Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted April 8, 2014 I am not overly impressed with the chrysler products so far the mini van i have only has 142,000 miles and over the past year has cost me over 5 grand in repairs with the transmission, and all the other things that needed repaired it is in pretty good shape now i hope. On the other side of the coin the f150 is almost 20 years old with over a quarter million miles and probably not 500.00 in repairs in 3 years the old e150 has almost a half million miles but about gone with rust the windstar has only needed tires and maintenance so far but onky has 186,000 miles lol I've got the sable with 87000 that the only thing I can figure is the oil pump went out when the daughter drove it 3 hrs with the radio blaring (told the shop to let me know when they slow down to replace the engine). . . just replaced the engine in the beetle with 106000 . . . .not my year for cars - now dealing with a couple of issues with the 2005 lacrosse I got my daughter to replace the sable. not my year for cars or not spending money.

Just My Two Cents worth! i hope your right.. i'll find out tomorrow i'm going to try to put a new plug in and coil and see what happends Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JP Auto N Design 36 Posted April 9, 2014 It looks like someone put iridium plugs in and from what i can tell, anti-siezed the threads (no-no on the 4.6 & 5.4). The pre 2004's had less threads, which cause this problem. Get a plug with Nickel plated threads, no anti-sieze and torque to spec. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeeJaysPlace 476 Posted April 9, 2014 It's home safe and sound! The Sparkplug just vibrated lose I had to install a new coil for that one spark plug and a new spark plug! $48 Coil $3 spark plug + tax.. and i got it almost free! I have a buddy that is a manager at a parts store!, and He loves loves new stickers!
