How to install fuel rail pressure sensor

[@stephensonge4824]

I have a 2006 Ford Explorer XLT; same engine block. I tackled replacing two leaking valve covers and this is the only video I found on how to get the air intake manifold off and back on. I have never worked on an engine to this magnitude, but this video got me half way there; at least access to the valve covers. If you ever change out the valve covers on your Explorer, you would be the first to provide instructions on how to access both sides if you could post a video of it. I was unable to find any videos getting me past the air intake manifold but with time and an extended vocabulary, I figured it out. Thanks for the video!!

[@dolceman9]

Stephen Songe Thank you Sir , unfortunately I won’t be making any videos about that SUV I gave it to a needy couple .,.

[@1998gst4611]

I did the valve cover replacement on my 06 Ford Exploder 4.0L V6 and I tell you it was a chore pain in the ass it is some piece of work b.s. work i've ever worked on. First its gotta do with removing the intake manifold. If you had to do a valve cover replacement, replace a fuel pressure sensor or anything thats under the intake manifold you would have to remove the intake manifold to get to the part your replacing. This is the worst motor i've worked on. For a long time i put up with the leaky valve cover gasket until got to the point that the oil was running down the side of the motor and onto the exhaust manifold burning off leaving smoke residue as you drive down the road so finally one day i said enough bought the intake manifold gaskets and valve cover gaskets and went to town on this motor. A year and half later i had to pull the intake manifold off again to replace a fuel pressure sensor because i was getting a P0193 engine code for fuel pressure sensor high circuit.

[@tavismaloney57]

Just wanted to say thx a million. Much appreciated. Your video plus another video gave me the confidence to do this on my own. Saved hundreds of dollars on labor work.

[@superior3384]

thank you for making this video. i just got done replacing my fuel rail pressure senser on my 2006 ford explorer 4.0l v6...thanks to you i was able to do it myself and saved myself alot of money. now i can go get it smoged and pass inspection. the engine light went away. the code cleared. thanks again.

Please relabel this video Ford Engine - 4.0L SOHC Intake Manifold / Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Replacement . I have searched for 2003 & 2006 Ford Explorer Intake Removal, but you are the only one who has the exact engine. Thank you, now i can move onto replacing my valve cover gaskets, probably make a video to support that as well.

hey jefry if you make that video ill watch it and like it. thanks

[@chuckyrico]

I've have a 02 ford explorer 4.0 today in a long time, I finally got the code P0300 mist fired I know its got to be a leak on the intake because I replace just about everything like spark plugs, all the sensor, wires etc. So I'm going to try it, wish me luck everyone. Thanks for the video I got motivated in doing it.

[@rdyma32]

I have to do my wife's explorer as well. Video definitely makes it seem easier now so thank you.

[@robjoy1515]

Had the check engine light on and consumed lots of fuel. Last month changed the egr valve. Now this fuel rail sensor is bad. So I had to tear this all apart again. However having problems getting to the last bolt in the back of the intake manifold. Sat on top of engine to try and feel this bolt but fingers are short. Almost lost my extension socket trying to find this. Frustrated trying to find this last bolt.

[@obxguy1]

The best video on youtube for this job! I have to do my 04 explorer tomorrow!

Hey all plz dont for get to pull the fuse to your fuel pump and run your car out of fuel. that is pressurized so your safe .

You gave me the confident I needed to get this done ✊🏾

[@joemonnig4501]

Thanks ! Just replaced mine with no problem thanks to you and this video

[@MrBossmustang302]

Good video as I have this version of the Explorer Fuel sensor. Later models have it externally from the intake and this helped me locate mine below the intake as the video shows. Most videos how easy external. Maybe a bit of commentary a you proceed and less of washing out intake as we get the idea. Otherwise helpful video and will tackle job when parts come from Amazon. Sensor at local suppliers was $100+ where Amazon had Bosch original at $35.

[@trappy77]

Thank you sir. Watched several videos on this. Yours was the best like and comment hope to see more like this.

[@GeorgeVassalloJr]

Wow great video Frank you weren't B.S...ing about posting your own video great job!

[@54egg]

Thanks for absolutely great video. I mentioned in a reply that using a cell phone camera (video record with light) made locating the back bolt much easier for me -- at least at my novice level of auto repair.. I was able to guide the torx wrench to bolt in seconds.

[@MrDAzEdNcOnFuSeD]

Will this apply to an 05?

[@bustacapp359]

Great video! I thought the intake bolts were the ones that stay in so’s you don’t drop them by accident into the motor!

[@ernieg2789]

thanks man video was really helpful especially cause I gotta replace both the egr valve & the pressure sensor

[@dolceman9]

Ernie Garcia Very glad to hear that

[@randythomas90]

How do you get to the bolt in the back

[@thesky1408]

Thank you very much. I changed my EGR before watching your video. I didn't remove the throttle first. I just spent too much time tying to open the two bolts holding the EGR. When putting the new EGR, one bolt broke into halves. The other one did not take it place right. It holds, but not straight and tight in its place. How to fix this problem Sir?

[@allanklingler6461]

I just finished doing this job. There is a reason you did not show the back inner manifold bolt coming out. Its not a lot of fun. If ever I meet the engineers who designed that sensor, he and I are going to come to blows.

[@sjconley52]

Allan, I'm in the process of trying to do this job on my 2007. How do you even get to the rear bolt??

[@allanklingler6461]

Feel for the little slot extrusion in the back. Look visually at the inner row of bolts. It will be inline with that row under that slotted thing....you'll have to feel your way in to it with the socked since you won't be able to see it. Practice with your finger to find the head with the tip of your finger, since you won't be able to see it. don't drop your tool since it likely will fall under the air gap of the manifold and you will have a hard time getting it back on the torques head piece... so if it was me, I would get some painters tape and tape your socket extension to the bit so it don't separate. You will thank me for that tip.

[@ZephyrusBlue]

Hopefully I get a response soon but here’s to hoping. I’ve got an ‘04 Explorer Sport Trac with the 4.0L V6 and I’m wondering just what kind of symptoms this can cause on the vehicles’ behavior? I’ve already gotten the code and such suggesting that this part be replaced, but I’d like to hear about it from someone who’s already dealt with the whole process. Thanks in advance!

[@ReeferKr3w]

I have the same car but a 2005 and tps sensor code came on I changed it but I still have this service engine light. Is it caused by the carbon build up in the intake or is the sensors

[@allanklingler6461]

By the way, the back bolt to the exhaust tube is a 1 1/16th size and the and the others are a T-30 on the top of the manifold.

[@dolceman9]

thank you all for your comments , That was my first time ever working on that car or replacing any censors and there was any videos out there at that time ,., Cheers !

[@haystack17]

I had zero issues with the T30 torx. I have the manifold completely loose. I am stuck at the exhaust tubing which is already off in this video. How on earth does that thing come off?

[@mnolasco1445]

Great video because of you video I was able to do this job. I want to add that if you use the app magnifier on samsung or android you can zoom and have the light on to assist you see the bolts. I had no trouble reaching the last bolt by the fire wall thanks to my phone with that app.

[@Luvbugs_]

question I replaced the fuel pressure sensor on 2007 ford explorer and the first time around forgot to put the nut back on (not sure what it's called it's at time 10:30 in your video) and truck rain fine. went back tightened nut and now truck wants to stall. What gives what is the tube where your tightening nut called? would really appreciate the help thanks

[@dolceman9]

Melissa Sing well that symptom could be caused by couple of things , first clean your throttle assembly real good , and u may have to replace the EGR valve , and That nut you talking about is only a tube where part of your exhaust gas recycle back to the engine . Good luck plz keep me updated

[@Luvbugs_]

So good news fixed the Explorer! Cleaned the throttle assembly and changed the air filter. Not sure that was the problem I think I over tightened that exhaust nut to tight. So I didn't tighten it quite as much this time, engine runs awesome except when you turn the air on now it wants to stall. Always another project lol

[@dolceman9]

Melissa Sing your next thing is to replace EGR ....lol

[@Luvbugs_]

Ok so here maybe a dumb question. I need to change the throttle air by-pass, and well i have no idea where it is. The engine looks just like the one in your video. 2007 explorer 4.0 v6. Any help much appreciated

[@tattedone6753]

Can you please tell me what symptoms the car gave you?

[@ArceusCS2]

Can be smell of fuel. Acceleration hesitation. Rough idle and stall when idle. And stall after hesitation to accelerate. Mines been doing it alot generally when i stop at lights and as i hit 2nd gear will shake and stall. But ignition always turns over following that. Generally after a few minutes with the car off then i will be able to turn over and drive the vehicle a bit.

[@Tomcaatt]

Undo mani bolts prop up and replace , sea foam does the cleaning , take a drive!

[@bionicsasquatch]

also the last big bolt if you have a hard time getting it loose try 50/50 ATF Transmission fluid and Acetone works great for getting stuck bolts unstuck.

[@gavinvalentino1313]

Here's a crazy idea: use a precise and small amount of a product actually designed to specifically loosen stuck bolts & seized threads, like PB Blaster.

[@mattyvapers8173]

how much seafoam are you supposed to put

[@badrbasrah3335]

Hi Where can I find this sensor in KIA SPORTAGE 2014 gdi

[@chrisgooch4919]

I replaced my sensor a few months ago, but my 04 still dies... Usually after I've been running the a/c. It's still throwing the P0190 code, since you live farther south I'm sure you've been running your air. Have you had any more problems out of yours?

[@dolceman9]

No I do not have any other issues with my truck , but I have replaced 3 sensors : MAF mass air flow sensor,

[@dolceman9]

also EGR , and clean the throttle that should help a lot

[@aidensworld2478]

Is it required to apply Seafoam? I have a check engine light on my 04 Ford Explorer and it is the Fuel Pressure Sensor but my car have no bad symptoms, it works just fine, I erased the light and it came back, should I still replace it? What would happen if I leave it like this?

[@dolceman9]

Luis Celestino I would recommend replacing that pressure sensor before it gets really bad ( stalling in middle of the road ......) when it comes to sea foam you don't have to use it but I would

[@aidensworld2478]

Thank you but hey I just fonoshed replacing the sensor and the engine won't stay on is like if its not getting fuel or what can it be? It shakes as well as the exhaust pipe shakes also

[@keanukea-kamehameha3812]

Loved this video. Helped me alot. Thanks mate

[@shawnmccoy2813]

Dude thanks so much...saved my ass for sure

[@prvtlongarm]

I couldn't get the one all the way in the back . I couldn't see it. I don't know how he did it here or if he even did it here but I didn't have to take the manifold all the way off. If you loosen all the bolts except the one in the back, you can lift a bit and get your hand underneath. It's pretty easy.

[@albe1500]

Do you know where I can find the fuel rail pressure sensor online? Already look on Autozone and O'reilly.

[@HACKS886]

Can anyone help me, well i installed the whole sensor and everything. Now when i start the truck i get Smoke coming out from the Bottom of the Throttle, unknown if its the gas pipe i reconnected or any fumes that fell into any hot exhaust pipe underneath. Please HELP

[@lebeckchris]

Did you figure it out? I think you tightened the air box down too tight on the opposite side of the throttle body. You have to tighten down all bolts slowly and evenly. Only tighten each bolt a little at a time. If you start tightening the air box bolt near the throttle body first, do the next airbox bolt opposite side closest to the battery. Then start using criss cross patterns tightenig each bolt a little. You probally should be tightening each bolt about 3-4 times by the time you are done. Do the same when tightening the throttle body down because it has a gasket/spacer also. If you begin the first bolt by tightening it too much, the opposite side will lift up and not seal where the gaskets are at. Then air will escape your airbox robbing you of vacuum pressure, then your car wont run right.
