StuffButter
RTFM whats that asking the question more then once
FordTechMakuloco I’ve noticed something similar to my 2006 Ford explore. I had to get it towed to a auto repair place and they fixed it but it still feels sluggish.
.
Hi! The acedelco coils are good? Thanks
We need more of these 2006-2010 explorer videos!
More 4.6 engine)
I agree......
I definitely agree. I have a 2006 Mountaineer. And I think I have the same issue described in the video. Gonna switch out my coils for some MSD blaster coils.
AGREED! 4.6!
07 ford expolorer 4.0 lt not power on closter
This is what makes you a Master Technician. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us diy-ers.
Excellent Advice. I've had transmission issues for years. Recently, my local mechanic told me the PCM is shot. Most recently the engine was running really rough and the transmission kicked frequently. Replacing the ignition coils fixed all these issues. My engine and transmission are running smoothly now.
THANK YOU!! This video absolutely saved my truck! I was at my limit trying to figure out what was wrong and was about to give up. Under $300 and I replaced all the coils with Motorcraft parts and the truck runs perfectly now.
Ha! I just went thru the same exact thing! Ordered coils from Amazon and replaced one bad coil and the engine ran fine. Decided a week later to replace the other 7. IMMEDIATELY faced the check engine, wrench and traction control lights with tranny slamming in and out of gear especially while stopped. Time ti get better coil packs. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom!
Was getting a TP sensor error, Communication Bus Fault, Pump motor circuit failure, steering wheel angle sensor failure. Wrench light, check engine light. Funny thing is, It never produced a misfire code. It was shifting hard into second gear. I changed all the plugs and coils. Runs like new now. Thank you for the video, it saved me a lot of $. Your're a top notch mechanic in my view.
Wow!! Would never have thought that could be a problem!! Great video!!
AMAZING DIAGNOSIS AND TIP.....HAD SAME ISSUE 4 YEARS AGO WITH A VW MK5.....WE WERE PULLING HAIRS OFF.....FOUND IT AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS WHEN MESSING WITH THE HARNESS...GREAT LESSON LEARNED...
Hi Brian just want to take a sec. And say thank you I'm hoping to learn as much as I can about my vehicle with all of your videos I try my best to save up for the proper tools and preach specs on everything to my friends and especielly my uncle who seems to go through ford's faster then I can count lol but my point is I wouldn't be able to help myself none the less them with any of the issues we encounter if it wasn't for your time and dedication put into these videos which help us all out. Thanks man your very appreciated 👍🏼🙂
I changed the plugs on a Mercury Mountaineer,then I put it in reverse and all hell broke loose. I would've NEVER figured this out. Thank you x100 You are my hero.
My mind was blown for sure. Great channel.
Brian I can tell you prefer diagnostic over heavy mechanical, good job!!
Nice, I have fixed a few transmission problems on the past years, on expeditions and f150 (5.4) by just drying the coil or replacing it. I like how you explain things man. Keep up the good work
I know this is a old post but do you mind explaining because I'm having transmission issues right now and I have had it rebuilt. I have a 04 expedition 5.4l
This video really help out. I was working on a 07 explorer 4.6l. Its my brothers father in law. He took it to three different mechanics. One of them opened the transmission and they told him he had to change the TCM. and The mechanic told him to put the tranny down he charge $$$$$5000. and he said it was a lot of money but good thing he didnt do. Finally, they could not figure anything, they told him to take it to the diler he didnt take it . and he already wanted to sell it because they did not find the problem. the first day that I went to look at it i scaned and gave me codes of the coil 2 and the trottle body posision sensor and it was running like on 3rd so slow to pick up it wasnt shiften. Im glad that i watched this video which I had doubts about this. but decided to change all the coils and incredible is well without problems running good .
What’s up brother,I just want to THANK YOU for this video it was VERY,VERY helpful,that is exactly what happened with my 2007 explorer sport, Thank you again
Thank you so much for the info. I just replaced the VCT solenoid on bank 1 along with a leaking radiator. Started having this same trans problem. Thought maybe I lost too much trans fluid. It only took 1/4 of a quart. Still had trans problem. Until I looked this up on your site. Replaced all 8 coils which were Motorcraft. Problem solved. Keep up the great work.
Awesome diagnosis… Great information
Crazy how EMI can cause those types of issues. You'd think manufacturers would safeguard against this sort of thing. Apparently not!
Great vid - another great tip for the notebook. 👍
You just saved my cheap, shade tree mechanic, ass... Again. Had the CEL, Code U0101 and clunking into reverse. Figured this 15 year old beast was through. Just not worth putting much more money into it. After watching your video, I figured I'd swap some coils in from my garage queen Town Car, but they aren't the same. So, I swapped coils from one side to the other. Cleared code and problem is gone. Ordered another set from Amazon to replace the cheap ones ordered from there in 2018. God bless you!
Amazing information! Thank you!
I have learned years ago,electronic gear,cannot beat OEM stuff. Had a 1995 Jimmy, O2 sensor's was here issue. That was my last chevy,been a Ford guy ever since,and in fact fords before that Chevrolet, temporary insanity. Been a Ford employee last 20 years,keep up the great work, 🇨🇦
awesome....I bet you feel good about that diagnosis. fantastic job!
I have heard of EMF causing faults. A very hard thing to track down. Good Job.
Excellent information. I once had a similar issue it was on a lincoln SUV I could not get the AC compressor to kick on I was chasing my tail in circles, decided to take a break and take care of a miss fire the vehicle had low and behold once the miss fire was fixed the AC compressor was back online and everything was good!!
Thanks amigo for this video ! I was going to be crazy! 3 months and nobody could solve my explorer pronlem !
This summer i had this problem...
Tracs light on...ABS light on...into safe mode...U1900 ABS CODE.
I do not know if the PCM U0101 CODE was set because i only checked codes AFTER shutting down. So after changing MAF sensor did not help at all...i changed 4 coils with Accels ( on passengerside only) and also changed all plugs with Motorcraft. Have NOT had this trouble return even once in the 6 mo. since. The pass.side coils were absolutely the problem. Owning a Ford is never boring...or sensical.
Ford Makuloco is the BEST Ford tech on YT...THE only ONE we even need!
Man if it wasn't for you if never thought about that your a hero brother that worked.
You're a Beast of a mechanic. 👊🏽👍🏽
Great video and information! Thanks!

Great troubleshooting! Here's one to share: I had a 2010 that seemed to be slipping or failing to upshift out of 2nd or third gear when hot. The coolant was low, forcing the electric fan clutch to remain engaged. The over-revving fan felt and sounded like a transmission problem.
The leak was at the rear of the truck where the hoses enter the rear heater.
Thanks for the help, saved me from accidentally quoting out a $1200 tcm/valve body assy to the customer. Glad i looked online cuz what i found odd was that the tcm wud only fail the network test with KOER, but passes the test when its in KOEO. U would never think to check for coils pulling down the network under normal diag circumstances. 07sport trac had aftermarket coil on bank 2 cyl#8 tat wud intermittently misfire. Confirmed the issue by swapping it out with a oem coil from a mustang i was also working on. Sure enough the issue was gone when i roadtested the vehicle.
2006 mercury mountaineer fixed after experiencing EXACT symptoms. Originally changed misfiring coil packs with DURALAST brand (junk) approx 6 months prior to onset of shifting problems and random codes. Immediately after watching this video changed coil packs back to new OEM coil packs and completely remedied all shifting and computer problems. 🤟🏼 HUGE help. Thx.
Wow I can’t believe this man thanks that’s what it was!!! just replaced the transmission and it still was doing it I wish I seen this video earlier 😢 crazy!!!!!
hello, please do you have any idea about ford explorer 2013 climate control setting?, I have one ford explorer 2013 that I am restoring it AC system for a customer, it has shuts two compressor before it was brought to my garage, I have fix the issues its working now but I have some the compressor temperature going 150 df on a day when the outside temp is about 43, I later heard noise on the bearing although its not a new compressor it's used one, that has leaks at the shaft seal,
1, my question is, is 150 df temperature of the AC compressor unusual or normal?
2, second question, whats the difference between the front and rear expansion valve of ford explorer 2013 model, I tore both apart and it doesn't seem to have any difference,
3, how do we know counterfeit spare parts from genuine one from motorcraft?
thanks
Thank you so much. I put some aluminum foil around that wiring harness and it is shifting normal again. My transmission guy was pretty sure the transmission needed rebuilt and I was close to replacing all of the solenoids to see if that would fix it so you saved me a lot of money. I replaced the coil packs less than a year ago with Mallory ones and did not want to do it again so I tried the foil.
Hello Brian - Thank's for this great tip .
This totally worked for me ! 2007 ford explorer started bucking and transmission was acting crazy. . It gave traction control and wrench symbol. I didn't know where to start. The CEL came on after a little while and gave codes PO306 and P0101' changed the coil on cylinder 6, everything was back to normal, thanks !
Hi! Was that the 4.6? Thanks
Great, informative information here. On my 2009 Explorer Sport 4.6, a faulty battery was causing the voltage to drop so much during starting, that it would confuse the electronics and cause the dreaded Orange Wrench of Death. Transmission would stay in 3rd gear only. Amazing that a battery would cause the symptoms of a transmission failure. Needless to say, I am NOT a fan of all these electronics on newer vehicles.
Thanks man!!! Another great video!!!
Pretty darn cool. Great diag sir. Thanks!
Thanks for the video. This did the trick!
Wow!!!
Good job!!!
Nice find, and great that you share your knowledge! May I ask about my PowerShift gearbox? I have an EU Ford Mondeo with a 6DCT450 MPS6 gearbox, and would like to know if there is a way to make the gearbox go back in to learning mode, as the shifts have been too aggressive since the last garage serviced it and did a gearbox oil change? Many thanks for any info on this gearbox or PowerShift hints, tips and inside information in general you could provide!
Wow! Thanks for doing this video!
You're a badass. Plain and simple.
Nice job Brian
As always, outstanding sir
Thanks for the video and the solution - I had the EXACT same symptoms - all came about in a single trip - yellow wrench & engine shut down, followed by slight miss, check engine light, traction control light, yellow wrench again, and that same bam-bam-bam shifting, even when sitting still. Installed 4 new coils on that side, everything back to perfect normal. My 2006 is burgundy just like in the video - common thread?
Thank you good job and information 👍
fixed my issue, love the channel
What did you do to fix yours
Excellent information.
Bast info on UA-cam thank you thank
Hello, i replaced my solenoid pack. While i was doing that i stripped one screw so i didnt screw it pack in. Can that cause harsh/delayed shifting? Or is it more likely that my transmission is worn out? Thanks for your help
Thanks so much you are the Best buddy. Great video
Great video. Very informative....
Same with my 05 expedition. I trans issues , got all coils and wired changed 🔥 no more hard shifts or bad running
Thanks Mak... don't own one of these yet the lesson still applies. Best Wishes n Blessings. Keith Noneya
Thank you that solved my problem
Thank you!
After watching one of your videos on followers going bad (5.4) and helping me save a customer roughly $8,000 on a quote from a Ford dealership. Im forever a fan of your experience and ability. I work on so many off the wall vehicles, domestic and foreign. I do say though, diagnosis on a Ford is much more delicate in its own way to narrow down the cause of an issue. I enjoy the challenge.
Good old EMF, I have had instances where we wrapped wiring in braided ground shields and grounded both ends to correct the induced spikes
2013 Ford Edge V6, wrench, no engine issues, but transmission revs high and shifts aggressively. Could it be a similar issue of old coil EMI? It happened while I sat in a drive thru line.
This is the best video EVER! BOOM, the car is fixed! I thought it was time to junk the car. Had misfire cylinder 6. also had U0101 and B1900. 2006 Mountaineer. Replaced #6 coil and problem was gone. I also replaced the rest of the coils but #6 fixed it. Car was jerking like crazy and thought i needed transmission. So happy, I should send this guy $50 for the AWESOME video!!! 😃😃😃
Hi! Was yours the 4.6 or 4.0? Thanks so much
Great stuff
Off subject question.. do you have a video on 2008 or related year f150 AT cooler quick connect fitting at the radiator leaking issues? Replacement or bypass with aftermarket cooler options. No good resources online. You are by far the most reliable source for Ford tech info. 👍
THANKS SO MUCH FTM!
An engine that is misfiring could definitely cause a shifting issue. Even different style taillight bulbs can cause a vehicle to not shift into overdrive.
great video sir. sir can i ask some question and i hope u can give me some advise, i have a problem with my ac, when i turn on my ac it didnt blows cold air, in order to blow cold air i need to on my rear ac.
How about the 2006 mountaineer 4.6l? Mine started that bam bam bam and then the wrench light came on with the traction control light came on and went to limp mode. turned off the engine and restarted it and it went back to normal. and then a week later it happened again. then yesterday it did it twice.
Great info man. I got the same well almost the sama problem on a 08 mountaineer v6. It does not bang . It completely stops no forward or back . Can that be the same problem to this model?? Help pleasr thankyou.
Who gives this a thumbs down.sir you have helped me over the years with these everyday common problems on these Ford.Thank you for all your hard work and effort you put into these videos.
Probably someone that bought cheap Chinese coils! lol
@@BigDish101 or someone trolling like the FORD DEALERSHIP....uh huh...I learn so much from this video
I have the same thing going on with a 2016 ford explorer do you think the issue may bet the same ? . I have seen on some youtube videos that the throttle body on 2016 3.5 is also problematic.
It may be coincidence, but I changed my cylinder head temp. sensor on my '02 5.4 twice after getting false p1299 codes and limp mode that could be reset with a key cycle.
Would start and run fine from cold, but if I stopped for a short time, like to get gas or food, at start up of a warm engine I'd get engine light and pegged water temp needle. Turn off - pull out the key - wait a few seconds and start again and the temp gauge would go to normal and no more limp mode.
Finally got the p0305 misfire on the #5 cylinder (closest to temp sensor/harness) Bought a new Motorcraft coil pack.
It's been a couple months and no more p1299.
My 2007 4.6 4x4 Sport Trac would buck, slip and gear hunt. Thought the trans was toast. Did a Valvoline transmission fluid exchange and I haven't had a problem with it since. But my short trans dipstick was broken and I don't know where to get a new one.
Could this also apply to 2010 eddie bauier edition?
sweet fix
….you are "the man"!!….a dealer would have ripped you off for hundreds and not fixed the vehicle!!...THANK YOU!!!
U are D BOSS LOCO. Thanks for the information .
What atf fluid do you recommend for an e40d transmission in a 1998 f250 5.4 triton? With propane from the factory
I have a 08 explorer 4.0 . transmission linkage moves on trans, but will not engage into any gear. Do you have any suggestions. Thanks for making these videos. They are very helpful.
Range sensor.
@FordTechMakuloco I have an '08 mustang GT and I changed the coils and spark plugs. I have better throttle response and the shifting is better but still kinda shifting hard or not going in gear. Also, what does it mean when the OD light keeps blinking? I get that once in a while...
Crazy that electrical interference could cause that......Awesome fix.....thanks
Please I have question so my ford explore 2006 sometime when you stop in sign after that take little bit late when it’s move
Had the code/ wrench and trac light. Should the battery be disconnected after the coil change so the trans can do a relearn?
Great video
Does the 2007 Sport Trac have a transmission Vent Cap similar to the 2013 Ford Escape?
Mine does not have coil on spark plugs. Would it be the same with regular coil packs?
Thanks!
I have a 2007 explorer 6.0 / 6 cylinder What a shame you say this trick is for 6.6 motor I had the engine exchanged and at least 3 mechanics have not been able to turn off the wrench light. I'm scared to take it to a transmission shop. You are a Master Technician
I got a transmission question! I got an 04 4.6 XLT Explorer, I’m sure with sealed tranny it’s never been changed. Should I just go get a flush? Or a good change with new filter and all?
Hey there, so I recently (less than a month) got a 2012 Ford Focus Sedan, it never had the TCM replaced but is going to be in the next couple of days. Will it last? What do you think I should do..
This same thing happens to my 07 expedition, I know you said this is just for a explorer but realizing I put cheap coils on my expedition 2 yrs ago I can probably say that it’s related. I had to replace the transmission thinking it was the problem but kept doing the same thing with the newer one
My explorer with same motor/trans is doing the same thing in drive and reverse, I replaced the coils but it’s still doing the same thing, could it be the TCM?
@FordTechMakuloco Was the misfire the only code that popped up or did P0750 or P0756 pop up as well??
interesting that that code is a read only no archive or history. wiring makes a very good antenna used to run it for our crystal radios lol(i'm showing my age)
Years ago my mother had a 2007 Mercury Mountaineer Premier V8. I loved the SUV personally but my mother hated the transmission. It would shift rough after 20 minutes of driving. At one point it had issues shifting out of park, it was eventually lemon lawed after two years.
ok?
Thanks for your videos.
Question, I have a 2009 explorer 6 cylinder. The signal lights work,seatbelts warning light work,hazard light work, etc. However, I have no dings sound.
What could that be?
Thanks
I wish I could give you more than one Thumbs Up for this vid. Thanks again.
