I have a 97 4.0 sohc explorer that i replaced injectors, upper and lower intake gaskets on however i have 3 out of 8 stripped threads when screwing down the upper intake, the other 5 i didnt torque to spec because im afraidof stripping them to. How can i go about fixing this? Will a helicoil...

So i got new bosch injectors in and the only place it leaks now is where the fuel line connects to the rail i notice i scored up the oring , anybody know the part number for it its one of the green ones or should i just match it up ?

update: i took it back apart and found 1 of the injectors is leaking down ( i turned the key on with the upper intake off ) 1 of the cylinders is now full of gas, aside from changing the oil since im sure theres now gas in it is there anything i should look out for before putting it back...

I guess its possible but the layout of the harness makes it pretty hard

Like gas real bad

I understand that many things can cause the white smoke but it was not doing this before replacing intake gaskets and fuel injector o rings. So im wondering if its because of the leaking fuel from injectors or if i messed something else up during the repair? I dont see what else could have...

I just got done reassembling my 97 exporer 4.0 sohc after replacing intake gaskets and injector o rings + pintle caps. It ran great before aside from a lean code on both sides. Well i started it up and it was running rough and dumping white smoke from the exhaust, after a closer look i noticed...

I have a 97 ford explorer xlt 4.0 sohc. I ordered new injector adapters part number F77Z-9G512-AA because my old ones were cracked and brittle. I found out while doing my intake manifold gaskets. My question is are they supposed to be plastic? My originals seem like a hard rubber and the new...

Nice find! Im debating weather to just buy that one or get a new maf sensor and hose for a 99 explorer and wire it up. (My maf sensor is 4 wires btw) unfortunately I checked my local junk yards. That was the first thing I did

That is the part number but I couldn't find it anywhere which is the whole problem

Ahh ok! So to be clear I can basically just get one for the 99 with the maf sensor cut the plug off the iat of my 97 and wire it to the other 2 of 7 wires off the 99 maf? Baasically my thinking then would be get a connector for the 99 maf sensor cut my 97 plug wire the 5 wires to the 99 maf and...

I found the iat is resistance based. Could I possibly just bypass the iat with a resistor in order to not get a check engine light and go with a air tube from the 99+ explorers and let the iat connector hang? Would that harm anything

My 1997 ford explorer (4.0 sohc) has an air outlet tube that's shredded where it connects to the throttle body and I'm trying to find a replacement without luck. I have came across both cold air intake kits and the tube for 99 explorers that look the same however they don't have a hole for the...
