Sn95 5.0 Engine Rebuild

  • Sponsors (?)


he wont look at anything like that .. he sais he did the ENGINE and thats all no sensors no OBD stuff he says thats all on me .. he is saying the sensors have to reset ... witch doesnt make sense since he had the batt. pulled witch resets everything

so my next stop is Tuesday taken it to a ford dealer and having them track down the OBD wire problem ... i just hope its NOT the computer ... if it is il call it and sell the car
 
You paid $5k for an engine rebuild which is now giving you problems...and the guy who did it won't look at it? Are you f'ing kidding me? It doesn't matter if he didn't "do" the sensors. He should try to diagnose the issue, at the very least. Not only did this guy fleece you for cash, he is now avoiding his responsibility to give you a working product with BS excuses. Personally, I wouldn't stand for that. I don't have the ability to drop $5k on something and just accept that I'm getting screwed. That being said, if you decide you are not going back to that shop and you really want to fix this car, then follow the checklists (which have worked for countless others). You can fix the problem yourself (or at least find the source) instead of continuing to throw money at it.

I sincerely wish you luck on this and hope you get it sorted out.

Brian, you did not watch this and you truly should have. The port under the dash does not work. It never did and never will. Your diagnostic port is on the pass side of the engine bay next to the shock tower. Watch the video. It shows you exactly how to run a diagnostic. You don't want to blast said shop and that's your prerogative. You can either roll up your sleeves and start doing this yourself or you can take it to the dealership which will have zero clue on how to work on your car. May as well take them a model T and ask them to diagnose that as well. Not going to happen.

sorry i really thought i watched that but didnt i guess .. that was my bad .. my brain has been fried ... thats why i couldnt find it i was looking at the drivers side and i could have sworn i saw the drivers fender in one of the pics .. going to have codes pulled from the correct spot


BTW why do they put the dummy plug in the car .. thats just stupid in my mind .. lol
 
Look. The fact is the car runs and drives. Whatever the issue may be is actually minor. Did you at least get an 11 when you pulled codes?
