Yep....95 96 same...

/\ Yep, squealing cam sychronzer....semi common........and 5.0 easy replacement on this unlike the 4.0 ohv, and I see the 2001 second gen they did a better job routing the brake lines, earlier versions they are close to the UCA on drivers side and make that job a headache removing / installing...

Could be fuel pump going out....do fuel pressure test. No CEL ?

QUITE possibly a dirty MAF sensor....and the fact that you have this setup >>> Custom cold air intake system ....makes the MAF prone to prematurely getting dirty etc.... do a few sprays on the DELICATE MAF element with MAF or electronic cleaner spray and test.

Did the cold start and it struggled. Stalled at first. chugged on second start and eventually got itself together and idled. Just some more spitballing, but sounds like possible minor vacuum leak that once the engine/area is slightly warmed up / expanded, the leak is then temporarily sealed...

Is fuse #10 fried on inside fuse box ?

/\ I thought it was suppose to flash while cranking if there was an issue....guess that's just related to anti-theft related mechanisms......too lazy to go out in front and try it out.... sorry Jamie ....

Do fuel pressure test.

You might want to message Pete here, he's had to fiddle around with our 95-96 control-trac system and has tech manual on it... https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/members/pete-deering.352092/

Has it ever done it while accelerating too ? Mine routinely did surging when accelerating from the 20 to 40 MPH range and it turned it to be ONE bad o2 sensor.....NO CODE ! ! .... The way I figured it out was to unplug one at a time and do test drive until symptoms disappeared targeting bad...

You never had the heads off this one correct? As you know could be some significant carbon buildup on piston heads, had this problem with prior Ranger, "steamed cleaned" them by sucking in spaced out "sips" of distilled water through vacuum intake hose.... can get even better results with sea...

How does the oil look on the dipstick....and is level high? How does the exhaust look?...any steam coming out exhaust after warmed up? Wondering about possibly cracked head. Might want to remove plugs and examine, smell for coolant.

I've read a partially clogged fuel filter can trigger about half of those codes....as for the ticking, is it possible it could be a loose heat shield vibrating at idle ? ...or exhaust leak.... JUST occurred to me while typing out this post....the ticking COULD be a compromised plug wire causing...

If you should HAVE to go ...make sure you are well funded!....it's now $5.00 just to walk in and muddle around in the grease and grime. ...and they try to sneak in 30 day "insurance" to your purchase without asking.

/\ Score ....prices at junkyards here in Calif shot way up...that would be like $30 here nowadays. A few years back when they were still very reasonable I got a spare dash bezel for $10 being my external (window suction) GPS for my Jeep kept coming loose and falling down.... so screwed it into...

FYI, smoke coming out the IAC is normal during a smoke test as well as the throttle body plate....but not the TPS, throttle position sensor, did you have the air intake hose off during test?, thus is it possible the smoke you saw near the TPS was just some creeping up from the throttle body...

Bought brand new radiator and the transmission fluid cooling section is NOT fully separated from coolant section ! ! Good thing I caught this before adding coolant and destroying my transmission! Avoid at all costs >>> ECCPP-AUTOPARTS <<...

I don't have a definitive answer for you, but on my fender flares (same early half Explorers 95-97) these clips were used to hold them on, my guess would be Ford used the same / similar clips for the trim piece in between. Being I was removing flares permanently I aggressively "peeled" flares...

Did you go over / paint that lower plastic side cladding ? Looks darker ...maybe just due to shade alone..

Some entertainment for you Sport Trac guys.... in soft on crime L.A. / risk to public the police back off temporarily.... interesting end...civilians apprehend thief.....most be Ford guy ..

One of these would be great to check things out before committing to full cut-out... cell boroscope.....just drill say a 3/8's hole and see if you landed on the right spot / etc .... https://www.amazon.com/Inspection-Waterproof-Borescope-Adjustable-Android/dp/B08X1X82DD/?tag=seriouexplor-20

" I've jumped across terminals with a screwdriver many times in the past, just not on this one." So do it on this one to rule in / out solenoid ....

/\ Thanks, I recall the 90's full size Bronco's cargo shell had a mild textured surface and many truck shells as well...gives it a more off-road look versus just smooth paint on D pillars....IMO ... so I ran with it....and it conceals minor imperfections underneath, don't have to spend time...
