    Location of Speaker Harness in rear of 02 sport trac

    I have a 02 sport trac and i want to put a 4 channel amp in for the new speakers i am putting in. I know in my last explorer which was a 01 sport, there was a harness in the right rear where the speaker wires had a disconnect in the rear which id guess was for a factory amp if installed. Does...

    Slight vibration/humming noise over 75.

    Thanks man for that TSB. It starts at 80 and gets worse that faster you try to go. Im hoping its just the tires or U joints.

    Slight vibration/humming noise over 75.

    You can feel it just a lil in the steering wheel, but can also feel it in the seat too. It feels to me its coming from the front. Im gonna move the tires around and see if it changes at all.

    Slight vibration/humming noise over 75.

    Just picked up a 02 sport trac. Has used destination tires on it. Seems to run smooth. But once i get to 75 on the highway i start to feel a slight vibration and hear a humming noise. As the speed goes up the worse both get, once it gets below 75 it goes away again. Now i just replaced...

    Factory Amp Location - Sport Trac

    my 2002 doesnt have a factory sub but i was wondering where stock amps were located on the sport tracs. Im gettin ready to put a 4 channel amp in and id like to tap into a speaker harness instead of running wires through each door. On my 01 sport there was a harness disconnect on the passenger...

    No downshifting unless turning overdrive off

    So recently i noticed at highway speed, the car no matter how fast or far you press the gas pedal will now downshift at all. You can smash the gas and sometimes it bogs down other times it slowly starts to accelerate. The only time i can get it to downshift correctly is if i turn the overdrive...

    Mystery coolant leak and misfire

    After looking around. Im seeing some wet spots behind the top thermostat housing. Its towards the back of the motor. Reading some of the comments i figure maybe its time to replace the thermostat housing assembly. I see Dorman makes a complete replacement pretty cheap. Im also gonna put...

    Mystery coolant leak and misfire

    If it is a crack like you say. Which does make perfect sense. Is there anything i can use or is it a ticking time bomb until its repaired? I know alot of chemicals and sealants out there that say they can help. Any truth in that?

    Swapping out ECU

    Ok so garage believes ECU/PCM is bad because it does not throw check engine lights or codes when you unplug maf sensor or a few other sensors. So i got one thats certified out of a exact copy of my 01 explorer sport. Swap them out, go to turn car on, hear fuel pump prime but soon as i turn the...

    Mass Air Flow Sensor

    Yea we both dont think its the MAF anymore either, but the reason he thinks the ECU could be a problem is because as soon as you unplug the maf the check engine code should come on right away, but it doesnt at all nor does it throw a code at all. The idle doesnt even change, so our first...

    Mass Air Flow Sensor

    OK so update. Mechanic thinks it might be the ECU/PCM. I was there with him and he unplugged the MAF, idle barely moved and the check engine light doesnt come on or cause a code to throw. The code they found was IAT which he said is normally with the MAF but no MAF code. Guys pretty damn...

    Mass Air Flow Sensor

    I have a 01 explorer sport. I continue having idle issues where the car after warming up at idle seems to wanna stumble and miss alot. Seems to drive fine besides sometimes when u have to really push the gas down to get it to go but when its at idle it just stumbles really bad. No check...

    Coolant smell and stumbling engine!???

    Dont smell any by the exhaust. Are 01 known for leaky intake manifolds like ppl have told me? And what else would cause cylinder 6 to misfire a few times a year and the plug always being worn more?
