Well I could not get the coat hanger or the tape to hit the unlock button. It was very hard to slide the tape or the hanger far enough over to the button. The easiest entry point was the top reAR CORNER OF the door. I could get the tape or the hanger to have enough force to hit the button from...

I think it may be the shims in between the caliper and the bracket... they are missing and a groove has wore....thinking i might need a new or used bracket

1996 Explorer Sport 4.0 4wheel disc brakes. I started noticing a loud clanking noise coming from the rear of the truck when I would get close to the center median or on a bridge. I pulled off rear driver wheel to see that my Caliper is very loose and the whole thing along with the rotor...

I went through the vaccuum lines again to make sure everything was hooked up correctly. Then began to pull wires to check plugs. When pulling plug wire on cylinder 5 &6 I noticed a small black burn mark in wires. When I touched it the casing was brittle aand peeled off easy. To test i wrapped in...

no on my 96 they wrap around the back...I never had to take them off ....i took them off the coil pack so It would make things a little easier... I took it for a drive today to fill it up with gas to see if that did anything.. I noticed besides my CEL none of my other lights were working (...

well i never figured wrong wire on plug since i replaced them while back and its run great since.... not for sure what you mean egr gasket??..... it went back together the same way it came apart

before i spend money on a coil pack i think i will work my way up to that....i started cheap with things that will need replaced anyway. The intake manifold gaskets were bad and would need to be replaced anyway. 1. Intake Manifold Gaskets- No Fix 2. Fuel Filter- No Fix 3. Air Filter- No Fix...

I replaced spark plugs and wires 10k ago... since it said it was misfiring on cylinder 6 i pulled plug on that one and it was ashy...cleaned it and put it back in....not really a difference. Overall I can say the stutter is not as bad as before the plenum gaskets but is still noticabley there...

was able to get everything back together. Check engine light is off. Still vibrates and has less power like the cylinder is misfiring. Confused. gonna check the plug.... see what else i can find on here

just got the intake off.... gaskets are flat....good thing? i hope....was right about the egr....that was a &^%$# but i took it slow and was able to remove it in about 15 minutes...

why will it be a pain? and hints or advice if i run into trouble?...

I think I have a pretty good idea of what to do... I got part the plenum gasket set at oreillys...4.99. I have my chiltons and found a how to on here with pictures... The only thing I am a little confused about...The gasket comes with the three "o-ring" gaskets but it also comes with three...

It seems the Intake Manifold Gasket is the only universal problem for these codes. I will begin there. Must I replace the valve cover gaskets when replacing the upper intake manifold gasket?

I checked the VIN and it is an X... To correct my earlier statement. My engine is OHV not SOHC. Any advice?...

as i was looking up parts I noticed it should be the OHV... I have been under the assumptions since buying this truck 3 years ago it was a sohc.. I stand corrected..i will check the vin tho

Thank you very much... I will reasearch them all...If anyone can give me any tips on where I should start that would be great... Fuel filter...o2 sensors... Spark Plugs and Wires were both replaced 10k ago.

Ok I went and pulled the codes. There are 5. p0171 p0420 p0306 p0153 p0174 Have not researched these...will now..I know one was 6th cylinder misfire..not good

Thanks, I will run at lunch and check the codes, then post them.

I have a 96 X SOHC 4.0 SPORT. It has recently gotten cold here in Oklahoma so I started my X this morning and let it warm up for about 10 minutes. I got in my truck and when i TOOK off I noticed a small vibration in the steering wheel. When I got on the highway I noticed my check engine light...

Need some assistance with this I have 96 explorer sport 2wd. Was replacing my starter when I came across this. Before beginning I wanted to see if it worked and it did! I used factory code and it locked and unlocked my doors. I then disconnected battery and replaced my starter. I cannot get it...

Yes that will be done tomorrow. I pulled it tonight so I can take in for core. I figured if anything that would be it. Do you recommend the reman or brand new? $40 dollar difference but they both have the lifetime so?? If anyone could recommend a cheaper route that would be great. As it is the...

Udatefor any one reading this..I put a new ignition switch in today. I go to start it and it clicks at the solenoid up by the battery. I put a new solenoid in and it does the same thing. I crossed the posts on the solenoid located on started and the gear spins but does not engage. Dropped the...

So being that it is a 5 speed will it not work? I know severeal different transmissions will fit into my older truck whether they are 3 speeds or 4 speeds.
