The 4 wheel, 4 wheel low lights are blinking 6 times every 2 minutes. The front axle is engaging on turns. This problem resurfaced after 6 months. I had posted here about it, the problem stopped after I cleaned the brake dust from the front wheels. That did not work this time! Question, how many...

Hi this is my first post. I have a 1997 Ford Explorer.4wd. It has been running really rough. 4 liter 6 Cylinder.4wd. I am expecting an IAC Valve issue. I was think that the belt might also be causing the problem. I purchased a belt from a store, and with cursing and swearing. I got it on right.

I have a 1997 Explorer 4.0L it will start and stay running as long as there is pressure on the accelerator pedal. I just drove it down the road, it runs fine but will die if I take my foot off of the pedal. This just started today. Any Ideas what the problem is? Thanks Stan

To all, The center brake light is not working on my 97 explorer. The price for a new one is $250. This is an LED unit so it shouldn't have burned out. Besides being expensive I have to drill out some rivets to remove it. Any other known issues besides the light itself. ....Larry

A couple of months ago I posted that I was getting P171 and 174 lean on bank 1 and 2 fault codes. Some of you suggested cleaning or replacing the MAF sensor if nothing else obvious was wrong. Cleaning it using CRC Lectramotive cleaner did the trick. Runs fine and codes are gone. Thanks all for...
