ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL
I HAD TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY VAN. I TOOK THE VAN TO THREE DIFFERENT SHOPS. ALL SHOPS SAID THAT THERE WAS A DEFICIENCY PROBLEM WITH SPARK PLUGS 6 AND 1; ALSO, ALL THREE SHOPS SAID THAT THE SOLENOID NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND I HAD TO REPLACE IT TWO TIMES (I HAD TO SPEND ABOUT $260.00 EACH TIME I HAD TO REPLACE IT.) I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE EGR TWO TIMES AS WELL (I HAD TO SPEND ABOUT $70 EACH TIME I HAD TO REPLACE IT.) I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE FOUR TIMES THE SPARK PLUG CABLES (I HAD TO SPEND ABOUT $35 EACH TIME I HAD TO REPLACE IT.) I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE FOUR OXYGEN SENSORS (I HAVE THE OLD ONES AND HAD TO SPEND ABOUT $50 FOR EACH.) I HAS GO TO AUTOZONE THEE TIMES TO BORROW THE COMPUTER TO TRY TO GET THE CODES (BY THE WAY, IT GAVE ME THESE CODES: 401 AND 406); EVERY TIME I HAD TO BORROW THIS COMPUTER I HAD TO HAVE $90 SO THAT AUTOZONE COULD LEND ME THE COMPUTER. I HAD TO TOW MY VAN THREE TIMES, THIS FOR A TOTAL OF ABOUT $350 (BY THE WAY, I SAVED MONEY ABOUT THREE TIMES BECAUSE I HAD FRIENDS HELP ME TOW THE VAN, BY THIS I DO NOT MEAN THAT I DID NOT HAD TO PAY; I STILL PAID, IT JUST WAS LESS MONEY.) ONE OF THESE TIMES I HAD TO SPEND SEVEN HOURS IN THE FREEWAY. SINCE THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN, I HAD TO REPLACE SPARK PLUGS 1 AND 6 FOR AS LONG AS I KEPT USING THE VAN AT LEAST TWICE A MONTH (THIS SOMETIMES I HAD TO DO IT WHILE WORKING WHEN I STARTED TO FEEL THAT THE ENGINE WAS LOOSING POWER.) I HAVE NOT USED THE VAN FOR FOUR MONTHS AND HAD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE FOR WORK. I HAD TO UNNECESSARILY BUY ANOTHER VAN. THIS TIME I BOUGHT A VAN FROM CHEVROLET BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID I WOULD GO THROUGH THIS PROBLEM AGAIN IF I BOUGHT ANOTHER VAN FROM FORD. UP TO THIS DAY I DID NOT KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY VAN UNTIL I READ THE NEWSPAPER. *JB
