2001 ford explorer trac
I have a 2001 ford explorer sports trac 4.6 it runs good most of the time but some times it loses power,likes its straving for gas then all of a sudden it will run good for a few days then it will act up again. does anyone have any ideas of what it may be?
 






You don't have a 4.6L V8 engine in a 2001 Sport Trac. They only came with the 4.0L SOHC V6.

Is your check engine light on? Does it work?

I'd start with doing a tune-up. Spark plugs, plug wires, fuel filter, air filter, PCV valve, clean the MAF sensor and throttle body, put in some fuel system/injector cleaner. Also be sure to check the PCV elbow and hose. They tend to rot and/or split.

If none of the above helps, it might be time to replace your fuel pump.
 






ok thx will do and will let you know
