1997 Ford Explorer
Hey,
I am new to this site and I have a 97 Ford Explorer. I bought it in 07 and it was nice until like 2 years ago when it started to give me doubts. It never died on me,yet, but everyday when I first start it for the day, if I put it in gear right away, it will stay idle for a while and then kick into gear and just jump. I would drive but it keeps kicking off and on until it is warmed up, I guess because it goes away. Oh and also the OD light would come on also. I just need to know if anyone out there could elaborate on that and hook me up. I love my truck, and I need my truck.
Thank you very much

Your vehicle has OBDII. Find a place that can read the codes. Shop for a trans shop that is familiar with that trans--you might get lucky. New fluid and some additive, maybe. What engine do you have, the OHV or the SOHC?
