Nice!! Cant beat a $200 beater! I had a 2000 S-10 that I had to get rid of a few years back because I was moving and had to many cars at the time. I miss that little truck. Good luck with her!1986 Grand Marquis - Current project

Replaced the plugs and wires a few minutes ago. 1 was an Ac Delco plug and the other 3 were Autolite's. 2 of the 4 wires had boots the other 2 were taped around the part that fits the plug tip and i bet the wires were replaced 1 time from the original's. Starts right up now no problem. Im hoping it stays as quiet as it is right now but i think im starting to hear it get like the motor in the 96 with the valve's ticking if im saying that right. Runs great now with the new plugs and wires.2018 F150 XLT 43k

May just require an oil change with good, proper weight oil and filter. Worth a shot!!

Not sure that I've ever heard a 2.2 that wasn't a little chattery. It probably is picky about oil weight too. I know my 4.3 ticks with 10w30 in it, but shuts up with 5w30.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

My 96 cant take 5w30. If i put it in it it has absolutely no oil pressure, I can only run 20W50 and a thing of STP oil treatment and get a max of 8 at idle if that and over 20 driving. This one i hope is fine with 5w30 and not anything else since it keeps good pressure over 40 at idle and driving when at normal temp.2018 F150 XLT 43k
