Make sure the battery posts are clean and tightened. Mine had the same problem. The cables were loose and the alternator wouldn't charge the battery, nor would the engine turn. My first clue was the volts gauge in the upper left hand corner of the insturment panel dancing around like a stripper...

No way man. The corrosion is the same basic thing as rust. Oxygen molecules bond with the Aluminum. It normally happens slowly, but when heat is added, aka FIRE, it acts as a catylist to speed up the chemical reaction. You can't just wash it off.

Motorcraft double platinum plugs. Never had a problem since I changed from Bosch to those!

Had the EXACT SAME problem!!!!! I would love to know what it is!

CO2 would work too, but Halon is more effective.

It does matter because if the fire is controllable and extinguised with dry chemical, then all the parts that were aluminum that were not damaged by fire, will be damaged by the subsiquent corrosion caused by the dry chemical. Which in turn means that the wallet will get smaller. BAD JUJU:)

Yes, the range on Halon isn't very good, but how involved are you going to let this fire get? 8 feet is a long way to stand away from a fire and adequately knock it down. Halon also does become toxic, but the length of time of exposure is inadequate to have any adverse effects on your body...

Well, here's the skinny on fire extinguishers. Probably in your wife's business, the extinguishers are all "ABC" dry chemical extinguishers. These work great on ash producing, flammable liquid, and some electrcal fires. The only drawback is that they are terribly corrosive if used on aluminum...

I have a 1994 4.0 Liter OHV. I just need to know the model number granitelli MAF to get. There are so many different model numbers

I Just did this on my 94:) Try reaching in through the wheel well on the passenger side with a universal joint and an extension. Got it out in like 2 minutes! Re-installation was just as easy!

I just replaced all 4 factory speakers in my 1994. I don't know if yours is the same size, but i recall that mine were 6"x8". I found them at Wal-Mart, made by pioneer, for maybe $56.00 a pair.

1994 XLT Four door. 4.0 OHV, 3rd A4LD Piece of S*&$ tranny (thank god for the Ford warranty). 4X4 (auto hubs work) 134,000 miles. Just changed plugs and wires. Just ran Sea Foam through it. Used to get 11 MPG, not gets 17! I was THRILLED! If you are looking for a 1st generation Explorer i.e...

I only use Dawn dish soap twice a year because it removes the wax. Then I put fresh wax on it before the start of the winter and summer months.

Just went to the dealer and picked up a new multifunction switch. Installed it and everything works PERFECT!!!!!! I narrowed the problem down to the multifunction switch by depressing the brake pedal and then ever so slightly pulling back on the turn signal switch just like you would flash the...

Thanks so much! It's really easy. I will give it a try soon!

So, now I get it..but where is the multifunction switch. How can I get to it and replace it?

Same Problem..... All work but the left light Ok, this isn't a big problem, but it is really annoying! All the brake lights work but the left (driver's side) one. Sometimes it will work when it wants to, but most of the time it doesn't. Here is the funny part. The low beams work, but when I...

Dummy Gauge Well, I hust had the same problem too! I want to take that wire off and do the wiggle trick as well. I just need to know where the right wire is. I have been also having problems with the temperature gauge. I was going DOWNHILL to Phoenix last week and the temperature gauge went...

I would take the battery back To Wal-Mart and go to a service station somewhere and pick up an Interstate Battery. The one for my 94 XLT was about 100 bucks three years ago. It goes through Phoenix, Arizona summers and Northern Arizona's below freezing winters without ever a problem! Even...

Auto Hub Club I'm still all about the auto hubs. I went to a 4X4 shop in town and asked the guy there about the Warn manual hubs. He said they were good and that the auto hubs suck. I said that I didn't have the money at the time to put new hubs on. The guy there had just put the Warn manual...

Well, in my 1994 Ex, it takes Type F fluid, which is a darkish red color. I got the info directly from Ford Technicians. I had to get a second opinion since the guy from Auto Zone told me it didn't take Type F. Hope this helps!

Ok, thats a big help and i was doubting the broken u-joint anyway. The new problem is that I can lock the passenger side hub by hand by turning the u-joint manually so I know the passenger side works. The drivers side still does not work though. I need to pull it apart and get all of the grease...

Well, now that winter is here again, my 4X4 is out again. Murphy's law is also at work again:( The 4 wheel drive doesn't work. When I push the switch on the dash, the trnsfer case engages fine. I put the Ex on jackstands to make sure power is going to the front axle. Here is the first problem...

Sorry, it is an OHV engine. About the intake, even though it is plastic, soes it still work as good as the ones that are made of polished steel tubing? Thanks!

I am new to this site. I have a bone stock 1994 Explorer 4.0 SOHC. I was wondering if ANYONE makes a good cold air intake for this particular model. Also, what about performance mass airflow sensors and throttle body spacers. Thank you! Aaron
