    07 Eddie Bauer V8

    Hi, I used to have a 92 Explorer XLT years ago and was somewhat active here then. After all this time I recently sold my 08 Legacy 2.5GT spec.B and picked up this Explorer. My plan is to use it as my daily driver and use it to tow my Miata to some track days :) The plan for now is to do some...

    92 wont start.

    As soon as i move the ignition from off to 'run' all the dome lights get really dim and the positive terminal on the battery gets VERY hot. I think i have a short but not sure if its in the harness or in the ignition switch. Got any pointers?

As soon as I fill it up the idle smooths out and the power returns. If theres any other ideas...

    Hot Start, Runs on 5

    When I start up the Explorer when its hot it will run on 5 cylenders, and obvously run extreamly roughly. This will continue until i either get on the gas enough to force it to clear up or if i let it idle for 4-6mins or so. The Plugs and wires are pretty new and dont have many miles on them...
