Never mind, I just answered my own question. While the port is there on the back of the single disc, there arent any pins in it.

I have an 03 Explorer with the audiophile system meaning it has the factory sub and in dash cd changer. Well, the cd changer has been jammed since I've owned the vehicle, and I want to be able to play CDs. Replacement ford radios on ebay are rather expensive if I want to replace it with the same...

Well, they can't find anything wrong with it. No vacuum leaks, no stored codes, nothing. The only thing they did was clean out the throttle body. It ran great again all day so I'm at my wits end.

Well, I couldn't get an appointment until today. I'll post an update tonight. It has been stalling every stop until last night and this morning. Hasn't stalled in the past 24 hours lol. I think I have a gremlin :D

I have been disconnecting the battery, but I've always done the reprogram procedure that was outlined in the manual and it ran fine for over a week after the last time I disconnected it before I had problems. Also, as you probably noticed by the date on the posts, it used to do it to me once or...

Well, its doing it again. Taking it to the shop on Monday

This is kind of a crapshoot, but there isn't any obstructions in your air intake or exhaust right?

Do the RPMs raise gradually as the gas pedal is applied or does the tach suddenly go from idle to redline? If the rpms are slowly adjusting, I'd say that you probably have a transmission issue. Otherwise I'd check for pending codes and post them here if you find any. Also, you might want to...

I got er done! :D As far as I can tell, its fixed. I'll give it a week before I declare this for sure, but it sure does idle nice. The idle speed as the engine warms (when parked) adjusts super smooth and not in 200rpm chunks like it used to do. I also noticed that when letting off the gas...

Well, the part is coming today. Good thing too, because I think the valve completely failed now. Whenever I let off the gas the rpms drop and the engine won't idle. This even happens when I'm turning and still moving.

I might do that, but I'm not sure. Borg Warner is an excellent manufacturer in my opinion and makes a lot of OEM parts. It has a one year warranty on it too, so I can just make Advance Auto order me another one if it becomes a problem before then. According to a post on here, the BWD is...

I just ordered a Borg Warner IAC from Advance Auto, and I should get it this week sometime. The cleaned valve made a difference, and it worked for a while (I did spray some electrical grade lubricant on the plunger). However, the following day (today) it decided to try to shut off on me 3 or 4...

So, now the problem has evolved a little. When I am approaching a stop, the idle drops by only 100 rpm (form 600 to 500) and stays there for a couple seconds before going back up to 600. The idle rpm is 700 when in park at operating temp and 600 when in drive after its leveled out. Money is kind...

Well, I ended up having the manifold studs and gaskets replaced on both sides and it ended up being $500 all said and done.

Huh, I never though about that being a problem. Since you mentioned that I pulled the boot back that covers the wiring going from the door to the rest of the vehicle and it all looked good (from what I could see, the bundle of wires was wrapped). I hosed down the lock mechanism with silicone...

Thanks for the reply. This was one of the genius ford designs where there isn't a dipstick to check the fluid in the trans, and there are no evidence of any leaks so I'm fairly sure the level would be fine.Diff and drive shaft are fine too. I played around with how I was driving today, and I...

I have a 2003 Explorer AWD v8 that I bought a few months ago. Generally, it shifts great and is very firm but smooth without jerking the vehicle. However, I have noticed that when I am accelerating up hill or starting off on flat ground and give it medium throttle (2,500 to 3,200 rpm) and let...

Well, today it was warmer and it works fine again. Really thinking it is the actuator, but I just wanted to confirm that and see if anybody else had the same issue before.

I have a 2003 Explorer XLT and ever since the weather started getting into the 40's the front passenger power door lock works intermittently. When I hit the button on the remote or the armrest, the lock moves part way, but not all the way. If i hit the button a couple times then it will...

The first thing I would like to say is that I did use the search tool, but was unable to find the exact answer I was looking for. I'm thinking my IAC is shot, but I did clean it and I want to confirm that I'm idling where I should be. Cold start in park: 1100 rpm Cold in drive: 1000 rpm...

It does have an IAC. I cleaned it last night. Seemed to help too. Sadly I only had maf cleaner in the house so I couldn't get it nearly as clean as I wanted. I'll probably just replace it. I also noticed that my heater core bypass valve is broken, and that may be causing a vac leak, which...

Well, I have more to add to this story. It has only ever stalled out once, but it has acted like it wanted to twice more. Now heres the funny part: On my half hour commute, it always happens at the same stop light. I go through 5 lights and a few stop signs, but it always happens at this...

I have a 2003 4.6 Explorer, and I noticed that once a week or so when I go from being on the gas to heavily applying the brake to stop last minute at a light, the rpms drop too far. They go down to about 400 and the engine wants to stall, but when I rev it, then it smooths out and is fine...

I recently purchased a 2003 Ford Explorer with the 4.6 V8. I really like the vehicle, and I noticed today a slight ticking when the engine is cold. Well, I look and sure enough three of the studs for the manifold are snapped off. Strangely enough, the studs snapped right where the nut was, so...

Any help guys? I want to sell this thing sometime this summer so I want to get some things fixed up enough that it will be sell-able. The rear diff sensor I bought was plastic, while the old one was all metal and looks like the ones they put in the 94's, so did I get the wrong part?
