Three problems related to check engine light on have been reported for the 1997 Ford Expedition. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
In a matter of 9 months, my 1997 Ford Expedition has misfired and blown out spark plug 4 times now. Has cost me over $3,000 in repairs. The last time it happened my truck smelled like fire, but never ignited. My check engine light is now on for a 5th time, the truck is misfiring again and it is only a matter of time before another blowout occurs.
While driving slowly in the rain, the vehicle suddenly went into a skid. During the skid, the vehicle shutdown with no power steering or abs, giving owner no indication. The engine check light came on after vehicle shutdown and remained on for a couple of days. Manufacturer will be notified.
After the check engine light came on, the vehicle suddenly stopped, causing accident.
