Ford E Series owners manuals
- Rough running engine or misfires on acceleration, most likely there is a problem with the ignition coils and/or ignition coil boots.
- Engine oil leaks from cylinder head gasket.
- The front end makes a rattling sound in the upper and lower ball joints when driving over bumps. The ball joints need to be repaired due to moisture and absence of lubrication.
- Loud popping sound and misfire right after means that the spark plug may have been displaced from the cylinder head creating the threads on the spark plugs to be removed.
- Coolant leakage from the heater core caused by the electrolysis that runs through the coolant. These can generate corrosion and deterioration of heater core and radiator sections.
