I cannot believe that no one bothered to reply on this subject. It turns out that it is a very simple situation to troubleshoot if you can read a chiltons manual covering the Explorer, follow directions and use a basic multimeter. All one has to do is meter the resistence (ohms) between the POSITIVE battery cable (disconected from battery of course) and the ignition coils which are perched on top of motor in plain view. I had to simply remove the plug wire at the coil. Then by placing the red (pos) lead of multimeter on the positive battery cable and inserting the black lead of meter in ignition coil.......and the multimeter set to read OHMS at the 200 setting on meter, the meter should indicate a reading of +0.3 to +1.0 OHMS on each coil. Any lower or higher reading than +0.3 to +1.0 on any coil then the coil module is bad. No Exceptions what-so-ever.

I am amazed the gurus here could not respond to this. I am an accountant with no automotive expierence at all. I found the problem and resolved it in less than half a day.

People, save your time by getting a manual and follow the directions. What a waste of time this site was for me.

Thank for nothing. |-)

Here..here...!

Well said Seabronc........

Uh, ....I think it's "UN"believable ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> & gett'n & answer here is often a matter of timing.

I would venture to guess that 90% of this boards users are something other than mechanics by trade.... so you're in good company.

I've seen lawyers even, that could work on a vehicle. B)

Getting advice/help/troubleshooting via electronic screen is a raw science at best.

You did the right thing by using the tools at hand (books & brain) to solve your problem. good job..! This board should be a second opinion and/or a last resort.

But, keep watching...! You'll see "hit the nail on the head" the first time, many times here.

O COME ON LETS BE SENSIBLE HERE every one is entitled to their own openion. thats what these forms are all about. their shouldn't be any namecalling or such childest things. if he felt like he got no help here then its what seabronc said.

"We are sorry we had nothing to offer you . Apparently we don't have anyone here that drives an Explorer"

this is "broncozone" right??? we might know some stuff about other fords but we cant just rub our cristle balls and see what the problem is with a truck across the usa or even overseas!!

lets but all of our hard feelings aside and have a good old time here and help each other out..... if we cant then their are plenty of other good forms out there in this world that might help your topic out more

Thanks

I've been in this forum for awhile and I've even had stuff go unanswered. I tend to shrug it off or ask again later on. Sometimes the right person to answer your questions might not log in for awhile and that makes it difficult to get a timely answer.

P.S. This site has been great!

lol exactly ive had alot of questions either get off topic screwed up or just trown away . .. . no one can know everything

A specialist is a person who is able to solve some predefined class of problems or to execute well some class of tasks, therefore specialists exist in every domain of human activity.

we unlike you specialize in our domian of trucks broncos and other related Fords explores arent as related as most pickups are like the definition says no one can know everything

infact im a audio person but i love ford thats why im a full supporter of this site

 

[Captain p4]

You guys are being really nice to this tool.. haha.

sometimes you get an answer in minutes othertimes days like it was said above this is a user board no people sit and monitor this 24/7 most of us have real jobs and that said why dont you take your oppinions to an explorer site think i remember this being called BRONCO zone and there are several sites devoted to the ford exploder ( no that was not a typo i meant it ever since ford decided to make a socermom suv the quality has dropped for all trucks except the true F series in my oppinion)

very true the only thing i trust from ford are there trucks . . . .. . . . .most new cars . . . .. arent very provoking . .. . . oldies yeah

 

[wtfdissux]

dont get me started on Ford cars they rank right up there with GM remaking the GTO and winding up with a souped up Cavelier or better yet the Dale Earnhart Monte Carlo being a fwd V-6 bet he rolled a few times in the grave when that came out

[timster24]

its an explorer which is nothing more than a ranger with extra sheet metal and windows.

GO TO A RBV FORUM.

I can name about 4 or 5 off the top of my head. I use this one for my bronco, and TRS for my explorer and rangers, crazy idea I know.

and I think I might be the only one here with an explorer. oh well, guess I dont live here. READ YOUR OWN DAMN MANUAL, I do
