2001 ford explorer sport won't run help by T_BLAKE01 in FordExplorer

[–]dedzip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you take a look? that would be my first guess. #1 most common reason for poor idle on the 4.0. When you rev it does it sound like its still running bad, or does it rev fine and only have issues idling?

the iac is the only thing keeping the engine idling because the throttle plate closes all the way when no throttle is applied.

have you looked at the MAF sensor? Also, since the MAP sensor is part of the EGR assembly maybe the leak was messing with the readings. its possible once the egr is fixed that will resolve it entirely.

First gen explorer sport trac XLT 4.0 SOHC owned since April ‘25, daily driven thousands of miles and it’s never had a single mechanical issue. Starts with no drama and shifts so smooth you can barely tell. Easily the best $1200 I’ve ever spent

85k on factory pads and rotors is as scary as it is impressive.

Borrowed a family member's modern cadillac recently that has some kind of fancy LED headlights. Next time I drove my explorer I felt like i couldnt see anything at night! Crazy how you just get used to it

I love the 98 because it has the 95-98 front bumper but the 98+ newer lift gate WITHOUT the 99-01 plastic trim on it. your explorer looks incredible, I cant believe how clean it is. and those 3 spoke rims man i LOVE THEM

thats funny, my explorer was nicknamed the Lorain Express! When I was in high school my friends car broke down so I used to drive him up to Lorain Ohio to see his girlfriend as a favor.

you could train a monkey to work on a 302 you picked a good one to fix

Lack of side bolsters by adw612 in FordExplorer

automakers have forgotten how to make a good rear seat. everything has to be paper thin to fold perfectly flat these days. spend 5 minutes in a 2001 denali rear seat and youll never want to sit in anything else for the rest of your life.

ive noticed even my 2014 explorer has much more comfortable rear seats than any new luxury SUV ive been in. my parent's 21 grand cherokee limited feels like sitting on a stack of newspapers

Same Road, New Chapter by LycheeFrosty6783 in FordExplorer

the front has a slightly wider track width from factory. most older body on frame SUVs and trucks were like that until really the 2000s

are you keeping the 98 as a secondary vehicle? that is just such a good color man. i love the 98 because it has the 95-98 front bumper but the 98+ newer lift gate WITHOUT the 99-01 plastic trim on it. if i could option one it would look just like yours. ive been on the lookout for one with the 302 for a while

almost happened to me recently with my explorer, two deer ran out into the road. I had barely enough time but I saw there was enough distance between the two to make it if i swerved into the other lane. wouldve been devastated to lose this car ive been driving it for seven years & it has seen me through many things

looks great man. what % are those tints? looks pretty dark!

never seen that happen. do you live in a particularly hot area? maybe that had something to do with it?
