    Disable Alarm on 98 Explorer

    I am so frustrated! The car has be at a local shop for 2 weeks now (I told them I was not in a super hurry). It was suddenly dying and they replaced the fuel pump because the pressure was low. That did not fix it. Now, they think it is the anti-theft that is causing the problem. They pulled a...

    Suddnedly Stops - Cat or Anti Theft?

    The vehicle will just suddenly shut off after several minutes of driving (from a cold start). If I let it sit, it will start back up after a while. My initial thought was fuel pump (or something fuel related). I took it an got two codes (anti-theft and cat converter). Could either or both of...

    Fuel Filter Line Not Fully Engaged

    Just changed out the fuel filter, but one of the lines won't fully engage. The other line slipped right in and I *thought* I heard a click. For the line that won't fully engage it, it looks like it needs about another 0.25 inch. It doesn't want to disengage either so I am thinking it is OK. I...

    Fuel Filter Changing Tool

    From what I have read, there is a little plastic tool needed to change the fuel filter. Anyone know where to get this at? I checked on amazon, but could not find one. There really isn't an auto parts store near me so I am trying to avoid running around town looking for a piece of plastic.

    Died While Driving, But Comes Back to Life

    Thank for the tips. I am kind of at the point where I am not sure if it is worth it to repair or not. Maybe the fuel filter would be worth a shot if it is easy to replace. Everything else seems like it would be a lot of money or work. Also, I noticed intermittent hesitation when accelerating...

    Died While Driving, But Comes Back to Life

    A couple months ago, my 98 Explorer (old I know) would not start. I came back a few hours later and it started no problem and ran fine. Then a couple of days ago it just died while driving and would not start again. The engine turns over, but it sounds like it is not getting fuel. When the...
