* Multiple Engine Options: The 2002 Ford Explorer Sport came with several engine options (4.0L V6, 4.6L V8). The firing order varies significantly between these engines.
* Diagram Complexity: A firing order diagram involves a visual representation of the engine's cylinder arrangement and the order in which the spark plugs fire. This can be complicated to describe in text.
How to Find the Firing Order:
1. Check Your Owner's Manual: The most reliable source for this information is your vehicle's owner's manual. Look for a section on engine specifications or maintenance.
2. Consult a Repair Manual: A repair manual specific to your vehicle year and engine will contain detailed information, including firing order diagrams.
3. Online Resources: Websites like AutoZone, AllData, or Chilton offer online repair manuals that might have the information you need.
4. Look Under the Hood: There may be a sticker on the engine block itself that lists the firing order.
Important Note: Be sure to confirm the engine size before relying on any online resource.
