1992 Ford Explorer, XLT manual tranny, 4 L 3.73 gears stock etc etc New to posting, but I've Lurked here for a while, I've searched everywhere and I just can't figure this out. What's Wrong This problem only occurs when it is hot outside, and generally if not always after the engine is still...

I noticed at the beginning of the week that my garage smelled like gas. I had my husband look under my Explorer and discovered that it was leaking fuel on the passenger side under the back door. It is currently at the dealership and they have "ordered a part" that seems to be on backorder. I...

Bought my new 2013 Ford Explorer Limited in January 2013. I know the car is not broken in but every since I've received it, no matter how it was driven it gave me 14.2 mpg. Now it is April 2013 and I am starting to smell fuel leaking somewhere. I've taken it to the local ford dealership and...

My 1999 Explorer runs rough at idle when could. The mechanic that looked at the problem thought the fuel pump was the problem. He tested the pump and it only gave around 13-15 psi when running at idle, and he ment it was supposed to give around 30psi. He changed the pump, and it did not help at...

So for the past couple of months, I have been having issues with my fuel gauge not working properly and then my check engine light coming on. Upon researching, it looks like this is a very common problem. Well I went to start my truck Sunday and it would not fire up. It acted just like if the...

What kind of fuel do you use in your rig? After Hurricane Sandy hit NY, I was forced to use Premium 92 Octane Gas for a few weeks because that was all that was available to me. I noticed NO difference in performance and mileage during that time. My truck seems to run well on BP 87 Octane. Does...

Have 2002 Explorer. Twice this month, it would not start, it would turn over, but not start. Then suddenly started. Yesterday, drove to store, no problems, and when I came out, it would not start. It acts like it wants to start, but wont kick in. I can hear the fuel pump and the safety...

Hi All, Thanks for all the great info that you have put together on this site, hopefully I will become knowledgable enough to contribute in future. Truck has run great for the two years that I have had it, have replaced a lot of suspension parts, and front wheel hubs (roads are murderous)...

I have been having a helluva time with my 91 Explorer Sport (2 Door, Manual). Last Thursday it died at the store, got it restarted and it went about 100 yards before it acted like it was out of gas and died. After realizing that the fuel pump was not engaging I replaced the Fuel Pump, Fuel...

I have a 1996 4wd explorer with a 4.0. Everything is stock including the tire/wheel size. The truck only has 108k miles on it. Over the last few months my fuel mileage has gotten worse and worse. I'm barely getting 10 mpg now. The plugs and wires are about 8 months old and I've changed the oil...

Fuel pump is out, less than a year old. I'm going to replace it but I would like to know which are the best for performance and durability. Airtex? Carter? ????? Thank You for the guidance, the one I have is under warranty but who wants to risk it for what the cost vs work it is to replace it...

I have a 2000 Explorer, 2 door (sport, but not sport trac?), 4WD, 6 cylinder, SOHC, automatic. I've had it for 2 years. My truck is using more fuel than it used to and I'd like to know what factors can cause that before taking it into a shop for diagnosis. I live in Toronto and only have...

Changing the fuel pump in a few, and wondering how to go about relieving the fuel pressure. I have a 99' Explorer Eddie Bauer 4.0 SOHC. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks :)

Hi everyone, 1999 Explorer Eddie Bauer 4.0L SOHC 134k miles I've been having fuel pump issues of late, but it does not appear to be the fuel pump itself, as the problem is intermittant. It will occasionally turn over but not start (fuel pump silent), but it when it does, it runs...

the other day my 2004 Sport Trac died while i was driving down the road. i towed it to the house, and determined the fuel pump was bad by: 1) listening to the tank (no buzzing when key is turned to run) 2) checked the fuel pump fuse, still good 3) checked the relay connections for power, got...

i have a 2001 ex sport 4.0 , i think my fuel pump is going bad so i checked the pressure, hooked up gauge turned on the key and got 40 psi, started the truck and got 62 psi. but at WOT it drops to 40psi, and after idling for a few min the needle will bounce from 60 to 62... is this normal??? the...

My timing chain broke and in an effort to see which or if my cam shafts are spinning I cranked the engine without valve covers. I had the fuel pump disabled as well as the spark plug lines, but something sparked and set that insulating foam b/w the upper intake and the motor on fire. Some things...

I have a 1996 Explorer 4D 4x4 4.0L. I recently replaced a bad fuel pump, and also installed a new tank and hanger assembly. Until I did this, the gas gauge worked just fine. After install, it does not move off the bottom below 'E'. Dropped the tank and checked it with the pump removed from...

Hi all, This is my first post on the forum, but I've been using the extremely useful tech tips to do a bunch of regular maintenance projects on my B3000. But here's an issue I really need help with: Sometimes the truck starts and runs without any problem. Other times, especially when it...

Having the following problem with my instrument cluster: Tachometer Stuck at 3200RPM(ish) while running) moves up but not down. Fuel gauge not working. Low Oil pressure all the time (about half way up, never moves, even after a oil change) Engine always says its about a 1/4 over in the...

Hi, i have a 1999 eddie bauer explorer and it has been giving me problems. I ran out of gas one day and after i filled it up it was fine for about a week or so. Then out of nowhere the engine would die randomly but start up again and be fine for a few days. Then finally it just wouldnt keep...

little history, I buy a car with around 100000 miles for cash and run it till it dies. my caravan that had 220000 + miles just went on me, so not cost effective to repair. After 7 years of the same car I bought my dream truck, a 2001 Ford sport trac. looks awsome...or so I thought, the guy I...
