So heading home from work today I got a check engine light and pulled into the local auto parts store and had it ran. Code was P0303 which is cylinder 3 misfire. Already had plugs and wires ordered for routine maitanence but won’t be here until the 10th. Issue is I need it to drive to work each...

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...

I stuck this post here as I think I am out of the realm of the “Stock” portion of this forum: I’ve got the build listed on my website (MidwestNomads) and over on Pirate 4x4 if you want the full on details of the build. In a nutshell, the motor is the only part that hasn’t been touched...

So, I'm a Ford guy, and got my hands on a 2004 Explorer Sport Trac. Put on some bells and whistles, including 2 seperate sets of lights. I originally tapped into fuse #25(cluster and 4x4), which I am now severely regretting, as it has caused a parasitic drain I must hunt down. Once the...

My 4.6 XLT 2003 has codes p0306 and a p0316. I have put on a new dorman intake manifold, new motorcraft plugs, new cop boots. I have moved the cops and fuel injectors around but the misfire stays in cylinder 6. Pulled all plugs and all look good. Compression for 1-4 is 190psi, 5-8 170psi. I...

About two months ago my check engine light came on on my '05 st (165,000 miles) and I got the codes pulled and it was for misfires. Put it in the shop, had all the plugs and wires replaced, as well as new coils, and ran premium gas and fuel treatment in it for a few weeks. Ran fine for about a...

Have a 96 Explorer with a 5.0 It has codes P0446, P0133, P0141, P0307, P0174, 588-back bank2, 538-front bank 2, 673-back bank 1 and 374-front bank-1. O2 sensors were replaced last week and everything was running fine. Yesterday, a fuse blew and was fixed this AM it drove fine for about a 45...

I'm driving a 2007 Eddie Bauer with 414,000 miles on it. It has been a company car with regular maintenance and mostly interstate use. It's really in great shape for the miles. So it started missing really badly and I went and got the code checked at o'riellys. Cylinder 8 misfire and both...

Been trying to get to the bottom of a bank 1 misfire. Actual codes are for cylinders 1, 2, 3, and random misfire. All happening at different times. Car seems to run fine until 45-50 mph and trying to accelerate, maybe somewhat of a lumpy idle, and/or odd lumpy acceleration. Doesn't feel as...

I take care of my Explorer religiously, because I need it to last me another few years at least. I have a 2003 Eddie Bauer AWD 4.6L V8 with 169,5XX miles. Anyways, I left for Kansas City this weekend but prior to my departure, I had a low gas tank, and when I say low, I mean about 1.5 gallons...

2003 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition 4.6L V8 4x4. The stalling issue is most common at stop signs, when the vehicle is in drive and idling at operating temperature. It has occurred in park while cold, however. I immediately thought IACV since Fords have that issue, and it was shuddering a...

When it's below below freezing outside my explorer has trouble starting and initial rough idle. When I scan for trouble codes I get P0302 which is a misfire on cylinder 2 and a P0316 which is engine misfire detected on startup. Once it's been running for about 30 seconds to a minute the rough...

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...

Let me start by saying, I'm a diesel mechanic and know my way around Powerstrokes, this 4.0 is not what I would usually work on, but I have a friend who has 2006 explorer 4.0L SOHC, someone told him he needed a motor with out explanation why, so I didnt want to see him get ripped off. The...

My 2002 explorer has a terrible rough idle and clanking sound. After its running a minute or 2 the RPM's level out just under 1000 but the clanking sound is still there. I'm getting lean codes p0171 and p0174 as well as misfire codes in all 6 cylinders. I've checked for vacuum leaks with carb...

A few months ago my Explorer started hesitating at 45-50 mph. Below or above that it cruised fine. I took it to F last month to get it checked out when it seemed to get worse (hesitating more at lower speeds, especially uphill). They said it was the transmission. I took it to my transmission...

Engine code p0306 keeps coming back. I have replaced: spark plugs, spark plug wires, ignition coil pack, fuel injectors, and crankshaft position sensor. Each time I replaced something I disconnect the battery and when I reconnect the battery the engine code is cleared and it stays off for about...

Hello. My fathers 1997 Ford Explorer 5.0L has been misfiring on cylender 2. Hes replaced all plugs, wires, and the coil pack that runs cylender 2, treated gas with water and fuel injector cleaner. Its missi g in idle and occasionally pops when giving gas. Any good advice would be valued!

Hello, I'm new to this forum. Today I bought a 2002 explorer with 142,000 miles. I have a youngreat family and I plan to use the Explorer to pull a 6×12 enclosed trailer 2500 miles across the country to relocate. When I got the Explorer the engine light came up with a cylinder 4 misfire. Now...

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...

Stock 1998 Explorer 2 door support; check engine light came and stated on. Went to two shops to read but all were pending codes not explaining this horrible misfire. Starts & runs w/a bit of a shake, while driving there is a "jerking" hesitation throughout the acceleration range. :us: No shop...

Hi I have a 2000 v8 ford explorer that started misfireing when it is first started. When trying to accelerate there is now a lot of shaking and loss of power. I bought the explorer a few weeks back. It had misfires in four of cylinders then. After I changed all the sparkplugs and fixed two of...

My explorer has had really bad gas mileage lately and has rough starts on and off along with rumbling at idle. I have had it in a shop for the last couple days having diagnostics run on it and they told me they think, but don't know for sure, that it is a bad cylinder. Cylinders 1 and 5 have low...
