Expedition Update: “Code Blue” is how our tech refers to these…

The Expedition is coming along.  All plugs are in and coils bolted down.  While in this vehicle doing the tuneup, several vacuum lines were found to be damaged or deteriorated.  Our Technician repaired or replaced all necessary lines. 

While removing the right rear coils, the tech was sprayed with fuel.  The fuel rail bolt wasn’t in the rail holding it in place.  This could have been caused by lazy repair work being done by a prior “mechanic” or backed out (not likely for the second to have happened the bolt is literally 2.4″ in length and unlikely to have that much thread back out on its own)

“Code Blue” is a term that our parts change technician has coined for all Ford products.  They are all considered “Code Blue” in his mind because they’ve been the ones to give him the most Gray hair through the years(the blue oval is where the Code Blue is derived).

Looks like another 30 minutes or so and this one will be motoring along again.
