What you do is awesome. I try to help out people where I can. I can do some basic work and as long as the parts and supplies are there I usually do it for free and if I charge I usually do it for a sandwich.

I have a couple questions. I have a 2000 F150, V6 5 speed. My check engine light is on and the code it puts out is that cylinder 1 and 2 are not getting enough air. How would I fix that myself? Second question is, my rear passenger tire is wearing unevenly, basically it is getting a bald spot on the tire that stretches the entire width of the tire and is about 5 to 6 inches in length, is it the wheel bearings that cause that? In cause of reference the rear brakes are drum brakes.

Thanks fir the response.

Yea, it was misfire, sorry it's been a few months since I've had the code read. But as for the tire, I just got a new used tire on that rim. So I won't be able to get a picture.

As for the misfire, could a bad vacuum hose cause that? I've read that other F150s from that time frame have had vacuum hose issues.

I've done the pcv valve on a ford escort before. I was the easiest thing I've replaced on a vehicle outside of an air freshener. Thanks for the the pointers. You have been a great help.

It is the 4.6, in your experience, how hard would it be for me to replace this hose by myself?

Hardest part for me will be reaching it. Gotta love being short and having a full size truck, on the plus side, all I have to do is crawl under for oil changes.
