I'd always go with the recommended mortocraft plugs. But I get it money I's tight for everyone right now. But I'd highly recommend staying away from autolites for these engines, denso are great plugs. Always go with platinum or iridium plugs with these engines depending on the year of the motor. These are great tips you gave here! I
ohhh yes no way around that get those motorcraft... I should have had some laying around spark plugs... modular guys should always have that...Denso cost a lot man lol ... Motorcrafts are the way to go...
Brother, you know I got you on those Lincoln druthers - druther see you with that Lincoln. I'm thinkin the way old one is like a late forties Chevy, but, I could be out there - oh, speakin on - that's a generator not an alternator, generators still produce power with a dead battery, alternators don't, generators use permanent magnets which makes it charge with a dead battery but the output is limited by the same thing, alternators use electro-magnets, so they need electricity to make electricity but they have WAY higher output - they'll go full output just off idle if need be. Way back to up front - always check cheapest parts/simplest parts first - always. Autolite is owned by Fram filters - how much, you know, spark plug lives in the same house, like none. Autolite plugs are like Champions, they're perfect in the lawnmower, anyplace else not so much. Motorcraft in the the Ford, even ACs (I know) to get by, but no eFFing Autolites or Champions. Stay on your game little brother, you're winning!
yeah i should have known better, but i needed the plugs like right then.... I agree with Motorcraft only lmao... These Denso I had to put in cause i was not going back to the autolite deal ( thats what autozone carries ) ... Now the old ride a Chevy huh... and thats game on the generator deal... make sense do to the times having that system. I will have to revisit that Chevy again I like how it looked engine wise... This was a good class today Big Brother...
@@bstfordchannel923 Well, you know, it's out there. If it works for you that's golden cuz I seen it, but you're ALWAYS free to fly another, what's out there just might not fit for you - and I'm good with that. It's just what I got, and if some does you good, I'm happy!
@BST Ford Channel BST!!! How we looking. So we are looking for 02-04 4v heads. If it's an 01, we would need to see them. They could be early 02. They. Will fit on your block given on where it was made. and they flow much better. We're just saying. Also, J is sorry he did not make more comments on your video. Here is what I'm thinking. Who is in better shape. The white or the black. You have 2 shells and 2 motors. But you also have a better chassis with the black one. (Front end). I know you did a tone of work on the white one. But what's better in the long run. 🤔 peace, my friend and stay well.
Thanks for the info. No codes and tight on money you have to start with the cheapest fix first. Spark plugs and if that doesn't fix it then start trying to figure it out.
We're ALL "tight on money" -- all day, every day. 😁 It makes no sense to just change the spark plugs as a "starting point" in your search for a "No Codes" problem. The most common "No Codes" problems are fuel-delivery related; such as fuel pressure regulator malfunction, dirty fuel injectors, clogged fuel filter, weak fuel pump, etc. The time to "figure it out" is BEFORE you spend any money !! For instance: You replace all 8 spark plugs, and the problem is still there -- you already spent what money you had on spark plugs, but it didn't help. WHAT do you do NOW !??
just a tip the usual thing to do is change the plugs. then check for compression followed by a leak down test. this just assures you didnt hurt your engine. stuck valve carbon and bent valves will cause a car to miss. i suggest a bore scope to see what you got goin on from there. sometimes its just a mouse havin lunch on your wires. why they love wires is beyond me but they can make havok on your car
A 1999 Grand Marquis has no OBD code to indicate an fuel injector's electrical connection has failed. Misfire can also come from a fuel injector failure. I have a 1999 Grand Marquis. An injector electrical connector had somewhat slipped out of its socket because the connector release tab had broken off. Not noticing this issue with the broken release tab, I'd check and later replace that cylinder's coil pack and would inadvertently press on injectors electrical connector which would temporarily reestablish connection. The engine would run perfectly for a while until vibrations again would disconnected the injector. Very frustrating. Finally noticed the issue when the process of elimination led me to consider the fuel injectors as a source of misfire. Realizing how to disconnect the injector's electrical connection revealed the problem behind the issue.
oh yes can be that also , but the scanner tool will tell you bad injector or connector on the newer vics.. Very common that connection goes.. we have to be mindful of everthing like you stated.. The cars are old and wiring does not last for ever.. Great comment Rusty
Chuck could have asked lol... Cheap china camera $60 thieye t5 then the other is Lumix something somthing .. I really know little about that camera .. I am still learning
he wasn't asking for him LOL He's always complaining that my video and sound quality suck and praises yours. I just did that video the other day testing a bunch of cameras and really not happy with any of them and that's when he said that you use a cheap "gopro" knockoff like the ones I was testing. I can't get any of them to record decent audio. My Panasonic (the top of the line 2009 camcorder) does great audio but it's 2009 video quality.
I keep having PCM issues. First one fried. Second one has a pin issue. That throws phantom purge/egr codes. And the last one phantom P2135 code. Like you, I get everything from the junkyard. So I assume that's the problem. And yes, I rewired the whole damn engine too.
Some cars just have the bug brother it sucks, but the knowledge on how to fix is key... I wish i has wisdo to pass to ya.. Whithout the car in front of me I really cant tell how to repair this... Happy Holidays Kevin to you and yours
Motorcraft plugs. Dielectric grease to prevent corrosion. And ecm is probably at the end of its service life. (15 years+/-) capacitors wear out . intakes are a problem..
My 5.4 started missing replaced coils and plugs. Stopped miss for 2 days. No code. Ran it till almost dead.lol. finally a code show catalytic converter restriction.
I have a 08 crown Victoria was missing changed the plugs n went straight into limp mode so I changed the coil paks still in limp mode no throttle response
This never even shown a Code... Now back to white vic it shows tons of Codes ( no misfire codes ) this si the issue I am having still have not found the problem yet
Hey BST. Since I’ve had my latest 06 I’ve been battling leaking fuel injectors. The Oring on the injector bulges out of the fuel rail and starts leaking. It has been a problem since day 1. I keep doing new Orings and bending the fuel rail tabs trying to get it straight. Do they have retainer clips for these anywhere? On the good side, I can do a bank of injectors in under 15 min.
yes i have had that trouble with them also the o-ring is to fat... is the black or blue... you have to lube them a litle and try it again... Thats happens and i hate it
Good Morning BST, I'm wanting to put some of the flat style police car rims like you have on your daily driver CVPI, My CVPI is a 2001 model with the deepdish(concave)steel wheels, I'm wondering would I need wheel adapters or spacers to put the 2003 to 2005 CVPI black steel wheels on my 2001?😊❤👍
I have a 2010 NM State Police Interceptor that has the steel wheels and they fit on my 2004 LX Sport just fine, and very sharp looking with the chrome ring and center cap... Here's what my car looked like in service. images34.fotki.com/v1212/photos/4/49373/1859178/cnpca13640-vi.jpg
Hey quick question, I'm still trying to diagnose the noise on my crown vic before I bite the bullet and pull the Trans. Is the torque converter on a civi crown vic supposed to be able to slide back far enough for the studs to come completely out of the flex plate? I tried on mine but it wouldn't quite go back enough. I swore they were supposed to be able to clear completely, like SBC's torque converter can.
bootleg fr500 with a custom poweder coat.. They dont conme in this color... This rim or rims where pitted chrome... I had strip them ( grind them ) and really put work in to them to look like this
they use 4 doors as parts cars that car was robbed of everything they needed and its a shame. because no one is keeping the 4 doors and eventually theyll be none left to see
lmao I will pray for both of us... Its just been hard right about now lol.... I will have to give you a ring and tell ya whats going on... Its just crazy
On my buddy's 1999 GT I had to use a thin wall spark plug socket. My 2000 Grand Marquis had no problem with my 30 year old, regular wall socket. No fuel rail removal required.
the parts you can get for that old school motor is insane. have you ever considered a t bucket build?? flat head motor or something simple like that. a ford straight 6 would be epic in one.

I feel ya you made off, but I think MSD are better I have ACCELs but i never ran the car hard enough yet... The best ones are motorcraft HR...They call me CHEAP and a Junkman its a tough man its tough..
MSDs are Def the best for performance. I will go with those once I decide whether I am going to run a 5.4 2v or 4v. I'm not sure yet. The 4v parts are crazy expensive. The cams I've looked up are like $1800. Man that's mad crazy lol. I feel ya tho, I LUV the junk yard. I like to just pay my 2 bucks and walk around. Even with no tools in hand. But they will be in the car just in case lol. I like to just walk and look at history. Each car has a story. Who loved it enough to buy it.

That is Def true. I have thought about a 6.0l or a 6.2l. For a few thou I could get 4 to 500 horses. With a 4.6 or 5.4 to work it right I figure it's around 10 grand or so. That with a forged bottomed end.

you want different ok heres different. source a 302 block then 351 heads. a good cam and those heads and youve got a boss 302 engine pushing about 450 hp. these are stock over the counter parts. 1970s boss 302 cam and lifter to a block. add domed pistons and molly rings and your pumpin up the hp and compression with a side of torc. higher the compression the higher octane gas you need. now you might be able to take the 4.8 rods and put them in the 4.6 and bump up the compression. you have to make sure it dont hit the top end at all. i dont even think anyones tried to up the compression on a 4.6
