This one has me stumped. I got a 1992 Ford Explorer 4.0 4x4 and automatic. I replaced my intake manifold gasket (upper and lower) this weekend and when we got everything back together, the engine ran fine, no leaks, sounded good. But when we started it up the temp gauge was way over. Then we...

Can anyone shed light on my issue? 96 Ranger 4L 4x4 auto 93,000 kms Trans rebuilt 6,000 kms ago... i am noticing that when cruising at about 100 km/h (about 60 mph), RPMs are at about 2100, if you let off the gas they drop to like 1600, seems normal, but then if you just coast for a couple...

BlankIve had a 2000 explorer for 9 months and have just tonight noticed a red flashing key in a circle symbol flashing on the dashboard? any ideas??? bet its something gay, that i should already be aware of, and now im going to look like an arse :) Thanks,

Check engine light - sets code: lean burn - bank #2 02 sensor -- only when <-10 degrees clear code and runs fine. Which sensor needs changed?

We just bought a 2004 ford explorer. I don't believe it has the towing package because it has the class II receiver on it. Is it possible to still get the towing package that would have come with the vehicle when it was new. My understanding is you get the 3.73 axel ratio instead of the 3.55 axle...

Vehicle is a '98 V6 SOHC. Want to covert the stock air box to a universal air filter(K&N). The mass air flow sensor has a 3 inch opening. Have seen samples online and they used a 3 inch filter attatched to the sensor. Is there such a way; Can this be done? Or have to use an actual aftermarket air...

Hey all. I have recently bought a 1994 Ford Explorer XLT Limited. The previous owner didn't provide the owner's manual and knew nothing about the existing alarm system. It appears that the alarm system is factory installed and uses a remote which is programmed by, among other things, shorting a...

My '96 Explorer has a tan colored dashboard. While carting some supplies, I managed to get it scuffed in a few places on the air bag panel above the glove box, resulting in what appears to be a greyish vinyl background showing through. There are no gouges to speak of -- it looks like just...

I think I remember a thread last year on front-end alignment which mentioned a company which offered technically advanced alignment which exceeded all others. I have not been able to find such a thread in the archive. Does anyone have such info to relay? Jack

comes back on MIL if the problem wasn't fixed correctly? The guy I took my 96 Explorer 4.0 to said I had cracked hose at the component near the left front headlight (purge solenoid?) so he cut off cracked piece and reattached. It looks like a molded L shaped end piece on the hose and doesn't appear...

I'm having a problem with the power windows not going down on my 92 ford explorer. It wants to move but cant for some reason???

I have a 1998 Ford Explorer. When the engine is idling, the engine area eventually starts to produce a load droning sound, perhaps from a belt. It has seemed to have started up since the weather started getting warmer (central florida). I have had this in the past. I mentioned it to the dealer a...

My girlfriend lost control of the suv and hit a tree almost center of the suv. Bumper of the suv is badly damaged and the hood of the vehicle buckled. she did have her seat belt on , thank god! she has some bruises, but other than that she was ok. probably in shock. The vehicle was assest by a...

My 2001 XLT 4x4 has a slight drip from the front differential cover. I have 2 questions: Is a gasket required or can I use something like RTV or Form-a-Gasket? What's the correct fluid to use in the diff for refilling? Thanks for the help.

Hi I have noticed that my A?C clutch doesnt operate when required I have put a meter across the plug and get no reading - I have check the fuses Is there a relay I should check or is this serious ?? Regards

All, I have a 1999 Explorer 4.0 OHV. Mileage is around 135,000. Had the heads replaced around 120,000. Both heads had a fine crack. This was done about 14 months ago. Fast forward to 3-20-08. While driving the Explorer after it had been sitting for a few hours and engine was cold, the temp...

Has anyone tried to remove the stickers from the visors? If so, what did you try and how did it work out? I am tired of seeing those stickers all over my visors and would like to take them off.

Reading through many posts I have come to the conclusion that this gasket/o ring is bad in my wifes car. When it is cold the car revs up when started and then dies to almost a stall, then revs back up then back to just above a stall. I have cleaned the IAC and that does not seem to make a...

Hi I just bougth a used explorer a few weeks ago 110k on it and this morning the temp control does what it wants. Turns on ok and all the buttons work but it will not shut off. The fan stays on all the time. Can these be reset? Thanks very much. AL Sproule
