- 1998 Explorer 4X4 SOHC
Oh man,
I'm having a rough day and I have a feeling my explorer is toast. I have a 98 ford explorer, SOHC, and I am doing my usually maint. I was going to use seafoam through the brake booster, which I have done several times before, and then change the oil, wires, and plugs. Well, the ENTIRE can was sucked out instead of half and it happened so quick I couldn't even tell the weight change in the can. I let my car sit for several minutes, and when I went to start it, it tried to turn over for second, made a loud noise, maybe backfire, and then shut off. I tried to start it, and nothing, it just clicks loudly one time. So, I took all the plugs out and disconnect the wires and tried to start the explorer, and nothing. Guys, I'm really overwhelmed right now and I'm pretty sure I f***ed up big time. This is my primary means of transportation and I've had this vehicle for ever. I've used this forum several times in the past to redo the front end, brakes, everything. This is my baby lol. Anyways, I'm going to be in my driveway cleaning up my tools. If anyone has any advice or tell me how to manually turn the crank shaft, that would be great. My phone number is seven 7 two, 828, 668 nine. If someone can call me, I would appreciate it. My name is Ed.
