Car Forum / Ford / Ford Explorer / December 2005Here we go again - CEL
Another winter, another CEL. Everytime it gets cold outside my 2000 explorer stumbles and studers when started. After a minute of running the engine idles smoothly. Please don't tell me the IAC needs cleaned or the MAF sensor needs replaced. Been there and done that with no improvement. I've been told there was a problem with intake manifold "O" rings that could cause cold start problems. Anyone know if that is true and if so, what has Ford done to fix the problem. I'm tired of dishing out $200 every winter to replace oxygen sensors so my local Ford dealer can get the CEL to go away. >Another winter, another CEL.

Paul Fix ================================= Yes, there have been concerns with intake gaskets.... Intake manifolds have gone through about three design changes in the late 90s. ... AFAIK. these manifolds are not interchangeable. If you're lookomg for a customer satisfaction program, I haven't seen anything on OASIS.... > Another winter, another CEL.
