Engine & Transmission Fluid by
MACJAC
OOPS!
I put Auto. Transmission Fluid (1 qt.) by mistake in my engine.
I drained all the oid from the drain pan and then added 4 qt.'s of Motor
Oil BEFORE starting it, though.
Should the engine be o.k. or should I take it in and have the oil changed
at a lube place?

Are Tensioners redesigned from Ford? by
Jeff
The Chain tensioner on my 97 SOHC motor protrudes from the head about 2
inches. The factory catalogs make them look like they mount flush to the
motor? Can someone enlighten me?
Thanks!

What's the black cylinder on the OHC V6? by
Jeff
Facing the motor, back left coming out of the cylinder head. You can't see
it very well except from under the car. It appears to be leaking oil.
It has a hex pattern at the base for a wrench, but what is it?
Thanks!

I posted this question some time back, and got little response. I
posted it on another Explorer board, and the only response I got was
"GEM module" with no other explanation. So I took it to my favorite

The motor starts but dies if you do not hold the gas petal down. This
has happened twice in about 5 weeks. I can get the car to start and
run normal if I start the car and hold down the petal so the engine is
running 1500 to 2000 RPM. After a moment of running the engine above
idle the engine will...

Thank you to this newsgroup! I rarely post (better to listen than to
speak about nothing) but read it all of the time and contribute when I can.

jglvsinit
Fuel pump will work if you tap on fuel tank with rubber mallet or
2x4.Switching relays out will help at time for no start.
Anyone know if you have to drop the tank on an EB or is there an access
panel under the back seat/cargo area?

I noticed that my '03 Mountaineer V8 is almost ready for it's 45,000 mile
oil change (I change every 5000). I also noticed that it's down a
quart...never did that before. No leaking either. Is this a potential
problem, or just normal aging?
