97 Expedition Fouling out Plugs

Jun 29, 2004 2 Replies

I had the tuneup done at 80k because that's what my mechanic said I need. Ok no problem till my check engine light came on again took it back to the shop he said that the no. 4 plug had fouled out. He replaced it and about a week later it rained, my check engine light came on again. Took it to the shop no. 4 plug fouled out again. It took me about three times of it raining and my plug fouling out that I noticed a patteren. I asked the mechanic if there was somthing that they had done, to cause this and he said no. To cut it short, has anybody had the same problem with no. 4 plug fouling out when it rains? I did not have this problem before I took it in for a tuneup. Help


the plug wire to number four is probably damaged......Its got 80K on it? It wouldnt hurt it to have new plug wires.

Yes, you need new plug wires. I have had to had my back 2 wires replaced twice now.
