    Door harness interchangeability

    It's been messed with in the past. I can unsnap the switch panel, lift up on it, then the switch works. The switch has been replaced already too.

    Door harness interchangeability

    Having some issues with the door wiring harness on the pass front door of my 03 Trac. I understand that the harness for RKE and non RKE are different, but what other years would interchange? Wondering if a 01-03 sport or 99-01 2nd explorer would be plug and play

    Turn Signal Switch Swap.

    Did this a couple years ago. I think some newer rangers actually came this way.

    Deerfield Precision Braided SS Brake Lines

    I haven't since, but I had a pair of front hoses from Paragon performance, one blew out with no warning. I would either stick with these or stock style rubber hoses.

    OEM Plus Interior Ideas

    I wouldn't use the factory 04-11 air bag wheels, they look cool but they've killed people unfortunately. I have a nice 06 steering wheel in my stash but won't use it for this reason...

    How do I remove back passenger side injector?

    Another thing is match the year and injector flow. Different years have different flow rates as do flex fuel models and manual/auto transmissions. They are color coded, ex: mine are red.

    How do I remove back passenger side injector?

    If you replace them, go back with new oem ones or cleaned OEM ones not aftermarket. I have a set of cleaned ones I can send you I bought from eBay and never used. I put new pintles and baskets in mine.

    How do I remove back passenger side injector?

    When I pulled and rebuilt mine I pulled the intake manifold off. The fuel rail comes up. There's little plastic inserts they sit in, inside the heads, they often crack and need replacement

    Interior / Exterior parts compatibility

    Mirrors are slightly different because the trim around the windows is. They do interchange though.

    Inconsistent idle missfire-2003 trac

    Did the base idle adjustment. Definitely was out of whack. Idle speed with IAC unplugged was over 600, adjusted it to 500, reset it, drove it, no rough idle, seemed to adjust to loads like ps steering pump/ ac compressor much much better. Before It was set where it'd bog the engine so much the...

    Inconsistent idle missfire-2003 trac

    If the thing would do it more often I could do that, but I'm starting to wonder if the base idle procedure and the reset would resolve it. Ran fine this morning to work with no missfires registered or felt. Throttle body has been changed and it has a sct tune.

    Inconsistent idle missfire-2003 trac

    Is this the same procedure streetrod2000 has on here? Wasn't sure what years it pertained to.

    Inconsistent idle missfire-2003 trac

    I replaced the TPS with a new ford one last year. I think the pcm sets the idle speed with the IAC. I couldn't get it to replicate the issue today, drove 30 miles.

    Inconsistent idle missfire-2003 trac

    I haven't ran techron, there's a high strength berrymans treatment I have used. And it was changed within the last 10k miles, earlier this year.

    Inconsistent idle missfire-2003 trac

    Later last year I suspected that, replaced the intake gaskets( they were done as part of the timing/ head work in 2019). I replaced the injectors seats, the injector screens, the tips and the orings. Bench tested them with a tester, all seemed consistent. I really don't know what to check next...

    Having an inconsistent miss fire only at idle. 2003 4.0 with 283k Heads, chains and guides were redone within the last 80k miles Taylor plug wires, new motorcraft plugs 10k ago. New ford IAC Only thing I've found is a mode 06 value that's exceeding the limit. No errors or codes showing up...

    IAC causing high idle

    2003 4.0 280k. Noticed it would intermittently idle high around 1000-1300 regardless of in park or gear. Unplugged iac and the idle dropped, plugged back in and it's idling at the correct speed. Does it randomly. Same result shutting the engine off and restarting it. Replaced newer IAC with new...

    Brake options

    I run stock style raybestos rotors and powerstop ceramic pads. Stainless hoses and flushed the system. Plenty of braking power.

    2000 4.0 SOHC just quit while driving on the highway

    Had a similar issue, fuel pump relay was just worn out. Idk on these but on our 94, theres a EEC relay that feeds the fuel pump relay and that was the culprit.
