ok guys i have a weird issue that ive never experienced in any vehicle
what im working with is a 2003 4x4 w/the 4.6 V8
when its cold out(well its 38 degrees today thats cold for orlando) after the explorer warms up after about 10 minutes of driving and i have the heat on it will just cut off.
now it only happens when stopped, either parked or at a stop light. when it happens i can throw it back in park and turn it right back on and it starts right up. or if its parked i just turn the ignition of then right back on and it starts right up either way.
it has only happened to me when the heater is running but my wife has said it happened to her just when it was cold and the heat was off.
does anyone have any idea why this might happen? im not so concerned right now, unless you fellas give me any insight as to why i might need to be, because it starts right back up every time.
so help me out guys if you have any ideas
thanks
MODS - feel free to move this, i just wanted it where guys with 2003's will see it - thx
