Or do you have to tear it down. It is a 2005 Mercury Mountaineer, 4.6 engine, 128000 mi on it. Its awd.

Quote">>My post on the camshaft was told by another mechanic. He said needed to replace the motor. This was on the mercury mountaineer, 2005, 4.6. I just thought someone could make a suggestion. The car will idle, but won"t move rpm up. I understand you can"t give me the complete low down on it, so I won"t bother you with it any more. Thanks anyway. At least you replied.<<" Please don't confuse the whole show with posting all over the place when the question was asked right here. OK - You don't have a credible diagnosis for a camshaft problem at all IMO. So far this just seems like throttle can't move at all and would be checking for anything from the "gas pedal" to the throttle body for the problem. Seriously - if (didn't go hunting yet) this is a cable they can fall right off at the gas pedal or break there or anywhere if a cable. Some could be rubbing and cut off. A pivot mechanism right at throttle body where it would turn. If it idles as you said but zero response from asking for more RPM just isn't a camshaft issue so I wouldn't go off on that track looking at all, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
