I removed the center console to reach the access panel and now like how much more room there is. But I also like having HVAC in the rear. I was going to hack up the center console to keep hvac but now have decided to get a 3" "duct blower fan" and go entirely custom so I don't have a hackjob...

P0171 and P1130. The P1130 is new and only came up after swapping o2 sensors. The 0171 has been there a while. I spent a couple hours with a smoke machine a while ago and fixed a lot of vacuum leaks and got it drivable but it still will average 11 mpg driving conservatively with 31s which is...

Hello, my 1997 explorer 5.0 is still not running right. Lean on bank 1 code but it is not lean it is very rich, smells rich and when I went to replace the o2 sensors they were caked in soot. So now my question and only question is where do the o2 sensor wires go? Through the bus connector at...

Bring a trailer is your best bet

8500 good price. Once it starts being driven all the seals and hoses that are old will rapidly start to deteriorate and leak most likely.

I use NAPA remand. Typically if it's not an OG rusted to **** caliper then the pins that the caliper floats on are seized or corroded beyond functional.

Does it have fluid in it..?

Flush it with dawn dish soap. Ik you said it can't be ATF but if it WERE ATF I've had to use dish soap to get it out of the radiator before, maybe It will work with your oily sludge.

NAPA should have the T and all the rubber hose you'd need to replace the old stuff with new.

I reinstalled the original MAF today and it is running much better now, but it it still throwing a lean code only on bank 1 now and the long term fuel trims support that fact. It idles much better but not perfect. Which bank is bank 1?

That is the noise your ac compressor makes while operating.

Here is the current situation. I purchased an auto line smoke tester machine from eBay. Vacuum leaks I found were EGR, IAC, and intake tube where it meets the tb, and where the elbow for the oil fill vacuum line goes. I made a temporary egr block off plate (for testing purposes), used RTV...

Since it sounds like you have coolant filling the cylinders and hydro locking it you should try a nice and good 4x4 rolling start to see if you can **** the rotating assembly out of the block. Then you will HAVE to get a new engine.

I usually have good luck just replacing the leaking/non-functioning AC parts and charging it up and g2g. Idk a damn thing about the oil requirements for an ac system, when I charged mine up this year I did add some oil I got from Napa along with the Freon. So far it still works good (100F avg...

I wouldn't even bother with a jack tbh. Turn the wheels if you want the extra space and do it in the driveway wherever you're parked.

Valve seats or seals? What is the criteria for EGR opening and closing? I've tried removing vacuum source no correlation with running quality. I thought about making a block off plate type gasket before. I think I'm getting a little closer, I'll try to look at the plugs today again. It will...

I installed new fuel injections systems o-ringers. The old ones were old enough to disintegrate into not a connected circle on removal. The issue persists however differently. It will actually idle smoothly now but occasionally (coming to a stop after cruising), the idle quality and vehicle...

Flywheel loose? I had that happen once. Them bolts gotta go on with red loctite it can be hard to torque them.

I've pulled the upper again. The pcv is still glued in tight all hoses were in place (and new) I've tried plugging all the hoses off individually multiple times now. The whole intake looks like it could be sucking air around that area, all my test driving for the most part is on dry gravel...

Yes.

Well when I took both half's off the other day I made sure the pcv valve was glued in there tight with rtv (and still was when I checked yesterday.) Looked over all the intake gaskets and liberally applied rtv on the top and bottom of the blue silicon seals that seal the bottom of the intake to...

171 and 174 It sounds leaky but I cannot find any leaks for the life of me.

Is there supposed to be a screen or something I can clean in the injectors?

Well forgive me if I'm hesistant to spend another $240 on injectors that may not fix anything. It runs lean. It throws a lean code for both banks today. When it's running poorly the fuel trims <~40%. It only seems to run good or okay when the fuel trims are >~40%, but it will not richen the...

New wires did not help. The rain came and I had a chance to look at it today. The 2nd spark plug back on the drivers side had a broken ceramic (the one that's kinda hard to reach behind the shock tower.). I replaced it with a similar plug I had on hand, added some fresh gas (tank was almost...
