I tuned up my 98 Ford Expo because it was due for a tune up. Went to restart the car and the car dies after turning it on. Double checked the tune up process and was good. Do you think i unplugged a hose or ? for the reason of the idle not catching when it starts? When reving the engine you can feel the new power because of the new spark plugs but doesnt stay alive enough to catch before for it dies out.. Any suggestions on the problem,. Sorry about the explanation .. Im a rookie! Can ya help?

I would start by checking for vacuum leaks. Chances are you knocked a vacuum hose off when you were doing the work.

Also, is this the 5.4L V8?

Let me know.
