Ok, I would like to know how to do a complete TUNEUP and CLEANING of a Straight 6 4.9L Engine.

There are all these different types of sensors too, how do you clean these and where are they located.

I havn't found out how to do this so, for myself and others... im asking.

Thanks guys.

 

Hows it going.
I highly recomend getting a manual to check everything out. most of the things i; ve seen posted here is bS anyway. I'm new here but have read the forurm quite a bit. Be carefull what advice you follow there are people here that are legends in their own mind. Just be sure to invest in a book.
Look forward to hereing from you

 

pay no attention to this guy. lot of good advice in this forum. there is also alot of stuff in here the manual WONT tell you. it is always good to have one on hand though.seeing as you ar a junior member tumba meaning you havent contributed very much, why dont u start be before putting yourself up on a throne of knowledge.

 

I didn't mean to slam forum afterall i,m here because i like it . but just pay attention to all the bs and you'll be chaseing your tail

 

Here's a better answer to your question - Buy a Haynes or Chilton's manual for your year and model. Any good Automotive supplier will carry one .

When you ask a question - specify your year , specially when referring to the straight six. Some models didn't have sensors.

You can check around the other sites on the web , but you WILL NOT find a better one when you run into problems - Sure guys mess around with other here, I believe this has more techs on the list than any other out there. More diagrams , photo's and helpful people.

I would suggest if one doesn't like the site - move on...Apparently you don't know a good thing when you see it. No ones forcing you to be here.

keith , I didn't see your reply before I started mine

 

you fix that EGR yet JBREW

 

If you read the thread you wouldn't have wasted the time asking that question. It's spelled out for yuh there . Another member here helped me out and is sending his - it's in the mail - you want a tracking number?

get a life

 

hey Jbrew can you help this guy I don't know anything about his engine. afterall we're here to help with the questio in this thread right?

 

Looks like I helped him more than you have

That's for sure.

 

Sorry about that ? but that is what i was talking about .
best of luck!

 

LOL, that explains allot!! - duhh......

Tell me what year yuh got UndaThaRug - I can give you accurate info that way. I have the 96 Ford DVD that has the info for that year.

 

i have the I6 and it runs great tell me what you want to do and what year and i will try to help ya

here is a tip listen to the senior members the more posts the more knowledge in some cases we do shoot the bull and fight over the better engines 4.6 this 5.4 that (but the 4.9 tops them all )sorry Jbrew

welcome to the site and look forward to helpin ya

For some reason - I don't think your sorry

 

ya your right iam not

 

Buy the chilton/haynes manual AND try to find a mentor who has experience with cars/trucks. Try to read the whole 'general maintenace' section (or whatever it is called).

I'd start with the basics: plugs, wires, dist cap, rotor, air filters, change oil/filter, and check all the basic fluids (add as needed).

I'm no 'mechanic', but you can learn a lot in this forum. Explore the different folders, and do searches on the part/topic you are thinking of working on. Tons of good info, diagrams and posts.

Your post/question is pretty broad and could potentially cover lots of ground/info. I'd start with doing the above, then post up a new question/thread that is a bit more specific after you've gleaned some more info from the forums.
