Would it mean anything if I were to mention that there was a huge trail of smoke behind me when it went out? It’s never had work done on the transmission other than just general maintenance, and it’s got like +250k miles on it. About 10-15k miles ago the transmission filter was changed along...

Whenever you put it in gear and try revving it up to help it into gear, if it actually tries, the engine will bog down for a second and it'll just slip immediately out of gear. And it'll do this every time, no matter if you in reverse, drive, 2,1. Its the same reaction to every gear. I took a...

It appears my transmission went out going up one of the biggest hills around where I live. And behind me was a huge trail of smoke. The entire way up my transmission kept slipping over and over again, but it'd get back into gear. It finally made it all the way up and over, and I just coasted...

Alright, so its winter now, and it brings even more confusion. NOW it runs just fine with the MAF sensor connected (my guess is because its so bloody cold outside). The last thing I did to my explorer, was take off and completely clean the throttle body. But that day, it was like 40 degrees F...

Ive got a new IAC valve (Is this what your talking about? Or is what your talking about something different?), and a new TPS. The last time I checked the codes, it was throwing the code that says "The MAF sensor is or was out of range"(i think its 157, if i remember correctly). And I remember...

Okay, so I'm on my 3rd MAF sensor, and the problem still isn't resolved. When I'm driving down the road, it seems to run just fine. Getting started from a stop it feels quite hesitant, and it bogs down a little too. But if I give it more gas, it picks up and goes just fine. The problem is when...

So I got that new MAF sensor today and put it on. And its driving just fine now. checked the voltage it was sending back to the computer. And at idle it was .7, which is good news. Should I be too worried about the gasket that was between the MAF sensor housing and the air box. At first I...

The fuel pressure was checked and was at 29 at idle and 41 at 3k rpm. and once it was turned off it stayed at idle pressure for 15 mins. Here's the video for today. Just ordered a new MAF sensor since cleaning it clearly did nothing. After I finished this I took it for a drive without the...

Got new spark plug wires on it today. And drove it around a little while it was cold. Until it stalled out and started driving like crap. After about 20 mins of getting it back across my town which is only like 2 square miles to get it parked. Looking through my haynes repair manual and takin...

Alrighty. So I got a new TPS and installed it today. It will actually give me codes now. But its not fixed the reason why its barely running as it is. The two codes it gave me this time was 116 ((O,R) Engine Coolant (ECT) sensor out of range), and 137 ((R) Oxygen sensor not switching/system rich...

Alrght. I'm getting .960 at idle and 4.7 with the throttle fully opened. And the connector itself is getting 5.03. When I slowly open the throttle, right around 1.8 - 2.0 volts. It'll completely drop off and jump right back up. One thing it's doing. Is that when I start it up. It'll get up...

I'm not sure. I do remember unplugging it and plugging it back in while it was idle. And nothing seemed to change. Any idea how I could check it?

The fuel pressure has been tested. Its sits at 28 at idle but when its revved up to 3,000 rpms it jumps up to 40-41. The fuel filter was also changed (old one was pretty hard to blow through.) It then only rose the pressure at idle to 29-30. I did get it to give me a KOEO code of 122 (TP low...

Last time that I ran the codes on my explorer i got a new code 412 (iac causing it to idle to low). So I used some Gumout to try and clean out the iac control valve. When I started it up after that, it seemed to start even stronger than it did before. But when I started to drive it. I got like...

The fuel pressure regulator seemed to be fine. It was tested and was sitting right around 28 pounds of pressure at idle. and up to 40 pounds when it was revved up and held at 3,000 rpm. When it was shut off it held the idle pressure for 15 mins afterwards. The fuel filter was taken off and...

It starts up and runs like a champ. But after about 3-5 mins of it running. It starts running really rough and will eventually shut off all on its own. It smells really bad because of it running so rich. Ive already cleaned the snot out of the MAF sensor, knocked out both catalytic converters...

So I was headed out to my grandparents in my 93 explorer. And as I was just coming out of this turn i put my foot down on the gas and all of the sudden i felt it just give up and loose power. Like the engine wouldn't even rev up. I was up in over drive and I shifted it down to just normal drive...

Alrighty so that's like $800 - $1000. Or say if im looking for a new (refurbished) transmission. Do I HAVE to find an A4LD? Or can I use one from something else. Something a little more durable... And on the subject of rebuilding transmissions... What would be the possibility of rebuilding my...

I've had my 93 explorer for almost about a year now. And it has always made this winding/clanking sound (don't really know how to explain it) when I'm coasting down a road. When I give it gas, it goes away immediately. And it doesn't always make that sound when coasting. Honestly, I've never...

Before I took apart the wiring to hook it up to the new radio I plugged it all back up (harness, and stock radio) and the lights still didn't turn on.

I just recently installed a new aftermarket radio, and when I finished I noticed none of my interior lights turn on now. They did before. My dash lights and all of my windows can roll up and down (well not the ones that need new window motors.) But anyways. Its been annoying reaching around in...
