I've got 17,000 miles on a remanufactured Jasper engine, 4.0 SOHC. A week ago, I've been experiencing a high idle both at start up and when warm. I'm talking 2500 rpm and above. I've searched the forum, put a new IAC valve on, checked for vacuum leaks,(found none) and still get a P1506 code...

Does anyone know what the current (12/19/2010) discount code for Rockauto is. I need to order a multifunction switch for my daughter's truck, and the last one expired on 12/2. Many thanks Tom

I bought my daughter a 2000 Explorer XLT. After fixing the mechanical problems and getting it inspected, I'm trying to take care of the nuisance issues. Todays' problem is interior and puddle lights. They don't come on when opening the doors or using the remote to unlock the doors. They will...

I pulled the IAC off my '98 Eddie (4.0 SOHC) yesterday, and the "gasket" was shot. It's actually a double O ring that fits into grooves in the intake. O'Reilly wants $5.99 plus $5.00 shipping. The stealership wants $12.99. My question is, has anyone replaced the O rings with a paper gasket...

I just bought another Explorer, a 2000 XLT with a 4.0 OHV 4WD. It's a sweet looking ride, but has a few probs. Among other things, the CEL is on. I checked it last night with my code reader, and got a "0" code. I cleared that, and the light went off. I took it to a shop this morning to get...

My daughter just had her car(Not the Explorer) towed hear because it overheated and died. She said it blew coolant all over the windshield from under the hood. When the driver got it off the hook and I popped the hood, I found a dime size hole in the plastic coolant overflow reservoir. It...

I need an underbody expert! For several months, I've had a bunch of clunking and clanking coming from under my 98 Eddie Bauer. The Ford dealer told me my problem was ball joints. I replaced upper and lower BJ's, upper control arm on drivers side, upper control arm bushings on passenger side...

I've got a '98 Eddie. Last summer, the AC was blowing hot, and I narrowed it down to the blend door actuator not working. I cut open the front of the plenum and moved the blend door manually to get AC. I moved it back this past winter to get heat. This week, I got an EATC unit from the junk...

My AC quit on Thursday, it was working great on Wednesday. Now it blows HOT air out the vents on the dash and on the rear of the console. (by the way, it's a 98 Eddie) I pulled off the blend door actuator and put a new one in it's place. Switching between max AC and heat, the actuator...

I have a '98 EB that I bought used. It has a multi disc cd changer in the center console tht I have no use for, but I can't see how it is attached. There are no visible screws on the exterior of the changer. Can anyone tell me how to get it out without damaging the console? If you can tell...

My daughter's got a 99 Chrysler 300M. Her factory alarm goes off for no reason. They told her at college she would not be allowed to park on the campus lot outside her dorm if she didn't get it fixed. She took it to the stealer, and $180.00 later they declared it "fixed". Two months later...

I bought myself a Pro Scan OBD analyzer for Christmas, and when I connected it to my Ex, I got an error message that said there was a hardware interface problem. Apparently, it's not recognizing the cables attaching the analyzer to my laptop. I just now tried reinstalling the softwrre and...

I've got a 98 Eddie Bauer with the message center on the center console. I'm always glancing down to check my current mileage. It doesn't seem to vary much between city and highway driving. Does anyone know how often the computer updates the info on the message center?

I've got a 2002 Explorer with the manual heat controls. The blower is blowing hard, but no air is coming out anywhere. I'm guessing the blend door or actuator is shot. I've searched all the threads on this forum, and when I look around under my dash, nothing looks like the pictures that I've...

Does anybody know where I can go to figure out my VIN. I'm trying to determine what kind of rear differential I have so I know what kind of fluid to put in when I change it. I went to Fleet.Ford.com but when I entered my VIN, it didn't tell me all I needed to know. Does the VIN even contain...
