    02 Sport Trac Rear brake line question(s)...

    I have another post on this, but I've made progress and am kinda stymied at this point. Both rear lines and center hose have been replaced so I'm all good there. The one from the front distribution block to the rear is what's giving me pause. Here's the distribution block (not sure what it's...

    Left rear brake line leak

    Just need some advice here. This is an 02 Explorer Sport Trac 4x4, 4.0L. Front disc, rear drum. The left rear flexible brake line goes from the top of the diff over to a bracket at the top of the frame rail. It connects to another solid brake line that is steel or metal of some sort and is...

    Sport Trac Fuel Pump replacement

    This is a continuation of a post I made in the 4.0L forum concerning my 02 Sport Trac. We determined that a no start issue was the result of a faulty fuel pump. I am gearing up to drop the tank and am wondering about how to siphon the fuel - there is a little less than half a tank - about 10...

    Big holiday ahead. Be Safe everyone.

    02 Sport Trac plug ID help please

    Been dealing with a no start issue and have been told by TRS members of note (ronD) that it is the in-tank fuel pump. I haven't gotten into it yet to replace it cuz I have to drop the tank - not looking forward to that at all, but... i have been poking around the engine bay and ran across this...

    Sport Trac not starting

    It's an 02 4.0L auto. Been sitting for about a year. 50/50 test starts with spray, then dies. Was at about a 1/4 tank. Added 5 gallons hoping to negate and bad fuel issues. So where should I look to resolve fuel delivery issues? Thanks in advance R

    F350 trans question

    My son-in-law bought a 2000 F350 at an auction, It has a V8 Triton, 4x4, automatic trans. I had the pleasure of driving it home :(. The shift linkage was for sh*t, detents on the column were barely there: P, R, N, D, 2, 1. Manually going thru the gears, 1 worked solid. Shifting up to 2 it would...

    Recreation fuel

    I know the difference between regular gas and recreational gas and what it is supposed to be used for, but would like your opinions. I have a 72 Ford 5000 tractor. I normally use regular gas. Not sure of the ethanol content. It runs fine or did until last summer. It would start fine and run...

    Soft pedal... next project.

    Been reading through the brake forum and it looks like the first thing I need to do is check the rears to make sure the star wheels are not f-ed up. Tried the reverse stop today four times and nothing changed. Pedal goes to the floor. Pumping doesn't really change anything. I can hear the air...

    Powertrain Control Module -- Part II

    This is the thing that makes it all go. I recently had a bunch of different issues with rough and varying rpm/idle. Truck would lose all power and stall if I pressed too hard on the accelerator as in trying to hit passing gear. I did all the usual things like checking for vacuum leaks, checking...

    Powertrain Control Module

    Not sure this qualifies as "miscellaneous," but I just pulled it to check on its condition thinking it might be the cause of my most recent issues. Surprisingly, it looks really good. But your thoughts are welcome...thanks. I'm going to clean it up a little and replace it Side note on...

    Can a trans vacuum line cause the idle rpm to fluctuate?

    I'm chasing possible vacuum issues and poor running. I've tried with some success pulling the vac lines from vacuum distribution block with the IAC unplugged. When I pull the trans vac line, the rpm does not drop as it should. Pulling all the others results in a drop in rpm. Sitting at idle, the...

    Vacuum Distribution Block

    Does it matter which hose goes where? I get that the Power Brake Booster has to go to the large outlet, but the others are all the same size. Currently mine are connected as shown in the image. This is my old one that I just used to show the current set-up. Yes, I am chasing a vacuum leak :(

    Where is it...????

    I've seen this reference a dozen time but can't find any of them.... In the Powertrain Control Module there are three resistors that can corrode and cause issues. I must be referencing it wrong, but can someone help me find it? Thank you.

    IAC valve not working?

    How do you know? This started with a CEL and codes 172, 176 and 177. I've worked thru that with RonD and those codes are taken care of to the point that I am no longer receiving those codes. I still have the same issue. Starts and runs ok when cold. As it warms the idle get erratic and...

    CEL codes 172, 176, 177

    Got a CEL tonight driving home from dinner out. After about 5 minutes truck lost power. Would not accelerate at all. Pedal to the floor seemed to make it worse. Pulled over let it rest for about 5 minutes. Restarted and it ran ok for about 5 minutes - everything normal. CEL came on again. 5...
