2000 Ford Explorer Repair Question
Asked on March 11, 2012
Ford 4.0 ohv ports 4,5,and 6 very wet. !,2,and 3 looks normal. What would cause only one bank to flood out?
New fuel pump,upper intake gaskets,seals,plugs and wires.Can't check for vacuum leak due to the fact that it will not run over a few seconds at a time.Test port pressure is 60/65psi. The only way to start the engine is to energize and de energize the fuel pump relay due to flooding of cyl 4,5 and 6. P.S this is the same 4.0 ohv that would turn over but would not start on previous question two days ago.

did you noid injectors to see if they pulse or are on all the time?

they do pulse. I think i may have an answer to this.When the engine did start up there was a TON of white smoke and condensation. I bet that the intake gasket is blown on that bank. Might be a head gasket but compression doesn't suggest it.Your thought on this would be appreciated. Think much

white smoke is either raw gas or moisture or maybe both? are you suggesting coolant leak?
