I've been reading the posts and I think I have a fuel pump issue, but I wanted to run it by the experts here :) Recently I have been having a problem starting the car. It will crank but not start. I wait a few seconds and it starts right up. Sometimes it takes a little longer than other...

I had noticed the truck running a little rougher and hesitating when accelerating from a stop, but I just attributed it to the hot weather and age of the truck. Well, last week I got a CEL and plugged in my handy code reader. When P0171 and P0174 showed up, I immediately went to the engine and...

Just wanted some input from the group before I tear into my truck this weekend. Toward the end of last summer I noticed there was no coolant in the reservoir. Filled it to the line, and continued driving. The only difference I began to notice was that the truck wasn't warming up as fast as...

Just wanted to take a quick survey of how many miles people have racked up in their STs. Ive got a 2002 and just passed 135k. No major maintenance

Just wanted to see if anybody has seen this on their ST. My dad has a regular 2002 explorer, and this happened on his car, but the systems are pretty much the same right??? On Friday night, after having rolled the drivers side window down, it would not roll back up. I tried ALL the...

There is a strange noise when I turn my car off. It has been off and on for the past few weeks, but now as the temperature has been cooling, it does it every time I shut the car off. Has anybody had this issue in the past? It happens right when I turn the engine to off, its almost like a...

I did the seafoam project today! Relatively easy process, nothing out of this world but I am happy with the results. I have a 5 speed so I am very sensitive to the acceleration response of the car and it does feel smoother now when going from a dead stop. The idle has improved as well...

Ok, my DPFE sensor crapped out on me AGAIN :fire: (P1401 & P0401). This is the 3rd one that has failed. The one that came with the trac from the factory lasted about 6 years, the 2nd one last a little over a year, and this last one a little over a year as well. When the 2nd one failed, I also...

Driving home last week I passed by an ARCO that had gas for about 25 cents less per gallon than the normal QT I go to. So to save 5 bucks I filled up there. About 2 days later, the check engine light came on. I had planned to go to autozone to have it read this coming weekend, figuring it was...

Im looking for some stock wheels to purchase around Arizona. I only need 2 (hit a curb, bent both right side rims) I may be able to travel to pick them up if in a major city that US Airways flies into. I believe the OEM rims are 16x7.

I had been living with a vibration for the past few months and finaly decided to do something about it with my return from uncle sam. Changed the front rotors and brakes (they were warped and old) and, since they were going to be out anyway, I changed the bearings in the front. I FINALLY...

Taking Rodger's advice I changed the tranny (manual) fluid to Royal Purple this afternoon. While I had the truck on jacks I was going to change the differential fluid, or leastwise try to. :unsure: I tried taking that damn filler bolt out of the differential for almost TWO HOURS...

Hey Guys, I got my oil changed today and bought some transmission fluid to flush mine out. I asked the parts guy at the dealer and he told me it was Mercon V and needed about 3 quarts. Well I found a copy of the owners manual, and for the 4 speed tranny (ST is 5 though) it says to use...

Well last week I had P0401 show up again. It showed up last year, I changed the DPFE sensor and it went away. I tested the vacuum and the voltage to the system and it all looked good. I figured it had to be the EGR valve this time since the DPFE sensor is still pretty young. Changed the EGR...

Well I got the check engine light on the way to work. Got it read at auto zone and got this. I got it once last year and changed the DPFE sensor and it went away. (thanks to the guidance from all of you fine folks) So im wondering have any of you changed that DPFE sensor and had it go bad after...

I just wanted to post how much of a difference changing out my fuel filter made in my truck's performance. When the dealer wanted 70 bucks to change it I decided to do it myself. Once I figured out how to get it off, clean up the spilled gas, and wash my hair and arms multiple times to get the...

Hey Everyone, Have any of you noticed a vibration sound coming from the speedo/tach area? I only notice it when I am coasting, once I gas it the sound goes away. Nothing major, just kind of annoying :(

I'm proud of my baby:D

I'm about to kit 90k and I just realized that I have yet to replace the brakes on the ST. I take it to the dealer for its oil changes, and when the tech talks to me he always tells me the brakes are fine. I can actually see him measuring them and he says they're still within limits. Is it normal...

Hey guys, The ST is the only manual tranny car I have ever owned so I can't compare this with any other car. Summer is really kickin into gear here in Phoenix, and the AC in the truck has to be run almost as soon as you start it. My question is, have you ever noticed that shifting...
