Oil Leaks Repair and Tune-Up on the Camper Van Engine. And Stumbling Idle is Fixed 1991 Ford E150

Degreased the engine, replaced some failed gaskets, and diagnosed the stumbling idle issue. The biggest downside to owning a classic van for a live-in or camper is the old components like the engine. It requires the proper maintenance and some of the work can easily be done yourself. Like degreasing the engine! Simply cleaning up the engine can also help you do diagnose where oil leaks are coming from. Clean it up, drive it, and you will easily be able to spot what gaskets have failed. Take it to your mechanic if you would prefer but if you have a similar Ford Van or perhaps the same 300 ci straight six ford motor, I hope some of this content is helpful to you! The greasy carpet: Give a comment if you noticed the SUPER greasy carpet! I pan across the cab of the van as I go to fire up the engine after everything is reassembled and show the horribly greasy nasty old carpet. Not to worry - I replaced it! The carpet got SO greasy from scrubbing the engine with degreaser on it and rinsing the engine with water. With plans to replace the carpet anyways, this was a great way to clean up the mess easily! Fixing a stumbling idle I attempted replacing the MAP sensor, EGR valve, IACV (Idle Air Control Valve), to no avail. I also replaced any vacuum lines that were brittle or cracked that could present a vacuum leak. No luck. The issue turned out to be two vacuum lines both connecting to the front of the throttle body and they were full of what I thought was grease (as mentioned in the video). It turned out to be little pieces of the rubber vacuum lines as the rubber has deteriorated over the years. I see this issue searched and discussed on the internet and other youtube videos and perhaps you have the same issue and I recommend thoroughly cleaning the throttle body and replacing all vacuum lines. Stay TUNED for the next video covering this ultimate stealth camper van build. Now that the engine is running smooth, its back to the build!
