Same problem on a '99 Explorer Limited 4.0L. Any ideas on where to start. The garage wants a cool $90 just to do the diagnostics and no guarantee that will find the problem.

A while back I started getting an intermittent popping/banging/thumping sound from around the front center to right of center of my Explorer. Its a '96 Eddie Bower 4.0L 4WD. Funny thing is, it sometimes happens when going down hill with my foot off the gas. It also appears at times when...

I second that. I would never have thought about looking in England. What a truly great idea. Many thanks.

Good Luck Mike, I wish you luck with your efforts. Let me know what you find, and I'll do the same. John

Power Loss Ok, Last question first. I replaced the ignition coil and had my dealer replace the plugs with OEM, the dealer didn't like my Bosch, said Ford has a problem with them. Now, as to whether or not they were properly gapped? I will have to trust the technician did the job properly...

Hi, My name is John Wright and I have owned my Explorer since 2000. I'm a retired AF pilot and have been doing my own maintenance for several years. Started with a 1952 Studebaker. I have even rebuilt Corvairs in the past just for the fun of it. These newer cars are a little more of a...
