    CEL with code P0102 and already replaced MAF. Please help

    My 99 explorer 5.0 has CEL P0102 low voltage MAF sensor. I have replaced the sensor, the connector, throttle body sensor, IAC valve, gaskets and checked for vacumm leak although there seems to be a leak i can't find after the MAF sensor. What else can be causing this code? I can't get it smogged...

    93 Explorer can't even complete an engine test without stalling.

    Last time that I ran the codes on my explorer i got a new code 412 (iac causing it to idle to low). So I used some Gumout to try and clean out the iac control valve. When I started it up after that, it seemed to start even stronger than it did before. But when I started to drive it. I got like...

My 2007 4L xlt explorer has an issue- when it comes down to idle speed it revs back up and repeats this again and again, even when moving and foot off the gas, it'll rev back up to 2000 before...

    2002 Explorer idles high when slowing down

    Hey, I have a 2002 Explorer 4.6L and I recently changed the IAC valve because when the car was cold it would not stay on. Changing the IAC did fix the issue of it not staying on when it was cold but now I find it pulls hard as I slow down to stop and once I am about to stop the rpm's drop and it...

    Throttle body cleaning messed up Expo

    2004 Ford Explorer V6 4.0. So, I was cleaning the throttle body with the car running using carb/choke cleaner.

    1994 explorer IAC vs the 1995 explorer IAC

    So guys, my IAC recently hit the bucket, you can only clean them but so many times till they finally fail on you. At the junk yard i picked up a IAC from another 95 explorer. I also picked up one from a 1994 explorer because they have the same exact wire harness connector and bolt up the same...

    Engine issues when idling and in neutral - possible vacuum leak

    Last summer I purchased a 1996 4.0 L V6 Ford Explorer with a manual transmission and 135,000. Aside from a small oil leak from the valve covers I had repaired, I had no problems until the alaskan winter set in. After the temps dipped down into the single digits, I noticed startup become a lot...

    4.0L-OHV Throttle Body / Intake Plenum Interchange - Need Quick Answer

    I have a '93 Ranger. My throttle has developed a nasty habit of sticking halfway open!:eek: No, cleaning it won't help. I've tried. I believe the return spring is worn, and/or the shaft bushings are bad. My question is what other year throttle bodies will bolt right on? The BBK TB is listed...

    2001 Explorer, idle/oil pressure correlation?

    Hello, I have a question about the possibility of a link between a bad IAC valve and a loss of oil pressure at idle? The specifics are, truck has been running great. Only major thing so far has been fixing the rear timing chain. Truck has 180K miles on it with regular maintenance. For...

    Smoke test for Vacuum Leak

    Hey guys..I'm getting the infamous right/left bank running lean on my 2000 Explorer. So I ran a smoke test to see if there was a vacuum leak. The upper intake manifold is def leaking in one spot so I guess I'm replacing the gasket for that for sure. I also saw smoke coming out of the "knob"...

    IAC Moose call/Vacuum Cleaner fix

    Hi guys, I've read up on alot of the IAC issues people have had in the past here. I know most ppl recommend replacing them. However, they cost about $800 pesos($75 dollars) here in Mexico. So finding a way to make it work again is not a bad thing. At least I feel it may buy you some time. I...

    Bad IAC Valve?

    I got my Explorer a couple of years ago and I have had no problems so far except for a humming noise that I can hear under the hood, mostly while idling.
