You do not need to remove an injector to ask for help.
Most Explorer owners are having a shop handle the repair. Have your Explorer year, engine size, and VIN 8th character ready if it is a 1997 or 1998 model.
If a repair shop is doing the work, have the technician call us with the vehicle details before the order is placed. We will help narrow the choices. Certain 2001-2002 4.0L SOHC applications require a quick fitment check.

Each set is cleaned and tested before it is sold.

Ford Explorer fuel injector questions
Why do 1997-1998 Explorers have two 4.0L injector options?
Those model years can have either the 4.0L OHV engine, identified as VIN X, or the 4.0L SOHC engine, identified as VIN E. They use different injector sets. Confirm the engine before ordering.
Can I choose an Explorer injector set by year alone?
No. Your year and engine must agree. For example, 2002-2003 Explorers can have either a 4.0L V6 or 4.6L V8, with different injector sets.
What is the difference between OEM and 3rd Gen upgrade options?
Both choices are made for the specific application listed. Choose the OEM set when you want the original-style replacement, or select the available 3rd Gen option listed for your exact application. Do not substitute by engine size alone.
Should I replace one injector or the complete set?
When a complete matched set is available, it is generally the better choice because it provides consistent fuel delivery across the engine.
What should I have ready for fitment help?
Have your Explorer year, engine size, and trim ready. For a 1997-1998 Explorer, also have the VIN 8th character ready. A repair shop can call us with the vehicle information if they are doing the installation.
