- Ford Explorer xlt 2000
I have a 2000 Ford Explorer xlt, 6 cylinder petrol with 160,000 kms.
Lately I can only drive it if I feather the accelerator. It gets up to 100km/hr and cruises perfectly however if I try to overtake another vehicle or put my foot down even slightly hard on the accelerator it cuts out.
My wife drove over 3000 kms to our home town with it doing this so it can be managed.
When stationary it idles a little rough with the revs going up and down slightly and even cuts out sometimes.
Very frustrated as it has had this problem previously and the mechanics sent the computer away to be worked on and charged me $800. When I got it back, within next 2 hours the problem occurred again.
Any ideas please?
