Can't remember, we had the explorer throw a code for something of the 9's and I definetly wanna say it was 998... Don't quote me on it though. If it is the cps it isn't a hard fix. Ill write a post here for you incase it is but if it isn't then just ignore it<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  -Changng CPS-  1) you're going to have to take yours out, and put a new one in. If you know where yours is then skip ahead. Look on the front of your block there's a harness pluging into a cap like looking plastic head. It has two screws bolting it down. 2) Id unplug the battery just for safety reasons. Then unscrew those screws and unplug the harness. 3) pull straight up and this long gear like looking sensor will come out. Inspect it for damage. Sometimes they just go out. I mean your car is 18 years old. 4) insert your new CPS. ****key steps*** make sure the piece that connect to the harness is directly facing straight towards the front  of the car. Ignoring this step will cause huge headaches later when the CPS is still acting up. If you cannot get it straight, for some reason, even though when you took the old one out it was straight, keep trying, taking it in and out. If still no luck have someone move your crankshaft using a deep socket and ratchet on the bolt on the damper pully. Just move it slowly until you get the CPS straight. 5) once you're positive it's straight, after looking at it from different angles put everything back together. 6) ***IMPORTANT STEPS*** after your car is together you HAVE to get your car on the highway no matter how rough the ride is. You need to accelerate to 60 mph and let the car slow itself down to 40. You need to do that 3 times. After that your code should disappear by itself. Hope it helps <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
