OK so I have had my on going battle with my codes, low fuel pressure etc. Determined there was a problem with the new fuel pump. Turns out there was, had difficulties removing it but finally did and last night I got th elast of the parts I neede and was putting everything back together. So...

By now most of you know the back story... 6 5.0 10 psi at the rail (should be 30-45). On a whim I called Autozone to get a new fuel pump again since the tank was down and it had a 1 year warranty on it. In talking witht he guy onthe phone I mentioned I wanted the whole housing this time...

Back Story: 171, 174 (lean bank 1 and 2) and 401 codes (low voltage EGR) Last weekend spent the weekend removing the upper intake manifold and took off the EGR. Din't look to bad but cleaned it up and replaced the gasket onthe EGR and upper intake manifold. Started it up... no change. Bad...

Have an airbag code. Counted the blinks 4 pause 5 Does anyone know what this code means? thanks

On top of all my other issues (see my epic got the bad news thread) my amber airbag warning light is on. Even when I pull the negative terminal to clear the comp for my other stuff. Any ideas? Just want to clear it so I can TRY to get an inspection sticker.

I pulled out the MAF to clean it a month or two back but the rubber boot doesn't seal tight enough and stay in place anymore. Every few weeks or so it slips out of place and the car seems ot run rough when it does. Any tricks or solutions to get it to stay in?

My hood release cable had been sticking/ not really working. It was a real big pain in the ass to get the hood cracked open. Well over the weekend it finally snapped. I can't get a good grip with channel locks to pull it fromt he inside. How can I get the hood open fromt he outside...

I love cars... but I hate working on them. It's not even so much that I don't like working on them it's that I don't know what I'm doing and I'm clumsy and oafy and just not good at working in tight spots. That being said... I work for a living and cant' afford to always send my truck to...

I have a blocked cat and no money for a few weeks (gotta love when things break this time of year) If I drill a few holes in the pipe just before the blocked Cat will that help the backpressure enough to buy me a few weeks before I can get my exhaust fixded correctly? I would like to not...

Can you clean an o2 sensor? Got a code and I know it's in front of a blocked CAT so I'm wondering if I change the CAT do I need a new o2 sensor or can I clean it? If so how?

Have a 96 EB Explorer 5.0 Got a code for bank 1 o2 sensor but I'm not sure which is bank 1 and which is bank 2? I would assume that being in front of the grill and looking into the engine bay Bank 1 would be on the right and bank 2 on the left? Correct?

So I took my 96 EB into the dealership to get it checked so I can figure out what it was and stop the guess work. The car wouldn't start so I had to tow it in. It didn't start for them either and they pushed it into the garage. Anyway here are the codes they pulled. P0171 (Bank 1 Lean)...

Had my old problems... I pulled apart and cleaned the MAF and cleared the codes. Didn't run great but ran better for a while... finally popped a new code and it read as 0171. Thinking of taking it in to Ford for a correct diagnosis but figure I'd give this forum another shot. When I...

Went to change the spark plugs on my 96 E.B. 5.0 took the drivers side wheel off to get easier access (horrible freakin design by the way). There they were in front of me... start with the easy one on the far right... grab the boot... Nothing. tried the others also. same thing...
