I have a 2003 ford explorer 4.0 SOHC 220K miles, I have done alot of maintenance on this vehicle over the years, but yesterday the engine began to stall in traffic, it shook, I pushed on the gas and it was sluggish going forward, I stopped again, tried to push on the accelerator and I believe the engine revved but received no response from the wheels.
I so far I believe the fuel pump is working as my front fuel injector O ring is still leaking under the rail when I turn the key to the on position. the starter turns the engine over but it doesn't sound like I am getting any effort of the engine starting. I have already tried swapping out the coil pack incase that was the issue. There are currently no codes on the dash besides check gauge and service engine soon which has always been on.
when it turns over it doesn't sound like anything is hitting or scraping, when it died it didn't sound like anything rough happened.
The timing chains, head gaskets, valve lifters, alternator, waterpump, sparkplugs, wires, have all been replaced within 20k miles.
Does anyone have any ideas? After typing this up I will be checking the spark plug wires for resistance and check each spark plug for fouling, but maybe its a clogged catalytic converter or my fuel pressure is low from a clogged fuel filter?
