1997 Ford Explorer V6 SOHC
Question:
We have a problem with our 1997 Ford Explorer. The oil gauge suddenly drops to zero pressure when we make a right had turn, and the check gauge light comes on. When I straighten the vehicle out it goes back to normal. There is no problem with it when I start it or when it is running on the highway, just when I turn right. Lately it has developled a rattling noise, which I have been told is a sticky tappet.. thanks for your help. — Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

or that rattling noise could you your chain tensioners going south, shredding and distributing throughout your engine. 97-01 SOHC v-6, built in St. Louis and Louisville KY are under an owner notification from Ford. My ‘00 is currently in the shop getting a new engine seeing as my timing chain jumped a few teeth due to a broken tensioner. Fortunately I have an extended warranty.
