I haven't driven our explorer for a while now...maybe 2-3 weeks. Tonight (it's raining), I am about to go take it for a drive, and it won't start. Looks like it's about to start, but it doesn't catch. I try it a few times, then try the gas with it. It starts....but then dies when I let go of...

Xpress Lube offers a transmission service that appears to suck the old fluid out and replace it with new. All of this without the usual filter change. Car Talk guys do this. How does it work? What if I stick a tube down the dipstick hole and siphon all I can and then replace the fluid? I...

I've checked about everything I know. The fuse that control the windows also controls the sun roof which works. I've taken the door panel apart looking for loose wires but found none. Thanks

Front doors work fine, back left lock will operate manually, right back lock is stuck down and the door won't open. I'm more concerned about that door, so any suggestions on how to proceed? I'd like to fix it myself if possible, but honestly don't know how they operate so thought I would ask...

Apologies for being off topic but I thought someone may have run into this problem I'm currently having. I paid off my Explorer last February and have yet to receive the lien release or clear title from Chase Bank. I've made numerous phone calls to them over the last 8 months with no luck. Does...

Hi, Guys I've got a 92 Ford Explorer xlt AWD, The Transmissions leaking around the Torque converter, or where the tranny connects to the motor. It goes into reverse no problem, everyonce in awhile it will go into a forward gear. I put a new filter on, and filled it back up, before I realized it was...

Are there any online references to the Service Manual, specifically the fuse box diagram?

My '05 Limited has a crack in the lens of the left tail light. Dealer quoted $108 for part and $35 to install. I found the part at fordpartsonline for $65. Question is how difficult is the installation? Any special tools needed?

I have a 94 explorer and it hesitates when accelerating, especially right after first starting it. I changed plugs, plug wires, fuel pump, air filter, oxygen sensor, and fuel filter. Any other suggestions. Thanks

Have a 2001 sport trac that will not fast idle when its cold. Is this something that can be ajusted manually or is it in the computer? Trys to cut off when cold but runs fine after it warms up.

My daughter's 94 Ford Eplorer has too low an idle speed and stalls cold and when making left turns with the foot off the gas. I was told that the idle air control valve might be bad. I took it off and it looked reasonably clean. Then I removed the solenoid and I could push the valve shaft and see...

A 2004 chrysler pacifica (28k miles, awd) is listed at $20,990 at my local chrysler dealer on Long Island (NY). This looks like a reasonable price (and my online research confirms it is well within standard book values), but is it true that dealers can normally be talked into shaving a few dollars...

Had transmission flush performed Mar 05.....Oct 05 and 17K miles told fluid was black and like sludge and needed it again.....is this reasonable? What's a normal frequency? Tx -- dkdjpd ------------------------------------------------------------------------ View this thread:...

Dipstick....... I was hard pressed to believe it needed a flush in only 17K but it was a quick7 months. This was on top of new front brakes and a wheel bearing it was a tough day. Beyond that...tires...had to decline their offer for new tires....said I had an unusual wear pattern on the righ...

My 2001 explorer radio displayes a digital "call" message. I tried disconnecting the battery but still get the message. Not sure if I need a code to reset. Any advice.

Ford has the worst customer service! I took my new 04 Lariet screw for a oil change and have them look into a noisy ashtray rattle. 5 hours later it was done and to my surprise nothing wrong with the ash tray. I argued with the service manager about it to no avail. Itried to speak to the...

I think I got the Idle Air Control valve problem solved but it seems the idle speed is too low, right at 500 rpm. What is the idle speed supposed to be and where is the screw to increase it. I've looked aronmd but can't see anything obvious. Any tips appreciated. tnx -- 73 Hank WD5JFR

I have a 95 Explorer Eddie Baurer and I have no heat. It has the climate control. I replaced the thermostat and upper radiator hose. I also flushed the heater core. Now the guage just barely moves off the cold position. I am getting heat to the heater core, but it just blows cold air. I also had to...
