fuel

Hello, I own a 2013 Ford Explorer XLT Flex Fuel and I am having a problem when I start the vehicle. It always starts, however, it does not start like when it was new. It sometimes starts right away but sometimes it will putter for about two to three seconds and then it starts. Usually it...

Hi. I have a 2008 Ford Explorer that just recently started to stall on me while driving. I replaced the fuel rail pressure sensor, fuel pump, fuel pump module, cleaned the maf sensor, throttle body with tps and idle control. When in park it runs great but once you put it in gear the fuel...

this morning my truck made this rattle noise when I accelerate. It does it when i'm in park and I rev it to a certain point as well. I tried to do some research on it. And I saw something about switching gas. I originally always used the normal 87. Then someone told me to use 89. They said it...

2005 Ford Explorer XLT. 4.0 V6 198,000mi Every so often my explorer has a strange running issue. 2/3 of the time i experience this issue It starts, then dies within 5-30 seconds. (usually when reversing out of my driveway) the other 1/3 it won't start at all but has the same symptoms as after...

The car: 2005 2WD 4.0 automatic with about 110K miles on it. The symptoms: Check Engine light comes back on within 20-40 miles of being reset P0193 code (fuel pressure sensor high) Poor gas millage, around 12 MPG (was about 18 MPG a year ago) Occasionally runs slightly rough, mainly at idle We...

Hello, I just finished replacing my heads and manifolds with headers. Got it all back together went to start it and it started right up. Wouldnt idle but thats nothing new (Probably bad IAC). Normally it will idle after a minute or so of holding the gas to about 1K rms. It did eventually idle...

Hey guys, first off... I'm not stranger to these forums, but the only difference now is, I'm now a member. I've been directing friends here for a while that own Fords, and I personally, always wanted to own one and now I do. I'm no mechanic by far, I'm just learning, and I must say...even...

so a while ago i would say a month ago my 1999 sohc sport started misfiring when cold and would run right after warming up. got a code for ignition coil malfuntion c. i replaced the wires and plugs last year so i just replaced the coil pack. it ran right for the last month until a few days ago...

Morning folks!, New guy here, but long time lurker. Anyhow, my 05 Eddie 2WD V6 4.0L has been having some issues with stalling at idle, rough idle, and jerking coming from the rear at highway speeds. All this is intermittent, but consistent. First time I stalled out I started back up no...

I've got an unusual setup. I obtained a 1949 Chevy Panel truck that sits on a 1998 Ford Explorer Chassis. It did run (or so I was told) but I can only get it to fire if I put fuel into the intake manifold. So far, I've checked the relays, fuses, changed the crankshaft sensor, fuel pump...

Evening everyone, I have a 2001 Ford Sport Trac 4.0 SOHC that has a bad fuel injector on cylinder two. Has been misfiring so I checked the resistance, other injectors have sixteen, number two has nothing. I have been looking and havn't found any good information on how to change the injectors...

Hi all, We just did a job on our 4.0 sohc 2003 explorer xlt. We replaced the driver side valve cover/gasket. In order to do so we had to remove the intake manifold, as well as many electrical, vacuum connectors, etc. We got the job done and everything put back together, but the car...

Hello there! I have a 98 explorer xlt with the 4.0 sohc vin E. The fuel pressure regulator and steel braided hose are a complete unit. The dealership wanted over $600 when it was still in production. The original part has been discontinued and I've been unsuccesful in locating a replacement...

Happy new year everybody! I have an issue with high fuel consumption. Currently it is winter time with temperatures about -10C to -16C/14F to 3F, and I am seeing about 28l/100km, 8 - 8.5mpg. I don't do a lot of idling for engine warming, but the trips are usually short, 7-8km, or about...

Hi all, for the past year or so I've been wrestling with my "check fuel cap" light. I've replaced the fuel cap around 3-4 times which fixed it for about a month each but the light still returns after then. It's driving me nuts because I hate seeing warning lights on my dash. Please let me...

Hi, On occasion, fairly frequently, maybe 2 or 3 times a week, I'll be turning left from a stop (in an intersection) and suddenly lose power briefly. It can be quite scary if there is oncoming traffic down the road! I'm sure it only happens when turning left. It feels as though I am running...

I have a 2005 Eddie Bauer 4.0 V6. I bought it back in January and it drove fine all through Winter and now that it has warmed up it is giving me a big issue. After driving down the road for 5-10 minutes the car will start to act like it is no longer getting gas and will sputter to a stop...

Hello all! To start out, my 2002 XLT's fuel gauge had not worked for years. And occasionally it would have some trouble starting. It would try to turn over but would not start until after about three tries. But that was rare. So I changed the fuel pump and sending unit. My gas gauge...

Hello, My '13 Ex Ltd (37k miles) recently developed an interesting problem. After refueling the vehicle, it is difficult to get it to start. After pushing the start button, the engine will crank for about 8-10 seconds before finally starting, and the Check Engine light is on. Between...

Hello, My 1992 Eddie Bauer Explorer has just begun to stumble when I am trying to start it, but only when it has sat for a few hours. I tested the fuel pressure: with the ignition on (and the fuel pump running) the fuel pressure is 10PSI. When I get it running (after one or perhaps two...

..1992 Explorer...when passing on the freeway or just wot to get on the freeway, she bucks / stumbles quite suddenly at almost exactly 4000 rpm....then picks back up as the revs drop just 1-2 x....i can get over 4000 but I have to wot PAST 4000 to avoid the buck.... Fuel pressure was tested...

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what size of disconnect tool I need for the output side of the fuel filter. I cannot seem to find the info anywhere else and I cannot seem to get the connector to come loose, even when I push the fuel line towards the filter. I am using a 5/16 size, but my...

It seems like my 98 Explorer is "eating" fuel pumps. The pump has now been changed four times while I have owned it. How is this possible? Kan it be something else that is really the problem?

I have a 2007 Sport Trac with a 4.6L V8. Currently have oversized tires (185/60/18)(nitto dune grappler) I am currently getting about 13MPG city How can I increase this? Maybe a chip? Thanks!!!

1992 Ford Explorer, XLT manual tranny, 4 L 3.73 gears stock etc etc New to posting, but I've Lurked here for a while, I've searched everywhere and I just can't figure this out. What's Wrong This problem only occurs when it is hot outside, and generally if not always after the engine is still...

I noticed at the beginning of the week that my garage smelled like gas. I had my husband look under my Explorer and discovered that it was leaking fuel on the passenger side under the back door. It is currently at the dealership and they have "ordered a part" that seems to be on backorder. I...

Bought my new 2013 Ford Explorer Limited in January 2013. I know the car is not broken in but every since I've received it, no matter how it was driven it gave me 14.2 mpg. Now it is April 2013 and I am starting to smell fuel leaking somewhere. I've taken it to the local ford dealership and...

My 1999 Explorer runs rough at idle when could. The mechanic that looked at the problem thought the fuel pump was the problem. He tested the pump and it only gave around 13-15 psi when running at idle, and he ment it was supposed to give around 30psi. He changed the pump, and it did not help at...

So for the past couple of months, I have been having issues with my fuel gauge not working properly and then my check engine light coming on. Upon researching, it looks like this is a very common problem. Well I went to start my truck Sunday and it would not fire up. It acted just like if the...

What kind of fuel do you use in your rig? After Hurricane Sandy hit NY, I was forced to use Premium 92 Octane Gas for a few weeks because that was all that was available to me. I noticed NO difference in performance and mileage during that time. My truck seems to run well on BP 87 Octane. Does...

Have 2002 Explorer. Twice this month, it would not start, it would turn over, but not start. Then suddenly started. Yesterday, drove to store, no problems, and when I came out, it would not start. It acts like it wants to start, but wont kick in. I can hear the fuel pump and the safety...

Hi All, Thanks for all the great info that you have put together on this site, hopefully I will become knowledgable enough to contribute in future. Truck has run great for the two years that I have had it, have replaced a lot of suspension parts, and front wheel hubs (roads are murderous)...

I have been having a helluva time with my 91 Explorer Sport (2 Door, Manual). Last Thursday it died at the store, got it restarted and it went about 100 yards before it acted like it was out of gas and died. After realizing that the fuel pump was not engaging I replaced the Fuel Pump, Fuel...

I have a 1996 4wd explorer with a 4.0. Everything is stock including the tire/wheel size. The truck only has 108k miles on it. Over the last few months my fuel mileage has gotten worse and worse. I'm barely getting 10 mpg now. The plugs and wires are about 8 months old and I've changed the oil...

Fuel pump is out, less than a year old. I'm going to replace it but I would like to know which are the best for performance and durability. Airtex? Carter? ????? Thank You for the guidance, the one I have is under warranty but who wants to risk it for what the cost vs work it is to replace it...

I have a 2000 Explorer, 2 door (sport, but not sport trac?), 4WD, 6 cylinder, SOHC, automatic. I've had it for 2 years. My truck is using more fuel than it used to and I'd like to know what factors can cause that before taking it into a shop for diagnosis. I live in Toronto and only have...

Changing the fuel pump in a few, and wondering how to go about relieving the fuel pressure. I have a 99' Explorer Eddie Bauer 4.0 SOHC. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks :)

Hi everyone, 1999 Explorer Eddie Bauer 4.0L SOHC 134k miles I've been having fuel pump issues of late, but it does not appear to be the fuel pump itself, as the problem is intermittant. It will occasionally turn over but not start (fuel pump silent), but it when it does, it runs...
