I have a '96 with a 5L V8 XLT two wheel drive. I've been getting some intermittent check engine lights with codes of P0133 & P0153. The check engine light seems to come on when the temperature changes (from above 76degrees to below 70degrees). Sometimes the check engine light will go out after...

Am wondering if there is a way to determine if the rear springs on my '96 (106k miles) are sagging, or if it's just my imagination? It seems to ride rougher than in the past, and I seem to get more people flashing headlights as if my high-beams were on. Is even worse with two people riding in back...

Hi, Ford UK dont want to know Explorers. So I'll ask the people who are sure to know. 97 Explorer 4liter. 125,000 miles. Just ordered a prelube kit from California. Stop it from self destruct.

When I start my 98 and allow it to come to running temp (~1/3 full scale on temp guage), when i turn my heater fan on with temp set to hot the temp guage drops to "C". Any suggestions as what the problem might be? My first guess is the coolant temp sensor. Thanks, VJC

when this started happening i noticed that the cold idle would go to 1500 rpm, then take it's time to come down to normal, then when warm it still goes to 1500 rpm then comes down to normal rpm a little quicker, at the same time the transmission shifts normal, but between 45 and 55 mph the trans...

rpm goes to 1500 on cold srart then takes it's time coming down to 650, even when engine is warm, then when auto trans is in high gear it will keep shifting back and fourth from overdrive to 3rd, at 45to 55 miles per hour. any help would be apreciated, thanks.

Hi, I have a 1996 Ford Explorer witha 5.0L V8. I had a bad drive unit, it had a bushing that was sqeeking. I have pulled it and now need to install the new one. How do i time it? Thanks, Autoreman

94 Ford Explorer requires me to let off the gas when starting out. When tach indicates 4k to 5k I have to momentaraly let off the pedal to shift to 2nd. I changed the modulator and fluid but the trans still sticks (fluid was not burned before change).
