- 94 Explorer, 4.0, PushRod
I drug home my first Ford ever for $350.00, 94 Explorer, 4.0 push-rod engine. I was told it wouldn't start. I charged the battery, turned the key and it started but with a serious engine miss. Now, a year later, finally got around to it. New battery, removed spark plugs, cyl 2 wet & smells like gas, all others look OK. Compression test, all cyls 135-140. Plug wires Ohm out OK. 1 freeze plug on each side of block missing, installed new. filled with water, let run to operating temp. Still misses. Has CEL but don't know anything about fords. Revving engine in park seems very sluggish. Found thread for CEL with wire, will check this later. What is best engine analyzer for this? Don't want to spend too much money just yet. Eagerly awaiting all responses.
Here are a couple links I found for the trouble codes. On the first link, at the bottom of the page there is a link button "Diagnostic Trouble Codes" which will actually take you to the second link.

I will be using this information to help trouble shoot my new 94 Explorer project.
OK Explorer Experts Here are the trouble codes in my X project; 327, 327, 1, 172, 327, 543. The internet link mentioned above say that the first codes are an "On Demand or Hard code" separated by the "1" and then the "Continuous Memory Codes". Don't know yet what the difference is. The first code, which appears in both sets, is 327, PFE sensor circuit voltage below self-test minimum. What is the PFE sensor? Next is 172, HEGO sensor circuit indicates lean. What is the HEGO sensor? And lastly, 543, Fuel pump circuit open, battery to EEC processor. I'm not sure about the last one for the fuelpump circuit being open because it starts and runs.
Need your comments!
