I think I may have found the problem.After reading V8BoatBuilder's write-up about the accumulator rusting out I went to check mine and sure enough it's shot. So we'll see what happens. Cleve

Well I jumped the high and the low side switches and the compressor didn't kick on. Now correct if I'm wrong but, isn't the low side port on the passenger side coming off the top of the accumulator and the high side port on the driver side just behind the headlight? I pulled both plugs and then...

So I can replace the switch without letting the freon out of the system? The switch will just screw off just like a schrader valve?

Thanks guys. I ran another pressure check on the low side today and I was getting readings of over 100 psi. I can also turn the compressor clutch by hand{ with engine off of course}. Are you suppose to be able to do that? Should I still add more R134 to the system? Thanks, Cleve

Don't see anything either.Opps, now I do.

Where did you guys get the FMS headers and how much were they? And are they still available? Cleve

Thanks guys for the quick responses. I just recently developed a miss and I was checking the wires and plugs tonight and noticed that the no. 3 plug had a little arcing going on right around the plug. By the way, 5.0DAD what size tires are you running on your X. Cleve

New member here and new to the Explorer community.I have a '97 AWD with the 5.0. My question is what are people running for spark plugs? I've heard that the 5.0 motor may actually have to run two different types of plugs according to the cylinder they are going in. Recommendations would be...
