engine problems

I recently bought a 2014 Explorer Sport (3.5 Ecoboost) (140k miles) notably discounted with engine problems. Actually could not get it to start and compression check shows 2/3 front cylinders have no compression. Lead suspicion is blown head gasket, but no signs of that in the oil and I don't...

I have a 99 Explorer with 160k on it. (V6, 4L) About 8 months ago it started to rev hard starting up, jumping to about 3 to 4 RPM. Which was concerning, then slowly it started to rev up when I had my foot on the break at stop lights, fast food, traffic. That slowly turned into revving up and...

Hey I have a question and I was wondering if you guys might know the answer. When I drive in overdrive at about 45 to 50 MPH the engine cuts out and sputters but if I go faster or slower it doesn't do it. It also doesn't do that in drive either. I really don't know why it's doing that. Any...

I've been reading about some similar codes issues here, but have not found the fix yet, and I'm into my local dealership for more than 1,000k and they still can't figure it out- I'm a single mom-help!! Repair#1: started 2 months ago on an interstate freeway in Iowa, car died and alt. gauge...

I just purchased this explorer a couple months ago from my brother and had to replace the timing chains to get it on the road. Lil did I know I was going to use 200+ a week in gas! The only modifications done to the vehicle is upgrade the tires from the factory to Firestone Destination M/T -...
