    Check Engine Light

    1997 Ford Explorer XLT 5.0 V8 Hi, my check engine light recently came on twice within two days. Both times it was the same code, "EVAP Emissions Control System Leak (Large)". I cleared it the first time but when I drove my truck the next day it coded again with the same. Not sure if it...

    Is it my starter?

    1997 Ford Explorer XLT 5.0 V8 I purchased my truck about 3 months ago. Sometimes it will start just fine, one turn of the key and it's on. Other times I turn the key and hear one hollow knock? (not really a click), sounds like it's under the dash. I will have to turn the key 3 or 4 times...

    Front Driver's Side Window Problem

    I was advised by body shop to use JB KWIK. I did and it seemed to work very well. Alot cheaper than buying a whole new window!

    No not really. The apoxy just let loose and now the window is totally detached from the window regulator. The auto parts store said they have no idea. The auto glass repair shops say nothing that they reattach with will hold. The ford dealer even said I have to replace the entire window...

    Melting Spark Plug Wires

    1997 Ford Explorer XLT 5.0 V8 I had to replace my spark plug wires about 3 months ago. Ever since then I've had a problem with them melting in various spots from touching hot engine. It was difficult to get the wires not to touch due to the tight space this engine compartment gives you to...

    Replacing Window Regulator

    I am having to replace my driver's door window regulator. I have found and ordered the regulator itself, but can't seem to locate where to purchase the two black parts that cradle the window on the regulator. I'm not even sure what the two parts are called, but they need to be replaced also...

    Please Help! Ford Explorer XLT V8 check engine/misfiring

    I double checked the wire connections and found that the wires were reversed at the coil for the 1st and 6th cylinders. The check engine light did not return and it is no longer sputtering. Could that have been causing a misfire on cylinder 3?
