Check the lower intake bolts

If you drove up. parked in the driveway , did the tuneup and immediatley noticed this pinging, It's not the oil on the plugs or anything else. It has to be in the tuneup. Do me a favor...put the old plugs back in and see how it runs.
Keep in mind that on the passenger side, the ignition wires line up cylinder to Power box but on the drivers side, there are two that are swapped.
At an idle you might not notice the fact that the car is running on 4 cylinders but under a load you sure would. Check the wire routing again.
I was just trying to reinforce what has been written previously.She has been told more then twice to check the firing order, improper firing order explains everything! Period! Thats it!
wut oil filter did you use cause fram tends to make a terrible noise occasionally and wut oil cuz full symthtic might be bad for your older motor.
I know someone on here has had my problem... well, hopefully. I did a tune up on my 94 explorer, i did the plugs, wires, and fuel filter. then when i started it and tried to drive, it was making a horible knocking. so needless to say now i have replaced the throttle pulley, serp. belt, coil, power stearing pump, cleaned the egr, and idle sensor, checked ohm levels on the wires, checked the gap on the plugs twice. oh and new alternator. thats all i can remembe right now. but the problem happens when i puch on the gas peddle like going up a hill. then it has no power, and there is a loud like metal knocking almost like an empty can being hit with a rock... lol thats the best i can do sorry. any suggestions??
