The SEM explorer sport trac grey is discontinued 38533, I took a part off the bumper and brought it to the paint shop and picked another sem color close to it, not an exact match but close enough and no more rusty spots. I think the 2001 was one of the first water based and it did not hold up...

I have done this airbox mod to a 98 ranger 2.5 and a 2001 explorer sport 4.0. Same filter and similar box used on both. The ranger has had a k/n filter for about 10 years and no ill effects on the MAF (granatelli). I clean the maf every 2 years before a smog check, never any CEL from oiling...

Stuck Intake Manifold 4.0 OHV This worked for me on a Ranger 98 4.0 OHV. The manifold was really stuck to the EGR. Remove the throttle body as part of the process, spray PB blaster/wd40 into the recess where the EGR tube comes into the manifold. Try to get a good amount around the o ring in...

I've never seen the platinum wear off the end of the plug, and I've been working on cars since 1972. Also it never ran that smooth when I changed all 8 plugs last time, this time was only 4.

note for sea foam users, STP is licensed the sea foam and it is sold at AutoZone, same exact can same ingredients, about $5 less, (and this week buy one get one free so it is like $4.50 ea.)I looked at each cans label side by side and they are almost the same words but a different font, it even...

Just changed the intake gaskets with info obtained off this site. 3-2000 build, 4.0 SOHC. I would reccomend getting the pvc hose that goes down in the intake valley before starting, and the temp gage sensor and the ect sensor, there is almost no way to change them without pulling the manifold...

I just installed autolite iridium plugs in my 98 ranger with 185K on it, and it runs better than I ever remember it running. No bogging and very responsive. I only did the 4 exhaust side and am very impressed! I've seen cars run better from a tune up but this is very noticable in smoothness...

I reccomend changing both of them if you have to change one. On an explorer sport 2001 (just bought in sept. 95,000 miles) I had the cold start issue and finally changed the intake gaskets. Just to be sure I changed the ECT one for the computer while the manifold was off. I bought the temp...

on the driver side look through the fender opening pull back the splash shield plastic you can see it. I read change it through there but ended up going underneath for better access, one hand in front of the frame and one behind, took about 10 minutes and a little oil comes out when you do it...

pull the fuse in the panel inside the drivers side, #12 or #14 I think. It fixed the pulse problem, but the ABS light turned on and the speedo does not work now. Also it threw a DTC of no speed input. I am pursuing the sensors on the front now. as I feel that may be the problem. I replaced...

on my 2001 sport built 3-2000 it is in the back inside the jack panel, thanks for the good info!
