Hello, first cool this is here. Well to the problem. I have searched "WEB" also asked a few people. THe mountianeer 98 seams to run great , well every once in awhile coming to a stop it dies. it also sometimes while going about hwy speeds then it will miss. it gives me a code once in a while, i think it was 420 something, about cat issue bank one. have no idea what bank one is. lol Any help would be great. I am leaning toward afuel pump problembut dont know if there is any other control for fuel control. Thank you in advance. |
is your mountaineer a v-6 or a v-8 as for thep0420 code it does mean the cat convertor is not working properly |
oops forgot v-6. man thats bad, now which side is bank one? Thank you in advance. |
The stalling is a possible intake manifold gasket the v-6's have an issue with that. Or it could be a Idle Air Control valve. Ill work on finding out which side is bank 1 i believe 1 is always on the left but want to make sure.Edited by: MercAdvisor |
CoolI might actually be getting somewhere or at least a direction. I think the Idle Air Control Valve would be easier to change will try it first. lol I can change that right, like any other sensor? I will do a test on the intake, hopefully its not it. but its probably cheaper.GRIN Thank you again. I really appreciate the help. |
bank 1 is the left side.. the idle air control valve is like any other sensor and on some cars is super easy to change. |
Thanx, I will mess with these and post my results. GRIN Thank you again. |
This sounds like the problem I'm having with my 2002 Mountaineer, V-6. Has my model been noted with this problem? |

Hello, Well I am a little late but finally did get back to the Merc. issue. Well I took atorch and found no leaks, so assumed it was the IAC. So today i went out lookingand only could find a V8 one. Well V6 = $100+ V8 = $50+ Looked at two and the only problem was the wire came out the back on V8 one. put gasket "came in box" on then tightened down. Well everywhere I drove it today before, it would die. "Hence why I had to get er done. .lol " Now it runs better and does not die yet. So I think we got it. GRIN Thanx Much. |
