Well,the wife went and fell in love with a 2013 xlt with the non turbo 3.5. I drove it and it seems to run and drive fine. Has 98,000 miles and is 4wd. What are some problems to look out for? Common problems with this year explorer? Only explorer we have owned was a 2004,nothing to compare with...

2004 4.6 140,000 miles. Here are the codes PO 300,302,303,316. Engine runs great and no check engine light until under heavy throttle. Then check engine light comes on and engine misses. Just had a new cat put on passenger's side for this problem. Thought it was fixed,but it's back again. Really...

Not even sure what to check for.2004 4.6 140,000 miles. No check engine light and no codes stored. Engine starts up great,idles good,maybe a little rough but not bad. When you step on the gas,even floor it,the rpm's jump to 1200 for a second then back to idle speed even though my foot still has...

Need the vehicle running before Monday if possible. It's a 2004 4wd 4.6 v8 with 140,000 miles. My wife was driving around town today and had to park it at her daughter's house because even if you floor it,the engine will only rev to about 1500-1800 rpm's and idles really low,maybe 600 rpm. she...

2004 4.6 138,000 miles. When the a/c is on, I can press the accelerator at least a half inch before the engine starts to accelerate,and then when it does go,it takes off like a bat out of hell. Not real fun to drive in traffic. Turn the a/c off,and it drives like normal. Any ideas? Thanks!!

2004 explorer. showing codes po 303 and po316. no misfiring and is running good. Should I replace the coil on that cylinder or wait and see if the code repeats? I erased them but could only drive it for a couple minutes. codes haven't came back yet.

2004 4.6 134,000 miles. Thursday night My fiancee calls after work and the explorer won't start. I take the jump pack,jump it easily. Get it home and clean the battery cables. Turns over plenty fast and starts right up even first start of the morning. Now the problem she has and I can't get it...

I was going to the store last night to grab food for my fiance to cook for supper. Her daughter was visiting us. Two sets of keys with the exact key ring and pretty close to the same kind of keys on the table. I grab a set of keys,run to the 2004 explorer,turn the key on. Dash lights and head...

Looking for tire suggestions for our 2004 4wd. Must be good in the snow and wet conditions. Never had an suv before,just familiar with mostly mud tires for the 4x4 trucks I have owned and the snow tires I mount on my daily driver focus. Not going to that extent for the explorer. Need a good year...

2004 with power locks. Is there any way to program the locks so the back doors unlock when the vehicle is put in park? really annoying to have to unlock the back doors manually when there are passengers in the back seats.

Just making sure something isn't wrong with our 2004 and making sure I have the 4wd selector in the right position. I think it is in 4wd auto. On slippery (wet pavement,grass) surfaces and sometimes under hard acceleration on dry surfaces around corners or tight turns into parking spots,you can...

This is for our 2004. When the doors are opened,the only lights that come on are the dome light in the middle of the vehicle and the cargo light in the very back. The light in the front compartment where the driver is does not come on when the door is open. Is this normal? It has been this way...

2004 explorer. slowly the key fob has been working less and less to do any functions(panic,unlock,lock,trunk). I thought ok,replaced the battery. Still the same thing. How expensive is it to get a new one and what has to be done to program it?

2004 4.6 125,000 miles. Every now and then the engine just stalls for no apparent reason. My girlfriend said it did it 4 times on the way home tonight. Always starts right back up. Idles smooth,drives great. I will pull codes tomorrow but the check engine light isn't on. Any body have this...

2004 explorer xlt 4.6 v8 125,000 miles. Has an oil leak,seems to be coming from the driver's side front of the engine. I thought it might be valve cover,but the side of the engine is dry. Can't really see anything leaking around the oil filter,but it does seem to be coming from that area or...

my 2004 4.6 seems to have this problem. Not really a good feel for when it is going to accelerate. passengers are getting whiplash!! lol Did the TSB fix the problem and how much did it cost to get done? TSB 04-26-20 THROTTLE PEDAL RESPONSE ON TIP-IN Publication Date: December 23, 2004...

just bought a 2004 v8 xlt with a class 2 frame mounted hitch. I need to mount a 80 pound mobility scooter carrier and the scooter weighs about 250 pounds. Do I go by the tongue weight to determine if the class 2 hitch will be heavy enough since the towing weight really doesn't come into play? I...

2004 explorer 4.6 117,000 miles. Have owned the vehicle for a week,put about a 1,000 miles on it,no problems. Was coasting down a hill this evening with cruise control on about 30 mph,engine died. Seemed to die after I touched the brakes to shut the cruise off. Does not do it at higher speeds...
