This ABS light is getting to be a pain in the A$$! I replaced both front hubs today, took it for a drive and the ABS light illuminated again. It's a 99 Ex 5.0 AWD. Any thoughts?

No, it was accelerating like crap last year in the winter amd this year in the summer......have tried so many things and aksed so many people im getting tired of hearing myself....was wondering if it had anything to do with the catalytic converter?

Fixed It! Just got done finishing the ex 2" shackle kit did it and also replaced all the shocks now for the next project.......bigger tires and suggestions nad prices are good too..

Just need some suggestions on rear end sag i have a 2000 ex sport and the rear is sagging awfully....ive searched around the forums and i cant seem to get an answer to whether an AAL is in the running.......need some help.

I have noticed over the past week that some days my acceleration will be faster than other days. not really sure what this means but here is a scenario......One day ill start to drive and ill only have to tap the gas to get a pretty rapid acceleration and other days just to get the thing up to...

Just a quick question. I went to the Ford Dealer the other day (only because my drivetrain is still under warranty) to have a mechanic come with me to test drive my vehicle. I told him the problem. The tranny when under normal acceleration, in between gears, will jump to around 4500-5000 rmp and...

Ok. replaced the fuel filter getting a little better gas mileage and also checked for vacuum leaks, there were none found, but cold start problem is still there. any OTHER ideas?

Cold start problem is still there. Kind of running out of ideas, and still wondering if a clogged fuel filter will hurt my gas mileage. Any ideas are better than no ideas. Thanks guys!

So far so good. Replaced the plugs with the OEM Motorcrafts and acceleration rocks! Cleaned, once again, the MAF Sensor and the IAC so far no bad cold starts. One more question. Will a clogged fuel filter hurt my gas mileage? Thanks for all the help guys! IT HAS BEEN WELL APPRECIATED!

plugs and wires haven't been done yet. Got held up with the holidays. But the MAF was recently cleaned and a new K&N Drop in filter was added. i was going to change the fuel filter but the tool i needed was nowhere to be found. So that wasn't accomplished either. I need some specific tips on how...

Already been done, any other ideas?

OK, I have yes another question. Started her up today after sitting for about 5 hours in the cold. The truck started to shudder and the rpms were at like 400 - 500 and would jump to about 1000 and back down to 400 - 500. It felt like the engine was going to stall, but it didn't. Finally after...

Is there anything else that could cause these problems?

:confused: How can i diagnose if my TPS is bad. My truck has been very sluggish the past few months and @ cruising speeds, normally between 45 & 55 mph, when i touch the gas lightly the truck seems it wants to stall then picks back up and accelerates. It actually has a bucking feel to it.

Ok. I'll do the plugs and wires today, and i already have the fuel filter so i'll replace that while i'm at it. Another question. What is the easiest way to access the plugs? And are autolite plugs cool or should i stick with motorcraft and what type (platinum or the OEM replacement)

Could a clogged fuel filter be a cause of hesitation issues also? And even if it isn't probaly going to replace just for preventative maintenance. How bout the TPS? maybe another culprit?

What kind of driveablility issues and what kind of problems did you find with the plugs when u took them out? How bout some autolite plugs and wires?

is there anything else that could cause this sort of thing? Also how can you determine if it's a bad wire? If you read this post of mine this also might be a contributing factor: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=147200

FOUND IT! But have another problem. Truck seems to have more power on somedays than others. I have noticed a jerking when lightly pressing on the gas pedal, as if the engine wants to shut down but then picks back up, and it hesitates. The power problem is in acceleration. I notice some days i...

ok, couldn't find it, my mechanic said it only has one wire leading to it. please leave feedback

Where is the CTS located on the 4.0 ohv +Hesitation and loss of power Just trying to find out where the CTS is located on this engine and how many wires are leading to it.

the gaskets solved the problem. NO MORE CEL, gas mileage is back up, and runnin strong.

please look at this thread to help diagnose my problem......http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/search.php?searchid=970596

yeah, i tore it apart, and the first thing was i could untighten the bolts to the intake plenum with my hand, second the gaskets were shot, hard as a rock and definitely worn down, probably not holding a good seal. any more experiences with this problem and the p0171 and p0174 codes posted would...

Family mechanic told me today that the INTAKE GASKET is usually and commonly known as the problem with the good old pushrod. Got the gaskets will be tearing into it ASAP. I also tried spraying carb cleaner around the intake plenum, but didn't hear any change in the rpms. Does that mean that the...
