    How Do I Remove The Camshaft Sprocket?

    Solution to Remove Camshaft (Top) Sprocket: Use an impact wrench (I used corded electric). 1/2" to 3/4" adapter to T55 Torx bit. Rotate counterclockwise (to the left) and the bolt will unscrew. I will be making a very detailed, yet simple to explain thread or post here...

Soo I bought a new one (came with an assortment) and plugged it in, now it runs great again! Trip to a mechanic averted. It's amazing how...

    Please help identify missing hose/troubleshoot

    OK, it blows air... I've been hand cleaning the engine bay whilst searching for the missing hose with no luck so far. As for the hissing, it comes from something else that can be easily fixed, just a seal that needs to be replaced, I think. PS Thanks RickOTR I will check that out! Just noticed...

    Jurassic Park Explorer #03

    Started May 2012, I ended up buying a '94 Ford Explorer XLT (4.0L V6 4x4) on the 22nd after a few weeks of searching JP Jeeps and wondered if anyone has done the Jurassic Park tour vehicle. Haven't found any in Canada (not a surprise) but had finally found my inspiration from a few who have done...

    Update Do NOT go higher then HID 35 WATTS (will melt headlight housing). Double or better yet, triple check to ensure the bulb is securely connected. My left one wasn't and it melted the housing so I'm off tonight to pick up a new one. Has anyone tried HIDs on their Explorer? It is...

    Disabling Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) Module for HID Headlights

    Solved The DRL Module located on the front, left side of the engine bay (black (looks like a heatsink)) just need to be unplugged. DUH, I know. Anyway, the lighting is GREAT. Now it just needs to be properly aligned.

    Disabling Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) Module for HID Headlights

    Hi everyone, I need to disable the DRL module so the headlights don't turn on seconds before the engine starts. Extra, stable power is needed for my new HID 35W 5000K kit. The engine needs to be started before turning on the headlights otherwise, a ballast safety engages and one or both (in my...

    Post yer 94 pictures

    Thanks! Although it's not in the greatest condition, I had to replace the muffler, the air filter, eventually the wind-shield, and invest in new screen-accurate tires (BFGoodrich All-Terrain) by winter... Rust over the fuel door and a spot over the front right fender needs to be looked after...
