manifold

98 Explorer with 5.0 V8 Two of my exhaust studs are broken off, one on both far sides of the manifold. I've been driving it like this for about a week. The parts I ordered to fix this won't arrive til next weekend. Will I risk damaging anything by continuing to drive it another week? I'm not...

Hey All, I've got a '96 Ford Explorer 4.0L SOHC. I went to replace my fuel injectors and the small plastic ending from one of them went down into the intake manifold. So I've decided to remove it, the valve covers, and the heads while I'm at it since I have some coolant coming out of the...

I've recently retired from work, so I've decided to take a road trip of a lifetime from NY to Alaska...with a 20 yo 315k car. It's impeccably maintained, so I had no worries about doing so, but only recently started hearing the putt-putt-putt of an exhaust manifold leak. It's not normally...

I have an exhaust manifold leak on one of my 2000 5.0 Explorers. I am nearly certain that the leak is coming from the exhaust manifold gasket. I really don't want to take the manifold off and risk breaking bolts or studs trying to get it apart. I've had enough trouble with bolts that are...

I am working on my 2005 Ford Explorer XLT to change the fuel pressure and temperature sensor which is under the upper half of the intake manifold. Based on what I have discovered, there are 8 total T30 Torx head bolts securing the upper half of the intake manifold. I managed to get off 6 of...

2004 v6 4.0 SOHC (EBauer Trim). Searching for consistent info on what the torque specs for the upper intake manifold eight bolts are. The CD guide that I have has conflicting info, as the bolts shown are the Isolator bolts (9S479), but not the long threaded end bolts that are used to hold the...

I just finished digging down to put in new intake manifold gasket and replace some cracked vacuum hoses. Fire it up and will not run. I found that I have left a vacuum line open but have no clue what goes to it. Really don't want to yank this intake again! Does anybody have a good...

So I was fixing this... and I noticed this... how would I even go about fixing this?

Hello world, I just recently went through changing all the spark plugs and wires in my 2000 Ford Explorer 5.0. One week later I'm leaving work and 2 minutes down the road the truck bogs down and shuts off. Takes me 20 minutes to get started again after multiple attempts. Finally got started and...

Hello everyone I have a 98 SOHC V6 in the UK and it is running very rough on cold start ups. I've replaced the PCV valve and the idle air control valve which did make a difference, albeit for the engine to rev quite high every time it's started hot or cold. Is there any suggestions on what I...

I have a '94 Navajo w/ stock 4.0L V6. I have a serious coolant leak that I suspect is coming from the lower intake manifold and hopefully not a corroded or cracked one. The vehicle was dry until I filled up the radiator so there is no extra pressure on the system and you can see where the water...

Hey there! First off, let me start by saying that I am so proud of where ExplorerForum has come! The website looks great, and the community is bigger, better, and more active than ever! Let's begin... For a long time now, I have had an oil leak. I would put 2 quarts of 5W-30 in, and about 3...

I am going to start the process of detailing my engine bay. I am making a cover that bolts on to the inner fenders and goes around the back to cover the bulk of the wires and unsightly component. I will also be adding some chrome accessories. I was wondering if there was a compatible aluminum...

Hey guys.. I 've been sayin that I had a small exhaust leak it, it sounded more like a "flutter" cause the compression was finding this "leak".no one else could hear it &Thought I was nuts,had to go outta town last week for 2-days, 502 miles one way.About 150 into it, I found out I now have...

hi guys im trying to buy a manifold intake from ebay... not sure which one.. nedd to supply info to the seller seller : Do you electric PCV or Heated PCV valve.If your vehicle have a regular Vacuum hose going to the PCV valve .615-175X is the correct super auto manifold kit for your vehicle.

I have a 2001 Sport Trac Job 1 (June 2000) with SOHC 4.0. I have 0171, 0174, 0301, and 0302 codes. I had a smoke test done and confirmed there is a leak in the upper intake manifold gasket. What is the best replacement gasket? I see gaskets from Fel-Pro (MS90890), Magnum (MS18037), and...

Hey forum new member here. I'm a 22 yr old from TX. I just bought my first Ford today. A 2007 Ford Explorer with the V6 80,000 miles. After the 20 mile drive home I noticed some dripping under the car. I began prodding around the engine closer and saw a puddle dead center of the intake...

Hey everyone, I already did a search and read a couple posts regarding this issue. Just wanted to get a quick answer as why this happened. The side plastic from the intake manifold cracked. The hole is about 3" x 1.5". Wondering why this happened and would this show some kind of...

I have a 1998 Explorer with a recently rebuilt motor 4.0 SOHC V6 (intake manifold was not replaced) 2 wheel drive that about 75% of the time sucks air so hard from the line (small 3/8" or 1/2" id hose) that goes from the air filter housing hose (large 3" id duct style hose that's preformed) to...

Hows everyone doing? So I've been looking into either making or buying headers. It looks like a cheap set of headers is about 250, I can make a set for approx 120-150... so its cheaper to make. Assuming I dont mess anytihng up :p. The other thing is I like to build stuff and well this falls...

I just removed my cylinder heads off my 96 v6 explorer. Needlees to say either I rounded and had to cut some bolts, from the exhaust manifold to the cylinder head. They were different sizes and I am not able to find a set what will fit. Does anyone have the type and lengths of bolts need to...

Which Exhaust manifold or header can I buy for my 5.0 L that will be an improvement over the stock ones and won't break my wallet? First, thanks so much to you guys that post AWESOME threads about fixing and improving your Explorers. (Yes I do search and read old threads to find answers...

hello guys....i have a 2000 mountaineer with 59k miles.... i changed my spark plugs this weekend and noticed that one of my wires (passenger side front) was dirty on the outside closest to the plug. after changing my plugs, i checked my manifold bolts (all rusty) and realized that one manifold...

on a 1996 XLT 4.0(x) OHV ...something is leaking onto the exhaust manifold causing it to smoke from under the hood on the rear driver side. i cannot tell if it is oil or antifreeze nor can i see where its leaking from. it seems like it coming right up from under the last spark plug...

So I'm about to change the drivers side exhaust manifold, but I need to know can I do the whole job through the engine bay and wheel well? I know the bolts should come right out because I had my mechanic check the gasket a couple weeks ago. But can I do the job by just working in the wheel well...

My 2000 4.0 OHV has a leak in the EGR Valve Tube, it has been welded once, so repair is probably not a good option. I had a garage look at it, they are recommending replacing the LH Manifold, the tube, the EGR Valve, because everything is so fused together. One manifold stud is broken, they fear...

Hello all. I'ce seen quite a few posts concerning the air intake manifold on the 4.6 v8. Through my research in this forum, I decided that I needed a gasket change rather than a whole new intake. However after changing the gaskets, I still have a leak coming from the same area. Directly under...

hey everyone, im looking for a 3" (70mm) throttle body for my first gen explorer. im lined up to possibly get my intake ported but im gonna need the bigger throttle body. Does anyone have a throttle body that will bolt up to the Ford 4.0L OHV that is 70mm and will sell it reasonablly priced...

Is there a difference between the SOHC and OHV headers? I have a 98 explorer 4.0 OHV. It seems like when I find a place that has them online it specifies SOHC or it just say 4.0 kit. In addition, ranger headers? same difference, will they fit on an explorer?

OK, so I'm gonna sound like a total n00b on this one, but I bought a set of manifold gauges at Advance a little more than a week ago since I noticed my A/C system's performance left something to be desired. Turned out I needed refrigerant. So I decide to add the refrigerant and attach the tap...
