Hi all,
I was driving my explorer the other day when it started to miss like it was running out of fuel. I pulled over and there was no power even though the engine remained on. (Had a full tank)
The engine light came on and the engine went from idling ok to almost stalling then back to idling ok again. Also I noticed a knocking noise from the top of the engine which was starting to sound rough.
I could drive slowly forward but if I put my foot down a little bit the engine would nearly stall.
I had the vehicle towed to a mechanic a week ago and they can not find the fault. The mechanic said the computer indicates a transmission issue but the transmission has been fine.
An efi specialist has looked at the vehicle and suggested maybe the exhaust was blocked but after checking this is not the case. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance .
