i fixed it, i unplugged the MAF sensor to put the air filter in and forgot to plug it in :(

i though about that too and the wires look ok, but the boots are cracked, but they were cracked before too.

they are champion plugs btw, could it be the plugs? they were like 1.xx each. i tried to get OE plugs, but they were out of stock.

ok, they were all on good. I took the front plug out and tried to see if it sparked when i cranked the motor and i didnt see anything (i only cranked it a couple times) i also put the old plug in the #6 (i think, the front driver side plug) and its still doing the same thing. i cant believe...

ok, ill double check em real quick. thanks.

so im swapping my plugs, theyve been in there for a while. I swapped my drivers side bank, not huge problems. I decide to crank my motor over to see if there are any problems. To my (not so ) surprise, there are. It idles harder than it usually does, and i get a CEL. I got the right boots going...

I need to replace mine. How hard is it to do? im assuming i just take out the old ones, and reconnect the new ones right? has anyone done this before?

to work on my explorer. Some things i want to do to it are: Get a little more power. At least enough to bark the tires from a standstill and not have to have my floot through the floor to keep up with SoCal freeway traffic. How much are a good pair of headers? reccomended brands? I just...

1994 eddie bauer 4.0 V6 4 sp auto i think stock gears tires are stock size (29" iirc) no mods it is 4wd i get 13mpg if im lucky and i try real hard, city driving, 12 if i drive normal (sort of a heavy foot)

at ~180k i cant chirp the tires at the beach. All stock. ive only been driving it for the last 10k miles, so its always been this slow.

thats not very good for the oil after a while, at first, its like a detergent, but after a while, the ATF will make the engine not happy i believe. no clue what could be causing it.

i always wondered that too, but yea, they're pretty slow, i cant break the tires on the dry.

So ive been reading arouind the forum a bit, it it made me remember some problems i have. When i go into 4wd mode (little push buttom) i cant come back out. I push the button, and it makes a really loud 'whirring' sound, gets worse with speed. The only way ive found to get it back into 2wd...

i dunno, it was 60 bucks for a 4 wheel alignment. Mabye they just put 4w alignment all the time?

i greased it up yesterday, and no luck, still does exactly the same thing. Ill probably hit up a junk yard this weekend and see what they got.

32" tire doesnt seem like a stretch. My stock tire is 29" tall, 1.5" around doesnt seem like a big clearance issue to me. Ill look underneath it tomorrow and see if i can do some guestimating.

I also think i forgot to mention. My drivers window doesnt roll down. If i hit the button, it moves down only ~1/4 inch, then i hit it again, and nothing, then again and it moves 1/4 inch, then again and nothing, rinse and repeat till the window makes it down. What could cause this? I dont...

yea, that happened to me and leaked grease all over the wheel. I never take it to dealerships anymore. As much as they cost, they do a ****ty job. It seems like everytime i take the beast to a stealership they dont fix it right, or they break something else. Before it was mine, my mom...

mine looks exactly like that. I wouldnt worry at all.

So i was on this site a while back, and since then, the truck hasnt changed much, still kickin. I want to do a minor overhaul on it. Tune up, flush fluids (coolant, transmission, power steering, etc...) and mabye try one of the 'Magic Motor' products (seafoam or Restore) and replace my...

Hi everyone. I just got my first car, a 1994 ford explorer eddie bauer, V6, 4wd, automatic transmission, power everything (yea, except the motor :() It has some things wrong with it but overall its a good car. Never had any huge problems with it. Im on ebay looking for replacement parts now...
