I have a 1995 Ford Explorer XLT and I would say ( no )
You would have to move the steering wheel abruptly at a
higher rate of speed or get it to slide sideways and then hit a
curb or something like that , or enter a ditch at a sharp angle
to get it to roll over . Of course , it does have a higher centre of
gravity then say a Ford Mustang , so as long as you don't
over react with the steering wheel if something like a flat tire
occurs on the highway , it seems fine to me
On a 1998 Ford Explorer XLT For the 4.0 litre Single Over Head Cam , V6 , and the 5.0 litre V8 ( bank 2 is the drivers side of the engine )
That's the 4.0 liter SOHC ( single over head cam ) V6 engine in a 1998 Ford Explorer XLT ( the 8th " character " of your VIN is an " E " ) / or you could have the 5.0 liter V8 engine , which is an over head valve design , the 8th character of your VIN would be a " P "
Yes , depending on the model you could have either the 4.0 liter SOHC ( single over head cam ) or the 4.0 liter EFI which is an over head valve design ======================================================== If you look at the VIN , the 8th " character " is an " E " if the engine is the Ford 4.0 liter , SOHC , V6 engine and an " X " if it is the 4.0 liter OHV / pushrod design engine from the factory on a 1998 Ford Explorer
I have a 1998 Ford Explorer EB with 119700 miles. It would turn over, but not idle, and proceeded to stall once I put it in reverse. After a week of testing by my mechanic (who did not have access to Ford's computer diagnostics), he determined the computer module to the accelerator motor failed. The part was $128 for the motor and $6 for the gasket. The labor was $285, of which most of that was spent on troubleshooting without the proper Ford diagnostic equipment. I suggest you have it diagnosed at Ford first.
4.0 liter v6 ======================================================== The above answer is partially correct If you have a 1998 Ford Explorer ( XLT trim ) You could have a 4.0 liter Single Over Head Cam ( SOHC ) V6 engine or a 5.0 liter V8 engine ( which is an Over Head Valve / pushrod design engine )
The 1998 Ford Explorer was offered with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission. The manual transmission would provide more control over gear selection and potentially better fuel efficiency, while the automatic transmission would offer more convenience in stop-and-go traffic. The specific type of automatic transmission in the 1998 Ford Explorer would likely be the 4R70W, which is a four-speed electronically controlled transmission commonly found in Ford vehicles of that era.
My Explorer won't turn over; the lights come on and attempted to jump the vehicle. Where is the fuel bottom if engine does not turn over?
No , the 1998 Ford Explorer came with ( 3 ) engines : The 4.0 liter over head valve / pushrod design engine ( the 8th " character " of the VIN is an " X " ) The 4.0 liter single over head cam ( SOHC , the 8th " character " of the vin is an " E " ) and the 5.0 liter V8 engine which is an over head valve / pushrod design engine , the 8th " character " of the VIN is a " P "
On a 1998 Ford Explorer Sport : If it has the 4.0 litre EFI engine ( which is an over head valve / pushrod design engine / the 8th character of the VIN is an " X " ) there are ( 3 oxygen sensors ) If it has the 4.0 litre SOHC engine ( the 8th character of the VIN is an " E " ) there are ( 4 oxygen sensors )
This might be due to a clogged fuel filter. They are inexpensive & should be fairly easy to replace.
On a 1998 Ford Explorer : 4.0 liter V6 engine ( Over Head Valve and Single Over Head Cam versions ) firewall 3 - 6 2 - 5 1 - 4 front of vehicle ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.0 liter V8 engine firewall 4 - 8 3 - 7 2 - 6 1 - 5 front of vehicle
I'm not a mechanic / technician but from what I have read there are ( 3 ) different engine blocks for the Ford 4.0 liter Over Head Valve , V6 engine ( 1991 to 1994 Ford Explorer ) ( 1995 and 1996 Ford Explorer ) ( 1997 to 2000 Ford Explorer ) * so I would say the answer is ( no )
