- 1994 2 door Explorer 4x4
it is so called affectionatly, so please no one get mad, lol, i am Chevy girl normally after all, but i do love my new Explorer.
Its a 94 2 door sport 4x4.
im trying to figure a few things out, (dont know much but i love learning and fixing my own stuff so bear with me if some of this seems silly).
my temp gauge doesnt work, i am assuming...either the sensor is bad, or it appears as if someone has had the dash apart before..maybe they forgot to plug it back in? all the other gauges seem to work fine, lights etc in the dash too. but figured i would ask before tearing my dash apart.
also, when i first start it, it idles very high, then finally drops, it does the same thing when going into drive or reverse, but it goes and seems fine, ive been told this is common, and even RPM flares, inconsitencies with gear changing etc, is common, and not a real tranny problem, but more of an annoyance, have been told it will keep running forever like that. but the high idle thingy kinda seems like an unrelated to the gear changing...maybe a vaccum leak?
ive noticed(only a few times) what seems to be a CV axelegoing bad, clicking popping sound, when turning sharply, but after having looked at the truck and all over the net, im pretty sure it doesnt have CV axles? am i right?, so what would this noise be? Cause it sounds very much identical to a CV axle starting to go bad.
ok thanks, thats all that is popping into my head at the moment, i appreciate any tips (yes i have a repair manual on order )
