Nash from United States a year ago
I found that the fuses at engine compartment. Were not making contact,Case by years prior to me washing the engine a number of times as we all do that inside underneath the fuses was where the water dirt collected and finally created shorts at this critical fuses for the instrument cluster gauges ex. Snd hours of tracing finding nothing, finally a final inspection when I pulled a fuse that was burnt but stocked across the surface and sure enough when open up the bottom it was more than 1fuse but many just waiting til it spark and stranded. In summary guys double any fuse box I. Engine on any vehicle, because they get a engine wash and I am finding 90,% it inside the fuse box is water moisture shorting out. You will be surprised when you open up to see your self and that the cas of many no crank no start (the macanic big kept secret)

White smoke is a very bad deal, you have a blown head gasket and needs to get fixed asap if you want to keep driving it. White smoke indicates coolent is getting into the oil

First time super cold, seemed fine, then hose clamp broke. Water drained, wait to cool, drive 5 miles home. Filled and started, all repaired, then “no crank” clicks under dash?
Elrod from United States 3 years ago
I’m assuming overheat-save engine, 4.6L shuts down, let cool, starts runs great-Park. Next day won’t crank? Just clicks, starter has power. Dash shows battery flash ‘red’ . Will not crank with keys.

What’s these codes mean?

Ford E-150 1997 4.6L v8 255000 miles
Can’t seem to figure out the issue. Starts and runs, sometimes bogs down when you go to take off. Going uphill, speeds slows down although hitting acceleration. But then will be fine on flat land. If I drive around for like 15-20 mins, shit it off to go into a store, it won’t start...
Changed the idle air control valve, sparks plugs and wires changed, Egr changed, no vacuum leaks we can find. Oxygen sensors changed.
