hey yall got another question,
im currently deployed and the explorer is having some issues. my wife says it is very difficult to start in the morning and stalls ALOT. it also stalls when its hot not as much but still alot. my buddy is looking at the manual and it says to check the fuel injectors. neither one of us know how to check the injectors. anyone else had these issues? i would love input before i have to start throwing parts at it. im not sure if its a fuel or air issue
 






It must be throwing a check engine light, so get the code(s) pulled from a local auto parts store for free and post them up here.
 






i have a scanner and it has no codes

That makes no sense. It should be giving a lean or rich condition, or skewed MAF values, or misfires, or something. I would start with simple stuff, like looking around the engine bay for something lose our out of place. Check fuel pressure, check for any obstruction of the air intake, make sure the battery is up to snuff, and look around for any loose wiring.
