your post I GUESS, means the whole car works great end to end and engine runs but the transmission fails. as most do now 1998
me playing fast and loose with century.
no miles on car told (odometer)
but most are bad this old for 100 reasons inside it
A/T boxes love to fail that is there THING.
but we check fuses.
and scan the PCM/TCM.
it must be scanned. (OBD2 tool) or as the service manual tells you you how to do that 1996 to 2000 cars some have flash codes
only for the transmission (USA car)
Gen 2 Explorer
the wiki list gen 2 boxes
as you can see there are 3 boxes used that
USA cars only
5-speed M5OD-R1 manual (4.0 L OHV)<<< NO !
5-speed M5OD-R1HD (2001-2003 Explorer Sport)
4-speed 4R55E automatic (4.0 L 1995-1996)
4-speed 4R70W automatic (V8 models) (special ratios)
5-speed 5R55E automatic (4.0 L 1997-2001)

so as you can see the engine dictates the box and not told.
and the 55E is TCM electronics controlled
same with 70w
so must be scanned or guess 100 times or more.

Check the 8th digit of your vin and the letter (engine) is probably listed as "W". This engine was used in the 03-04-and 05 models. Take note though I purchased a 2000 V6 explorer new which was suppose to come with the 4.0 V6 SOHC engine. A year of so later I was doing some minor work and noticed I had the old 4.0 pushrod engine in the vehicle. I immediately check with Ford and learned some leftover engines from model year 1999, which used both V6 engines, were installed in the 2000 model. I was instructed to check the engine code with the vin. Sure enough the code was for the older engine. Using an engine with the same engine code should work.

How to replace upper intake manifold gaskets - Ford Explorer

Depends which engine is in your car. The cavalier had 5 diff engine models. You will need to check part numbers. Most bolt on and maintenance parts are most likely the same. Major parts most likely much different. Contact your local auto part store and reference the two parts in mind of changing.
Here's an engine list.
2.2 L LN2 OHV I4
2.2 L L61 DOHC I4
2.2 L L42 DOHC I4
2.3 L LD2 DOHC I4
2.4 L LD9 DOHC I4

For 2001 Ford Mustang 3.8L SFI 6cyl engine, with which your specific vehicle is equipped, can be most easily identified by the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), located on either the VIN tag, mounted in the upper left-hand corner of the instrument panel, or on the vehicle certification label, located on the driver-s side door pillar. The engine identifying code is the 8th digit of the VIN. The engine VIN codes are as follows:



FIG: Engine identification codes may also be found on a label affixed to the left side rocker arm cover

4-3.8L SFI (OHV) engine N-4.0L SFI (SOHC) engine H-4.6L SFI (SOHC) engine V-4.6L SFI (DOHC) engine
X-4.6L SFI (SOHC) engine

Hope helps.

The idle air control (IAC) valve on my 4.0 L OHV is on the driver's side of the engine mounted on the side of the upper "plastic" intake manifold.
Removing the valve and CLEANING it does wonders for its operation ability.

check your coil I have seen alot of the fords with the ohv 3.0 engines that the coils will have cracks in the plastic and jump fire ground out etc. if thats not it take some carb cleaner and spary around your intake and listen for changes in the running for a vacum leak. hope this helps.

have the 02 sensors checked
