Hello fellow Explorers!
Without embarassment, I have some silly questions about our cars.. and here in Brazil almost doesn´t exist more to compare.. I count on you to get these answers hehe
So, no more delays, let´s begin!
1 - In a 1993/4 4.0 explorer, what is the expected idle ? 750? 600? 900?
2 - At first start, is normal it revs up to 1500 and slowly stall until 800?
3 - If you stomp gas pedal , quickly to 3500, it should back to idle imediately or get slow decrease from 1500 to idle?
4 - is possible to find dowloadable repair documents (haynes, etc) to our Explorer? i only find phisical books, no problem with that, but always overseas... so expensive to send it here. I already have some haynes books, but to my other cars.. this one I even find here in Brazil.
5 - Anyone knows about installing a shock absorber into steering system, to help avoid the death wobble? Like used in motorcycles and off-road cars..
6 - Not all Explorers come with alarm/anti theft system, right? Mine don´t have, and I will (further) install one, more to do a lock doors/windows outside..
7 - What is the usual drink you guys have at happy hour? Here we use to have very cold beer.. and specially a "Chopp" , idk what is called in english, ithink is draft. But is a beer also, but no conservants, and extracted directly at the tap / faucet . (come on, today is friday.. and here in Brazil is summer yet haha)
Eventually more silly questions will appear, and when it comes, I´ll update this post/thread.
Thank you all and cheers!
Edit #1 - already remembered more one:
8 - I count 4 radiators in my Xplo. One is for engine, one to A/C, one to tranny (in front of all) and one tiny bitsy ipsy , near front bumper at passenger side, clote to the others. Who is this tiny one? what is cooling into?
