Here's the Issues with the truck as it stands right now, hopefully ya'll will be able to point me in the right direction as this is my first explorer.

Problems:
Fuel Gauge is always E
Idle is Pretty high, around 1500, when it occasionally idles at a lower speed it rough and kinda lope-y, what do i need to clean?


It needs shocks, but how hard is it to change the bushings out on it?

on the agenda

Shocks
Wheel Balance/Alignment
New Plugs/Wires

Welcome to the forum, nice Sport. And even better that's it's a manual. The gas gauge always on E is probably a bad fuel signal sender. You have to drop the gas tank to fix it. There's threads on here to search for about it. The high idle could be a dirty MAF sensor, dirty IAC valve, vacuum leak ect.

whats a good thing to use to clean the MAF and stuffs? Carb Cleaner spray or something else?

 

[briwayjones]

Electrical contact cleaner that leaves no residue. I think there also may be Carb cleaner that doesn't leave any residue that's not much different?
