2005 Eddie Bauer Expedition, purchased new, oil changed every +/- 5K miles, tires in great condition, 294K miles. Air and heat work like they should as well as the keys, key fobs, PW, PL, etc… and everything is intact. The transmission was replaced by AAMCO 7/12/2019. It has the typical seat wear these have from a vehicle this age. It has a timing issue with the following primary codes (P0012 - bank 1 over retarded, P0021 - bank 2 over advanced, P0172 - bank 1 too rich and P0174 - bank 2 too lean). The P0021 and P0172 are causing the last two as well as some occasional misfire codes. I have replaced the sparkplugs, a couple of the coil packs and both VVT’s with no change. This points to cam phasers or a full timing kit which is what was recommended due to the mileage. I changed the bank 1 cam phaser which did not change anything so thinking it needs the full kit.
It is driveable (I still drive it to lunch every day and have for 3 weeks), but it does not do well in start/stop traffic. Does OK at HWY speeds as I have driven to the office several times (70 miles round trip), but I would recommend towing it if it's a long distance. $1500
