- 96 Explorer Sport Utility
Hi I'm Joe This is my first meeting.
A lot to say so I'll jump right in.
Someone owed me $100 and it was returned to me in the shape of a 96 Explorer 4.0 OHV SU.
The thing couldn't get out of it's own way. But it Ran. So I thought should be easy. Scanner says;
Miss fire cyl 1
Miss fire cyl 6
blahblah ETC sensor
blahblah DPFE sensor
Okay let me be clear this truck is a money pit waiting for a sucker; and here one comes.
Wires to both 1,6 no good Replaced with new set and plugs
both codes vanished
Replaced ETC "POOF" code no more
took off the radiator cap to view rust lvl.... empty no water in the big black container. Found out this truck was being driven all over hell with no love at all
Checked oil 3qts low
Flushed rad and eng filled with new stuff
drained oil replaced with new and PROPER filter the one that came off was smaller than my...fist (new one 1qt cap.) oil smelt like fuel
Replaced DPFE poof no more code
new code
system lean bank 1
enough blow by blow, in my efforts to fix this #%^! lean code the following parts were dead and/or dying so here's what has been replaced
MAF
IAC
TPS
upper lower intake gasket
plenum gasket (all the associated gaskets)
Rad cap
gas cap
fuel filter
fuel pump module
fuel injectors
......POOF.....no more lean code
new code
System too rich bank 1
Can you believe that? WTF ford?
no fuel in vac line to FPR Fuel pressure cycles to 30psi KOEO and holds firm
crap lost my train of thought oh fuel pressure jumps to 45psi when vac removed KOER and returns to 30psi when line connected I got 14.3v to FP when checking voltage drop and 0.3 on neg side
I have data from mode $06 I'll attach it if I can
the O2 sensors were a exhausty rust color of a lean system when I first took them out, after a week of trying to figure out the rich code they are jet black. My 72 Explorer F250 was a dream to work on THIS Creature is a Nightmare.
So Hi, my name is Joe and I am considering using my Ford Sport Utility for target practice
P.S.
compression test shows 5 cyl at 125 and holding 1 cyl at 150 and holding (go figure, that's a tuff little motor) 275k miles I ran it today, to get a fresh data set
P.M.S.
If I get this .HTML attached, (well that's a bust)
overlook the data for O2 voltage (Bank 1, Sensor 2)
I forgot to stick it back in.
That's pretty much my headache.
Hoping someone can offer me some Aspirin
