2003 Ford Explorer ran hot
I have a 2003 ford explorer 4.0 V6 driving
one day it all of a sudden got hot pulled
over immediately and shut it off. Had it
towed home changed the thermostat and
put a new water pump on it . It is running
rough like a fouled plug or vacuum leak. I'm
going to drive it down the road tomorrow to
see if it runs hot anymore. Had it started at
an idol in the yard and I left it running for
about 30 minutes and it did not run hot and
the gauge did not go up however my
service engine soon light is blinking off and
on and it is running rough . If I do take it
down the road and it runs hot what could it
be? I only know what my brothers have
tought me so any help would be greatly
appreciated thank you
