Ford Explorer 92 XLT with a code 629.

Low pressure might be the result of a valve body issue. Your gasket could be leaking in certain areas or the valve body could bind if the bolts are not the correct torque.

Ford Explore 92 XLT with a code 629

Hi,

I used 130 inch pounds on all screws of the valve body and I checked it twice. I did it the same way as last time;: i. e. I started with 80 inch pounds and then increased to 130 inch pounds torque.
I will read the thread recommended and I will get the 0-300 pressure gauge. Once I have done those measurements I would like to contact you again.
Is it enough to place a new thread with the title used up to now?

Lets keep everything in this thread to avoid any confusion. The torque of those bolts should be lower. Check post # 43 in this thread: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2282800&postcount=43. It says 71-98 In/Lbs.

Hi, I was away for 3 weeks. In the meanwhile the pressure gauge arrived. I did read the recommended thread and at the end you were mentioning two PDF files from gearsmagazine. I tried to download them and as someone else already tried the website isn't available anymore. Can you send me these articles, too? My email address is: neuroconcepts@gmail.com

Thanks in advance

Both articles from Gears Magazine were emailed to you.

Ford Explorer 92 XLT with a code 629

Hi,

today I did do the pressure measurements. The pressure reading was 90 - 100 psi in cold idle. It did not change very much once the engine was at operating temperature. In contrast to the last time I did lift the back of the car thus the wheels were free and could turn. The first try by switching to "R" caused the engine to stall. The second try lead to a more positive result. The engine did not stall. The pressure jumped to 150 psi. Increasing the revolutions/min did not result in a change. The pressure reading was stable at 150 psi.
The next try was doing the same with "D". The engine did not stall. The pressure reading dropped to 60 - 70. Increasing the revolutions/min did not lead to a change. The pressure reading was stable.
These tests were done with the rear wheels being free, thus able to turn. As soon as the brake was activated the engine stalled in both instances.
