Ok, so one of the guys that works at the place next door came over because he saw my Explorer in the parking lot. He's having a hard time trying to figure this out.
He recently replaced his upper intake after cracking it (with a new stock one) when trying to tighten down the coil pack bracket. He had the fuel rail off also. There are no fuel leaks though. (I don't know why he took it off)
Afterwards, when the truck runs, it seems to accelerate just fine if you're under, say, 75% throttle. Seems to be normal zip. IF you floor it, it kicks down the trans, the RPM's hit the kickdown level, and the truck doesn't accelerate, totally bogged down. If you back off the throttle a little, it shifts back down and goes. From where I drove it, it doesn't have a problem going highway speeds or anything, it's just that it only seems to have access to "most" of the throttle.
Checked the accel cable, kickdown cable, both are fine. Butterfly is open at full throttle. Everything is plugged in. He said that when he put the vac lines back on, he used a tree (red/green/white) from a '97 Ex, everything fit except that he had to pull the '97 rubber end that pushes onto the intake and put the one from the 2001 on there because the '97 wouldn't fit the intake tube. The FPR and EGR are hooked up to vacuum. When I had the scanner hooked to it, the throttle position was showing high enough that it should go. It seems more like it's bogged, not getting either fuel or air.
Anyone have thoughts?
