Fix Finally got the sound to disappear...right before the clicking sound, I tried to do a compression test and also changed the spark plugs & its wires. The clicking sound was caused by insufficient oil going through the engine after turning the car without spark plugs while doing the...

it sounds like its coming from the valve cover. I'll check my EGR tube as well since it broke before and I just taped it together. I'll let you know. Also, before I replaced my spark plugs, I tried to do a compression check - I was unsuccesful, as I think the loaner tool that I got from...

Hey guys. I just changed my spark plugs and now I’m hearing this ticking/clicking sound (see link below to listen in). Anyway, I’ve disconnected the spark plug wires for each spark plug one at a time and started the car as well to see if it’s the wires, but the sound is still there – so I"m...

clicking sound on engine after changing spark plugs Hey guys. I just changed my spark plugs and now I’m hearing this ticking/clicking sound (see link below to listen in). Anyway, I’ve disconnected the spark plug wires for each spark plug one at a time and started the car as well to see if it’s...

Did you ever resolve the clicking sound? I just replaced my spark plugs and now I hear a clicking sound on my engine as well. I checked all the wiring connections and they all seem to be good. Thoughts?

how do I perform a leakdown test to see if it's broken rings? Also, when you guys refer to rings, what specifically are you guys talking about?

z71bam, did you ever resolve this issue? let me know. I think i might have the same issue. thanks.

did you ever resolve this issue? Let me know. I have the same issue...small oil on spark plug thread. My explorer runs fine but i have to change cylinder 4's spark plug every 2 to 3K miles as it keeps on fouling up.

Dono, Based on some of the posts i've read here, i've got 3 options to fix my cylinder 4 issue that constantly messes up my spark plug- 1) replace my lower intake manifold gaskets, 2) replace my cylinder heads, and 3) do both options. since option 1 is the cheapest, i'm thinking of trying...

Dono, if its indeed a cracked head, what parts do I need to buy in addition to an aftermarket cylinder head? (i.e. do i need to replace intake manifold gaskets? torque bolts? etc.). I'm just trying to estimate the total job cost of your recommendation so i can properly budget it. Thank you.

Cracked head or bad gasket? just checked the coolant. And indeed, i've been losing some slowly. However, i've read through a couple of posts here that it could be the lower intake manifold gasket that needs to be replaced. I'm assuming the only way to find out if its a cracked head is to...

Cracked head or bad gasket? how did you do a compression check to find that your head is cracked? i've been getting code P0304 (cylinder #4 misfire) and I've also been replacing my #4 spark plug to make the code go away. However, it was suggested to me that I might have a cracked head...just...

Cracked head or bad gasket? How do I know if its a bad gasket (so I can just replace the gasket) or a cracked head (which will cost me more since I have to buy a new head)? Also, how do I perform a compression test and what should I look for? does Autozone/O'Reilly do it for free...

I've replaced my #4 spark plug 2x in less than a year due to a P0304 code. It clears out the code. But I'm curious as to what is causing the code. Closer inspection of the spark plug reveals brown residue on the threads (see pics). I actually have to clean it off with a steel brush just to get...

Spark Plug#4 thread dirty I've replaced my #4 spark plug 2x in less than a year due to a P0304 code. It clears out the code. But I'm curious as to what is causing the code. Closer inspection of the spark plug reveals brown residue on the threads (see pics). I actually have to clean it off...

Hello all. I've also replaced my #4 spark plug 2x in less than a year due to a P0304 code. It clears out the code. But I'm curious as to what is causing the code. Closer inspection of the spark plug reveals brown residue on the threads (see pics). I actually have to clean it off with a steel...

I've been scammed. Help? I just got a call from Target Security after I reported the incident to them yesterday and after they reviewed their video, they confirmed that there were men around my car and that one of them went under my car. The security guy also told me that none of them went...

Shift Lever Loose Scammed or Lucky? Quick question, how easy is it to get your shifter cable/lever loose? Reason being is that last night when I started my 96 Explorer, the transmission shift was so loose except for "P" and "1" and "2". I kept messing around with it with no success. Then less...

Fixt, I tested the Front Passenger power window wires yesterday for continuity, and found one that did not respond (R/LB). The P/LG wire you had suggested seemed to have continuity. I tried finding where the R/LB splice was (S314) to check on its connections, but they all looked good...

reapereviltwin, I had the same issue with mine...1) power window does not work for front passenger side but works fine when using the driver side main controls. Also, 2) rear driver side power window works only from the rear door switch but not from the main driver side controls. Any tips on...
