Not the 94-95 style one no. You don't want that one anyway it's probably worse than what you have now lol. The 87-93 HO intake will fit just fine, but the power increase is almost nil over SO. I took my HO intake off and put a Cobra intake on, and that did make some noticeable difference.

Buy an Explorer intake.They are cheaper than ever and a great improvement even over the H.O parts.

well what im really trying to to is figure out all the vacuum lines for the intake, ive recently replaced the pcv valve and noticed that it was coming out of the 1/2 inch hose to the bottom of the pcv and the two smaller connections were removed and the valve was just free hanging underneath the manifold, but i havent found any other disconnected vacuum lines i beleive this may be the reason why the motor is idling erraticly and stalling most of the time any ideas?

If you have vacuum leaks there's definitely going to be issues. The MAP sensor, for one thing, is connected by a vacuum line to the upper intake, make sure that is all sound and nothing is loose/cracked/leaking.

i checked out the MAP sensor it all looks good, just the pcv connections im worried about, if the 2 smaller hoses arent connected there, then they are most likely connected in the wrong place
