I have a 92 Explorer.
It was going through plugs every couple months or so was thought. I never saw enough wear on them to suggest they failed, but each time they were replaced the problems went away.
Now I have replaced the plugs, no change truck runs like it i s down a cylinder or two. Changed coil pack/distributor, no change.
I get no CEL, and I know that dont mean much. I need to get codes if any off it. Being disabled makes it difficult to get in and work though so I am slow with it.
asides from the obvious is it possible, or likely the ECU/ECM would have faile din this. It was a very rapid decent into this condidtion this last time. as in I changed plugs and all was well, drove for 3 days, each day was a slight worsening of running condition. parked it and the next morning it acts like it hasnt been maintained in years.
I will be checking and cleaning the TPS, IAC, and MAF, but am concerned about the ECU.
and while on the topic, where the hell is the ECU on this thing?
