What is the pigtail harness for mas air flow sensor thanks for video it's helps me out

[@victorarevalo108]

Awesome video great job. I also had the issues with the harness I was surprised that didn't get Engine code with those wires shorted together maybe PCM just compensated.

[@xoconnor6740]

Is there a pigtail for the connector on the front side of the Throttle? The little 2 wire connecter going into what looks like a throttle motor.

Hey Mr platinum. I watch your videos all the time. I think your videos on ford explorers are the how to video bible for explorers. I have a special love for explorers despite how so many people hate them. I have 2 explorers, 1 is a 2002 and the other a 2006. The engine in the 2006 is shot so I was wondering if I can put the 2002 explorer engine in the 2006 vehicle. If so would it be difficult to do so, because of extra work to make things work.

[@iamdjnam]

Yes you definitely can!

[@Fortuna_716]

Think this is my next step, have an 06 4.0l eddie blower, replaced plugs, wires, air filter, egr, battery, tps connector. Last night engine stalled, couldnt get it to go without repeatedly stepping on accelerator, almost like there was no response. Once I got it up to 2k rpm I could drive, but engine would not idle and stalled as soon as I slowed down to a stop. Took me like 3 hours to get home

[@michaelpolaski4186]

I have the same vehicle and have the exact same problem. Any solutions?

[@Fortuna_716]

@michaelpolaski4186 yessir, for me it turned out I had to holes burned into the intake manifold, look into the grooves right behind the throttle body. I patched them with fiber glass and high heat epoxy, worked fine. BUT, what caused that to happen? My catalytic converters were clogged! FUCK, so now I need new cats, looking at aftermarket options. I also noticed my crankshaft pulley, harmonic balancer is wobbling. Things pissing me off, as of right now its sitting in my driveway. Have to get the parts and fuck w it, Im honestly ready to just swap the engine w a reman. Its probanly cheaper, I seen some brand new ones for 1200. Also my thermostat housing is leaking, common problem on those, they makes one piece aluminum replacement ones, I cant think of the brand rn.

[@commonsenseaintsocommonnomo]

I got an aluminum thermostat housing but what is a renam engine?

[@Fortuna_716]

@@commonsenseaintsocommonnomo remanufactured engine, can get them online for about 1200. I got an aluminum thermostat housing but it's crap, the only good one is manufactured by simmonz for 120 bucks

Quick question I have recently bought a 2007 ford explorer sport trac and was changing the mas air flow sensor and I disconnected the connector and I seen that the cables were all connected. Like someone (crooked mechanic) stripped the protective colored wires and black taped them all together. Ummmm that shouldn't be right? Lol. My guess if it's not a crooked mechanic tried to bamboozle the previous owner of the truck. I just ordered another connector through Amazon. So just wondering there not supposed to be all touching connected together

[@iamdjnam]

They shouldn’t touch. That connector gets so brittle from the heat that they crack. It probably wasn’t a crooked mechanic, just a dumb owner that thought tape would cure everything

[@Keshawn_Petersen_235]

thanks a bunch 👍👍👍👍👍

Do you happen to have a link to the hormonic balancer bolt or can I reuse it can I also reuse the bolts on the flywheel/flex plate if not do you also know a link to where I can but them oem 2005 Ford Mustang automatic Thanks

[@cotywheeler7872]

Hey quick question my 2007 explorer eddie bauer SUV has a throttle problem that has a few times on the go this year. When I slow down/ stopped and then step on the gas again; sometimes the trottle will not respond but the engine is still running. Is there that a result of the throttle positioning sensor or the the throttle body or anything else?

[@commonsenseaintsocommonnomo]

I just got the code for my TPS waiting on it brandnew code went off I'm going to still replace it tho

[@chrisalarcon7013]

I noticed you also replaced the EGR valve. Was this the problem all along? Thanks

[@iamdjnam]

No but it had a code for insufficient flow

[@mekdon246]

Had the same issue replaced but still in limp mode. Currently trying to figure it out now. Any ideas p2107 is the trouble code.

[@iamdjnam]

Did you clear the code? Harness or APPS may be the issue.

[@mekdon246]

I have the same issue p2107 p2110. replaced TB but still in limp mode. Any ideas on where to look?

@platinum Garage I had the same wire issue with my 07 explorer sport track and getting error code p0171 lean on bank one. I taped up the wires on the tps sensor and ran good for a little while (3 hours)and back to the way it was. when its at idle the gouge jumps up and down at stop lights and then when I do a cold start in the morning the motor does not race normally at warm up. it just goes down to low idle. also, at stop lights it will be 1500 rpms when coming to a light and stopped then after a few seconds just drops down to 1000 making the engine chug. I was thinking maybe EGR Valve (changed that out) and that made it run good for a few hours (with engine light on ) but again back to the hesitation at idle again. I cleaned the mass air sensor and going to change out the pigtail this weekend. This is really driving me crazy but is it possible the wire issue would be causing all this or could it a a tps sensor too? My neighbor said he rarely sees tps sensors go bad. Also, when I taped up the wires on the tps sensor the engine light went away for those 3 hours but did come back on. wonder if I need to do a relearn or anything? Great job on the video and appreciate all the tips and ideas.

[@iamdjnam]

Remove the negative terminal on the battery. Replace the harness. Get a used throttle body. See what happens.

[@davidenglert2799]

@@iamdjnam issue with my 07 ford explorer sport track was the vacuum hose coming out of the top of the intake around the back of the motor into a purge valve? the hose was completely blown out and split in half. Thank you for all your help!! great videos and keep up the great work. Dave
