    Speed-related noise behind radio, sounds like a speedo cable that I don't have

    I'd still respectfully disagree. Sure if you use breadtruck 4 ton stands they would hold the load and are stable enough, the issue is what they are placed on. Unlevel concrete, broken concrete, ashpalt, gravel or some other that perfectly flat stable concrete- and I stand by my opinion. I'd...

    Speed-related noise behind radio, sounds like a speedo cable that I don't have

    I would totally disagree with the above very respectfully. Jackstands are no where near stable enough to handle the vehicle in motion safely. I have a full size vehicle hoist in my shop which is the only way to safely perform what is suggested. As an altenative use a mechanics REMOTE stehoscope...

    Mis adjusted or damaged shift linkage could be the cause and the source of your symptom before the incident. Dirty throttle valve (carbon can keep the valve hung momentarily) Bad Idle Air Control (carbon can cause the printle to be hung and apply too much air at idle) Bad EGR or EGR control...

    1999 Ford Explorer 4.0 SOHC hesitates, bucks and dies.

    So did I read that right you did a cylinder balence test and obe whole bank of the engine had no effect? You have mechanical issues, timming, compression, valve train etc. 24psi at the rail? Whole different problem, 24 psi is too low for EFI

    Small Question (What is Senter?)
