- 2005 Explorer XLT, 4.6 V8
Hey, Im new to the forum, but I have been having some issues with my X.
Just got her about 3 weeks ago, 4.6 V8 '05. 150kms. I drove down to my hometown (about 1200km roundtrip) and parked for the night, took my parents truck to Detroit, when I returned the next day, and got in it and headed back home, I noticed my mileage went to the ****ter. I can (since then) basically see the needle going down as I drive. I have basically HALVED my mileage.
Some other details if anyone can help, Im getting desperate. As I started on the highway to head home that day my check engine light and gas cap light came on. went to partsource, got her scanned, only returned the fuel cap (which I replaced) and nothing else. had them turn off the light.
Since I have thrown in premium fuel, engine/fuel injector/etc cleaner, and the like, no luck.
basically I can only think from research that its my 02 sensors or spark plugs.
Any suggestions? I am desperate as I said....
Thanks!
