Hi, I'v got a 96 EB 4.0 and have recently had some strange cooling issues. Not sure what to replace. Started in cold weather, truck would get HOT, for a second or two then I guess the thermostat opened and it dropped to normal. Heat started working, so I assumed thermostat (I have not...

I have had my 96 EB for about 1 1/2 years now. Bought it at 165K miles!! Now has almost 177K. It has obviously been well cared for. I've replaced only plugs/wires/O2 sensors. Installed K&M drop in and removed lower airbox cover. Can't justify a new exhaust yet. Couple of problems - Most...

Hi Folks, Just curious if anyone else had had this problem. When it's hot outside - 90+, my engine will start and idle rough and lack power. Doesn't seem to happen when the engine is hot - just when hot outside. When it's cooler, it runs fine. Any suggestions?? Douglas

Hi Folks, Have had some rough running issues while the engine is hot, so I took my truck to my local mechanic. He used a Snap On CEL reader to test the truck. It cam back with a bad upstream O2 sensor and an incomplete test message. Replaced the sensor, and the same error still comes up...

Hi all, Have a 96 EB V6 with 173K on it. Usually runs great, but it seems that when it's hot out, or when the engine is hot, it runs badly. Rough idle at start - bogs down a bit. Rev it a few times, and it runs ok. WHen cold, it seems to run fine. I've replaced O2 sensor (front), plugs...

HI, Replaced my plugs with bosch 2's and changed wires about 1000 miles ago (maybe a little less). Now when I startup the truck (almost every time) it runs really rough for a few minutes till it warms up a bit. Gas mileage is now down to 10 MPG in town! Was getting 15 or so. Have run...

Hi all, Just installed new plugs (Bosch 2 electrode) and replaced oem plugs. New wires as well. Do I need to reset my computer?

Hi, I have a 96 EB with 165K miles on it (bought it with around 160K in fabulous shape). My question is this: It's a little slow to shift into drive or reverse from park. Otherwise, there are absolutely no problems. After hearing the horror stories on the board regarding trannies, I'm...

Will a sheet of plywood fit in my EB EX with the seats folded down???? I know I'm lazy, and I can't find my tape measure.....

I've asked this before in the general forum, but thought I'd give it a shot here - I can't seem to find anyone that can help. I have a 96 EB 4.0 with a center console computer (mileage, fuel left etc) The computer does all calculations perfectly, but for some reason, the mileage is...

Hi folks, Is there any way to successfully clean your MAF without removing it from the engine. It's really cold here, and my tools are currently not available (divorce thing), wondering if a can of gumout (or equivalent) will do the job by spraying into the intake?? Thanks, Douglas

Hi, I have a 96 EB explorer with the console on the floor showing mileage/fuel consumption etc. When the engine is started and I am sitting still, the system clicks off 10ths of miles... All other functions work properly. Calculations for mileage and fuel consuption are correct, but the...

I posted this in another thread, but thought I'd go ahead and start a thread... My 96 EB V6 just turned over 165000. Just bought it about 3 months ago at 160k. Seems to have been maintained VERY well. Only problems I can Identify so far are: 1) Probably need ball joints. 2) parking...

HI folks, new to the Explorer arena - 96 EB....Got a question about the message center. Mileage is all fouled up. When watching the elapsed mileage counter at a stop sign, the 10ths just click away like I'm going about 40. How does the system receive its speed signal? Does the real ODO...
