Re: 32v 5.4L Lincoln Navigator Cylinder 8 Misfire, Liquid in the Dwell, Stumped. Hel Well it's funny, it doesn't trip the CEL and they come and go. I have the Torque app and I'll scan one time and some weird codes will be there, then I hit refresh and they're gone.

Re: 32v 5.4L Lincoln Navigator Cylinder 8 Misfire, Liquid in the Dwell, Stumped. Hel Well it's back together and running, pretty nicely actually. I'm surprised :). I moved the cyl 8 coil up to cyl 5 and I'm getting a pending fault code on that one. I think all this time of shorting it...

Re: 32v 5.4L Lincoln Navigator Cylinder 8 Misfire, Liquid in the Dwell, Stumped. Hel If only I had asked more simple questions before stripping the truck down as far as I did :mad2:

Re: 32v 5.4L Lincoln Navigator Cylinder 8 Misfire, Liquid in the Dwell, Stumped. Hel I buttoned up the cowl and wire harness cover and laid a towel over the coil cover. When I finished watering the truck this is what I found. Taking into account the messed up coil cover seal back...

Re: 32v 5.4L Lincoln Navigator Cylinder 8 Misfire, Liquid in the Dwell, Stumped. Hel I think I'll put it all back together and then maybe take it through the car wash with a towel placed over the area, see if I get any drips.

Re: 32v 5.4L Lincoln Navigator Cylinder 8 Misfire, Liquid in the Dwell, Stumped. Hel I ran the windshield washer a couple of times to see if it was dripping. The line i dry but I watched where the water ran down the cowl after and maybe there is something here? Under the cowl, right over...

Re: 32v 5.4L Lincoln Navigator Cylinder 8 Misfire, Liquid in the Dwell, Stumped. Hel The clearance between the EGR adapter and the firewall is keeping me from getting in there. The angle is too tight for any of the swivels I have.

Re: 32v 5.4L Lincoln Navigator Cylinder 8 Misfire, Liquid in the Dwell, Stumped. Hel Man I'd love to, but I'm not sure I can get my EGR adapter off of the upper intake. I tried last night and even with a 1/4" drive I can't get a socket down onto the bolts. Any suggestions for that? I'm...

Re: 32v 5.4L Lincoln Navigator Cylinder 8 Misfire, Liquid in the Dwell, Stumped. Hel Look at the gasket for the lower intake, it looks like there may be some coolant crossovers on the front and back but I don't see how it could get from there to my plugs...

Re: 32v 5.4L Lincoln Navigator Cylinder 8 Misfire, Liquid in the Dwell, Stumped. Hel I'm not sure coolant flows through on this one, but I'm pretty sure it does on the 2v. http://www.ford-trucks.com/how-tos/a/ford-f150-f250-how-to-repair-a-leaky-manifold-361734...

Re: 32v 5.4L Lincoln Navigator Cylinder 8 Misfire, Liquid in the Dwell, Stumped. Hel It's that way on the 2v 5.4l as well. This one is all metal, so I don't have that problem. I read another thread one time about how my lower intake manifold gasket is reusable and plastic, and that over time...

Re: 32v 5.4L Lincoln Navigator Cylinder 8 Misfire, Liquid in the Dwell, Stumped. Hel That was the plan, until things started not lining up. This is a very common issue for the 16v 5.4l engines and I didn't know how different they were until I started on it. The metal tube was a...

Re: 32v 5.4L Lincoln Navigator Cylinder 8 Misfire, Liquid in the Dwell, Stumped. Hel There aren't any drips under the car, but there is a little bit of coolant loss over time. I'm going to take the upper plenum off since there are only two blots left and the upper gasket set includes it, but...

Re: 32v 5.4L Lincoln Navigator Cylinder 8 Misfire, Liquid in the Dwell, Stumped. Hel I've read some more trying to picture in my mind how this can happen on this engine. I see how the water/coolant can get in there on the 2 valve engine but I can't see it from a leaking intake on this engine...

Re: 32v 5.4L Lincoln Navigator Cylinder 8 Misfire, Liquid in the Dwell, Stumped. Hel Alright, I'm working my way through the teardown. I have the rear part of the upper intake off and most of the bolts for the rest of the upper off. What's the easiest way to get the two by the EGR off...

Re: 32v 5.4L Lincoln Navigator Cylinder 8 Misfire, Liquid in the Dwell, Stumped. Hel It's finally time to replace the gasket for the intake manifold. For some time now the car has been doing great with just the occasional blowout of the spark plug hole when the misfire would appear but I'm...

So over a year ago or so my mom's Navigator started throwing a P0308 misfire code. I pulled the coil and boot out and the boot was wet. After some research I found out is was a somewhat common issue, but that if you just kept blowing it out, it would be fine until it filled up again. So...

Re: Swear words, signing my life away, drill, paperwork, paperwork, and more paperwor Thank you. I like to know a little about a lot of things. Now if I could just pick one and do it long enough to make a career of it I'd be doing good. Being on the track and then having it taken away...

Re: Swear words, signing my life away, drill, paperwork, paperwork, and more paperwor I'm looking forward to it. I just hope I can avoid making the stupid 2Lt. mistakes :yes: I am thankful for the fact that, unlike AD, I'm not having to compete for a plane. Things are much for fun when...

Re: Swear words, signing my life away, drill, paperwork, paperwork, and more paperwor I think I'd prefer to be like the two from our unit who became astronauts(or shuttle pilots) rather than President. Assuming we get a space program in the next 20 years.
