This factory service and repair manual for the 2002 Ford E-150 Econoline documents the two-door standard cargo van in Base trim, powered by one of three naturally aspirated gasoline engines: a 4.2L overhead-valve V6 of 256 cubic inches, a 4.6L overhead-cam V8 of 281 and a 5.4L overhead-cam V8 of 330. The three differ in valvetrain as much as in size, and the manual keeps their specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and repair procedures apart so the right numbers are used on the right engine.
