air filter 96 5.0 explorer

what type of air filter is used for a 96 explorer 5.0 im using the

fram 8141 but it keeps clapsing causing the emgine light to come on.

any ideas

Take out the air cleaner. There is an inlet hole in your airbox where the

air comes in from the front of the vehicle. Make sure nothing is obstructing

that tube. You may have to remove the cover over the headlights to get

accesss to the front of it.

I use a Fram AIR HOG, Don't seem to be having the problem that you are.

Any chance you are getting a lot of water (or other liquid like oil) in your

intake? There is no way the filter should be collapsing assuming it is

staying relatively clean and dry. If a filter gets wet, (or incredibly

dirty) the engine vacuum will collapse it.
