Hey everyone, sorry I'm really new to this forum, so forgive me if there is a post up already that I may have missed. I have a 96 Ford explorer 4.0 engine that I have been having some trouble with lately. So I noticed the Explorer was rough idling, saw my check engine light that had already been...
Hi, everyone. I'm new here. I've got a 2011 V6, Ford explorer that has being giving me issues since last week.
I bought the car used from a cousin of mine. Car was driven down to my destination working perfectly, only some few weeks after, to start here some knocking sound from the engine...
Hello all, my 2007 Explorer XLT 4.0 has developed an issue where the vehicle will intermittently stall. When this happens, the check engine light flashes and the oil pressure light comes on. Usually, it will start right back up but sometimes it will only crank. When it only cranks, if I wait a...
Hello all,
Explorer is at 82000 miles and have had no accidents.
I am currently in a pickle. I am having an issue with my explorer stalling in dangerous spots. I will be driving in the morning, and typically in intermittent stop and go traffic, after about 25 min of driving, my car will start...
Hey guys, so my father in law has been having bad luck recently where his truck is symptomatic of the notorious rough idle/stalling issues. Being that it is such a typical event he took it to an indy shop for diagnosing and fixing.
At the shop they changed the intake manifold with a new one and...
Perhaps the timing of this is coincidental, but, a day after having its oil changed at a local quick lube place, our Explorer stalled while we were parking and displayed an oil pressure warning. I'm pretty sure that the warning was a result of the stall (the sensor detecting no pressure when the...
Last saturday my 01 explorer sport died at a busy intersection and would not for the life of me start or even crank over. So first off Im a girl, a BIG girl at that so regardless of that point I slowly(haha) pushed my car out of the intersection to the side of the road. Tried to crank it again...
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...
Hi. I have a 2008 Ford Explorer that just recently started to stall on me while driving. I replaced the fuel rail pressure sensor, fuel pump, fuel pump module, cleaned the maf sensor, throttle body with tps and idle control. When in park it runs great but once you put it in gear the fuel...

I have a 99 Explorer with 160k on it. (V6, 4L)
About 8 months ago it started to rev hard starting up, jumping to about 3 to 4 RPM. Which was concerning, then slowly it started to rev up when I had my foot on the break at stop lights, fast food, traffic. That slowly turned into revving up and...
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...
Sorry for the long post, please be patient....
Brand new, less than 200 miles on it when this problem started. Noticed at first when driving through the parking lot on day one. Seemed like a trans shifting problem, switching between gears. This is not the same as the problem others have...
Hello everyone,
Just here to get an idea from the forum members if they have faced similar problem like me or not.. if yes then how did you deal with it.
I have 2006 Ford Explorer, around 2 weeks back I started my car and put it in Drive but the car didn't move and acted as in Neutral.. even...
I have a 94 Explorer with 4.0 ohv non egr 5 speed standard I rebuilt a year ago. Every sensor is bran new. A month ago I started experiencing difficult starts and high idles. When the truck is cold I can start it and it will take at least 45 seconds of the engine trying to stall before it...

I don't know what I'd do without Explorerforum.com... you all are so great. I want to give the community an update on the biggest problem I've had recently with my 92 Explorer Sport I bought a month ago. I want to make this as easy to read as possible, so try to bare with me. Thank you...
When we start it up in the mornings it idles rough and constantly stalls until we can get it running. After which the RPM starts bouncing between low and high. When we slow down to a stop it gets really rough and threatens to stall until we give it gas. Our issue is similar to the one in this...
Hi all-
My '02 explorer has decided to stall at stops. Not always but seems to do it more frequently as is the engine is warmer. It has also flashed the warning lights while driving highway speed, the lights that show when the key is engaged but the vehicle is not started. I feel a slight...
Hello everybody! Quick introduction I suppose. My name is Zen, I picked up a '95 Ford Explorer Sport with a 5 speed manual transmission. I'm in a bit of a love/hate relationship with it until I can figure out whats going on. I've had this truck now for just over a year, and it's been a...
I have a 2005 Eddie Bauer 4.0 V6. I bought it back in January and it drove fine all through Winter and now that it has warmed up it is giving me a big issue.
After driving down the road for 5-10 minutes the car will start to act like it is no longer getting gas and will sputter to a stop...
Hi all, new to the forums here.
I have owned my 1995 Ford Explorer since 2008 and I'd like to keep it, yet I'm having some problems that need serious attention and mechanics can't seem to figure out what it is. Perhaps you can!
It has 200k+ miles (Odometer stopped working at 137k before I...
Situation:
My explorer starts up, warms up, I drive it down the street and it starts stalling on me sporadically. Sometimes it will die and I pull it over (it is consistently starting right back up afterwards), and sometimes it will stall and keep running but act like its trying to die for a...
