Had the car out early this afternoon running errands. Probably 1.5hr total drive without issue. I guess we will see.

JeremyH: Thanks for taking a look. With the thread trending toward oil pressure and VCT Solenoid/Cam Phasers, I was concerned by the low warm idle numbers. I'll take it out tomorrow and see if the issue occurs.

Update: Reseated sending unit and replaced filter with Motorcraft. Tech notes from yesterday: "Shaky needle at idle, a little better when warmed up, hearing a little lifter noise? exhaust tick? Needle shakes with noise. At idle, cold: 60-82, 76-82 at 2000rpm. At idle, warm: 20-55, 65-72 at...

Skwerl, I'm doing my best here...

Minor update with potentially relevant question. First, had the oil pressure tested today but unfortunately I don't have the numbers available to me right now, Mostly looked spec, roughly 75 psi, peaked to 90 during start but I do know that there was one reading ~ 2000 rpm when warm where the...

Car hasn't been driven since the pump install, post knock failure. Currently waiting on relays and FPDM... Arriving around end of week. Also going to clean the SJB connectors with anti-corrosion spray and some brushing. Oil Pressure can be checked as well, probably Thursday or Friday.

Not the fuel pump... Installed the Walbro yesterday and it (power loss while driving) happened today - only without the whine or knock. So the whine was the pump but I don't yet know why. FPDM is apparently being shipped via bicycle courier because it won't be here 'til Thursday. Could this...

I truly hope that's not the case, I hadn't financially planned to work on cams and such until mid-March... I've already invested in the pump/FPDM so I should have some additional insight tomorrow.

I ordered a Walbro pump that arrived today, but I know next to nothing about the Driver Module so I'll have to read up on that. Thanks for weighing in! Edit: Turns out they're pretty easy to come by. Picked one up on eBay for $30... If I need it, cool, if not? Parts box.

Hello, For me this is something of an emergency - especially with Christmas being three weeks away - so any help you can provide will be appreciated. Today during morning commute driving roughly 40mph, I heard a high pitched noise which sounded like a small turbine spinning down, then...

I asked a similar question recently: https://www.s197forum.com/threads/2011-led-color-match-question.135313/ It seems the OEM mcd is really low. Much lower than you would expect really; less than 300 at full illumination. That said, I've still not moved forward on my own LED adventure...

That was the thought, but swapping them did nothing.

Original Harness: New Cruise Input Wires: Current Splice: LED's function, indicating red/black-red/green success, but the other two? Nothing...

Sadly not until I go back in. If memory serves we didn't have a white wire at all.

I got caught up on the wiring... My 2008 doesn't have the same color wires and I've been unable to find a pinning diagram. I've got hands-free and audio working like a champ, but nothing from the cruise control side of the wheel. Any insights?
