Not sure which Explorer injectors fit?
You do not normally need to remove an injector before contacting us. Have your Explorer year, engine size, fuel type, and trim ready.
For a 1997–1998 Explorer, also have the eighth character of the VIN ready. Certain 2001–2002 4.0L SOHC applications require a quick fitment check before ordering.

Ford Explorer fuel injector questions
Why do 1997–1998 Ford Explorers have two 4.0L injector options?
Those model years may have a 4.0L OHV engine identified by VIN X or a 4.0L SOHC engine identified by VIN E. The two engines use different injector sets, so confirm the eighth character of the VIN before ordering.
Can I choose Ford Explorer fuel injectors by year alone?
No. The model year and exact engine must agree. For example, a 2002–2003 Explorer may have a 4.0L V6 or a 4.6L V8, and those engines use different injector sets.
What is the difference between the OEM and Bosch 3rd Gen upgrade options?
The OEM option keeps the original-style injector design for the listed application. The available Bosch 3rd Gen option is an application-specific upgrade. Only choose an upgrade listed for your exact Explorer year and engine.
Should I replace one Explorer injector or the complete set?
A complete flow-matched set can provide more consistent fuel delivery across all cylinders. Proper diagnosis is still recommended before replacing injectors.
Can Ford Explorer fuel injectors be cleaned instead of replaced?
Sometimes. Dirty or restricted injectors may be restored through professional off-car cleaning and testing. Injectors that are leaking, electrically damaged, physically worn, or unable to meet the correct flow specifications should be replaced.
Need help choosing your Explorer injector set?
Call us before ordering. We can help narrow the choices using your Explorer year, engine size, engine design, fuel type, VIN identifier, and original injector number when available.
