Hello Everybody, I recently purchased a 1995 Explorer Limited with the 4.0 OHV engine. It was running smoothly with lots of power, but then suddenly during a cold start, I heard a loud pop and then it began running poorly, with a low, lumpy idle, a significant reduction in power, apparent...

I’m going to attempt to change the fuel filter on my 2000 OHV and was wondering how to depressurize the fuel line. I’ve read that unplugging the inertia switch and then cranking the engine until the fuel runs out, is the best way. I’ve also read that removing the fuel pump fuse and then cranking...

Ok so I’ve been having issues with a combination of pulling to the right, shaking at higher speeds, and a whum whum sound that has a regular rhythm. Been chasing this gremlin for a little while but am getting tired of throwing money at it (more specifically the wife is getting tired of it) and...

Hey, i got the infamous OD light flashing on me... And at first the truck was all normal. But now when i stop at a Junction to wait on a car its like the converter stops working. You can push Down the throtlle, and rev the engine. But you won't move before you change it from "drive" to "1" gear...

Hello! I have a 1998 4.0ohv 4wd. Recently I got the p1309 code and also the p0171,p074 bank 1 and 2 lean codes. I proceed to change out the Cam Position Sensor and syncro. I did them both correctly exactly by the book. Made sure to put the engine at top dead center ect. I reset the computer (...

I know this question has been asked a lot but I need help. I bought this exploder and it has a hard start situation most of the time and check engine light with the infamous lean bank 1 and 2. The hard starting is random, sometimes it will start right up after sitting overnight. Temperature...

Hello fellow X owners. After some research and a few mind changing finds, I have come to ask a for the knowledge of the elders. My factory clutch driven fan is cracked between blades like almost all of our plastic fans are. My clutch is fine so I can reuse that. But I was looking for non plastic...

So I've know that I had a few minor leaks since I got my Explorer last year. I just recently replaced my valve cover gaskets and cleaned up that minor oil leak. Now I have a coolant leak that seems to be getting worse. I had thought it was this hose here This is on the bottom driver side of the...

Debating on the idea of converting my RWD Explorer Sport into a 4x4. Has anyone attempted this and any idea on what parts might be needed? I do have a Manual Transmission and wondering if that would affect anything. Any ideas are welcome and would be greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone! I just did a head job and with that added Pacesetter headers to my OHV engine. They dont seem to line up perfectly with the y pipe. Has anyone had this experience before? Do I just need to get better bolt and torque them down as hard as i can? Also can anyone confirm that there...

Can anyone verify for me that a Gen 1 aluminum intake plenum will fit my 98 OHV? I've heard that the smooth plastic from the Gen 2 may flow better, but I'd really like to convert it to the metal intake both for quality/"Metal! H*ll Yeah!". I'd likely paint it and maybe some light porting. Any of...

Hey guys! Hope I'm posting this in the right spot. I've looked around and I may very well be blind but I couldn't find a specific answer to my question so I thought I'd just ask. I have 2 99' Explorers: 09/99 SOHC XLT UQ Automatic (5 speed I believe?). VIN number has the "E". 04/99 OHV...

Is it just as simple as removing the bolts and putting the new one on? Or is there a trick to it? I've heard about the bolts breaking but that's all the info I can find on this site.

Need a rust free good set of valve covers for my 2000 explorer 4.0 ohv. Apparently doing the gaskets twice in a lil over a year has not stopped the oil leak and now im trying to find a good set and have had no luck locating them in the aftermarket parts

Hay explorer forums. I've got a 95' 4.0 OHV Explorer with a small leak that appears to be coming from the oil filter mount (not the filter). I've done some research and have even found another topic to reference. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=233462 What I need to...

Hey so I am soon to be acquiring a eaton m90 supercharger with a custom intake plenum for the OHV 4.0 and am thinking of running it at about 6-7 psi I know their is things that are needed for proper tuning such as bigger fuel injectors but what else would I need any help would be great

I'm trying to find out the max acceptable heat/temp I can expose pushrods and/or rockers to, without damaging them. It is known that the 4.0L-OHV has poor top end / valve train oiling; often leading to premature wear of pushrod ends and pushrod cups in the rockers. So, I thought I would try...

Hello, I have a 98 explorer with 198K miles, its a standard if that matters with the OHV engine. So I have two questions, first, The guy I bought it from stuck a piece of cardboard between the radiator and the grill so that the temp gauge will rise to about a quarter inch below the N in NORMAL...

So as the title says, the head gasket let go on my 96 Ranger 4.0 OHV @ 163,000 kms. It was an external leak on the passenger side. Pissed coolant all over the ground and was running hot - but not quite at "H", and I limped it home. Since a pricey repair is a questionable investment at this...

I'm looking to convert my 2WD OHV to 4WD, yeah I know how much easier it is to just buy a 4x4 X instead of going through this process but I really love my truck and I have the money right now to do this. As far as I know I'll need a transfer case, front and rear drive shafts, front diff to match...

Hi fellas! It's been a long time since I've had to post regarding some sort of problem... Here's the deal: I have a 1997 Explorer (4.0L OHV) that my mother and stepdad gave me about a 1 1/2 yrs ago. When they gave it to me, they neglected to inform me that it has always had a clogged oil...
