- explorer '93 xlt
Hello. I am new to forums so please be patient. I have been searching this site and have learned quite a bit, but haven't found this problem yet. Stock '93 xlt starts and runs fine until put under a load and starts hesitating or missing. If I let off the accelerator or mash to kick down it runs smooth. I have purchased a fuel pressure gauge, turn the key on to prime the fuel rail and the pressure only reads about 7-10 psi. If I continue to cycle the key it will get to 40 psi but as soon as I turn the key off the pressure drops to zero. If I start the engine it stays at 40 psi shut the engine off and the pressure drops to zero. I think I am getting fuel in the oil. about two months ago I changed plugs and #5 plug was wet with fuel so I changed that injector oil filter and oil. It did help the hesitation some. Do I have another injector leaking, would a bad o-ring on an injector cause fuel in the oil? With the ice this weekend my wife went back to our reliable '92 sport w/five speed, 190k and still going.
