I was driving my truck yesterday and I noticed that it was shaking constantly. I drove it about 2 blocks and turned around I got back home and noticed a funny smell coming from it. I checked fluid levels and I had NO oil at all. (this has never happened to me ever) So i went back to the store and got 3 quarts of oil and added it. waited for about 2 hours and drove it down the road and it was still doing the same thing as before. But the check engine light was flashing on and off. I haven't driven it since. My husband knows some about cars but he said that he had no idea what it might be. Whatever it is and it cost more to get it fixed then I am getting rid of it.

If you have the codes read, they will indicate which cylinder has the problem and you can check it out. This engine is very notorious for having bad ignition coils and may have had nothing to do with oil level in the first place. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. nnharrell26 New User Sep 21, 2009, 6:19 PM Post #3 of 4 (8451 views) Re: 1998 ford expedition shaking when drives Sign In So basically I need to get my spark plugs and coil on plug boots replaced and that should fix the problem. I think that the same thing happened to me in the spring time of this year and my husband replaced 3 of them because he wasn't able get to the others and it stopped shaking in all. I have someone to replace all of them now, but you think that replacing all of those would take care of the problem. please respond.

You really need to isolate the right cylinders first. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
