'93 Sport Starting Difficulty and Clutch Questions
Hello All. Car starts immediately, but wants to die and will do so if I
don't pump the gas pedal a few times for a period of about 10 seconds to keep it running. It then runs fine and warms up normally. Car runs and accelerates great after that. I am the original owner of this vehicle and it has 103K miles on it. I am still on the original clutch and am curious to how long a clutch usually lasts on the Explorer. To date, there is no slippage that I can detect and it still seems to shift great. Thanks in advance. Steve |

Thanks in >advance. Steve > If you know how to drive a clutch (and you do if it's lasted that long) it will easily last that long and longer. If you don't know how to drive a clutch you can burn it up in 25K. |

Us city slickers gotta shift 20 times a mile, even more here in San Francisco hills. |
