After much testing with manifold gauge and I’ve dye I found the leak in the evaporator. While I was at it I figure I would replace the accumulator since it was starting to rust and only $18 from RockAuto. Got everything put together and did a vacuum test. Got to -25PSI. After removing the...

You all were so helpful troubleshooting my FPR issue i figured you might have some insight on my new issue. Now that the FPR was replaced I was able to go for a test drive and everything seems solid, till I jerked the wheel to the left and then back to the right. Doing this caused a...

I just put a bunch of work into my old 1996 Explorer 5.0 and am getting P1072 and P1075 codes. I've checked the MAF, air filter, Vacuum leaks etc and everything appears to be fine. Then looking at the scan data I noticed all 4 brand new O2 sensors are almost mirroring each other and this made me...

Today I smelled fuel on my daughter's 1996 Explorer AWD V8 and tracked it to a leaking Fuel Pressure Relief Valve (schrader valve) on the fuel rail. However after hours of searching i can't find a replacement. Does anyone know a part number or where I should look? I already checked the local...

After having a P0340 problem for a week i finally ordered the camshaft sensor and got everything disassembled. Then to my surprised i found a mess at the top of the camshaft synchronizer. The picture below from user Sal619 shows what I found. What could cause things to metal and make such a...

My '96 V8 X just started throwing P0340 so i picked up a new cam shaft sensor at autozone and hit the forum to find the sensor location and instruction. I keep reading about a tool needed to line everything up. Is that tool for replacing just the sensor or the camshaft synchronizer? Where on...

I swear my truck is either going to fall apart or kill me in the next 1k miles before it hits 200k. Today i went to go out and changing the knob for fan settings (AC, Max AC, floor only, floor and vent, etc) does nothing, not fan or blowing air. It sounds like the AC compressor kicks in but no...

I know this is the explorer forum but i have spent the better part of 3 hours searching the web and "expedition forums" and have not found anything to help me with my problem and the folks here are always so helpful i figured i would ask. I am looking at buying a 06 Expedition at auction and...

So after all the work i have done to my X with the help of this forum i am back again with some new problems. This all started today. Click: At low speeds (at least when i notice it) i hear a click click click noise comeing from i think the drivers side. Rattle: When im driving at any speed...

After putting all the effort in to replace my fuel pump (only possible with everyones help) i decided to start doing a little upkeep on my X. The first on my list was the sway bar bushings so my front end would stop clunking. All the bolts came out without any issues which was a big surprise on...

Out of no where my 96 V8 XLT AWD Explorer would not start last night. The engine turns over quickly and sounds normal except for not starting. I let it sit overnight and again this morning it would not start. I had worn the battery down trying to start it so i hooked up the battery charger...

The other day my '96X started making a noise like a bearing in one of the accessories attached to the serpentine belt is going. I got under the hood to try and identify the culprit but i can only determine it is on the passanger side. Is there any way to determine which accessory it is? I...

I have a chance to buy a set of factory V8 99 manifolds from a member here and was wondering if anyone could confirm or deny that they will fit on a 96 V8?

So after many posts, alot of great answers, some hunting, and some luck it looks like i will finally be doing something about my cracked header. My last question is what after market cat converts can i put on the truck for cheap money that wont mess with the check engine light? I am not...

I still have not done anything about the header problems i posted about previously except fill the crack with the high temp "liquid metal" from Autozone. Before i can decide wether to go forward with replacing the upper and lower ball joints, tie rods, etc that it needs i have to figure out...

Thank you to everyone that gave me advice on my header problems a few months back. I have spent the time since saving up the money to do the exhaust system from the headers back (NE truck and everything is rusted out) and taking stock of any other issues to see if it is time to throw in the...

I have read a bunch of the posting here in the A/C forum and didn't find anything that i thought answered my problem. My A/C stopped blowing cold just over a year ago but the compressor would fast cycle on/off ever 5 seconds or so. Not having the money to deal with it i just used the vent...

Guys, I cam across your forum while searching on how hard it is to replace the headers on my '96 5.0 XLT and figured i would try asking for help. Here is the deal. The passanger side headers have rusted out and I just moved to Las Vegas from the east coast and everything on my X has a...
