some success except for a couple codes Hi My problem was open thermostat and now gauge shows needle on "o" in normal, rpms are lower at about 750, and has good performance. Next I will check to see if mpg came back up from 10 to 15. I took her out and got CEL. Thought it was a few minutes...

Hi my '93 has been displaying cold temp when the engine is warmed up. I bought a new temp sending part that connects to the single wire just to the left side of thermostat on manifold. I have been reading many different threads and one of them talked about sender grounding to the manifold? I...

I need "outloud", even yelling is ok...lol I know I need to plug the IAC back in, but it just seems like an out of control choke. original plugs were in when I bought it a few hundred miles ago...mostly carbon, ash deposits, moist, and a plug looked worn but "clean" I changed plugs, wires...

Hi I would like to start by saying thanks for this web site. I have read posts about IAC so now I am slightly smarter than before. I cleaned my IAC because my RPMs are too high at 1500 to start, 1100 at idle, and goes up by 500 to 1600 when I put car into reverse; wasting gas and trans not...

Hi I know just enough to be dangerous, but I just changed my rockers and pushrods on my 93 xlt, With the intake manifold pulled off already because I had a water leak. I covered my center area so not to lose anything down into the cam area. I loosened the three bolts holding down rocker...

Thanks, that helped

sorry I put this in wrong years forum...I am seeing if I can delete it.

I am confused by all the different answers on the internet about roll over miles. if I have 24 as the first two digits, does that mean I have 240K plus miles on my 1993 because tenths become first digit? or do I have 24K after one or two roll overs; could be 124K or 224K? is there a...

Freeze plug leak Hi I just bought '93 and freeze plug leaked. I tightened it (rubber expandable) and everything is ok, but I am going to install block heater when I get time. It will be more permanent and I am moving to upper Maine next year. Anyhow; how many plugs are there? I am worried...

Hi, I had water leak under lower intake because gasket failed, no problem. I broke an intake bolt with too much torque, but it came out easy enough. I was removing rocker arm assembly and pushrods to clean everything good and put them back on because I was not hearing any noise or having...

thanks again;

Back to the broken intake manifold bolt I mentioned at the beginning of my saga... I am having a heck of a time finding a replacement bolt! Have tried many auto parts websites and the local napa here.. they said the ford dealer but I went to the "official" Ford parts site on line and couldn't...

Hi Gasket is a one piece. I was lucky on the bolt I broke. There was enough thread to get a nut on it, but I had to grind the six outside edges. There was not enough room for the overall 13mm so I ground it down to 11mm, made sure it fit my socket, and used JB weld when I put the nut on. Tried...

Thanks, pic is worth a 1000 words. and thanks for the dealer reference

Hey all.. I have a 93 Explorer XLT.. 125,000 miles on it. Quick question: Can I replace just the push rods and not do the rocker arms too? I havent been experiencing any "symptoms" of trouble with either the rods or arms, just thinking to be proactive since I have it all torn down working on...

Hi, I messed up and broke the left front intake manifold bolt, but that is not what my question is about. When I removed the other bolts, the manifold and then the gasket, it seemed like the sealer they sell with the gasket for front and back edges was not "touched" or squeezed. I am worried...
