It could be your oxygen sensor. I had to replace the manifold on my 92 cabby. Couldnt get the old o2 sensor off the old manifold, so I stuck one I had laying around in it. It would start just fine and idle. Then about 2 minutes into running, it would start coughing, spitting and get black smoke out of the exhaust pipe. Going buy a new 02 sensor solved the problem. Theres a cold start circuit, then a normal running circuit. It starts fine cuz the computer ignores the 02 sensor till the engine warms up...about 2 minutes. No guarantee this the answer...but it happened to me.

What is wrong with a 2002 Ford Explorer the odometer light isn't illuminated but the ABS light and airbag light are illuminated?
I suspect multiple problems. The blank or intermittent odometer problem is a common problem in the 2002 Ford Explorer. The ABS and airbag lights are most likely a different problem than the odometer problem. For complete information on the intermittent odometer problem, see http://www.odometer-repair.com .
