I had a rough idle in my 2003 Explorer. One of my best friends, who is a certified Ford mechanic, pulled the codes and insisted that it had a cracked intake manifold. After checking the video, I located the rubber elbow and sure enough.. It was the exact same split. Since it was a Sunday and I am 2 hrs from a parts store... I cut a piece of washing machine hose and Voila!!!! Fixed!!! I then disconnected the battery for 15mins and the Check Engine light reset itself. Thank you very much.. All is good again!!!!

Well, You saved my ass again! 4 years ago I followed the 4 part video of timing chains in my 1998 Explorer 4.0 SOHC motor and its still going strong. Now I went back to your videos because I had the P0171 & P0174 codes. Been working on it for a week. Tried the relearn strategy, Still ran up and down. Watched your video and sure as shit that was the problem. Changed out the hose, Test drove it and no more racing engine or dying at a light. It was so bad that sometimes coming to a stop light the tranny would bang so hard. And yes I did do something stupid, I changed the IAC motor thinking that was the problem. Your the best!! Subscribed to you for 4+ years now!

Here is one on this problem that no one that I have watched covered. I had rough idle a PO171 code and stalling when put in gear, I check every sensor looked high and low for a vac leak watched over a dozen video and could not find my problem. everything checked out as good final we figure it out a clogged fuel filter was not allowing enough fuel to get to the engine a long day of pulling out our hair ended with the very simple and cheap fix of a new fuel filter. The one important lesson I learned was start with the basics and branch out from there.

Took my time taking everything apart and cleaning/ inspecting. Waited for about 4 hours for the RTV to cure, then ran the engine to operating temp, found no leaks. Went for test drive and double checked the valve cover for leaks. Wonder how much a mechanic would charge me for this job! Excellent job on your video!

Thank you very much for this info. I have a similar setup on my 2002 Ford Ranger XLT 4.0L. One design I don't like is how the PCV has to be mounted to at port at the end of the Left Valve Cover. A Mechanic had cracked that PCV mounting port off the valve cover and it cost me plenty to have that valve cover replaced. So, for me that PCV can be very costly to changeout, if I have to change the valve cover too. I changed lots of PCV valve, but I don't want to change this one.

Assume! Nailed it! My 03 Ranger XLT suddenly started running rough, nearly dying while idling and unable to rev over 2000 will accelerating. Seemed like it was running out of gas; it was not. Then started running better after. No check engine lite and no codes. Change fuel filter, checked fuel pump related fuses and relay. Everything OK. Just drive it. Now, two weeks later, it throws two codes: P0171 and P0174, right and left banks lean. The Chilton manual is pretty much useless for this so did a google search for Ranger P0174 P0171. Bingo! The first hit was not quite right so checking the other hits lead me to your video. Great video and thanks for the tips.

Hey Brian, I am most likey off topic here, but I'd like to know how to get a good front end alignment, repair/replace child door locks and headlight alignment. was given 2000 explorer XLT. You could say a rolling dumpster, it was and still is in need of a lot of TLC. Yesterday the engine ran erratically, and died when wife drove to work. She thought it may have been overheated. She added 50/50 mix antifreeze and it appears to be ok. However, after viewing video, I will check that tomorrow. I am unable to drive, and apprehensively must ride in it to Dr.office. It seems squirrly on the road, one slight overcorrection scares me a bit, much like a willis army jeep. Is this because of the wheelbase being short or incorrect tire size? All 4 are the same, just smaller. Thanks for videos, and your time/expertise.

Encountered this exact same problem on my cousin's C5 Corvette. Very similar design, and it collapsed in the same way. Idle was hunting and rough, stalling occasionally. Was hard to find because the intake tube opening is pretty close to the throttle body on those and it masked the sound. Replaced the broken elbow with a scrap length of fuel line I had in the shop as a temporary fix. That was about a year ago. Still running fine that way.

From what I understand there is a job1 and 2 for these engines. And I cannot find this hose on my engine, I do see the plastic hose that goes to the rear of the valve cover, but no rubber hose on the front of the engine. Do you have any idea's for my engine? It runs ok, but sometimes when you put it into gear it will actually die, and start back up again after restarting the engine. I am getting horrible mpg at only 13 mpg, and have been for almost a year. This thing is driving me nuts. I have cleaned everything you can think of, and you could eat off of my engine. I am crazy about maintaining my vehicles so any oil leaks are fixed as soon as found. But this vacuum leak has been evading me. Any help would be greatly appreciated, one last thing the truck is not throwing any codes and never has. Thanks again.

I just did a top end job on my '99 Explorer 4.0L SOHC (heads replaced, every gasket and o-ring, timing cassettes, tensioners, chains and sprockets, etc.) and now my brake booster is leaking vacuum. It's running rough at idle, but no codes. Whenever I disconnect the line running to the booster and put my finger over it, the engine continues to run rough. I did have 90 psi compression on #1 cylinder, but I believe it was a stuck ring. Compression is now around 150+, so I know it isn't that. I haven't checked the PCV yet, so I'm going to give that a shot next. Any tips on what else can be causing that?

Hey! Good evening. I have a 2002 explorer 4.0 with a new engine with no more than 4K miles on it and my rear timing chain has a bit of a noise, I’m wondering if I can get away with replacing that external tensioner. Not sure why my new engine would have any noises at such low miles.

Could this also cause a cylinder misfire code to pop up as well dealing with 2004 Ford explorer v6 as we speak. Codes P0174 and P0175

Hey I have a 1999 ford explorer 4.0 / 2 wheel drive the oil gage started bouncing around today and 30 min later it started a knocking noise I changed the sensor already and it's still doing it.. The knocking makes me think it's the oil pump can you tell me your thoughts on this and if you think it's the oil pump what's the easiest way to change the oil pump??? Thanks in advance

Aaron Stoner if it started knocking then an oil pressure test is in order if it its low you need to look at the oil pump drive under the cam synchronizer first then go after the oil pump. How is the oil level?

For some reason on Amazon it says that part won't fit my vehicles? Is there anything different about the 02 explorer sport 2 door? It literally has the same engine as yours lol I don't see what Amazon is talking about 4.0 V6 sohc?

It seems the arm has been botched yes, all wipers clip into the arms no nuts or bolts required. I would change the arms out and some new blades and you will be all set with the correct arms and tension so you have good clearing of the windshield for the upcoming fall rainy season and winter snow.

I have a 04 explorer with a 4.0 v6. Service engine soon codes are "p0171 bank 1 system too lean" and "p0174 bank 2 system too lean". I already replaced the two upstream O2 sensors and still have the codes. The motor idles fine and does not appear to be running rough at all. Before I got these two codes i did have an egr valve code and replaced the egr valve. That code has not come back since. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I have a, 07 explorer, 4X4, 4.0L with just over 80,000 miles, that runs rough idle and dies after I have driven her for a while gotten her up to running temperature and shut her off, resting for 2 - 30 minutes and then try to restart her. I have changed my throttle body, MAF, intake manifold gaskets, (caused they leaked) and still have the same issue. Codes come up with a p1000, but that is no big deal, and had a B1676 error pop up, but I do not know if that has anything to do with the engine running rough, I have no idea. The only thing I can think of after this is spark and fuel. According to my scanner my fuel is now with in normal range, which leaves spark. I was thinking about changing out my ignition system, Spark plug wires and spark plugs. What do you think.
