Our 04 Explorer has a check engine light as of this morning (86K miles). I had it read at Advance, and its "coolant temp lower than expected" Sure enough I notice on the drive home that the temp guage is going up and down between the middle and 1/4 up lines. About a year ago this happened under warranty (72K), and Ford changed the T-Stat, housing and sensor. Well now it looks like the same problem. Temp guage is normal at a stop until you hit the gas a bit, then it drops.
Are the T-Stats really this prone to failure in the 4.0? or did they miss something?
