Hi all, I just completed a engine replacement on my 02 Ford Explorer XLT 4.0. Runs and drives great when cold, but once it warms up a couple different codes pop up. When they appear, the engine stumbles when idling to the point that it kills itself. Occasionally, it will hesitate and stumble...

Hey, I had a long discussion with y'all earlier about my engine running like s***, turned out to be a stuck open injector- and I'm infinitely thankful for the help. But there's something else strange about my car that has irritated me for a long time. About 99 out of every 100 times I drive it...

Had to disconnect battery for other maintenance on my 94 XLT. Now I am having severe drive ability problems such as severe hesitation very poor acceleration. I tried a second reset to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions? This is making the vehicle almost impossible to drive.

So I bought this 2000 ford explorer about a year ago and have been happy with it for the most part. However as of late I was noticing that the power seemed to have dropped a little bit which I attributed to age. But now a few other symptoms have appeared. When I'm driving down the road the car...

I'm having an issue when I'm holding speed, the truck starts shuddering and starts losing power then picks it back up and starts all over again. On the interstate it will shift back and forth It's like it loses torque at cruising speed. I recently did a tune up on it and it ran perfect for a...

It also idled a little low for my taste and shuttered from time to time. It is a 2004, 4.6, with the "drive by wire" throttle. It was doing this when...
