    strange problem, need help

    Chances of all the coils going bad at once is slim. I am looking for more information on the CPS man.

    strange problem, need help

    Tuner, programmer, computer, it all amounts to same thing. They have programs that can change the ignition timing. I doubt anyone has done that here. Like I said I wish you had a spare PCM to swap out. Something is making it misfire badly and I believe if it was the coils the PCM would throw a...

    What exhaust is that man?

    strange problem, need help

    The ignition timing can be adjusted by hooking it up to a computer. Too bad you did not have another PCM to test this with. To see if yours is bad or not.

    strange problem, need help

    Been throwing me for a loop since he showed it to me. I have heard it run on the phone even and I can't hear it do it.

    strange problem, need help

    Time to take the plunge man. Have to dig into the wiring and find the problem. Probably something stupid also just have to find it.

    strange problem, need help

    That is definitely weird man. Still no codes? The motor does not seem to run to badly but it does misfire. What wires did you put on it? http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=128121 Have a look at that man.

    strange problem, need help

    Try cleaning it is what I would do first. See if it helps any. Have you run the wires going to the sensors yet? If not I would do that also.

    strange problem, need help

    It could be bad from all the crap it has been getting. No it is not the temp sensor. That should throw it for both sides like you said. I am wondering if it messed it up when they were switched or not.

    strange problem, need help

    Get the fuel lines as well. Don't make them. Should be the same on the other end and the bends are most likely the same. Not sure why they would have two different setups to these things. Maybe any earlier model then decided to change them and make them replaceable. I really have no clue why...

    96 explorer parting out

    Another one for you Karl. Do you have the cruise control switches for a 98? How much for them with shipping to 49305? Mine don't even push down anymore so I don't think they are any good anymore lol.

    strange problem, need help

    I pmed you my number man. It is like 8:30 here now. If you don't get a hold of tonight call me tomorrow. When you pull the line off the fpr put your thumb over it and see if you have vacuum. That occurred me to me also. You might be losing vacuum which is causing the fpr not to work. I don't...

    strange problem, need help

    Usually have to have a code reader with live data for it. If the pulling the line off the fpr did not change the way the motor ran it could be stuck open I guess. Which would just dump fuel and regulate it of course. Do you have a pressure tester? I don't want you to replace it and have it not...

    No fuel out of the FPR? Did you run the MAF test and clean it?

    '99 5.0 AWD Front Driveshaft Options?

    I was wondering if putting it together with some bolts and nuts beforehand might seat things together better. You just answered that question for me thank you. Couldn't you turn the shaft until the both the holes and the u-joint line up before putting any bolts in? That way you do not have to...

    '99 5.0 AWD Front Driveshaft Options?

    I will adhere to this very closely. Might have to wait a bit though as temps dropped into the teens here today and winds are strong. Started snowing also, Wish I had moved I like I planned to this summer lol. Oh well waiting on parts now anyways. Hope to do an update as it progresses.

    how do i rewire the audio system in my 97 explorer

    They did not do it in mine and it works fine. Get a fit kit ( a good one ), get and wiring connector, and for the love of god do not cut those wires behind the dash. Dead Link Removed there should be some information there that will help you out.

    '99 5.0 AWD Front Driveshaft Options?

    I don't have to worry about taking the shaft out as the genius I got it from took it out for me. He was smart enough to save all the parts for me though. I planned on doing the u-joint also. I figured it was out and so why not do it. I ordered the parts last night and started stripping the drive...
