The engine itself smokes on my 94 ex. If the car is just idling or driving around slowly it's perfectly fine. But if I take it up to 55 it'll run and drive fine but when I come to a stop and open the hood there just tons of smoke coming from the lower area of the engine. I THINK , it's oil...

I have two 94 ex's. one is a parts car and has the stock keyless entry antitheft system. I would like to add it to the other explorer. I have no idea if the other explorer has keyless entry already , it only has a standard key. I'm wondering what it is all have to do to move the system...

so when I test drove the ex today after a winter of sitting when I stopped and opened the hood the return jug for the antifreeze was bubbling. I can't teil if thats simply air in the system escaping or if I'm boiling the coolent , the car doesn't run hot or overheat.

We have a 98 ford econoline with the triton v8. Yesterday it was hard to start took several minutes of cranking to get it going and had to pump the gas pedal as if it was carbureted. Today when I started it , it started but was smoking every kind of smoke. I'm not kidding. First it was blue...

mistake being buying another explorer. lol Ok so get this. I test drove an explorer last week , a 97. Drove great had plenty of power ran nice. Drove it home an hour and a half and parked in my driveway. Today i put the plates on it , went to start it, and it didn't turn over. Tried again and...

I test drove two second gens the other day. The first one had plenty of power and torque , got up to speed nicely and was quiet. Like a normal car. The second one however was very slow , low on power , and the engine was very noisey and sounded like I was pushing it so hard. (not exhaust...

How hard would it be to DOWN convert a 2nd gen vehicle cosmetically to a first gen front clip. The reason why is because I really want to revive the jurassic park car but with something more reliable then a first gen which was plagued with problems from the get go. I was thinking of buying...

I have a 2006 crown victoria 145k automatic. I was doing some city type driving after a 1 hour highway trip and all the sudden the car refused to go into 3rd. In drive , it will go into first, then second , but when it goes to shift to third it simply acts as if it's in a neutral state and...

I'm trying to modify a first gen alternator to produce electricity constantly. It's for a little project I'm working on. Keep in mind it's not actually in an explorer. I'm just trying to figure out how to connect the cable to it so any time it's spinning it will send out electricity. And I'm...

So I pulled my explorer out of storage only to find as I drove it the overdrive doesn't work. I really don't know what else to say. I check to see if it has transmission fluid and it does so I don't know whats wrong. It worked fine before. I fell I should add that this transmission always had...

I have a 98 e-series van with a triton v8. This is this vans second engine and it ran ok when it was installed but now runs very rough. Prior to this it ran ok but would jiggle/shutter back and forth when at about 45mph or so. Now it's hard to get started , when started sounds like it's...

I think THIS is the cause of all my problems , I only noticed it because it's so cold out the exhaust makes that vapor/smoke/steam thing. There's a loud clicking noise and the engine stutters along with it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_AxJu-ycgI

So recently I bought a 300$ limited edition that has 240,000 on it and it's quieter , smoother and has more power then my jp ex which only has 145,000 on it. I was first assuming all old explorers just get loud and rickety with age. But now I see there's just something seriously wrong with it...

I was considering painting my limited black like this one I was also considering changing the grille to my ford logo navajo grille , possibly some other navajo and second gen parts , what do you think?

I just got another 94 explorer limited for 300$ , yea 300$. Anyway the rear brake lines are not installed just the front. The pedal however goes all the way to the floor and you really really have to pump the brakes for them to do anything (i drove it home with the e-brake). The guy I bought it...

An first gen guys in wisconsin want to come help me fix my explorer? It runs absolutely terrible with more engine related problems then is even worth typing.

I bought my explorer almost two years ago with the intention of painting it like the jurassic park explorers from the first movie. However , this was my only car and never had the ability to do this and still be able to get around. That's all changed now I've bought a honda , and my ex has been...

I don't have an air compressor or gun , and I think rattle can paint will just come off. So I was wondering what kind of roll on paint I would need to ensure nuclear adhesion to my car lol. I'm also painting the stock rims the same color. Note , I realize roll on paint isn't perfect , I...

Where is there a list of the abs trouble codes? I already saw how to get the codes with the paper clip method , but I have found nothing that actually says what the flashes mean specifically.

I accidently chipped this while changing my rotors and pads , will I be ok as far as driving?

Are the door switches suppose to light up? For some reason I'm remembering that they did on my old one but not this one.

From what I've found out this is a common problem for the transmission to overheat and spray out all it's fluid in one big dump. Basically mine does exactly this. I've read that the most common problem is a clogged radiator , or a clogged transmission cooler. Now I'm going to have to have it...

I'm currently stuck between two different radios and can't really decide which is best , as far as I can tell they're mostly the same PIONEER DEH3200UB JVC KD-R610 These are both roughly 130$. I got a 130$ limit including shipping. I'm wondering if there is any difference in sound...

Where can I buy the special headlight switch for the eddie bauer/limited models? My headlight switch isn't the same as a normal one. It's got a different connector with more wires which I can only assume is because of the automatic headlights.

I'm not great with engines so I'll explain best I can. The ac compressor has this little wheel in front of the pulley that constantly is engaging and disengaging every 5 seconds. Thus making a loud click each time. It's driving me insane. My ac doesn't even work and isn't turned on so I...
