    IAC Valve location and cleaning

    Codes P0401 and P0506 I'm confused on this whole IAC topic. My truck is throwing the code, the autoparts store show there isnt one, but when I'm on RockAuto.com there shows there is an IAC for my truck. Below is what I found on the site. MOTORCRAFT Part # CX1771 {#1L2E9F715AD, 1L2Z9F715AA}...

    Dpfe Egr Sensor

    Thanks for the information. I have 05 Mountaineer with the v6 4.0 flex engine. I was checking the application guide and it cuts off at 01' for the Mountaineer. I called FORD and they said its one-complete unit, which is probably the reason I was not able to find it on RockAuto or any other site.

    Dpfe Egr Sensor

    Thanks for the information. I checked out that site and others and can't find a DPFE sensor listed, just the harness and connector tubes and the EGR itself. It looks like from pictures that the sensor is part of the valve itself.

    05 Mountaineer 4.0 flex 194K ( EGR CODE ) My CEL came on the other day and got the code checked and was told it was showing the EGR was the problem, but the guy at AutoZone said it was most likely the DPFE. My question.. If I bought a new EGR does it come with the Sensor or are the 2...

    Coolant leak on 2002 Explorer XLT V6 4.0L SOHC

    I did this work over the weekend and it took me about 2hrs to get it all done. I do have one question. In the post #12 above, is that the heater hose in that picture? I had so much trouble disconnecting it, I ended up just cutting it off. I went to Autozone with hose in hand, and they dont...

    Gear selector sticking on incline

    I parked my truck on an incline the other day, just for 30 sec. to pick something up off my driveway; and when I got back in and tried to shift into Drive, it would not budge. After playing with it for a few minutes, I was able to get out of park, not sure what I did. Is this normal or could...

    Coolant leak on 2002 Explorer XLT V6 4.0L SOHC

    I seem to be having the same issue with my 2005 Mountaineer. I know the leak is coming from the housing, but not sure If I should replace both the top and bottom at the same time? How hard is it to replace the housings? Should I also replace the CTS as well?

    02 sensor problem

    My truck has about 198k miles on it, so I will probably try and replace the 02 sensor 1st and see if it solves the problem. I just need it to pass emissions and then I will be getting rid of it. Where is that O2 sensor located? Before or after the cat? Is it easily accessible? Also forgot to...

    98 Mountaineer- Upper and lower control arms and ball joints

    The bushings are not bad for what I know. I had Ford tell me to just replace the lower ball joints and I had another shop tell me replace the lower whole arm w/ ball joint. I've been debating back and forth on the lowers and which way to go. The truck is 10yrs old and has about 181k miles. I'm...

    No headlights on 98 Mountaineer

    I do not have the LOM feature on my truck. I have checked all the fuses and they all seem to be good. What else could cause this??

    No headlights on 98 Mountaineer

    Checked the bulbs and they are fine. I checked the interior fuses and they are good. I checked the DRL fuse in the power dist. box and that was good, but did not check the others, will do that next. What is LOM?

    No headlights on 98 Mountaineer

    Thanks for the assistance. I will check the fuses under the hood. And also check the bulbs. One thing I did forget to mention. I can pull the lever back towards me and flash the brights, but when trying to push it forwarded to engage the brights nothing happens.
