- 92 explorer 4x4 sport
Hi, I'm new to the forum so hello everyone.
My problem is that my 92 4x4 5 speed explorer has had an issue with the engine loosing power and bucking back when ever it hits even the smallest bump or pothole. Only happens in gear, no issues when going over a bump in neutral. Havent taken it over 35 the few miles I drove it after the problem started
I believe I have isolated the problem to a cluster of 4 wires sitting between the ignition pack and engine oil filler cap. After cleaning the battery terminals and cables I turned the truck on and started wiggling wires around. After hitting that cluster the truck immediately begin to die and come back to life after letting it be again.
Bought it after it had been sitting for 2 years. Have replaced the following:
Fuel filter
Air filter (K&N)
New Mass airflow housing
Brake lines in rear
And as of 3 weeks ago a new gas tank and fuel pump assembly along with an oil change.
Might be worth it to mention after getting it back from the mechanic for fuel pump/tank. They had left the air intake dissconnected from throttle body which I caught after the 1 mile mile home. Ran fine for two weeks then a couple days ago began to run rough. Noticed another hose going to the intake down a bit from Maf was dissconnected. Put it back ran great for 2 miles then the current problem began.
I've included the best picture I could get if it helps any
Any help or constructive advice would be great. Thanks!
