Could be a bad starter, bad battery, bad alternator, fouled or burned plugs, clogged fuel injectors, dirty fuel filter, bad microchip, or combinations thereof. I'd start by removing the battery cables and cleaning the terminals and cable clamps with a weak solution of vinegar in water, then rinsing them off. Spray with WD40 and reassemble. See if that helps. If it doesn't, go on from there. Remember not to touch any part of the car or the other cable when handle the cables.

The Expedition is not properly firing, and the gas is building up. Check the timing as well as engine compression to find out why the gas is building up instead of burning.

It depends how you want to lift it, physically possible but hard, but you can buy a jack and put some suspenders under the truck and lower the jack, the suspenders will keep the truck lifted.


Having problems starting 1994 ford E-350 van diesel could not being able to plug it in cause this problem?

yes the cold weather will cause this.diesels are a problem to start if glow plugs are not working properly. if one glow plug is not working, it will shorten the cycling time and make starting hard. also not plugging i makes hard starting. i use a little squirt of starter fluid in the air intake when this happens. truck will start, then just let it warm up for about 5 minutes. PS: if outside temp drops below 55 , it will be hard to start.


What does it mean when you step on the gas and your truck shakes?

How long should a diesel engine warm-up before driving?

Usually you would let it warm up to 160 degrees f, and if run hard let the turbos cool down for at least 1 minute. My truck has a Cummins ISX in it. I warm the engine up by dumping the air out of the tanks before starting the engine, and letting it build pressure by idling. When the air is up to 110psi or so, it's ready. In shutdown, if you come off the interstate and pull into a truck stop, by the time you get to where you want to stop the truck, the turbo is spooled down. If I had something like a Cat 3406 or a Cummins Big Cam--an old tech engine--in my truck I'd idle for five minutes, but the ISX is designed to be shut down quickly.
