I've a '96el just paid $330 for tune +service, told it idles rough cause of air leak in injectors, had that done, now it stalls on start up.he now says I need 2 replace a.c.v. Knocking is worse than when 1st went in. I have no idea, I'm a women. I only put it in because I wanted it to run better-there wasn't much wrong, now I have all this. Does it sound right? Is it an expensive problem? It only stalls on gas.

You mention hydaulic lifter sticking...don't they have roller rocker overhead cam engines? Is it knocking or just tapping (sound from low in engine or just up top?) IS knocking on gas or petrol? Does it cease running if you start on fuel and then switch Edited by user Friday, 9 September 2005 10:08:13 PM(UTC)

EL owner, where in Aus are you. It looks like you are going to have to get another mechanic to fix this guys attempts. If we know where you are located maybe someone here on the board can point you in the direction of a reliable mechanic. I'm not sayin

A good advice is that gas is for bbq's.Plus el falcons have hydraulic lifters,so if they are noisy they will need to be replaced.they are dear

Take the car to Ultratune. They won't much you around and they'll warrant the work they do.
Hope it gets better

You can try changing the oil. Normally the lifters a gummed up from high milage. One of mine was tapping on start up. I changed oil and the oil servicing intervals from 10,000->5000k's. Haven't had an issue sign. The 15-40w oil the Falcon 4.0 runs is p |
