    99 explorer fuel pressure ?

    well got the new fuel pump, tank and strainer on and still the same thing. I believe its something to do with my fuel since it isnt throwing any codes, maybe a partially clogged injector, fuel damper or something like that? Would a bad computer throw a code? Would a faulty EGR valve cause any of...

    thanx for the info, I got it last night, I read of another users trick, using a 1/2 inch wrench on one side of the fitting and the tool and squeezing them together with a set of visegrips to get the tool all the way in and it worked really good.

    99 explorer stumbles getting onto highway

    my 99 explorer, 4.0 SOHC developed a stumble, it will stumble if you give it alot of gas to get on to the highway, but if you ease into it then it seems ok, and also has a rough idle at a stop light, so I guess you would say it does it under load. When it first did it, I had codes for a misfire...
