Could be related to tuning up and wires coils could be the bad catalytic converter.

Do you have a blown head gasket? Just a guess. If you do this is one of the symptoms. You may have some coolant in your oil. Check your inside the valve cover for water by looking in through the oil cap.

SOURCE: air ride suspension 1997 ford expedition

If the compressor is working and actually pumping out air, might need to check your lines dont have a leak by disconnecting them from the bags. If pressured air is making it to the end of the line, then bags may need to be inspected and one or both replaced. However it is more likely that the lines are leaking or the compressor pump needs a service. Just a new set of rings in the unit. Good luck, hope it helps.

I would take the truck to an autoparts store and have the fault codes retrieved from the computer. Most stores will do the scan for free. I would lean toward a faulty throttle position sensor, but that's just speculation. The fault codes should narrow the problem down. Hope this helped and best wishes.

Ford Escort - 1997 car does not accelerate up hills. it revs if i am careful on flat up to 50mph but not past that? need to know what it possibly is and how it might cost asap? thanks

Look into exhaust, clogged cat conv. could cause that. Best way to test is a vaccum test on the intake. When exhaust is restricted the vaccum should go to 0 at the intake manifold while accelerating.

2003 Ford Expedition XLT acts like it is starving for fuel. It starts up just fine but once going down the road it then hesitates and wants to bogg down. It has a really hard time on an incline. What could...

You need to install new spark plugs every 70,000 miles

If that was done, then you have a worn out TPS Sensor,
and possibly a bad COP Igniton Coil as well

You will get 1 or 2 coils a year go bad

If it is just on hills, when you have a high vacuum load,
then check out the EGR Valve

Motor bogs down

You could possibly turn up the idle if it bogs down when idling. If it only bogs down when you press the gas it may be a clogged fuel filter or fuel line. Could also be your fuel pump starting to go if you ride with less than a quarter of a tank of gas most of the time.

I have 1997 ford expedition hose is leaking air at the other end of the pcv valve not the valve cover end . how do i fix this? i have a 5.4 engine > looks almost impossible to get to for repair.

I recently changed out all the plugs and coil packs on my 1997 expedition. After replacing them, the truck idles fine and revs fine but once it goes into gear it seems to way a million pounds. When I try to accelerate the rpms go up by the speed will only top out at about 20mph and the transmission will not seem to shift into the next gear easily, kinda jumps into gear. I found a hole in my pcv valve hose, I plan to replace it tommorrow. Could this cause my engine to bog down during acceleration and make it feel as if my transmission is going out?

I need a diagram of the air ride suspension on a 1997 ford expedition

the best thing for you to do is stop by your local ford dealership in the parts department and they be able to print you off the pictures and diagrams you need because i look in my 1997 to-2003 Expedition Haynes auto repair manual and there is nothing on the air ride so stop by your Ford dealership and you be able to get it wish you the best of luck Michigan Man.

Skips when going up hill(1999 ford expedition)

can be a number of things. if its only when going up hill may be a transmission or rear end problem.
if the problem is also in acceleration or kind of a bogging down it may be a firing problem like fuel injectors, plugs, wires, coil/distributor and rotor problem

Bog's down at acceleration

Check the O2 sensor wiring just above the right axle, sometimes it comes loose and rubs on the axle.
