First off, thanks for having this forum. When I had a Chevy Blazer, I was in a similar forum, and it was VERY helpful.
My problem has me and my dealer stumped. The dealer is paying to fix the Check Engine Light that I have on, and the computer codes show it is the O2 sensor, Bank 2.
Replaced it. Drove 8 miles, it came back on. Back to dealer. Checked connections, reset it, drove off. 10 miles. Light back on.
Back to dealer. Replaced a 2nd O2 Sensor, thinking that maybe a fault in that one was making the other send a false signal. Drove off, again, about 8-10 miles, light comes back on. Back to dealer, same code coming up.
A Ford expert said that it may be the Intake Manifold gasket, so my dealer took it in again, replaced not only the gasket, but the Upper Intake Manifold. I made it about 15 miles, and again, the Check Engine Light came on.
My dealer has been most helpful in trying to solve this problem, and at his OWN cost. So any leads as to what may be causing this would be greatly appreciated.
Again, the error is for the O2 sensor, running lean, and it's been tested, and replaced. The intake manifold (the big black thing in the photos in this post here: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1555157) and the gasket, were replaced.
This vehicle has 104k on it, but runs top, no real complaints, other then this particular one. Any tips would be IMMENSELY appreciated!!
The only other issues I have with it are 1) the fog lights don't come on, but the light switch inside says they are on, will look at this when the ground isn't frozen, lol, (I will check the wiring when the weather is warmer so I can crawl underneath), and 2) my backup sensor is whack. When in drive, the backup switch (left of the steering wheel) is on (the OFF light is off), as soon as I put it in reverse, the OFF light comes on. I DO think the vehicle was rear ended, or backed into something, so am assuming this is the reason, and will also wait for warming weather before pulling out the tools to dig around on my own. Once in a great while, if I don't have the radio too loud,
, I sometimes hear a beep from the back somewhere even, lol, but not related to something actually behind the vehicle.
