Greetings. I just became a proud owner of a 2007 Sport Trac, and am loving it. I am still figuring out a lot of its bells and whistles, but it appears to have an after market remote start (the FOB does not have "FORD" on it, or any other brand name). The lock/unlock functions work on it, as...

Hi, I've read a few threads, but cannot find anything that matches my problem. My explorer (4.0) starts great the first time of the day or after sitting for a while. But I cannot run a 20 minute errand and expect it to start again. It cranks, almost catches, or catches and idles at 200-400 and...

When I leave my truck over night and crank it in the morning (especially when it's cold), the RPM's are half normal and the truck shakes as if it's going to stall. The lights will flicker and the exhaust smells lean. After 5-10 second the idle will stabilize or I can manually fix the idle...
