2004 Ford Explorer 4.0 V6. The EGR valve, can that make your car not shift? It comes on flashing 'Overdrive Off' and then doesn't want to shift or move.

Question edited for clarity and add punctuation. Question moved to model category. No, the EGR Valve recirculates exhaust gases to burn them a bit more and has no link to the transmission. You need an auto electrician or a transmission specialist. https://www.google.com/search?q=2004+ford+explorer+4.0+overdrive+off+light+flashing ..

2006 Ford Explorer. Intermittent fuel pump issue?

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to model category. It is difficult to test things like relays when you have an intermittent fault because it could test okay 9 times out of 10. They are not expensive, I would swap out the fuel pump relay for a new one. If that doesn't fix it, you need and auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer. They can record what is happening when things go wrong.

1999 Ford Explorer. Why does my car "shimmy" above 50 mph.

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to model category. It could be so many things. Look at the YouTube channel called 'Just Rolled In'. United States vehicles in terrible condition being driven into garages all across America. It could be so many things and needs to be put up on a hoist and checked. In no particular order. Loose wheel lugs or only 1 wheel lug bald tires over inflated or under inflated tires deformed tires with bulges, wheels out of balance bent rims worn tie rod ends worn wheel bearings broken suspension springs failed shock absorber struts rusted out parts on anything holding the wheels worn sway bar bushes (called 'sway bar' for good reason) Not an exhaustive list, but likely one of the above. more here https://www.google.com/search?q=1999+Ford+Explorer.+Why+does+my+car+%22shimmy%22+above+50+mph ..

1991 Ford Explorer 4.0. It has high revs 2000-2500 and do not fall.

  1. Throttle control problems: A sticky throttle control or a malfunctioning throttle position sensor could be causing the high revs.
  2. Ignition system issues: A faulty ignition module or spark plugs could cause the engine to run rich, causing high revs.
  3. Vacuum leaks: A vacuum leak can cause the engine to run lean, leading to high revs. Check for any visible leaks in the vacuum lines and hoses.
  4. Fuel system problems: A clogged fuel filter, a failing fuel pump, or a malfunctioning fuel pressure regulator could cause high revs.
  5. EGR valve: A clogged or sticking EGR valve could cause the engine to rev high.
It's recommended to have a professional mechanic diagnose the issue using an OBD-II scanner to retrieve the error codes and perform a proper diagnosis. Based on the error codes and the symptoms, they can determine the root cause of the problem and recommend the necessary repairs.

1998 Ford Explorer. Where is starting solenoid located on it please?

Check your fuse boxes and the fusible link in the wiring harness. If you've lost power to the engine computer, bypassing the ignition switch won't help you.

Ok 05 ford explorer crank but won't start. had a mobile mechanic to checked and he said that it is the key because the chip is faulty

The chip in the key is part of the anti-theft system and immobilizer. Did the vehicle start after the fuel pump was changed? It is normal to disconnect the battery when removing fuel pump, and after a battery disconnect, the anti-theft system need to be reset.
  1. Insert the key into the driver's side door lock.
  2. Turn the key once, but not all the way to unlock the door. Leave the key in this position for 40-60 seconds. ...
  3. Do this again, but turn the key in the opposite direction.
  4. Remove the key from the door, get into your Ford, and start the engine. The system should be reset.
