Perhaps you should take your expedition to a mechanic so that he can look at the throttle configuration. Unless your husband knows how to do it. given that the engine keeps dying out I might think that the spark plugs have nothing to do with it. the problem might be the throttle. The engine might not be getting enough air and therfore dying or the sensor in there might have gone bad. most likly it is the adjusment screws that have to be re-set so that the throttle can stay open therefore allowing the engine to breathe. I would suggest taking the vehicle to a ford ealer or such place that is qualified to work on thier vehicles. good luck

We were able to find a similar problem when we looked at the F150 Forum. The IAC was clogged-taking it off and cleaning it with some carb cleaner worked miracles-No more problems and it's driving like new again
#53 of 1827 The only truck to buy by sansei Nov 05, 2002 (8:59 pm)
I've had a 93' Explorer, since given to my sister and it has 223,000 miles on it and it still hasn't had a major problem. It doesn't even burn any oil. I also have a 97' Expedition with 233,000 miles and again never a problem. I'm still getting about 14 mpg hwy/city. I'm expecting my new 03' in a few days and hope I have the same good fortune I've had with my past two.
#54 of 1827 1998 Expy, EB, SENSOR FOR AUTO LIGHTS? by roy12986 Nov 22, 2002 (9:15 pm)
Anyone know where the headlight sensor is on the 1998 Expedition, it controls my auto on lights?? They only come on when its dark enough. Trying to find where the sensor is located? Also can I change the fog lamp bulbs to another color like amber?? Anyone with suggestions. Thanks

The headlight sensor is dead center on the horizontal surface of the dash about 3" out from the base of the windshield. It is a round disc next the little rectangular grille.

The grumbling is probably the air suspension working to keep your truck at ride height. It should come on after you start the vehicle and 45 minutes after you turn it off. If you are not sure if you have the air suspension, look under the glove compartment. There should be an off/on switch.If you have the switch then you have the air suspension in your truck. You can also look under the rear of the vehicle. Hope that helps.

I just bought a used 99 EB Expedition. I normally wouldn't buy such a large vehicle, but I have 4 kids and needed the space. The author of msg#53 seems to have a method to the madness of controlling the beast. Please share your techniques. Also, does anyone know how I can get my hands on a manual. I barely know how to work lights and stereo. Also, I notice slight vibration when pressing brakes---I am not even sure if the vehicle has ABS. Who knows?
#58 of 1827 Won't Start Problem by grammycracker Dec 02, 2002 (9:23 am)
Our 98 Expedition will just up and die and will not start again. We've taken it to the Ford Dealer 8 times, its has cost me another $5,000 in parts and labor. Every computer module has been replaced the anti theft locks have been replace. The ford dealer says he can't figure it out. We travel back and forth from NH to IL and we were at a toll booth in OHIO and it just quit. The toll booth had to be shut down and we had to call a wrecker and have it towed to a ford dealership there and they can't tell us whats wrong. Any body have any suggestions???

pegramjm...i own a 99 Expy XLT with 48K miles. The vibration when braking is probably due to warped brake rotors due to heat. Just got mine replaced a couple of months ago. Notice the vibration will get stronger if you don't get it replaced soon. I believe all 99 Expy's came standars with ABS. As for the manual, check e-bay or your local auto parts dealer, unless you're looking for the original Ford manual.
