I'm the new guy here and justed wanted to say hello to all the other FordForum members. But, I do have a question (of course). I just bought an 04 Freestar Limites with 69,000 miles. The list of things that I know that are already wrong with it is pretty short but includes the liftgate latch, the drivers side rear door being difficult to open and close, the rack and pinion needing to be replaced and brakes all the way around it but for the price I paid and the condition it's in it's a was a great deal and I am capable of doing most of the work myself. One question I have that I have not seen a post for is the smell of exhaust inside the van and a slight miss in the motor. Has anyone had a problem with this before? And if so what did you do about it. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

 

If you check for codes, you can nail down the miss with no problem (ususally). If you go into Mode 6 data, you can always nail the miss right away.
