    Rocker Arm Push Rod Kit -Northern Auto

    I'm wondering the same thing. I chatted with the guy from that company. He said he had a rating with these. I need to replace mine too. I don't want to go back to replace them again. Mine are still the original ones from 91. Everything else has been replaced. I know the have alot of wear. I new...

    IAC Questions

    That's good.im trying to think how I got past that. I've had that had before. So basically it runs rough at operation temp. With bad mpg. Right? Have you done any checking of the FPR? See if the vacuum line has gas in it. That can suck gas strait into the engine.

    93XL Explorer V8 swap

    Alabama Cylinder Head is where I bought my complete heads for my 91 explorer. If you're good with tools. You can rip it down in a few hours and rebuild back in a good day. I did it in 6 hours going back, due to retorquing to specs.

    IAC Questions

    Mine had a crazy miss show up thinking it was all of that stuff. Finding out I had one spark plug die. Wasn't even that old. I spent over $100 trying to figure it out. Had no power and sucked gas. I replaced that plug, power came back. Might be worth looking in to. The simplest things can be...

    Why does my ignition relay keep blowing?

    Truck info. 91 Stock with the older wiring schematic that has the BAP. The Haynes book shows 91 but not the 91 I have. Must of been from the first half. This morning I had my 91 explorer idling to hookup a trailer. As I was walking to the back of the truck, it shuts off. So I went back to...

    HELP: Why am I having a hard time passing emissions

    Thanks! It's in the throttle body. The butterfly controls the airflow. Just take the intake hose off and you'll see a brass disc. Thus called a butterfly. Every engine has one or more.

    HELP: Why am I having a hard time passing emissions

    FINALLY GOT IT TO PASS!!!! Parently there was too much carbon on the back of the butterfly plus the PCV valve was stuck, causing extra air. Passed with 56 HC > Limit 220 HC Thanks for everybody's input!!!

    HELP: Why am I having a hard time passing emissions

    I did that on the first test. Still failed. I've been told about the alcohol thing. Using a gal of it to two gallons of gas. I have a guy I'm going to take it to in the morning that says he can get it to pass.

    HELP: Why am I having a hard time passing emissions

    I haven't changed the air temp yet. I've checked it before and it seemed working. Haven't tried it at the computer. With two cans of seafoam, white smoking though a vacuum line. I still fail with high hc. Up to 400 hc this time. I can only fail one more time. Or move to another area or sale...

    HELP: Why am I having a hard time passing emissions

    Well after replacing everything. Sensors and computer I still can't pass!!! HC too high still. 375 HC. I have ran out of things to look for!!

    HELP: Why am I having a hard time passing emissions

    Ok I'm still on the quest of why this thing will not pass. I have now until OCT to do it again. Problem now with a new computer the truck will idle 2200 rpms. If I unplug the IAC it will idle back to 500 rpms. Now I've replaced the IAC 3 times. When it's unplugg running the engine speed is...

    Old tire size

    That don't know. Since the tires are still mounted. The only numbers on the tires is 11-15. They are not the original sizing for it. I know the bolt pattern is the same as a full size Chevy

    HELP: Why am I having a hard time passing emissions

    UPDATE Replaced the computer. Runs a lot better. Got the crazy mis gone. But the bad thing is it still failed Emissions again :/ HC this time was up to 320. What else can I do???? Nothing is working

    Old tire size

    I have an old set of tires on a IH Scout. Not shock sizing. The only numbers I can find on the tires are 11-15 So I guess that means a 15" rim and 11" wide!? Where would I found tires that wide within the tire numbering used today. Any clues? I know this is an IH on an explorer forum, but...

    HELP: Why am I having a hard time passing emissions

    UPDATE: I replaced the crank sensor. Still has the mis. I unhooked the battery all day. Hooked it back up last night. Started and let it run for a few mins. No driving. But within those few mins the mis was back. Without a driving cycle to learn. I'm going to a junk yard today to find a computer...

    HELP: Why am I having a hard time passing emissions

    I think so. Smoother idle. The only thing is I went out to drive it down the road and it would miss under the load, first time it's ever done that. Engine stopped as i was driving and than it ran better. Now it sounds better. I guess the computer had to relearn. I still have problem with it...

    HELP: Why am I having a hard time passing emissions

    What I think I've narrowed it down to is the facted that I'm using the Duralast wireset. What I've read is that cause problems with a miss and stuff. I know other night in the dark a could see green arcs coming from the wires. Wires look good and a few years old. They are what I've ran ever...

    Engine miss

    So old corroded ground wires could cause a slight miss even if starting(the straining of the wire) has no trouble? I also have been trying to figure out my slight miss. Might be that. I have the 91

    Interesting red plug - FOUND

    The only problem is the other day I unplugged the AC to move the wire to get to the ECT. I forgot to plug it in. Thus it found the belt. So three wires were in it and I had to figure which ones worked. Hooked the wires up and finally got the compresser to work. Held air for over a few years. All...

    Interesting red plug - FOUND

    I have all the AC there. I did find the other plug end. It was under the filter box. But the clip was broken. I know when ever that was working is stopped for some reason. The shop checked the pressure and it was all good. I checked my wiring in the Haynes book for the 91 under body wiring...

    HELP: Why am I having a hard time passing emissions

    What about timing?? I know before I had this truck the bottom end was rebuilt and bored. I've been told the timing has been off maybe to cause a slight miss and hard start. What about the adjustment to be wrong on the CMP sensor? But runs strong and never a power problem just idle and high HC.

    Interesting red plug - FOUND

    Other day on my 91 explorer I found a Round red male plug, not connected to anything, under the back of the alternator. Not the main plug connecter but next too it. Or part of the alternator. just coming out of the conduit. I'll load a pic in the day time.

    HELP: Why am I having a hard time passing emissions

    I do know that all wiring is away for the exhaust and has never touched it. I've been reading different pages about it. But still nothing has helped much :/ Just a weird problem somewhere in the system

    HELP: Why am I having a hard time passing emissions

    I hooked up a volt meter to the MAF and watched the voltage changed as a rev the engine. Numbers matched the right rpms to voltage output. Same for the TPS. And the Air temp sensor and ECT (replaced)

    HELP: Why am I having a hard time passing emissions

    I understand the no OD is not causing HC. Just two problems. OD wil not work until the engine is right. So I'm thinking whatever that is making the engine run high HC is making it not run right. I've gotten sensors from pull a parts to put in mine and still the same problem. I've always have had...

    HELP: Why am I having a hard time passing emissions

    UPDATE: Finally did the test after doing everything listed up above. Even using the Guaranteed to pass and still failed. My HC was at 273 before now at 234. The limit here is 220. I'm running out of things to check. It's always had a hard time to start hot and misses when it does. But rev it...

    Are my "rpms" too high?

    After checking every thing on the computer side I'm coming to the fact that the TC is bad, maybe. I've heard if it was installed wrong it might no every lockup. The transmission had always made a noise when you let off the gas petal. Even in netural. This is while traveling. Bad and replace...
