Here is another design. https://www.amazon.com/Exhaust-Stud-Clamp-Kit-Trucks/dp/B00E4TMK60/ref=pd_sim_263_2? These come in two sizes. somebody in comments said this one is too big for Explorer V6, but there is a smaller version.

Here is the sort of commercial version repair clamp I used, only as say, I have an arc welder and could weld up my own out of half inch bolts for next to nothing. Be aware you dont have lot space to work with on the two outside bolts, pretty close to frame, but it is doable. NICKSON INC...

Yes to the FPR diaphram leaking as being likely problem. If that is not it, look ever so closely at the plastic tube and rubber connectors on tube from MAF to throttle body. I was getting 8 to 9mpg until I found the accordion pleats were worn on bottom of plastic tube where you wouldnt notice...

This is stupidest design ever. In old days there were threaded studs going into the exhaust manifold. The flange fit over the studs, and you used BRASS nuts to tighten it down. The brass nuts wouldnt rust to the studs nor do they rust to some little nub that you cant grab onto. They were also...

I guess Kseal is one of those sodium silicate versions that claims not to jell antifreeze.? I can only assume it has some additive to prevent the sodium silicate from doing this??? Be worth the extra not to have to hassle draining antifreeze, etc. No experience with it, but I do have...

How to Fix a Main Gasket With Liquid Glass Like say, depends on the leak. Can last years. I have had very good luck with it in past. Looking at the automotive versions on Amazon, some claim it can be added directly to antifreeze. Unless they have some added chemical that prevents it...

For what its worth, an old remedy is only one I found that works long term Namely sodium silicate. Its incompatible with modern antifreeze (turns it to jelly) so you have to first drain and rinse cooling system. Then run straight water with the sodium silicate. It will seal most minor leaks...

I am old man and dont drive lot miles anymore so hadnt run tank after modifications. But today took long drive, filling up before I left and after. Secondary road with lot hills and twists and turns. Anyway got gas on way home. 15.83mpg. Yea I know not that impressive, probably average...

If you have one, the EGR is on the drivers side. My drivers side manifold has a flat reinforced area of casting where EGR would be, but it was never drilled out/tapped, whatever.

Just to offer bit hope, think Ford used more than one kind clip over the years. Mine had the simple little plastic U-shape clips. One I just pulled off with my fingers, the other needed bit persuasion with a small flat bladed screw driver. New clips should come with the filter. The real...

First thing I would do on old high mile vehicle, is a cylinder compression check. But like others keep saying, buy or borrow a fuel pressure gauge. Most likely going to be failing fuel pump, clogged filter, or bad fuel pressure regulator. Course could also be bad injector.... or bad plug...

You could try calling. Look here, might help: https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ford,1993,explorer,4.0l+v6,1119620,electrical,engine+control+module+(ecm+computer),2896 If your have federal emissions it should be as shown. But its a FORD and in a transition year so maybe not always as the...

Ok, finally got my pieces. And got to looking around for way to actually glue hard plastic. Seems to be popular fix for plastic radiators, using super glue plus baking soda. Ok picked up fresh box baking soda on last shopping trip and ordered the super economy bundle of super glue off Amazon...

Ok, I bow to knowledge of those fighting the Explorer door handle fight as to the best handle. But will offer bit experience in door handles over the years. First the Volvo 240 potmetal door handles truly sucked, for an upscale car in its time, made one wonder what they were smoking. I even...

Yea doesnt make much sense for new tube to cost what they do. I went over how to make one with 2.5 inch flex exhaust and several silicone connectors, they make them in sizes to fit about anything. But still seemed like lot money for stupid air tube. The weak holey areas are the two accordion...

Oh you are going to like this. I notice the rubber end on air tube that connects to throttle body is chewed up. Ok, pull it off yet again and look close, not only rubber disintegrated in half, but piece of the molded plastic is missing. I go gungho with duct tape and bingo, starts right up...

Ok, with IAC blocked set it for 1000rpm. With IAC unblocked, that went to 1200rpm idle. That seems to done it, power is back. I just took it down county road, didnt take it out on hiway to see if CEL came on. It stayed off during test. Perhaps the automatic transmission codes alone dont...

Ok, it WAS showing all kinds better power. Not anymore. Now when cold no CEL, but it hesitates and surges and just not very nice. When it warms up its about same power as it was with the 3.0L ECM, though its a lot quieter on acceleration, I wont need a second muffler. And after few miles...

No turn signal problems on my 94 Ranger (knock wood), but I have an old 84 F250 that has most horrible electrical problems and I needed it to be legal. I found website showing how to make independent turn signal harness using I think it was four generic Bosch relays. Cant remember now, might...

Ok, update. I just got the ECM in mail. Says 93 Explorer on it but the number wasnt the one I bought. Its an ECM for an automatic transmission 93 Explorer. Ok, first thought is a string of naughty words. But what the heck, popped it in and started Ranger up. High idle and and seemed wee...

Do you have California emissions? 1994 California Rangers had sequential injection and EGR. I hadnt heard of any 1994 Federal Rangers having such. But hey its a Ford, so they could went to sequential injection sometime during 1994 model year when they ran out of older parts. Mine however has...

From way I understand, the 1994 Explorer was sequential injection. The 1994 Ranger and Aerostar with 4.0L were still batch injection. Thus the 94 Ranger 4.0L has more in common with the 1993 Explorer 4.0L. Pretty much the same, at least for Federal versions. I have a 94 Ranger.

I thank you again for your help. Yea, tough call, the truck runs ok. Now whether its got a bad MAF or whether this MAF is incompatible with the 3.0L ECM.... I dont know the guy I bought the truck from, but from some of the other ham handed stuff I have corrected, I am doubting he did...

RockAuto.com is showing Hitachi as OEM manufacturer of the Motorcraft MAF. Ok, will forget the Isumo stuff. I learned my lesson not to buy Chinese in experience with a TPS. Replaced it with genuine Motorcraft, solved that problem, just not always Motorcraft parts available for older stuff or...
