Hissing at gas cap seems to be fumes rushing out and there is strong fuel smell just after. I might be able to swap out the solenoid once I remove DPFE, EGR hoses, mounts, etc. The truck has never had a new charcoal canister so, I may swap it first with fingers crossed. Best!! .cd

Thank-you, Everybody! Yes, that is the suspect! After last months major tear-apart to replace failed engine gasket, I can actually see this solenoid a little better than before, BUT it is still up under the ?plenum? and I don't see how I can get my hands on it to disconnect/reconnect its hoses...

Smelling gas too strong lately. This happened back in 2007 when Vapor Canister Vent Solenoid failed. I suspect it has failed again with the exception that this time I hear fumes hissing escape when opening gas cap. I didn't hear the hiss back in 2007. If the solenoid has failed, maybe it...

ANYBODY TRY ONE OF THESE KITS IN PLACE OF A FAILING FACTORY INTAKE?????

Hey All! I'm wondering what this container/canister item is/does and what codes/behavior to expect when it is not fully connected to vacuum lines.?? BIG Thanks! .cd (photo attached)

*A vacuum line smoke test exposed multiple splits and damage in MAF to TB intake tubing. Once the tubing was patched, shifting returned to normal. I'll test drive a few more days before declaring the issue "SOLVED" Thanks again to EVERYONE!!

ISO new/usable intake hose (the one that connects throttle body to MAF box. Ideally, hose+ rubber. I've searched site, ebay, Amazon, etc. etc. Any 2024 sources for these?? THANKS! .cd

Hello All and, as always, thank-you for the support!! I would like to replace the broken connector GOING TO my idle control valve. Is there a popular and reliable source for new connectors for the ICV and other 94 Explorer gadgetry? Way too many of my connectors are broken and brittle. I...

ANOTHER CLUE: first time night driving since the gasket surgery and I noticed another oddity... Upper speedometer dash lights slowly faded out from about the 35 mph to 55 mph area. I had a bump in the road and the lights returned to normal brightness... Guessing I'm dealing with an electrical...

Thank-you, again 410Fortune! If I have any energy left after work today, I will dig deeper into the tube/line mystery!! TY!!

I see rubber vacuum line from the vacuum tree that moves toward the middle of the firewall and attaches to a metal tube that drops straight down toward the ground. ... Might that lead to the modulator (The modulator that my mechanic says I don't have)?

Thank-you, much!!!

Hello, Just had major intake work done to fix coolant leak. Now the auto trans does not go in to highest gear (overdrive). I suspect a vacuum hose or such, but have you got any ideas to get me started? If not, back to the mechanic we go. Best!! .cd

Very Nice all!! BTW anybody else getting 37 pop-up ads when trying to view pix?? Best! cd

TY!!

TY! Is this the speedometer parts down in/on the automatic transmission?? If so, is there any easy way to locate it?? I may attempt to fix my annual "cold weather-only" speedo "bounce"... Have read for years that some ?gear? needs to be cleaned/lubed *somewhere* on/in auto transmission. Best! CD

Hello All Is there an upgrade to the factory center AKA Cyclops brake light assembly or even bulb upgrades, please? Ideally, I would install a drop-in replacement assembly that flashes red before going solid red. ...sort of like what some motorcycles have. Thanks! .daniel

Would like to increase turn signal rate. I know there is an (old style) metal strip "relay" that I can remove/replace under my dash. Would anyone happen to know if these quasi "relays" are sold by speed/duration, etc? Or, maybe if I modify the existing metal strip I can manipulate pulse speed...

any chance someone installed plug wires incorrectly creating a firing order problem?

Not compression but run/rich 2 cents ICYI. Last fall my EX would run rough for just about TWO MINUTES or so when "cold"; drivable but rough and wrong BUT ONLY for about two minutes!! Turns out there was excessive crud in one or (?) two coil "holes". ..crud rotted a plug wire at the coil...

When you unscrew gas cap is there a hiss indicating system pressure???? If not, there is a gizmo under the upper intake that may need attention. It may be called purge solenoid-not sure. Good luck!

Welcome! I'm far from an expert, but my first thought: too much air. I would double check snorkel connection, that one inch hose related to snorkel and listen for vacuum leaks. Best of luck!

Nice! Thank-you! Did you find a cure for the low MPG?? My 94 gets about 15 mpg overall. Any help appreciated!
