4. WORN RINGS OR DILUTED OIL: When the engine is accelerated (dotted needle), the needle
drops to 0 kPa (0 in- Hg). Upon deceleration, the needle runs slightly above 74 kPa (22 in- Hg).
5. STICKING VALVES: When the needle (dotted) remains steady at a normal vacuum but occasionally flicks (sharp, fast movement) down and back about 13 kPa (4 in- Hg), one or more
valves may be sticking.
6. BURNED OR WARPED VALVES: A regular, evenly- spaced, downscale flicking of the needle
indicates one or more burned or warped valves. Insufficient hydraulic lash adjuster or hydraulic
lash adjuster (HLA) clearance will also cause this reaction.
7. POOR VALVE SEATING: A small but regular downscale flicking can mean one or more valves are not seating.
8. WORN VALVE GUIDES: When the needle oscillates over about a 13 kPa (4 in- Hg) range at idle
speed, the valve guides could be worn. As engine speed increases, the needle will become
steady if guides are responsible.
9. WEAK VALVE SPRINGS: When the needle oscillation becomes more violent as engine rpm is increased, weak valve springs are indicated. The reading at idle could be relatively steady.
10. LATE VALVE TIMING: A steady but low reading could be caused by late valve timing.
11. IGNITION TIMING RETARDING: Retarded ignition timing will produce a steady but somewhat low reading.
12. INSUFFICIENT SPARK PLUG GAP: When spark plugs are gapped too close, a regular, small pulsation of the needle can occur.
13. INTAKE LEAK: A low, steady reading can be caused by an intake manifold or throttle body gasket leak.
14. BLOWN HEAD GASKET: A regular drop of fair magnitude can be caused by a blown head gasket or warped cylinder head- to-cylinder block surface.
15. RESTRICTED EXHAUST SYSTEM: When the engine is first started and is idled, the reading may be normal, but as the engine rpm is increased, the back pressure caused by a clogged
muffler (5230), kinked tail pipe or other concerns will cause the needle to slowly drop to 0 kPa
(0 in-Hg). The needle then may slowly rise. Excessive exhaust clogging will cause the needle to
drop to a low point even if the engine is only idling.
16. When vacuum leaks are indicated, search out and correct the cause. Excess air leaking into the system will upset the fuel mixture and cause concerns such as rough idle, missing on
acceleration or burned valves. If the leak exists in an accessory unit such as the power brake
booster (2005), the unit will not function correctly. Always fix vacuum leaks.
Excessive Engine Oil Consumption
The amount of oil an engine uses will vary with the way the vehicle is driven in addition to normal
engine- to-engine variation. This is especially true during the first 16,100 km (10,000 miles) when a new
engine is being broken in or until certain internal engine components become conditioned. Vehicles
used in heavy- duty operation may use more oil. The following are examples of heavy- duty operation:
z trailer towing applications
z severe loading applications
z sustained high speed operation Klj . 12 ba

3.
NOTE: Running this test with the vehicle in gear or with the A/C compressor clutch engaged
(running) will cause incorrect diagnosis.
Place the transmission in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
4. Start the engine and allow the engine to idle throughout this test. Allow the engine to run for 2 minutes, then record the ECT (4.6L) or CHT (3.8L) voltage. Record the ECT (4.6L) or CHT
(3.8L) voltage every 60 seconds. When the ECT (4.6L) or CHT (3.8L) voltage trend changes
direction or only changes slightly (0.03 volts or less) from the previous reading, record this as
the thermostat opening voltage. Use the voltage and corresponding coolant temperature chart
listed below for 4.6L engines only.
5. If the thermostat opening voltage is greater than 0.75 volts and less than 82°C (180°F), install a new water thermostat.
6. If the thermostat opening voltage is less than 0.75 volts and greater than 82°C (180°F), the water thermostat is good and a new water thermostat should not be installed. GO to Symptom Chart for further instructions.
Thermostat — Mechanical Test
1. Remove the water thermostat.
2. Check the water thermostat for seating. Hold the water thermostat up to a lighted background. Leakage of light around the thermostat valve at room temperature indicates that a new water
thermostat should be installed. Some water thermostats have a small leakage notch at one
location on the perimeter of the thermostat valve, which is considered normal.
3. Immerse the water thermostat in a boiling coolant and water mixture.
4. See the General Specifications chart for water thermostat opening temperatures.
Radiator Leak Test, Removed From the Vehicle CAUTION: Never leak test an aluminum radiator in the same water that copper/brass
radiators are tested in. Flux and caustic cleaners may be present in the cleaning tank and they
will damage aluminum radiators.
NOTE: Always install plugs in the oil cooler fittings before leak- testing or cleaning any radiator.
NOTE: Clean the radiator before leak- testing to avoid contamination of tank. Coolant Temperature °C (°F) ECT (Volts)

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Supercharger Cooling
CAUTION: Some vehicle cooling systems are filled with Motorcraft Premium Engine
Coolant VC -4-A (in Oregon VC- 5, in Canada CXC- 10) or equivalent meeting Ford specification
ESE- M97B44- A (green color). Others are filled with Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant
VC -7-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSS- M97B51-A1 (yellow color). Always fill the
cooling system with the same coolant that is present in the system. Do not mix coolant types.
NOTE: The addition of Motorcraft Cooling System Stop Leak Pellets, VC- 6, darkens Motorcraft
Premium Gold Engine Coolant from yellow to golden tan.
NOTE: The air that is produced from the supercharger is cooled by the intercooler.
Walter C. Avrea, the owner of patents 3,601,181 and RE 27,965, has granted Ford Motor Company
rights with respect to cooling systems covered by these patents.
The cooling system components include the:
zintercooler
z intercooler radiator (8K226)
z pressure relief cap
z degas bottle
z electric water pump (8501)
The degas bottle:
zprovides a location for system fill.
z contains coolant expansion and system pressurization.
z provides air separation during operation.
z replenishes the intercooler coolant to the system.
The intercooler coolant flows:
zfrom the intercooler to the degas bottle.
z from the degas bottle to the water pump.
z from the water pump to the intercooler radiator.
z from the intercooler radiator to the intercooler.
Engine coolant provides freeze protection, boil protection, cooling efficiency and corrosion protection to
the engine and cooling components. In order to obtain these protections, the engine coolant must be
maintained at the correct concentration and fluid level in the degas bottle.
When adding engine coolant, use a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant and clean, drinkable water.
To maintain the integrity of the coolant and the cooling system: SECTION 303-

Belt Tensioner, Automatic
Check the automatic drive belt tensioner:
1. With the engine off, check for correct drive belt routing; refer to Accessory Drive . Repair as
necessary.
2. Rotate the drive belt tensioner and check for a binding or frozen condition. Install new components as necessary.
Drive Belt Misalignment
CAUTION: Incorrect drive belt installation will cause excessive drive belt wear and may
cause the drive belt to come off the drive pulleys.
Non- standard drive belts may track differently or incorrectly. If a drive belt tracks incorrectly, install it
with an original equipment drive belt to avoid performance failure or loss of drive belt.
With the engine running, check drive belt tracking. If the (A) edge of the drive belt rides beyond the
edge of the pulleys, noise and premature wear may occur. Make sure the (B) drive belt rides correctly
on the pulley. If a drive belt tracking condition exists, proceed with the following:
zVisually check the drive belt tensioner for damage, especially the mounting pad surface. If the
drive belt tensioner is not installed correctly, the mounting surface pad will be out of position.
This will result in chirp and squeal noises.
z With the engine running, visually observe the grooves in the pulleys (not the pulley flanges or
the pulley forward faces) for excessive wobble. Install new components as necessary.
z Check all accessories, mounting brackets and the drive belt tensioner for any interference that
would prevent the component from mounting correctly. Correct any interference condition and
recheck the drive belt tracking.
z Tighten all accessories, mounting brackets, and drive belt tensioner retaining hardware to
specification. Recheck the drive belt tracking. Klj . 3 ba
