    Driver door moved forward

    Funny thing that walmart lol. I was working there at the time. I figured tire and lube would be an easy oil change after my shift. After that accident, I had all sorts of problems from managers until I left. They claimed that the cameras needed repair and that there was no report filed with them...

    Driver door moved forward

    That's what it may be. Before my wife and I got the truck, that fender was bent a good bit by an accident that the previous owner had been in. I didn't consider that might be part of the problem. It hadn't been an issue until the wind blew the door forward. I wish that I could take photos as...

    Driver door moved forward

    Hey folks, A couple of months ago I had an issue with a Walmart tire and lube in which they pulled my truck backwards while the driver door was open and it hit a pole, and the door itself was moved forward. In other words, the door hinges became misaligned. I followed the instructions that I...

    gear shift repaired but only moves between R and 3rd Gear

    After trying to figure it out for a couple of days, I ended up taking it to a shop in Pooler Ga. It turns out that a part within the steering column had broken along with the original Steering Column Assembly. It may in fact have been the part within the steering column locking up (when it...

    Not good... Okay, I got a dremel and got everything apart just fine Except, I found that a black covered electrical wire from the very top of the steering column, above the top blue switch, had somehow broken just about at it's connector. Secondly, I had everything else going back together...

    Gear Shift Broke Off in Hands!!!

    Interestingly enough, I ordered the dorman 905-104 part from amazon and then realized that there was no dremel tool at my home anymore so I ordered a new one a few hours later, also from amazon. The dorman part got here yesterday but the dremel said that amazon transferred the package to the...

What a time to break. Anyhow, I just got off of...

    2002 Ford Explorer XLT 4x4 4.0L 6cyl->Where are the fuel injectors?

    Thanks plasticseng. I tested the fuel injectors and they were all good. Want to hear a good dunce moment? A Jeff Foxworthy's Here's Your Sign Moment??? Hopefully you'll get a great laugh.

    2002 Ford Explorer XLT 4x4 4.0L 6cyl->Where are the fuel injectors?

    I haven't had the chance to work on the truck over the past couple of days due to family issues and tomorrow and the next day are my wife's birthday and our anniversary so again I won't get to touch the truck. I have a mechanic telling me not to open the manifold unless the three fuel injectors...

    2002 Ford Explorer XLT 4x4 4.0L 6cyl->Where are the fuel injectors?

    Correct, no codes at all. I read yesterday morning that fuel injectors can throw several different codes or even none at all. At this point, it seems like it could be anything and that worries me.

    2002 Ford Explorer XLT 4x4 4.0L 6cyl->Where are the fuel injectors?

    Thank you very much. So I have to pull off the manifold. In answer to your question, yes. I have tried everything that has been posted so far to my threads, and that's not just talk. I really have tried everything mentioned so far. This truck was great before it stopped running. Now I wish that...

    Hiya folks, This explorer and I are going all the way to the beyond it seems to find why it won't start. It will crank but but start. Anyhow, the next step that I am trying is to test the fuel injectors...the only catch is that I can't see them anywhere. I checked the haynes manual and to be...

    2002 Explorer XLT 4x4 4.0L 6Cyl-will start but almost immediately cuts off

    I just removed the IAC and cleaned it using throttle body cleaner, and I also tested the spark plugs and I have spark although I could not tell it the spark was igniting at even intervals. Some sparks were bright and, if any were really there, others were very hard to see. I may have simply not...

    2002 Explorer XLT 4x4 4.0L 6Cyl-will start but almost immediately cuts off

    I keep hearing a lot of different things. On Edmunds site, a ton of people with various Explorers have this same problem but no one actually comes back and says that they were able to diagnose the problem and fix it. Some said that it could be the Idle Air Bypass Valve... could that be it? I...

    2002 Ford Explorer 4x4 XLT 4.0L 6cyl SOHC->Engine not getting gas

    Well lo and behold, I turned the key in the ignition and it turned over and started to crank. I tried this several times and one time, it actually ran for about 10 seconds before cutting off. Most of the time, it would cut off right after the engine would start. So, I turned the key to On and...

    2002 Ford Explorer 4x4 XLT 4.0L 6cyl SOHC->Engine not getting gas

    I have been searching for "how to" pages and videos on how to test the vacuum hoses but they all mention having the truck running when you test. My truck will only "try" to start, without getting gas, it's not going to run. Can I still do a vacuum test somehow?
