My Polish friend: Yiak Zhumasch! (I don't know if that's spelled right, but I try)
I'm a little tied up but I'll check back in a while and try to help.
Here in New York it is ZHIMNO!! (cold- again, may not be spelled right- my Polish is not very good, and those are the only words I remember)

Welcome, my Polish breathren. Wondoloski is my name. I don't know one bit of Polish. It pretty much died off with my great-grandmother.
The rpm's going up down is a pretty common problem with Explorers. If yours runs normally when warm, I don't think it should be a problem.
I have had a similar problem with the check engine light going on when it rains in about 3 different cars I have owned. They all turned out to have the same problem: bad oxygen sensor. Once it was replaced, all 3 cars returned to normal.

Mr. Dyrkacz,
It appears that you either have a '97 or '98 Explorer. If your Explorer has the 4.0L SOHC V6, then this is a commons sign of leaking lower intake manifold o-rings. Here in the U.S.A. Ford extended the warranty to 6 years, 72K miles through Owner Notification Program 00M12. I know some European countries will honor it as well. Have your local Ford dealer get in touch with Ford USA and ask about ONP 00M12. It's possible that you might get it fixed at no charge.

My technicians tell me that the oxygen sensors are in the catalytic converters, so check the exhaust system. Hope this helps.

Your O2 sensors are on your exhaust pipes. You have one on the pipe between the exhaust manifold and the catalytic converter for each side. Depending on your engine you will also have one or two more on the pipe(s) between the catalytic converter and the muffler. If you have the OHV 4.0L then you have one after the cat, if you have the SOHC or V8 then you have two after tha cats. They are not in the catalytic converter. Look for a small electrical device that is mounted to your exhaust pipes between your engine and your muffler. Each one has a wire harness going to it.
