1999 Ford Expedition EB 4WD 5.4L Sputter Shutter on Load Heavy Acceleration
1999 Ford Expedition EB 4WD 5.4L 200K sputters and shutters under load
/ heavy acceleration, low or high RPM's. Normal driving 1/3 peddle and
under 2K RPM's NO sputter or shutter. Initially told misfire Bank 2
suggestion was to replace COP's and injector O-rings. Replaced all spark
plugs, COP's and injectors. Starts instantaneously now and more
responsive but still shutters and sputters under load. Suggestion to replace
TPS, MAF and fuel filter since it had 200K on it and nothing had been
replaced since new so I replaced all. Still shutters and sputters but now
notice it runs a little rough at idle and the exhaust smells weird not like gas
just something I've never smelled before. Suggestion of possible vac leak,
have sprayed carb cleaner, brake cleaner and starter fluid all around can't
fine anything, Starts immediately cold or hot, cold IAC has it at 980 RPM's
then settles to 600 RPM's. Never surges. Drove around for about an hour
trying to get it to throw a code P1132 and P1152, Sensor 1 for bank 1 & 2 ,
LACK OF H2OS11-NOT SWITCHING - RICH assuming this means LEAN
(no O2) condition from what i've read. Suggestion was test the fuel
pressure and regulator. 30 psi at the rail, 35 psi with new fuel filter engine
running. Removed vac hose from regulator jumps to 40 psi. Engine off,
ignition off, psi drops to 0 in a couple of minutes. Never holds pressure
once off. Q: shouldn't line hold pressure within 5psi when pump is off? Also,
Is the fuel pump working just not enough when fuel demand increases.
