I've heard of valve lash adjusters popping out on start up. If all else fails you might want to remove the valve covers.

Please Help! -- The Check Engine Light Is On (2001 Ford Explorer Sport) Checked The Gas Cap, Refueled With Premium And Seems To Be Running Fine -- Maybe A Bit Sluggish -- Don't Want To Go In Blind To Ford Repair Shop -- What Could It Be? Any Help Would Be Great!

Welcome to FTE, kmoktm!

The only thing is that you are in the wrong forum. Go down to the "Small Chassis Trucks".Take time and do a search first on your particular problem in the Explorer forum and if you're not satisfied then start a new thread. Tell them what engine you have, how many miles, and what problems you have. Also it might help if you tell them what (if any) modifications you have done to the engine.

Good luck.

Check your MAF sensor wire. I bet it got some oil and dirt on it. Hard to see. Get some Carb cleaner and spray it clean. Try the stock MAF sensor too.

I would bet this solves your problem.
