- 1998 Explorer Sport
Hey Folks,
So here's my tale of woe.
I have a 1998 Ex Sport with the 4.0 SOHC engine in it and it's 4wd. I bought it because it had issues and the deal was good not great but good.
So far I've repaired some of the problems but the random multiple misses are driving me nuts.
I have spent the last week plowing through older threads but couldn't find anything that address this specifically.
I have up to this time replace the MAF, cleaned the IAC twice, replace the coil pack and wires, replace the upper and lower intake gaskets. It gets good vacuum 19 on the OBD2 analyzer.
It will not miss at idle or when cold. It will at times stop missing (CEL stops flashing) while rolling down the road at 60+ mph. Although you can feel the engine missing at times there seems to be no lack of power from a dead start or kicking to passing gear and accelerating.
So my question to y'all is do you have any thoughts on what could be giving this very nice truck the fits?
Thank you for any help you can provide.
Doc
