Does anyone have any advice as to where to proceed with a 2001 V6 XLT with the following symptoms: -When car sits for extended period of time (ie overnight, or during the day) when I go and start it, it turns over, but seems to hesitate (RPM's around 300 instead of normal 1500) for a second or...

I have an 03 explorer XLT 4.6L V-8. We recently bought it used and it didn't have the owners manual. Can anyone tell me if it has a cabin air filter and if so where is it and do you access it? Thanks, GP

Two weeks ago my Explorer displayed the code that bank 1 oxygen sensor was slow to respond (I forget the code #). I replaced the bank 1 sensor and disconnected the battery which reset the codes and forced the vehicle to relearn. Vehicle ran without throwing any code until I was entering a freeway...

Besides using an FM transmitter, is there a way I can play my Jukebox through the OEM 6 disc (in-dash) stereo in a 2003 EB. This stereo does not have a cassette. Is there an input somewhere on the HU? Thanks!

When I have the front (main) controls on Max AC I actually get the air conditioning, but when I try to use the AC for the back I get nothing but hot air. I mean hot like I have the heater on max when I really have the AC on as cold as it will go. Any suggestions as to how I can correct this would...

Could really use some help from the group with this one. 5.4L engine with P&I heads, 110K miles but well maintained every 3000 with synthetic oil. Loud rattle from the front of the engine. Two Ford dealerships are suggesting front timing chain(s?), however both suggest engine swap. It seems...

My check engine light is on. There is a " knocking"sound coming from the engine. The engine shakes a little. I thought it was the spark plugs, but i disconected one at a time and started the truck. It didnt go away. I think it might be a stuck valve. How can you check for a stuck valve? Someone...

I am hearing that the 2006's will be different from the 2005s... more than a yearly change but less than 2001 to 2002 difference. Any truth in this? I assume it will also apply to Mountaineers. Thanks.

I need a vehicle for occasional trips on rough dirt/gravel roads and dealing with some mud and maybe fording less than a foot of water. I'm not going to be doing any off-road stuff, just dusty washboard/potholes and rocks on rough roads, and trying not to get stuck in soft spots. I won't be putting...

I smell gasoline especially when the A/C is on. I don't see any leaks, "washed off" clean areas, ect under the hood. Is there a common gas leak culprit on the Explorer?? Thanks! dan 1994 4x4 xlt Explorer 245ci

A friend has a 2002 Eddie Bauer that she likes, except for the front seats. They worsen her back problems. Adding a back rest and seat pad have not helped. She is at the point of either replacing the seats, or replacing the car. There are other posts in this newsgroup on the same subject, but I...

I was thinking about purchasing a set of aftermarket outside heated mirrors for my 97 explorer and was wondering if the factory had already put the wires to connect the heater in the space where the original power mirrors are located. Also, I have a broken seat latch, the one that tilts the...

Hi All, Thanks for stopping by my post. I'm having a problem with the heater on my 97 XLT. All controls operate as normal, except for the temperature knob. Regardless of where I turn it I only get HOT air blowing. All fan speeds and airflow positions work just fine, but the air temp is maxed...

Recently the "BRAKE" and the "REAR ABS" warning lights came on and stayed on after brake inspection. Brake shoes are ok. Why is the light still on?

I need some help figuring out what could be the problem of my battery being low. Early this morning my car started with no problem. Then, later in the morning it would not start and the light inside car was dim. I got a jump start and went to work. Then, a few hours later, I tried to leave...
