    2003 Explorer 4.6L oxygen sensor circuit problems

    I recently picked up this 03 Explorer with the 4.6L in it, the odometer says roughly 198k. I bought it pretty cheap so I've been fixing things and sorting out the bugs. Up until now the fixing has all been mechanical, bearing assy's, upper control arms, latches, hinges, etc. Here's the deal...

    All 4 O2 sensor locations for 3.5L N/A Explorer 2011 - 2019.

    I made a no-frills video showing where all 4 of the oxygen sensors are in the explorer. I had to change a sensor recently (you can probably guess which one is new from the video) and having something like this on the forums would've helped so I just wanted to share this here

    O2 and EGR codes reoccurring

    Hi all, I just completed a engine replacement on my 02 Ford Explorer XLT 4.0. Runs and drives great when cold, but once it warms up a couple different codes pop up. When they appear, the engine stumbles when idling to the point that it kills itself. Occasionally, it will hesitate and stumble...

    2003 explorer 4.6l exhaust leak

    i have an exhaust leak at the manifold, im getting 10-11mpg with regular driving and im getting 3 codes for the EGR, o2 sensor and maf sensor. could my exhaust leak be causing all of this? would cutting off exhaust(after o2 sensors) at least temporarily fix my issues?

    P013a - Downstream o2 sensor

    Hi guys, My check engine light is on and it says I have a problem with the O2 sensor. Does anyone know where the sensor is? Specifically the downstream one. Or any other things to look at? Thanks! P013A O2 Sensor Slow Response - Rich to Lean (Bank 1 Sensor 2)

    98 explorer no voltage from all o2 sensors

    Hello, 1st post here! I have an explorer 4.0 ohv that has 2 codes on it: P0171 and P0174. They are for "system too lean" for banks 1 and 2. When looking at the live data from my obd2 scanner, I see 0 volts and short and long term fuel trims at -100%. I have tried this obd2 scanner on other...

    failed smog, running rich, code 14, electronic control assembly, or o2 sensor?

    So I have a 91 Explorer that just failed smog because it was running rich. about 7 years ago I had the same problem, I changed out several sensors on the truck, and the 1 that finally passed it was the O2 sensor. This time around I ran my scanner on it, KEY ON ENGINE OFF I got a code 14 the...

    P013C Trouble Code?

    Hi All, I have a '15 Explorer XLT 3.5 with a persistent CEL. OBD scanner is throwing code P013C: O2 sensor slow response-rich to lean bank 2 sensor 2. Does this sound like a simple downstream O2 sensor replacement or something else? I see a lot of talk here about other oxygen sensor codes...

    Long story short, I need to replace O2 sensor from rear cylinder bank and the wire connector is located between the engine and firewall. I can barely touch the connector from underneath the car. I can touch it when reaching around the engine, but need two hands to jiggle the connector loose...

    O2 sensor code problems

    Hi, I'm new, and hope to get some advice from your experienced forum folks. My ladie's 2003 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 4.6L was throwing P0135, PP0053, and P0155, so I did the amateur thing and changed both upstream O2 sensors. I cleared the codes with my OBD2 scanner, and after a few cold/hot...

    Rough idle at startup

    Hello, my name is Chris and although I have came here for help with my Explorer for years, I just joined today. Thanks for all the help I've received in the past and will receive in the future. The problem I'm having is rough idle at cold and warm startup. It clears up and runs smooth in less...

    99 EB Bank 1 Bank 2 left or right

    I'm sorry if this is supposed to be an obvious answer but I can't find it. On a 99 EB is bank 1 o2 sensor on the left (drivers side) or the right (passenger side). I'm getting a code indicating downstream sensor on bank 2 is bad and don't know which one it is. This is a new vehicle to me as I...

    Should I buy.

    HI guys! I'm looking at a 99 EB with 168k on it. It's in pretty good shape except for a tear on drivers seat bottom(109 to replace) and the cruise doesn't work(I think I can fix). The CEL is on and code indicates downstream o2 sensor bank 2. I've got to be able to pass Ga emissions so the CEL...

    Weird OBD2 Scan Tool Data

    I would appreciate any feedback on this issue. I have a 1997 4.0 OHV that is throwing P0171 and P0174 codes, and the scan tool data is unusual. Looking at OBD live data, the STFT and LTFT both show -100.0 for bank 1 and 2. Not changing with time or RPM. Also, O2 sensors are registering 0V...

    High fuel consumption, O2 or some other issue

    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...

    O2 sensor replacement (harness access)

    So... I assumed that replacing the O2 sensors in my 93' would be a reasonably simple project. The sensors are exposed and easy to get to on the bottom of the truck, and appear to simply screw in. I haven't taken the old ones out yet, though, because when I went to disconnect the old one...
