check engine light

I am planning on installing a Lovato 5th generation LPG system on my 2010 Ford Explorer 4x4 XLT 4.0L. Is the check engine light going to stay on? Will installing this system affect the motor life span? Any good reasons not to do this? Any good reasons to go ahead and do this? Cheers!

I own a 93 Mazda Navajo, 4x4 (explore) and it keeps running a little rough when giving her enough gas to keep speed. The check engine light will come on when this happens then go off. I know I need a new muffler asap there is a huge hole in it. Well its not even a hole the whole bottom of the...

So, I haven't posted in this forum just yet. Thought I would take the time and offer up a quick fix to several annoying symptoms. I bought a 94 XLT in November 2012. The truck ran well, but pinged real hard as is common in this vehicle. Symptoms began when I moved from the Bay Area to...

Still trying to get my 1992 Ford Explorer 4.0L 4dr Auto 4WD VIN X to run properly. Here's the current situation: It starts fine, runs about 30 seconds, then chugs, loses power, and Check Engine Light comes on. What we've discovered: It is running on only 2 cylinders now. When I pull...

I have a 2006 4.6L Explorer. My check engine light came on. I purchased a OBD reader and found that the code was a P0420. I reset the code. I read in the owners manual to see how to get the vehicle emissions ready for emissions testing. I ran the engine through the profile but the OBD still...

Hello, it's great to have a resource like this Ford Explorer Community. Thank you for your insights and help on this problem. I'm avoiding going to a Ford Dealer and what to, if possible, fix this myself. Any help would be much appreciated. If Fuse #13 (under the hood) blows and that fuse...

Okay, so I posted in this forum a few days ago about my fuel pump not working. Well ever since I tapped the gas tank a few days ago, it has ran like a champ. No problems starting it! I have driven about 200 miles since. I pulled the check engine codes, doing the paperclip method and got...

2000 Explorer XLT 4.0 liter OHC (I think) Has a check engine light constantly on not blinking and had a rough Idle. The #4 piston was misfiring so I changed spark plug and wire and the idle is dramatically better. Probably need to change rest of plugs and wires which will help the idle even...

Hi everyone. I'm hoping I can leverage the expert advice on a problem I'm having recently with my 95 Explorer (121k miles). The vehicle starts fine in cold weather but when it is below 32F, I almost always get the Check Engine Light coming on after 3-4 minutes. The light will stay on for...

I started to notice the ticking noise on my way to work about two days ago. Everytime I would accelerate I would here a constantly ticking, like a belt, until I took my foot off the accelerator and the sound would go away. I didn't think anything of it at first but it sounds unusual since I...
