Removing Lower Intake Manifold

1999 3.0 Flex Fuel V6

Is it necessary to remove the cam shaft position sensor when removing the lower intake?

Anyone had any success removing lifters through the heads? Without removing them?...

Re: No start after plug wires crossed

Do you mean the starter relay? It’s turning over just not starting. Or is there another relay? I tried putting gas into the air intake and no start so I guess that means no spark.

Re: No start after plug wires crossed

Ahhh I have another coil that I know is good. Should I just swap them out and double check the wires?

Re: Bolt size flywheel to converter

I finally figured it out. They are 9/16. Plus there was an access panel that allowed me to get to the bolts it was just hard to see. It had a cover. Thanks.

Yes I towed it straight to the mechanic. I am just trying to figure out if it’s going to need a new rebuild or something less costly.

Re: What does this sound mean? Video.

Ok. Yep the oil pressure indicator shows no pressure. Does that mean there is damage or could the engine be ok as it was not driven long without pressure. Or is there no way to know until mechanic...

Re: 1999 Steel-Chrome 15" Ranger Wheels, Covers, & lug nuts.

Hey. This is my first time selling wheels. If $320 is too much what is a good price for Craig's list? Is $200 too high?
