The same thing happened to my 5.3. Turns out the number 6 intake lifter “separated “ from the barrel. Do you feel the need to replace both sides of engine? Odd side and even side. Or just replacement of one side is enough. Thanks

Was it slow start after engine warms up or cold starting. I have an 89 sbc slow start only after it warms up. I've tried everything but a new starter. It is a total rebuild

Same engine. Just p0171. Any suggestions? No vacuum leaks. Used a smoke machine. LS swap.

Thank you for an excellent video, it was a great help to me!

Very good Job 👍 .

Anyone know what under hood light hes using? Looking for a nice plug in like that. Thanks!

2015 Yukon here, started to get bumpy idle and rough low RPM driving. Noticed my oil pressure was only 20lb at idle. I suspicioned the AFM lifter fail issue because I've hated that system since I learned that it existed in my engine. Stupid insane idea to build something as destructive into an engine. I immediately got a Range Technology AFM disabler as soon as I bought the vehicle with 140K on it. It now has 220K and the rough idle just started at 220K. As a diagnostic I put 10/30 oil with Lucas additive in it rather than the GM recommended 5/20 "watery oil" viscosity. Brought the pressure up to 40lb like it should, apparently making the lifters work better, and the idle is almost normal now. It's been suggested to me by a mechanic it could be the lifters or might be an O-ring on the oil pickup tube lowering the pressure and making the (already somewhat damaged) lifters work badly.

Thank you sir! Very helpful. No need to edit! lol-

mine is leaking from the gaskets, where it had the rubber lines replaced. now, I have to replace both gaskets. It leaks after being driven.

I sub just bc of that bike

I love mine man but hers is so beautiful

Thank you Ron I believe I have the same problem. So its not really worth getting it smogged correct?

I have an 06 and mine has oil saturation on the outside of the hose and I have those exact codes, could that brake booster hose be my problem if it has oil on the outside of the hose?

I got a 08 6.2 with this code it shut off on my mechanic has put all types of parts on it chuld this be my issue

Omg. Never buy this car. They are completely junk

Before you all go taking apart the dash or glove box make sure you go under the hood and check the vacuum lines!

THe suspense at the end wow. No hole!

I blew one at 108k....had the mans tap a new thread set with a kit like this one. I think itbwas either cross threaded by me or put back in the way i took it out, euther way what i think factors in a lot is human repair errors. If another one goes i told my mechanic we will go ahead and do the other 7!

Great! This was very helpful 🫂

Hmmm, pay a $1000 or lock them open on an almost 10 year old car. What to do, what to do? I don’t need to flip a coin on this one

Question.. Can a bad fuel injector shut off that whole bank? Really hard to start due driver side bank not working, if i manage to get it stated after like 20 mns that side bank starts to work fine and i can drive it

Thank you I think this what going on with my 2016 ford fusion. With 50k miles on it. Great for life in Montana but in Az wtf lol. No one at autozone or ford knows about this it seems like. You get my like subscribe and comment for this ty.

I have installed this product on my 2001 7.3 and I bent the wires so they would stay away from gasket simply pushing wire is not enough because wire tension can push it back where you don't want it. Did my gaskets about 5 years ago 2019.

Thank you! As others have said, this is the only video I've seen on removing lower ball joints with rivets.

Ron - Many thanks for your tutorial on new belt routing sequence. Out of all videos posted of this procedure, your is the most efficient!

Good video. Much appreciated sir.

Best video I have ever seen.Sir you are a real mechanic and A even Better Teacher.Thanks for breaking down Afm to the Max!

I have short term zero and long term %25. That means I have vacuum leak too or maybe something else because I have P0068& P0106 on my mercedes benz C250

Thanks Ron for all your Tips!!!

Ron, What do you charge to install a calvan per cylinder?

If the engine has over 200k miles on it is it more likely it will not develop this issue?

I wish I lived near you, I'd have you do my truck in a heartbeat. Since I'm in Va I'll have to do it myself. Thank you for the wonderful video. 😊

When you find the air leak and fix it how do you get rid of the permanent code?

Step one throw doorman intank in the trash step two spend the extra money on a ford unit

Has anyone encountered this issue happening while the tranny is downshifting awkwardly going up hill. It was 96 degrees and sunny going up a 7% grade. Only time it has happened so far.

Thank you! I’ve been trying to fix my 05 Mercury Mountaineer with this same issue for the last 4 months! The Arizona summer has been brutal! This was incredibly helpful and exactly what had happened to my max ac panel.

Mine failed in a month, wire covering split.. very handy.. Dorman is pure garbage. Thanks for the Video Ron!

Please help I need the kit

Your years are off on the IDI motor

Thanks for making this video, love the info! One question i do have is there a certain HP/TQ level where you recommend upgrading to the Deco Case?

Thanks for the episode. Very informative. Support from South Australia 🇦🇺

I went through 4 intake manifolds on my Ford Expedition 5.4L in 3 years, then found out that my mechanic was only using Dorman intake manifolds. The last time I needed one, Motorcraft was on strike with a 5 month backlog, so I had no choice. It works fine until I have to go up in elevation, from Phoenix 1,000 ft above sea level, to 7000 ft in northern AZ. I'm going to replace it with a Motorcraft as soon as I can get one.

You are so right.. 😊I just had a blown spark plug on my 2001 4.6 Ford f150. So your trolls don't know what they're talking about. 😮

Good video!!!

It's because it's a FORD.

Nice video!

That 3.8 2007 i guess i have JK 2012 3.6 still issue with ac chnaged the evep also keep hot airflow couldn't find the issue can bee TXV valve??

Very smart!

Hello Ron, i am working on a 09 4.6L Intake is there any solutions to permanently plug the stupid rubber cap at the rear of the passenger side. yes Dorman problem but cant get a Ford OEM Intake anymore

You saved me a lot of diagnostic time. Thanks!
