:thumbsup: A million thanks for this posting. Was having the same problem and had exhausted all possibilities. Took it to a mechanic and was told that he too was having the same problem with his 1999 Explorer...never did get him to take a look at it. I just finished contorting my rather...

I camp in mine...a 2000 XLT. Call it my "mobile command post" Put the pax side rear seat down and have a low profile camping cot to sleep on. ECWS sleeping system can be adapted to whatever the conditions are from hot to extreme cold. All windows down in summertime and up in the winter...

Special thanks to SWETRID as I sip a celebratory cup of coffee and wish I had a cigar to go with it. Took the brand new out of the box defective E3 spark plug back and had it replaced. Installed the new one, plug wires on.....all systems go and off we went for the road test. Accelarated right...

Dis is a 9--1---1 Pulling my hair out now....Seafoamed through the brake boost vaccum line on a suggestion it might be carbon build up in #3 cylinder and got lots of smoke, then ran it until clean. Still missing and jerking. Pulled plug and went over it with a jewelers lupe and could not...

Back from test run....still running crappy, though not as bad. How is it that I try to do what's best for my baby and she kicks me in the teeth?

Alrighty then....just swapped out ignition coil assembly and going for a test drive.....I wish all maintenance on vehicles were this easy.

Hi Folks Newbie here with the mechanical ability of a Neanderthal. Just bought a 2000 Ford Explorer 4.0 with 105,800 miles on it. The thing ran a little rough but was getting 20+ on the highway with a miss from time to time that threw the "check engine" light on. Fell for the hype on...
