1999 explorer 4.0 sohc

Bought It about 3 months ago, the headlights were brand new. About a month ago I hit 218k and almost instantaneously as it rolled over, my dash lights went off and would only come back on if I turned on my headlight switch. NOW THIS IS WHERE I START TO HATE MYSELF It was daytime so I didn’t...

] Hello I'm new and frustrated lol

Hi all. As the title says. I recharge my A/C in a shop and we found out that the Evaporator Core is leaking. They want to charge me almost $600 and the parts alone are about $300...A buddy of mine works in a shop and he can get the parts for cheap (or I can just buy them online) and do it for me...

When I first start my explorer it will crank right over.But the next time I start it I have to floor the gas pedal.After it runs for about 5 minutes it will stop running on its own and I have to floor it and keep gas on it to keep it running.Any ideas on what might be the problem???

Well, I guess I will introduce myself. DQCowboy is my on-line handle, and I'm not a Cowboy, but I do like to eat at the Hubbard Dairy Queen when I can, which is about 70 miles south of Dallas. Actually I live about 20 miles outside of town, on a small 40 acre post oak hide-away, with two...

I found out firsthand today why tune-ups are so expensive. On the 1999 Explorer with the 4.0L V6 SOHV, the plugs are a bit of a pain to get to, especially on the passenger's side of the engine. I have a Haynes manual for my vehicle; I found it was vague on what would be involved to change the...

I recently bought a 1999 ford explorer that has been sitting for an unknown period of time. We put a new battery in it and some gas and it attempts to start but wont. It starts when we spray starter fluid in it but when we stop it shuts off. Anyone know the best thing to do? I suspect fuel pump...

I have a '99 XLS 4.0 and there is a rattling/tinging noise coming from somewhere around the serpentine belt tensioner. Not so much when it's idling but when I rev it, it is very noticeable. I thought it coulda been the tensioner itself cuz it looks rather wobbly, but when I removed the belt and...

So I went to a few performance and muffler shops in my area over the past week and I'm trying to make a decision on an exhaust setup. (FYI, my Explorer is a v6 4.0 SOHC) Going in I was going to have a single in/dual out Flowmaster 40 series muffler installed on the stock tubing, but I had two...
