Problem overview

Some Ford Expedition owners report experiencing engine stalling accompanied by a loss of oil pressure and oil covering the right side of the motor. This loss of oil pressure is a serious concern that requires immediate attention to avoid potential engine damage. The presence of oil on the right side of the motor may indicate a leak from components such as the oil filter, oil pan, or valve cover gasket, which should be addressed promptly to prevent further engine damage and ensure proper lubrication. Additionally, engine stalling can stem from various issues, including problems with the fuel system, air intake system, ignition system, or engine timing. Common causes cited include malfunctions with the MAF sensor, ignition coils, fuel delivery system, or variable valve timing (VVT) system. It is recommended that owners have their vehicles inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose the specific causes of these issues and perform necessary repairs to maintain the vehicle's reliability and safety.
