Welcome to the club.

That was a mighty long sentence...

First, what year Ford Explorer do you drive, and is it manual or auto, how many miles, what work is done to the car, and what did you do specifically to rule out the probably causes?

Help us help you.

Thread Makers: Thread titles must summarize the technical question or problem, and the first post must include the year, trim, and any mods for your Civic.
There is a reason this is plastered all over the top of the forum. Please utilize this for EVERY tech thread you make. With out knowing what you are working on, no one can begin to efficiently help you.
