you need a tool to disengage the springs inside the coupler, then the lines will pull apart. you can find the tool for around $5.00
On my 1995 with 4.0 L OHV engine , the fuel rail is installed between the lower and upper intake manifold sections
According to my Haynes Ford Explorer repair manual : On the 4.0 liter OHV / pushrod style engine , in order to remove the timing chain cover you have to remove the oil pan which involves removing the engine
great write up with pictures here: http://www.ford-forums.com/ford-explorer/10937-how-replace-thermostat-4-0l-ohv-v6.html
Motorcraft PFS42 ( fuel pump and hanger with sender ) for a 1996 Explorer 4 door with 4.0 L OHV engine ( according to www.motorcraft.com ) ( also used for the 1996 Explorer with 5.0 L V8 )
The 4.0 liter OHV - V6 engine and the 5.0 liter - V8 engines used in a 1996 Ford Explorer XLT use a timing CHAIN
Looking from the front , I believe the fuel pressure regulator on your 4.0 L OHV engine is about 2 inches to the right of your oil fill cap on top of the engine
If it's like my 1995 4.0 L OHV , I believe the schrader valve for checking your fuel pressure can be seen looking from the passenger side of the engine . It is on the fuel rail , which is installed between your lower and upper intake manifold sections , about the center of the fuel rail I concur. This is the same location as on my 1998 4.0L OHV.
The 1992 Ford Explorer is a 4.0 liter OHV engine , in 1999 ( depending on which model and trim you have ) the 4.0 L OHV engine and the 4.0 L - SOHC - engine was used
No , the 4.0 L V6 engine in a 1996 Ford Explorer is an OHV not a SOHC
I'm not a mechanic / technician but as far as I know , the answer would be NO The Ford 4.0 liter OHV engine in the Ford Explorer used ( 3 ) different engine blocks ( 1991 to 1994 ) ( 1995 and 1996 ) ( 1997 to 2000 )
OHV is ( Over Head Valve ) that's a pushrod design engine ( my 1995 Ford Explorer has the 4.0 liter EFI , V6 engine which is the OHV engine , the 8th " character " of the VIN is an "X" SOHC is the Single Over Head Cam engine ( in the case of a Ford Explorer with the 4.0 liter SOHC , V6 engine . There is ( 1 ) camshaft on the top of each of the two cylinder heads ( VIN " E " , if it isn't a flex fuel engine )
- fuel pump inertia switch " tripped " ( do you see a fuel reset light turned on in your gauge cluster ? ) - blown fuse for fuel pump / fuel pump relay - bad fuel pump relay - plugged fuel filter - bad fuel pump - wiring connection to fuel pump
