Re: P0138 Fault
Hooligan,
You're right. I have zero history on the maintenance with this thing. It was obviously used for commuter vehicle which can really test even the best car here in Southern California. Somehow the guy that repossessed it, must have forgotten to ask them for a maintenance log. But even though the engine and trans oil look like they just been done, and engine compartment etc is dusty but pretty clean, I'm suspect that not much if anything has been done to this car. It has 115,000. Miles on it. On my SuperCrew, that would be nothing. I put about 60,000 a year on mine. It's an '07 and has almost the same mileage as the Cruiser. And will easily go another twice that before any real failures will likely occur. But I don't know much about these vehicles. All my life I owned Fords because I never paid for any parts and had plenty of techs who wanted trans overhauls, so naturally all labor was free too.
I'm pretty impressed with some of the innovative design features, and I figured since it's an '05 and looks like they have been out since '00, that would plenty of time to dial in any repeat failures for the most part.
Looks like I'll wind up pulling at least one plug to see what it looks like. Are there any particular brand of plugs it doesn't like? Fords do not like Champion and some models don't like Bosch.
