i got a 2000 4.0 v6 ford explorer xlt and its got a problem starting. every time i go out to start it i turn the key and it starts but dies unless i have my foot on the gas pedal. then while my foots on the gas it revs up real high but goes back down without moving my foot. its also got a real bad idle while pressing the gas while its cold. and i know its cold but it seems worse than any other cold start idle ive had in a different car. but after it gets warmed up it drives forever. i drove it all the way back from wyoming to illinois and then back to wyoming. with no problems. i dont know if its the altitude or what. but it gets worse with cold and being in laramie wyoming its only ganna get colder. my roommate told me that it could be my fuel pump but ive seen on here that it could be my 02 sensors. i dont really got alot of money so i cant be throwin all of this stuff at it at one time. any ideas on what it could be?
