    FYI I order this part and it did not fit 100% so I had to return it. Just in case any one else sees this thread. I ended up going to a junk yard and found the part I needed.

    Anti Theft Light Flashing On Dash , Car wont start.

    When it does start does it start strong? When you pick it up, I'd ask them what their plan is when this doesnt solve the problem since you do not think they diagnosed it correctly.

    P0171 & P0174 4.0L SOHC's Sport/Sport Trac

    Zukgod I also had sprayed around and never noticed a change in the idle. We eventually brought it to a shop. They did the smoke test and saw sighs of a leak in several spots right away.

    P0171 & P0174 4.0L SOHC's Sport/Sport Trac

    Zukgod My wife's truck is a Job one and recently we just replaced the intake manifold gasket. That has seemed to fix our issue, which sounds the same as yours.

    2001 explorer sport almost stalls on start up

    So my 2001 explorer sport has been starting really rough lately. It sounds and feels like its going to stall but if you give it some gas it will regulate itself. So far I have cleaned the throttle body and replaced the PCV valve. I did both of those when I was getting a CEL for a vacuum...

    P0171 & P0174 4.0L SOHC's Sport/Sport Trac

    Thank you, I'll look at the linked thread. could the PCV valve be the cause of the P0174? If so I'll replace it for sure, the car has 208K on it so I'm sure it could use a new PCV.

    P0171 & P0174 4.0L SOHC's Sport/Sport Trac

    Hello all, I've read through this thread and am having some trouble. My fiance's 2001 ford explore sport is throwing a P0174 code. I reset the code last weekend just to see if it would come back and it did several days later. I tried searching for the PCV elbow that people have been finding...

    2001 Explore Sport gauge problems (Tach & Fuel)

    My 2001 Sport has been having issues with the gauges lately. I am not sure if its the cluster, sensors or something else. The Tach will randomly go in and out. When its working it reads correctly but when it goes out the needle just rests on the pin. This some times happens at start up and...

    Anti Theft Light Flashing On Dash , Car wont start.

    From everything I ever read there is no way to bypass the PATS system. Do you have an extra key? When my gf's explore had this problem it ended up being the Key. Of course she only had one. If she would try repeatedly (sometimes it would take up to 30 min) she could get it to start. Once it...

    Anti Theft Light Flashing On Dash , Car wont start when its cold outside

    So my gf's car (2001 Explorer Sport) is having problems starting when its cold out side. When it will not start the "Theft" light is flashing very rapidly. If she keeps trying (removing the key, re-inserting it and turning it over) eventually it will start but some times it takes many attempts...

    2001 Explore sport intermittently not starting. HELP

    I'll look into that again today after work. When I checked everything over the weekend all the connections seemed solid. I was thinking it could be the PATS system only problem is my gf only has one key so I cant test with another one.

    Newbie with non starting FEST (Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2001)

    Did you ever locate the problem? My gf's car is doing something similar, I can here the starter relay clicking near the firewall. And the starter was replaced b/c that was the first thing we thought it might be. Still the problem occurs intermittently.

    2001 Explore sport intermittently not starting. HELP

    My gf's 2001 explore sport has been intermittently not starting for the last few weeks. When the problem occurs there is not crack from the engine. The key is turned and nothing happens. No sound is heard from the starter at all. However I can here the starter relay clicking in the relay/fuse...
