    Key Phob Battery

    You might have to stick the key fob in the slot that is made if your fob battery is completely dead to " reset the link" if you will. I believe on the explorers its under forward cup holder pad. Just stick it in there and then turn the car on and then remove it. Not saying this will for sure...

    A mind of it's own. Anyone else?

    A mind of it's own. Anyone else?

    So, I think my ST has a mind of its own and I wanted to see if anyone else has things like this happen. Sounds - So from time to time the "Ford" digging sound when you get in and start it is just not there. Other times its normal and then there are the times that it sound like its coming from...

    Rear Sway Bar Feel

    Stiffer rear sway bar lends to less body roll. This allows effecient weight transfer and less "pushing" in the corners meaning more steering responce. The simple answer is - you can enter the corners faster and turn harder. Understeering happens when you are turning into a corner and the...

    Low end valve train, knocking noise

    Yep! I have owned a number of Turbo car from EVOs to Audi S3 & S4 that all made interesting "OMG I broke it" sounds and still, this old girl is by far the most interesting LOL.

    Low end valve train, knocking noise

    is there any way you can get a video of what you are talking about. These motors are a bit chatty and even the injectors make alot of noise too.

    Sync 3.4 Issues

    Okay, so it sounds like your APIM is trashed.... You'll have to have a new one installed and programmed to the car and latested updates loaded. not sure how much it will cost out of warranty but i do think the blue screen of death might be covered under a recall but someone here can correct me...

    Metal in Oil at 50k Miles

    So the 3.0 turbos have been know to "come apart" internally and take out motors. I have a friend that was a service advisor at ford before covid and he told me it was an issue in the earlier days of the 3.0 in the explorer. I would ask the question if you turbos are going out.... Im not 100%...

    Smell during WOT, I’m concerned…

    Im going to agree with the others here on this one. Yours is much like mine, 21' with 21K on it meaning the last person almost never drove the dang thing. chances are, you are heating elements within the drivetrain to temps it hasn't seen in a while and burning off carbon and other build up...

    Sounds like knocking or miss firing at cold start. Anyone else have this occur?

    Yeah, I think people tend to forget about the cold start fuel mapping that all cars have no matter what (gas engines anyways) So depending on how "cold" the motor and fluids are dictates the starting fuel calculations. If the motor is cold from the night before, it will dump more fuel into the...
