    drivers door wont open

    i have taken that panel off probably ten times before so my grommits are worn down a bit which makes it easier. i put the seat all the way forward and just popped the panel off the grommits holding it in place with a screwdriver. then i did the same for the bottom ones putting my hand through...

    Front Diff/ CV Axle leaking!

    thanks for the help guys. I went to advance today to get a new axle seal and the guy there told me to put 80-90 gear oil in it when i fill it back up. I just wanted to make sure thats the right gear oil because advance has given me some bad information in the past

    drivers door wont open

    My drivers door is shut and I cant get it open from either the inside or outside. The outside latch is really loose and floats freely so i suspect there is something broken there. The inside handle seems tight but when I pull on it the door wont open. The lock functions how it is supposed to...

    rear brake issues with 99 EB

    Stupid Exhaust Leak on 5.0

    01explorerv801 are you having the same problems that i described? i discovered my problem was a vacuum leak going to the evr. It was the white hose that goes in to one of the two inlets into the evr... im not sure where the other end of it goes though

    egr system problem or something else?

    so your saying that the pcm is causing the surging because the egr valve may have a carbon build up so once it is cleaned the pcm will be fine and hopefully the surging will stop?

    egr system problem or something else?

    I have a 99 v8 ex and it was throwing code P0401 which is an egr code and I changed out the dpfe sensor but when i was changing it i accidentally cut the white hose going into the EVR in half and didnt have any hose to fix it so i just electrical taped it back together for now. It was surging a...

    Stupid Exhaust Leak on 5.0

    i see that people are mentioning the egr tube being cracked. my 99 5.0 sounds like it has a small leak and also had the code P0401 an egr code. On top of that it kind of bucks/jumps/hesitates/surges(you get the idea) when trying to accelerate at all in the two highest gears. Im wondering if...

    Jumping and lurching during acceleration.

    oh and it does sound like it has a small exhaust leak somewhere. I havent have time to check into it to find out where but just listening to it sounds like there is one somewhere

    Jumping and lurching during acceleration.

    Just another thought... do you think it could be a bad cat converter? like i said i did the full tune up but when I start it, it turns over for a while then when it does start, it doesnt jump right up to idling rpm like my 2000 sport. It starts up relatively slowly and then gets up to idling...

    Jumping and lurching during acceleration.

    does the orifice tube your talking about go from the EGR to the intake manifold. I took a quick look at it again today before I went to work and i saw the thick tube that goes from the exhaust manifold into the bottom of the EGR.... Is that the tube that gets clogged up/is that the one you were...

    Jumping and lurching during acceleration.

    I just did plugs and changed all fluids 50 miles ago so they are brand new. I was going to change the wires as well but the factory wires were $106 at auto zone so i skipped on those. it was throwing the egr code p0401 when i did the tune up 50 miles ago but it hasnt come back on. Thats why I...

    Jumping and lurching during acceleration.

    I have a 1999 eddie bauer v8. It accelerates fine through all gears but when its in the last two gears it kind of hesitates and lurches and accelerates unevenly. I replaced the DPFE sensor and that didnt seem to fix it so im wondering where to go next. Thanks.

    DPFE sensor location on a V8?

    I have a '99 eddie bauer v8 and mine is right next to the EGR between the intake manifold and the firewall like rizzjc said. It took me a while to find on my own but it should be right next to your EGR.
