    failed smog, running rich, code 14, electronic control assembly, or o2 sensor?

    So I have a 91 Explorer that just failed smog because it was running rich. about 7 years ago I had the same problem, I changed out several sensors on the truck, and the 1 that finally passed it was the O2 sensor. This time around I ran my scanner on it, KEY ON ENGINE OFF I got a code 14 the...

    turn signal stuck on.

    I have a problem with the right flasher. it works fine with the headlights off but when I turn the headlights on the flasher sticks on with the head lights. the bulbs are all good, changed them just to be sure and they all work individually. I think I have narrowed it down to a short in a ground...

    no right flasher at night. fine in the day.

    thx for all the suggestions. I actually noticed the right headlight was not fully lit up. the main bulb is working fine, pulled it out and checked it, the top portion where the signal is behind the orange glass isn't lit up. im hoping its just a bad bulb. but shouldn't I have the problem with...

    no right flasher at night. fine in the day.

    I have tried pulling codes and all codes passed, I pulled fuses and nothing helped. during the day both flashers work fine nothing wrong. but the problem is when I turn the head lights on, the right flasher on the inside of the car is permanently on(solid not flashing). the left flasher works as...

    back fire and hole in muffler,

    it runs great except for the popping, no more stalling, no more jerking at acceleration, its smooth, not running rich now, i got code 11 for koeo and 11 for koer, did the compression test, all in range, i didnt lose pressure on any cylinders.

    running rich, code 42, does not switch

    so i replaced the fuel pressure regulator today, it defiitely helped some other problems, the engine doesnt chug when i let off the gas and it doesnt wanna die, its smooth when i stop and theres no hesitation or jerking when i hit the gas, and when i scanned it i got an 11 koeo and 11 in koer so...

    back fire and hole in muffler,

    my truck idles fine in park but backfires when i shift into drive, theres a large hole in the muffler, if i replace the muffler will the backfire stop? does a large hole in the muffler create a popping or backfire sound?

    running rich, code 42, does not switch

    i have read a few articles about the fuel pressure regulator contributing to running rich. could this maybe be my last part to change out before im good to go? before i changed all my senors i experienced jerking during acceleration, and stalling while at a light or stop sign. i no longer have...

    running rich, code 42, does not switch

    code 42-exhaust gas oxygen(ego) sensor: voltage signal always "rich"(high value)-does not switch. so i have nearly fixed my 91 explorer, all thats left is a code 42. i replaced nearly all my sensors(including a brand new 02 sensor), did a compression test on the engine, and my obd1 scanner...

    engine compression test for backfire

    large split in the muffler and backfiring.

    brand new map sensor, reset the continuous codes. i stopped getting a 22 with the koeo, but still getting a 22 koer. ya i compared my sparkplugs to the old ones, same exact ones, i gapped them all at .54. one of my customers at work suggested a compression test so ill check that out next. could...

    large split in the muffler and backfiring.

    11 koeo, 22 koer, ran a smoke test, no leaks. i didn't touch the timing but i think it may be off. i know the first and loudest backfire blew the muffler. what I'm trying to figure out is all these smaller backfires. when i changed the spark plugs i mixed up cylinders 5 and 6 when i...
