Hi All,
I've just bought a 1998 Ford Explorer and I've noticed that when starting from cold (especially this morning 8°C) I cannot put it into gear. On starting, the revs do drop down and you have to put your foot on the accelerator until it stays on tick over then you can engauge gear, took about 4 mins this morning
However after work the past couple of days (17°c outside temp) started fine and could engauge gear straight away.
Has anyone come across this before?
Any info or recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
