engine

Can someone please tell me where the electrical engine control unit is located on a 1993 ford explorer 4.0? A picture or diagram would be nice.

I have an '89 Aerostar XL with nearly 200,000 miles on it, It did run perfect. The body was rough but she was very dependable, no issues until now. I started the van like normal and let it run for a couple of minutes before I drove. I pulled out of a parking lot onto a busy street and went about...

Hello, I have been trying to install a used engine I just bought, the 6 Cylinder E 4.0L EFI SOHC on my 2002 Sport Trac. I set the engine in but I could not get it to pull tight to the transmission. It sits about half an inch or so away, no matter what I try to do. I was able to get some bolts...

So I'm in the process of making my engine bay more pleasing to the eye and also easier to work on. I have a 1997 Sport 4.0SOHC. So far I've removed my a/c (haven't gotten the heaterbox back on yet) and done away with that intake cover. My future plans are to get rid of some of the large ugly...

Need some help from the vets. here on EF. My truck has a 4.0L EFI SOHC 6cyl and it is 2WD. I just wanted to know because I am a noob, can this be converted to a 4x4 and can the engine get a upgrade to put out more power.

Hey guys, so here's the deal: I have a 1997 Explorer XLT with around 72k miles and it seems when I start it cold, there is a very high-pitched squeak/chirp noise that comes from the engine. When I rev it, the higher RPMs seem to make it chirp much faster until it returns down to idle. The...

Hi I just got a '07 sportrac and I want a lil more power, I was thinking about putting a turbocharger or a supercharger under the hood... Does someone know about what can I do? Maybe recomend different brands of those accesories... I have no idea of what other parts I need for my engine.. Help...

ive been having an noise coming from my engine for a while now i was recently in the shop to get body work done. I was told by the owner that there was a bearing that was going or something like that. And they would have to take the block apart to really see whats going on and i should either...

hey everyone, after a routine oil change today, I started to hear a clatter from the engine.. it initially sounded like the valvetrain but it gets louder towards the crankshaft region. It's the first time I have actually noted this kind of sound - my friend's Camry made the same sort of noise...

I installed a Brand New BBK 66mm Throttle Body the other day. I get a rough idle and it stalls sometimes until it warms up. I get a check engine light on and it idles perfect, when the light goes off it idles rough again at about 500. I have a code reader and got the codes 998 PAUSE 157...

The truck is a 97 Explorer sport with the 4.0 SOHC v6. The engine is completely stock. I bought another truck so this one had been sitting for a couple months, only was driving up and down my road a few times. The last time I got it out it would bog in the 1k-2k rpm range. 2+k range had full...

I am really a complete novice when it comes to vehicles...i try my best, but never really have been very good. anyways I was driving my vehicle and then pulled up to a red light...while idle there at the light the engine started shaking vigorously and then shut off. After pushing it into a...

would a foreign made engine like a Toyota engine or something like that work with my ford explorer

I don't know if this is the right forum to post this in. But I was wondering what engine my explorer has in it. I just bought it it's a 95 XLT engine says 4.0 EFI on it I seen around on the forums ohv1 and sohc I was wondering if i have a completely different motor. or if i had one of those and...

Hi! I have a 2000 Explorer XLS OHC engine which has rattled since I've had it (bought it used). The rattle does not go away with acceleration or continued operation. It sounds similar to a diesel or a valve tap. I hear the noise particularly under the driver's side of the engine. Could it be...

A few days ago I was driving to work in the morning, about a mile from my house I make a left turn after waiting at the red light and during the turn my engine cuts off. The radio continues but I lose steering and have to stop the car, turn it off, then on again. It turned on fine the engine...

I recently bought kabukie's Eaton supercharger off of him for my 2001 Ford Ranger Edge 4.0 SOHC and have had it installed for approximately 3 months. My Ranger had 140,000 miles on it and I understood a rebuild was going to be inevitable going into this. Well, about 500 miles ago it started...

4.0 SOHC Motor (kinda new.. I replaced it myself) Guys, A little history... then the issue. It was a HOT day and I was driving her pretty hard. The coolant had been boiling out (not sure from where), but I would have to refill it with coolant about twice a day. This went on for about...

Alright...so here's the deal. I have a 99 Explorer Sport with the 4.0 OHV with a 5 speed. My wrist pin is bad in my first cyl OR my crank shaft is starting to wear on the bushings with results in a rattling annoying ass noise. And the motor has 119K miles on it already, which would make it...
