Q: Got gas in my oil
I am getting gas in my oil and my car is missing like crazy i changed plugs and wires but is still missing
My car has 192000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
If you are getting fuel into the oil then you either have a leaking injector or fuel pressure regulator. I recommend having fuel pressure checked and check the pressure regulator vacuum line to see if fuel is getting in it and replace regulator. If it is not leaking then you you have to isolate the injector that is leaking or replace all the injectors.

The only transmission interchange that might work for the 2005 Explorer with the 4.0L engine is the 2004 Explorer but even that depends on whether you have the 2WD or 4WD version of the Explorer. The F150 transmission from 2000...
