    Changing Spark Plug wires on 1994 Explorer

    Yes. My check engine light has been coming on from time to time for months now. Is it related then?

    Changing Spark Plug wires on 1994 Explorer

    I have a 1994 Ford explorer in France which has recently picked up a small misfire. I have had the plugs changed and it made no difference at all so I guess it is the spark plug leads next and then a new coil. The thing is the local garage apparently has no way of sourcing these parts so I am...

    Chassis VIN number help is needed.

    Quick Update... I never did find the number. Instead I had a new one put on. The garage I used had to send off for a kit for inscribing/punching it onto the chassis but once they had it it was quick to do and was readily accepted by the testing garage. The VIN on the driver's door and the one...

    Chassis VIN number help is needed.

    An update if anyone is interrested. Despite a wire brush, sand paper and a wing mirror we did not see it. There is a small section of the chassis (right side, mid passenger door) that is further away from the body than the rest (2-3 inches) and we concentrated on that. Elsewhere the gap is...

    silents blocs? must be some kind of bush?

    Thank you so much. I've ordered them and am feeling really positive about getting it through its test. I still have 3 issues other to overcome (the colour of the rear indicators, the location of the chassis vin plate and the way the rear seatbelts work) but I think I have solutions to all of these.

    silents blocs? must be some kind of bush?

    Hi, I am currently trying to get my 1994 Explorer road legal in France and am having to surmount a number of hurdles. The latest one is the state of my "silents blocs". These little rubber doughnuts in the steering/suspension system apparently need replacing and the garage has no idea where to...

    Chassis VIN number help is needed.

    Still struggling The guy at the CT station was not satisfied with the windshield vin plate and it failed its test again. He demands to see one on the chassis. I have looked for the one on top of the frame on the right side but the bodywork is in the way. I am starting to consider drastic...

    Chassis VIN number help is needed.

    Thanks, my windshield vin is visible (and matches all paperwork!), hopefully the guy at the "Control Technique" garage is happy with this and doesn't keep insisting on a chassis vin. From other google hits it seems that the chassis vin may be a "hidden vin" on top of the frame only accessible by...

    Chassis VIN number help is needed.

    Hi, I am having no luck finding the VIN on my '94 Explorer's chassis. I have had it up on ramps scratching at the surface of the chassis and the only number I have found only has 8 digits. I believe I am looking for the full 17. This is a major problem as it is a legal necessity to have this...
