on my first front end rebuild, I had both top arms, lower ball joints and drop links from them. 20,000 miles later I had to replace the whole lot (all worn) I put this down to it was the normal life span. I replaced the whole front end again with bits from Rock Auto and they were still...

if you want a laugh, put your eplorer reg in webuyanycar.com after they had charged me the £49 admin fee they would have given me £10 for her :)

the reducer in a sequencial LPG system reduces the pressure of the LPG in it's liquid form and delivers the lower pressure to the injectors. The reducer has a water feed from the engine coolant (usually from the car heater feed as it will get warmer faster) it needs this feed to make the...

I don't think it is plugs personally. Explorers on LPG like standard coper plugs but even fitting exotic plugs will not effect the running to the extent you are seeing and if they were as shot as to make it run on 1 cylinder on gas you would find iy would run just as badly on petrol. I...

you will not get the discs off untill you have slackend the handbreak shoes off. re the star adjusters, impossible to say which way slackens them off as they can be installed either way and of course as they are not handed, they will be opposite to each other on either side of the car. If...

sorry but I'll ask an obvious question - how do you know it is a fauly coil pack? On the Explorer there are a couple of cheap and more comon faults that make it look like a faulty coil pack Jim

that would do it :)

what is the voltage when running and not running?

they are OK then

there will always be side to side play but depends on how much. normal end float is less than 2mm if excessive, play can be found in the LSD clutch packs and shims and the C washers. not difficult to put right and not too expensive, also makes sense to do the outer bearings at the same...

Hi Jon I received the pictures, the one below has all the elements in. Item 2 is the control box (system processor) I would check the plugs for corrosion and do the wiggle test with the engine running on gas. Item 3 is the square wave emulator that fools the PCM into thinking it has a...

system diagram (but not including all the peripheral boxes) (dead links)

If you don't have them you can download installation instructions for the Leonardo here (dead links)

the control box is the leonardo box under the bonnet. it is highly likley there are 3 or 4 boxes under the bonnet the Leonardo control unit the switch over relay (you will be able the hear the click on switchover an Injector emulator (failure of this will cause a DTC to be generated as...

It's obviously a loose electrical connection to either the control box or more likley the switch over relay. AS I expect you know, on single point systems, you switch over to gas at 2000 rpm. the control box reads the RPM (from the red lead connected to the ignition coil) and detects when...

the door lock and unlock relays are located in the rear nearside cubby hole, in front of the rear washer bottle. All the relays are the same so you can change them about and are standard types. The lock and unlock switches operate by switching earth to the relays. if both lock and...

Hi All I have had a clear our in the garage and have collected a box of explorer bits which are going free. included are the following IAC Valve TPS sensor rear anti-roll bar repair kit (new) set of brake caliper seals, bolts and nipples (new) Good set of used upper manifold seals...

I had the same juddering on one side only, tried everything including bleeding etc. if you take the bollows off you can see the rack shuddering. In the end I had to replace the rack. Once off the car and free of mechanical constraints you could feel the binding that caused the juddering when...

Explorer Sold My faithful Explorer was sold this weekend to (hopefully) a good home. So I'll look in on the forum from time to time but my new home being the Jeep club forum. My new truck is a 2007 Jeep Commander with a 5.7Litre V8. I had a Prins LPG system fitted last week which works...

yes I did, no problems with them

looking at your DTC's I would also check the fuel pressure at the rail, for both banks to be lean like that would mean quite a few of the o rings are shot when a faulty pressure regulator or pump or blocked filter would also cause these symtoms. cheers Jim

This is how ebay should operate :D none of this secret automatic bidding nonsense i offer 48.00 and a pumpkin............have i got the knack of this open bidding?

yes the U480 is a fine basic tool for reading and resetting DTC's. On pre98 explorers this is as much as we can expect

Hi re the scan tool I had the ELM327 USB version, and it did not work, I changed to the serial connected version and worked fine, problem is modern laptops no longer come with serial ports if you just want to read and reset DTC then ebay £14 cheap one will work fine cheers Jim
