My 1997 Ford Expedition 4.6 will start with a jump but won't crank, any help?

It is likely that the battery needs to be replaced. Check the connections to make sure they are clean and secure. If the connections are good, then the battery may need to be replaced. Additionally, check the alternator and starter to make sure they are functioning properly. If they are not, they may need to be replaced or repaired.

Rick is correct in his answer but the suspected spots are the oil cooler hoses from the radiator back to the oil filter adapter the pressure switch on the adapter and since you say both sides it should be the oil cooler lines good luck and powder up the lines and fittings and have someone else start the engine while your looking for the leak

1997 FORD EXPEDITION LEAKING ANTIFREEZE

You have to remove the parts to see where the leak is. Remove the manifold carefully to preserve the evidence. You can check the manifold mating surface with a straightedge. You may find the leak is actually in the head gasket. Make him show you the warpage before letting him sell you new parts. A metal part like the head can be resurfaced at a machine shop.

The surging usually comes from the IAC hunting to maintain a stable idle. usually your symtoms occur from a vacuum leak of some sort. plastic intakes are sometime found to be cracked from heat embrittlement. spray the top of the engine with brake clean when running. if the idle changes when spraying in a certain area you are locating the vacuum leak. the idle will change when the engine sucks in the brake cleaner.

1997 ford expedition security light flashin . its had a steering column replaced,and a stereo replaced before I bought it. cleared codes snap on code reader ,then weeks later, did it again.

Check the sensor ring on the column that's around the cylinder for a bad wire and check the receiver plug and antenna also check your key if it has a battery and the fuse for the pats system download the manual from ford owners. Com and go to roadside emergencies and your fuse box diagrams are in there and the fuse values and relay locations something is loose or corroded clean all associated with the pats system and write everything down that you did so things can be ruled out also check the column wire connections all the way down to the floor

My 97 expedition only drives in reverse and not forward

Get your car to a transmission shop right away! You may have not damaged it beyond repair, but you will soon if you keep doing what you say you're doing to it.

The air suspension is not blowing up the air bags.

Could be a leak in the system or a tear in one of the airbags (which is what I had). I had to have one air shock replaced.
