I have a 98 ford explorer sport.  When the temp. is warm outside the engine
starts to make a humm.  It sounds like it is comming from the intake.  I
was wondering what other people think it might be.  I think it might be the
intake air flow sensor.  No codes and no lights.

The problem I have is: the factory installed outside air temp gauge does
not work after the front end was repaired from a minor front end collision.
It reads -40 all the time. I am only guessing there is some kind of sensor
on the outside of the vehicle. Maybe not. I appreciate all ...

   Anyone know if the older Explorers can use the E85 fuel, or would they
be damaged? What all would be necessary for a change to be able to use E85?
   With gas at $2.39 a gallon, and E85 at $1.34 a gallon, and tax
incentives for clean air fuels, who wouldn't ask these ...

Is this a dealer thing, or any auto paint shop?
Some assbag scuffed my front bumper on the new 04....  :(
It's only about 2" long, but it scraped the paint off down to the grey.
Guess she's not new anymore.

I have a 1999 Explorer Limited with automatic hvac. The fan sometimes
works but sometimes I need to put fan speed on max to get the fan to
run. I live in Florida so I don't use heat often but i believe it had
the same problem with heat. On occasion it works fine: Start engine, ...

I recently replaced the intake manifold gasket on my 91 Ford Explorer
Sport.  I had to remove all of the vaccuum hoses and many of the sensor
connectors during this process.
Now that it is back together, it does the following:

I live in the Greater Toronto Area, looking at buying my first SUV.
After monitoring used car listings extensively over the last 6 weeks
I've decided that an Explorer, with an outside chance of a Pathfinder,
is my best bet give my $10,000 CAD limit. 4Runners, Xterras and CR-Vs

I checked the fuses already.

was wondering if you all thought that having the engine flushed sounds like
a good idea to see if this will help fix the problem that I have with one
lifter tapping when the engine is cold?

The rear hatch door won't unlock with the remote or manually with the
key. Has anybody experienced this before ??
The dealer wants over $100 up front just to diagnose the problem, and
then who knows how much to fix it, while I pay for their learning curve.

Can anyone provide instuctions for programming the key fob for my 1997
Explorer.
I replaced the batteries in the key fob that hasn't worked for a while.
 The doors do not open.  I remember something about turning the key in

98 xlt
I unscrewed the covers but they wouldn't come off.... do I need to come at
it from the back or just give it a pry?

I have "starting" problem with my 95 Ford Explorer 4x4.
I cannot close or open doors with my remote key. I can open the door with
key and tried to start  i press the button on my remote key, but it wont
work. The red light/key still blinks...

My driver's side seatbelt won't latch anymore, so I thought I'd swap it out
with one from the rear seats, that rarely are used.  Am I getting into no
man's land here?
Also I want to install some of those hi-beam blue headlight bulbs.  How do

I just had my thermostat changed and a new head gasket put on it was doing
fine and today i noticed that there was water dripping from my tail pipe
while the vehicle was running. the oil looks good not milky. Could it be
my head gasket again?
