- 1999 Ford Explorer
My mom inherited a 1999 Explorer 4X4 4.0 SOHC in a contested probate. It sat for 6 months, and when she finally went to start it, it wouldn't fire. She took it to a shop and they changed the fuel pump. Now it starts, but runs terrible. It will fire on first crank, but idles rough, stalls on decel, and is extremely rough and sluggish under load.
Codes are:
0301 Miss Cylinder 1
0303 Miss Cylinder 3
0304 Miss Cylinder 4
0305 Miss Cylinder 5
0306 Miss Cylinder 6
0171 Lean on Bank 1
0175 Rich on Bank 2
Changed plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter. MAF looked clean, checked most of the vacuum hoses, and didn't see any cracks or signs of leakage. Pulled ~19inHg of vacuum. I'm leaning toward telling her to sell the truck as-is, unless there is something easy/common that I might be missing. I have very little mechanical skills or tools.
What's next?
