4.6

2002 Ford Explorer Limited 4.6 V8 for sale for parts - car had 128K on it when the engine was pulled. Clean title, no engine. Was going to swap in a DOHC engine, but plans changed. SUV is in great shape, no body issues, no mechanical issues aside from missing engine. Comes with optional tow...

I just ordered a set of exhaust manifolds from Dorman. In the picture from RockAuto they showed it coming with the OEM type multi layer steel exhaust gaskets but when they arrived they had the graphite type gaskets. Does anyone have any experience with the graphite type gasket on the 4.6? Do...

Hello everybody. I'm new to Explorerforum, but I'd like to make a post about my 2002 Explorer XLT 4x4 4.6. I love this car, but recently I've run into transmission issues that make the car un-drivable. I just recently hit 240,000 miles and I've been waiting for a problem like this to happen. My...

Hello all, I am new to the forum. I have a 2005 4.6 Limited and about a month ago after driving to work it would not start. Just crank and crank. When the tow showed up it started and drove onto the truck, but upon getting home refused to start. I started cheapest and replaced fuel filter which...

Hello everyone. My 2006 explorer 4.6 v8 has a ticking sound coming from the engine. Im currently deployed and trying to help my wife pin point the spot. Im not 100% sure if its a lifter, exhaust leak or what it could be. I know it has gotten louder over the past 3 months and i think the sound...

Phase 1 of 3 was to finish rebuilding the '94's engine and get it back on the road. Phase 2 of 3 has begun. See if the '03's engine is salvageable. Should just have two blown head gaskets. Heater core hose check valve (?) busted on the previous owner causing an over heat. A friend and his...

Ive had this car for a few months now. Bought it as my first vehicle up here in MI as a winter beater since the motor was already giving issues. Thankfully it lasted me long enough to get thru the winter but the motor no longer runs. Now that the weather is nice out i thought id take some time...

I've got a 06 Ford Explorer 4.6 with the tow package that has around 133k on it. I bought the vehicle a couple of weeks ago and have no idea of its history. My question is would it be good medicine to replace the timing chain, timing guides, and tensioners while I do all the regular maintenance...

So I've been reading this forum like crazy regarding ticking/tapping/knocking coming from the 4.6... I have 02 Limited 4.6 with 128k and upon startup there's no noise (sometimes misfire, due to oil in plug wells, gonna change the intake mani and coils soon). Shortly after it warms up - 5...

Good day, quick backstory. Purchased about a year ago 2003 4.6 Mercury Mountaineer. Engine was replaced back in 2012 with a 4.6 from Mustang. Truck runs smooth, no lights or anything but it has a noise that sounds like coming from engine. Already replaced tranny, TC and flexplate thinking that...

(( In case anyone asks, this truck has seen 165k+ miles, primarily around the New Jersey coastline where it is really wet & salty. Hence he surface corrosion on nearly everything and the quarter panel )) Originally I replaced this idle pulley yesterday, which had been stuck long enough to...

I am not seeming to have any luck over the past week or so. I have a 96 Explorer that is stuck in drive, and now my 2002 4.6 V8 is not shifting out of first. Any ideas what this could be? It's frustrating having both flipping out on me right now. Thanks in advance.

Since there isn't a ton of information on the site about this, I thought I would add more info on the spark plug change thing for the 3 valve. Truck: 2008 (?/2007 - before the change at factory for whatever revision was made - had black coil boots). 92k miles. Prep: This wasn't covered...

I'm having a problem in my 2004 Mountaineer 4.6 with coolant leaking from the left and right sides of the intake manifold (mostly the by the thermostat housing) and think it is the upper intake manifold gasket that needs replacing. I've read a lot that these manifolds are prone to cracking and...

Hi, I'm Bryan. I have had many Fords and several Explorers including Sports and 4 doors. I currently have a 2010 Limited with a 4.6. It is AWD. Previously on my Eddie Bauer I had the options: auto, 4x4 hi, 4x4 low. I found I had better control in the Eddie Bauer in the snow. My limited...

ok gang, My "Service Engine Soon" Light came on today. I took it over to advanced auto and the there was one one code being thrown... Misfire in cylinder 6. My 1st thought was the plug or the coil has gone bad. I pulled the coil (1 screw) and the plug to see if there was anything obvious...

Hey everyone, I already did a search and read a couple posts regarding this issue. Just wanted to get a quick answer as why this happened. The side plastic from the intake manifold cracked. The hole is about 3" x 1.5". Wondering why this happened and would this show some kind of...

I havent seen anything on the forum about this...but I just had an engine swap about last week. Went from 02 Explorer 4.6L to 03 Mounty 4.6L. Added explorer harness to the new engine but 1 connection doesnt fit. It looks like both connectors have the same color wires. Wondering if i can...

Since we have the 4.6 can we do any mods the mustangs use? I want to get pulleys, an intake manifold, upper intake, Throttle body, bigger MAF housing, bigger injectors. and ill probably make an e-fan by using the other posts on here as my guide. I was just wondering if any one has these...

Hey guys, I have a 02 Explorer with the 4.6 (Romeo) motor. It has a right timing chain noise. Either the tensioner or guide either way Im going to replace everything. I see that theres a little opening in the timing cover from where the chain has been hitting it. I've done some...

I'm new here and was just wondering what I should do? 4.6L vs. 5.0L vs. 351 and whats involved to do this on a 95 explorer sport (2dr). And the pros and cons. Just asking advice.

Well, my first time on this forum. Hope anyone can help me. I have a 2002 Explorer 4.6V8. However the engine broke down. In sweden there aren´t many new engines to find. Can I replace it with a 5.4V8? Would there be any problem?
