    P0171 and P0174 on a Gen2 V8

    The best way I know of to find a vacuum leak is to spray carburetor cleaner (ether) around the vacuum lines you suspect and listen for a change in engine tone... If the vapor from the cleaner is sucked in a leak it will cause the the engine to rev up a little as the highly combustible vapor is...

    Fog lamp pre-wired?

    I know that when i took apart the dash on my 01 job 2 the wires for the fog switch where plumed to the receptacle even though there was no hole through the dash for the switch. In fact that seems to be how most of the wiring harness was... Some of the wires for a 4x4 module where there even...

    V6 vs. V8....'02 ST vs. '00 Eddie Bauer

    The v6 is a very sprightly motor compared to the v8. The V8 dose seem sort of lazy. For example at 80 miles per hour it revs at 2500-2600 rpm in top gear. in third gear it sits at 1300 at 45mph (kinda a sweet speed) most of that I would suppose is due to the really tall gearing of the 4r70w...

    I am Back... (got a new computer)

    >Jerry... You try booting off an install disk. check the boot order in the bios. to do this you need to hit one of the funcion keys when its first turned on. It depends on the manufacture but it is usually F1 or F12. Make sure the Cd drive is before the hard disk on the boot order. It sounds...

    V6 vs. V8....'02 ST vs. '00 Eddie Bauer

    ...I have no numbers but my slightly modded motor seems faster... And I would say the v8 has more modding potential. The stock v8 explorer numbers are not that great though... however from my research you can easily get another 100hp with about 2 grand and some bolt on mods (headers, new heads...

    Front Grinding While Turning Right

    If the abs light comes on then that would be an indication that one the front wheel Bearings have failed. The front wheel bearing races and the abs sensor "tone" ring are part of the same assembly. When my front wheel bearings failed the abs light came on as the bad bearings ate the tone ring...

    Stop Headlights From Flashing When Locking Doors With Remote

    Hmmm.... My 01 only flashes the parking lights when the remote is used. I will try to look it up for you, but there is a wire from the "security module" that is just for flashing the lights. what you would do is simply cut this wire... from then on the lights would never flash even if the panic...

    Govt Employee's and Taxes

    My comments where regarding state and local govt that generally gets most of the flack anyway. I do not know much about the rig-amoral of the Feds other than what the internets and fox new tells me... and we all know that's about as accurate as a blind man with no arms playing darts. -Don D.
