After picking up my 1994 Explorer about 2 1/2 years ago for a good price ($500) and putting about $1,000 worth of parts into it (new compressor, accumulator, hoses, radiator, power steering pump, fuel pump, spark plugs, spark plug wires, fan, fan clutch, etc.), it was hit. My son was at a dead...

Had the A/C compressor clutch fail on my 1994 Expedition about 2 months ago. The compressor was also slowing leaking refrigerant from the main body seal. Cool weather in Atlanta so no problems. Got the shorter drive belt, disconnected the compressor switch (on the compressor) and bypassed the...

Coming home tonight (thankfully in the neighborhood), I hear a 'belt' noise coming from the engine and smell rubber burning. Pulled into the driveway, shut the car off and opened the hood. Smoke coming from the compressor clutch and belt. The compressor wasn't on but it appears to have...

I started getting a code 332 and 'Check Engine' light on my 1994 XLT with 178,000. I noticed one of the vacuum hoses going into the DPFE had a hole in it and thought for sure that was the problem. Replaced the hose and no luck! Ended up replacing the DPFE with an Airtex/Wells unit and...

The check engine light flickered on and off yesterday for several seconds when driving the car. Car drove fine, light went off. 1st time I've ever seen the Check Engine light come on. Today the car died. Turns out the 30A EEC fuse had blown. I swapped fuses and drove it to the nearest...

I recently changed my fuel pump and installed a Bosch (OE supplier) complete hanger assembly, pump, strainer, fuel sender. Now my gas gauge will 'float' about a 1/4 - 1/2 tank or more when I drive. It will drift down towards empty, hang out there a little bit, and drift back. It does it...

As I understand it, if you have a bad blower motor resistor, you only get high speed. I have sort of the opposite problem. I have all the fan speeds but high speed isn't always the same. When set on high, it is definitely higher than the next lowest speed(and blowing pretty hard) but...

I am debating whether to replace the o2 sensors on my 1994 Explorer. Although I am not getting any codes my gas mileage is pretty poor. Maybe 11-13 around town, maybe 15-16 highway. Engine runs great, idles great. I have replaced plugs, wires, air temperature sensor, both coolant sensors...

Understanding that every situation is different (how low you let your tank get, quality of gas, etc.), how many people have had to replace their factory fuel pumps? I am curious how many have had to replace them and at what mileage did they fail? My Explorer has 178,000 and going strong...

1994 cranked right up this morning as usual. Never had a problem starting it. Drove 4 miles to the bank. Parked the car for 4 minutes, went back out and it cranks but won't start. I can hear relay click when I turn the key but don't hear the pump whine. It's a little difficult to hear...

I noticed the right bulb was not illuminating on the high mount brake light (left bulb works fine) on my 1994 Explorer. I replaced the right bulb, still wouldn't illuminate. I replaced the whole lamp assembly (new Dorman part) with new bulbs. The left bulb illuminates, the right one still...

I have a small oil leak (creates a dime size stain overnight) just behind the oil drain bolt. There's a bolt that appears to be securing a piece of thin metal to the oil pan (see picture link). https://www.dropbox.com/s/i6zkhzv7swytjuj/Oil%20Pan.jpg?dl=0 It looks like that joint, right...

I have a 1994 XLT. I need a new radio (AM/FM/Cassette) is OK as most of the buttons don't work on the original. Also need a right headlamp assembly. Anybody have those items they're willing to part with for a reasonable price? Thanks in advance!!!

I noticed that the coolant level was low in reservoir bottle on my 1994 explorer. I couldn't see any obvious leaks anywhere so I thought I'd start the engine and let it heat up and pressurize to see if I could find any leak points. I started the engine (it was cold, hadn't been started that...

My 1994 Explorer doesn't have high or low pressure A/C service port caps (didn't have them when I purchased it). I bought a replacement set (both high and low caps) from Advanced Auto. The low side cap screws on fine. The high side port doesn't have any inside threads to screw the cap on...

I have a leak (or several) somewhere in the A/C system. It looks like the seals on the compressor are leaking as well as at least one o-ring at a hose connection (after using dye and a sniffer). I am probably going to take the opportunity and replace most of the system once it's opened up...

Hi, I own a 1994 XLT that I recently purchased. I noticed that the brake light doesn't come on when the parking brake is engaged. It doesn't come on when the key is turned to the 'accessories' position or when the car is started. I am thinking it's a burned out bulb. Aren't the dash...

Only getting about 11mpg in the city on my 1994 XLT 2WD. It runs great, no misses, idles very smoothly, starts right up, transmission shifts great. I recently bought it from a single owner who paid to keep it well maintained. It has 175,000 miles on it. Here's what I've done since I...

What tool is needed to remove the MAF sensor? Is it a reverse Torx? What size? Searched through my toolbox and don't seem to have that one! Thanks!

It looks like I have at least a leaking upper manifold gasket on my 1994 XLT. I can see coolant pooling by the passenger side valve cover. Might also have oil leaking from the lower intake manifold gasket (haven't had a chance to confirm yet). I'd like to replace the valve cover gaskets and...

I just replaced my cracked fan and fan clutch. In reading the forum, the fan is supposed to spin when the car is first started and then disengage if cold air is flowing over the radiator into the clutch. The fan always appears engaged. I guess it's possible it's disengaging when I am...

My son is soon going to be driving my 1994 XLT. While they are mechanical beasts and anything can happen, I am trying to do as much preventative maintenance as I can to make it as reliable as possible. What I have recently done: Replace Spark Plugs Replace Spark Plug wires Replace...

The original power steering pump on my 1994 Explorer is leaking fluid right where the large nut is connected to the pump (where the high pressure line is connected). It looks like its a fixed nut and maybe the plastic is cracked, but I haven't taken had a chance to really look at it yet. Is it...

Hi, the temperature gauge fluctuates on my 1994 Explorer and gives inconsistent readings like a lot of other posters on the forum so I want to change the sender. I have two specific questions: 1. Does the sender wire just pull off the top of the sender? The top of the sender is threaded...
