Disconect your fuel rail then one at a time just pull out and push in the new fuel injectors.

I replaced them on my 97 explorer.

The brake switch may be going bad. This happened in a 1998 Ford Taurus we own.

You need to determine whether or not it is getting fuel and spark. It needs both to start. Remove one plug wire and hold it close to the engine while someone cranks it over. There should be spark from the plug wire. If there is spark, you will have a fuel supply issue. Possible fuel pump/relay/wiring/fuel filter/injectors not working to name a few. If no spark, possible crank sensor/ignition module/wiring.

The air bag code 44 indicates that the air bag computer is not receiving a signal from the right front air bag sensor. This could be caused from defective wiring (loose wire or grounded through chafing) or the sensor being defective.

fuse, relay, loose wiring, grounding?

I think this is an electronic trans with no modulator. Overdrive is really not a gear but rather torque converter lockup. Torque converter may have completely failed.

Yes there is an adjustment. Get a helper and block the wheels (be careful). Have the helper sit in the vehicle with the engine turned off and the vehicle in park. Put the vehicle in park. Now crawl under the vehicle and on the drivers side at about the center of the trans pan you will see where the shift linkage comes out of the transmission. There should be a piece with a slot and you loosen a nut and this will allow the linkage to adjust. Adjust so it goes further into park. Do not adjust too far just a little. Check the trans linkage for play and damage, also check the motor mounts and transmission mount. This is a fairly complex task as if it is not done right your vehicle could come out of park and some one could get killed or hurt. Sometimes there can be damage to the park mechanism inside the transmission. If you feel that this is too complex for you to do go to a transmission shop, dealer, or someone that knows what they are doing. Please be careful! I hope this helps

No, transmissions can be rebuilt. If you're very handy, a manual trans can even be done by you, though I would not tackle an auto. There are shops that will replace yours with a rebuilt one for far less than a new one.
