1992 Ford Explorer XLT 4wd 4.0L (California vehicle) runs good for about 15 minutes, then suddenly starts 'chugging,' loses power, and check engine light comes on. After sitting overnight, it will again run good for about 15 minutes, then repeats the problem. This problem began AFTER smog...

Took my 1992 Ford Explorer XLT (4-door, auto 4WD, auto tran, 4.0 V6) for smog test (California) and it failed. It seemed to run fine, and indeed everything passed EXCEPT "NO (PPM)" -- Max 699, measured 2342! So, it's a "GROSS POLLUTER." (I now suspect this was caused by an unoticed missing 8"...

Hey all, I've had my ABS light on for several years now and am getting quite fed up with it. The light turns on during the initial self test when starting the truck, and turns off once the truck is on. However, it turns back on when moving. Long story short, the light is off, but once I...

97 4wd explorer 4.0 sohc v6 after digging around with the search shovel, I couldn't quite find exactly what I need to know. the main thing is I don't have and codes for the issue. so here's the poop: Flashing Od light halfway from Orlando to Daytona (doing bout 60-80 mph for about 25-30...

My 2007 Explorer is having a problem with its tire pressure monitor system. I had aftermarket chrome wheels put on my Explorer years ago, and it has been awhile but I believe at the time the tire pressure monitors were transferred from my factory wheels to the chrome wheels - was this possible...

Ok my wife's car is a 08 ford explorer with the v6 and 86,000 miles or so. It's started to have a hard shift going to 3rd gear, I took it to mechanic he hooked it up to a computer and noticed the VSS showed low current he then tested it to make sure the sensor was getting current which is was he...

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...

I was wondering if the volume of the backup seneor on my 2002 Ford Explorer Limited could be increased. Sometimes I can't hear it, especially with the radio, a/c, and outisde noise. I read somewhere that a dealership could do it, but i don't wantto pay big $$$ for such a little adjustment...

No replies. No post. Edit.

Hi all, Here's a unique issue on my '97 5.0, at least as far as I could find.... Been having problems with air in my brakes which I finally fixed by replacing the master cylinder. Unfortunately, while getting to the bottom of that issue, I had several incidents of having to slam my brakes...

so im having some real trouble figuereing whats wrong with my explorer. during a koeo test i get a code 22. but during the koer test i get the codes 12, 13, 21, 32, 64, i used to get a 66 but i replaced my MAF so i no longer get that code. i have also replaced the O2 sensor. when i start her up...

I recently was told my brakes needed to be replaced, and shortly after a grinding started in the front when I would press the brake pedal. I drove like this for maybe two days, and then my ABS light came on, and the 4x4 light blinks off and on. I put on new pads and rotors all the way around...

I seem to have an odd problem with my 97 limited. the bottom bracket on my front driver side arc sensor has broken off so the sensor swings freely. I just got it in November and its rusted through so i know its been like this to combat the height difference the previous owner cranked up the...

Hi guys, Im a newbie here, but so far seems great. I have a question I dont see an answer to. Maybe I'm just having trouble finding my way around here efficiently. Anyways here goes: I have a 96 Explorer 4x4 with really high mileage. Just bought it cheeep. It has the 4.0L v6. It...

Can I swap a 1997 transmission for a 1996 transmission? Both Explorers are 4WD. The 1997 transmission appears to have sensor connectors on it that I do not see on the 1996. Is there a way to adapt the 1997 for a 1996 application or will the swap result in shifting problems?

Newbie - so be gentle - been following this site since I acquired my truck, back in November - looks great, full of wise heads. Few niggles already solved, but one 'major' one is doing my head in, so I need to fix! On start-up , speedo needle moves gently (~1sec) from zero up to 52mph, then...

2000 Ford Explorer; 110,000 miles; 4405-15 Transfer Case. During the last snow, I was driving the Explorer and put it in 4wd high and low just to run it. Also ran it in "auto" on slippery road. Ever since, with the switch in auto, the vehicle seems stuck in 4wd (noises and binds during...

Hello, I have a 2004 ford explorer 4.0. My car will not currently pass inspection because mky engine light won't turn off. I took it to a mechanic who replaced the fuel filter, but the light came back on. I took it to autozone who told me that since my fuel pressure is normal that it is...

1996 Ford Explorer 2 Door, 2WD with switch for 4WD high/low 4.0L engine I have had a long term issue with this explorer that I need to mention prior to bringing up the current issues. This is that the check engine light has been on for awhile, and it throws a code indicating a bad oxygen...

Okay so I'm new here but I reference this forum a lot as a guest. Thought I would sign up and ask this particular question. I'm going to be very detailed in hopes that I provide enough information so excuse me if this post is a little lengthy. =) Thank you in advance for anyone who can assist me...

(this is over a period of about 6-8 months) To keep a long story short, my 93exp started running like crap and went from 20+ mpg to 14. just changed the plugs and wires 2 months prior. I thought it was a plugged cat so I cut the bottoms out of them and took the stuff out, then welded the...

Okay i have been really frustrated by this. I have searched for a descent answer but now have come to this. How do you remove and then attach the wires from the passenger side upstream o2 sensor on this engine? I can see it, but for the life of me cannot get anywhere near it to disconnect it...

I was changing my fuel pump and when I dropped the tank down I disconnected the 2 fuel lines to the pump and the other line going to this white plastic spout. Now the the electric that goes to the fuel pump tees off and goes to this other black plastic piece(im guessing a sensor). so i tried to...

:roll: 1998 Ford Explorer, 130K + miles: The vehicle was showing an intermittent CEL for the past 7-8 years. For the past couple of emission test cycles, I would go over to AutoZone and have them reset the codes on the OBD so I could go through the test. This year it didn't work. I used a...

I have a 2000 4.0sohc 182xxx miles when its cold it idles at 2500rpm then drops under 500 and stalls. It feels like its mising and runs like poop untill it gets up to temp then it idles fine. I think it might be dirty sensors? I bought a can of crc maf cleaner and cleaned the maf what other...

I am ordering new motorcraft o2 sensors anyways, but my local Mechanic (here in Mexico) said it's a very common practice to dip the tip into some muriatic acid (which is commonly sold in hardware stores here to unclog drains). This supposedly cleans them and restores their functionality. I'm...

HI based on these codes, I'm replacing all 3 of my O2 sensors (just in case), and my egr valve and DPFE. I need the part numbers for my Oxygen Sensors. Can anyone lend me a hand with those? Are all 3 the same part? or 2 upstream and 1 downstream sensor?

Ok, so over the past month or so, my cars ability to start has been slowly deteriorating :( to the point where it wont even start.... Got the code pulled and it came up with p0340 Camshaft postion sensor a bank 1 circuit malfunction Looked it up at autozone, found the part, and decided it was...

What would cause my 94 Explorer to throw OBD2 codes: P0172, P0176, and P0332? What do they all have in common? Just changed the alternator. Someone told me it could be the fuel pump or the ignition switch, but IDK. Symptoms: Sometimes has a rough idle with fluxuating voltage and will shut...

Hi, my truck recently just died while it was idling but stared back up. It is running very bad idles up and down, when i rev rpms up to any level and try to just hold it there it stays there for a bit then starts to bog down and cut out, if I pump the pedal it will rev back up but if I let it go...

hey guys, well i bought an after market water temp gauge and i cant seem to find a place to install the sensor. i found my stock location but i dont want to just disconnect the original one. is there another place where i can install another temperature sensor? thanks, Tyler

i Cannot find where this thing is under the hood. can someone help point me the right direction?? -Thanks

I've been hearing the CPS chirping noise in my 95 Ex for a few months now, and I have a few questions about it. 1. What is the chirping noise coming from? Is it from inside the little sensor itself, or does it have to do with the camshaft synchronizer? Basically, which one do I *need* to...

I have an 06, 4.6L less than 18,000 miles on it. Was stored in a garage. Bought it used with a known problem with the ABS/traction control. The ABS, traction control and power train lamps all come on once the car get above 30 or so MPH. They may go back off and come back on at random...
