtering Again

    It hadn't happened since May 7, but it happened again this morning. I'd just dropped off my daughter at school, and as I slowly pulled away, the sputtering began. I probably could have accelerated through it until it smoothed out, but I left my foot where it was for a second, and then eased off...

    IAC part number?

    Okay, I'm confused... please forgive me if this is a "duh" question. I'm kinda new at this stuff, so it's entirely possible I'm about to make a fool of myself... :blink: I'm trying to track down the right IAC for my truck, an '02 ST made in May of that year. According to the Motorcraft...

    Stalling/Sputtering Issues (AGAIN) ...

    Many thanks to all who have chimed in on my Trac’s stalling and sputtering issues. As mentioned before, I’ve tried just about every fix and cleaning listed on the site, and I’m still trying others’ suggestions. I’m certainly no expert when it comes to vehicles. Much of this stuff...

    Anyone know...

    ...if a pair of stock nerf bars from a 1998 Explorer Sport would fit on my '02 Trac without drilling? A guy here in my area has some, and I'm interested, but would rather not drill if I can avoid it. Any expert guidance is much appreciated...

    A Couple of Problems...

    Don't know where to start... my optimism goes up and down with this truck (02 two-wheel drive). I can hear the IAC thump, usually two times, whenever the idle gets low. The truck acts like it wants to stall. Is the idle too low? I know spec is 675... just looking at the dash tach (I...

    Thanks Todd Z. and All Site Folks

    Many, many thanks to Todd Z. for being so accommodating and for spending precious time talking through issues with a complete newbie... :) Also, many thanks to all who contribute to this site. I've saved countless cash by finding and fixing issues rather than placing myself at the mercy...

    Looking for Used Items...

    I'm looking for the following gently used items for my '02 ST if anyone out there has 'em and wants to sell. Please forgive and advise me if I'm breaking some sort of posting protocol... * Zabteck TB for 01'-05' (wanted Devin's but he sold the whole truck; good for him, bummer for me...) :D...

    Quick/Easy Question for Todd Z.

    Hey Todd Z... I seem to remember a post (with pics) you did about removing an unnecessary hose from the engine... I've searched for that post but can't find it. Can you help? Any guidance is much appreciated...

    Out of Answers - Please Help!

    I've done just about every project recommended on the site to correct engine troubles. They keep coming back. Wish I knew what I'm doing wrong... :wacko: Right now, the engine hesitates, sputters, and stalls while I'm driving. I shift it down into neutral and start it again... usually...
