i have a 2001 Green Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4.0 liters [not 4x4] pics will come soon
aside that i am also here because i Stared to have a problem with my Truck,
when the Truck is Cold and i Start the Truck and it starts to choke and sometimes Turn off - to avoid this i have to Step on the accelerator a bit
Things i have done to fix it but did not work:
-Change Fuel Filter
-Change all 6 Spark-plugs with cables
-Change air intake But Not the Sensor and Cleaned the Sensor too
-Used Seafoam
-Test for alternator failure[auto parts tester]
-New battery
-Cleaned the air flow sensor

is had the check engine light
i CAN NOT use the Scanner Because it was unplugged by dealer
[Note that i do take care of the Truck and have regular oil change and all other regular maintenance ]~Truck currently at 172,000 mileage
Hope you guys can help me and Thank you for your time
need more info of the truck feel free to ask
~BTW nice Trucks you all have :)

The scanner was unplugged by the dealer? Did you mean the OBDII diagnostic connector; why in the world would they do that? Did you try to actually connect a scanner and found it could not connect? Troubleshooting that would be the first step. If you have some evidence that the dealer disconnected the OBDII connector (perhaps unintentionally), they should fix that - and apologize.
Without the benefit of pulling trouble codes, anything we suggest wouldn't be much more than a guess. Having said that, try cleaning the IAC (idle air control).
