Hi all.... some advice please, I have a 98' 4.0 Explorer.. only owned it for about a month.
I notice that there is a slight whine (maybe not the right word, but a noise of sorts) in the first two gears as I accelerate, when it changes into 3rd 4th and 5th its silent, any ideas what this could be?
Also kind of like an earlier question in this forum, when I start if it is very cold the engine races up and down for about 30 to 60 seconds and then settles down, the last owner told me it had always done this, but I am wondering if I can cure it. It never cuts out by the way, and if its not so cold it does not do it at all.... Thanks guys if you have any views.
