I bought a '91 Explorer (4.0L V6) a few months back and it had an issue where it ran sluggish when the engine was cold and then would run normally when I ran it for a couple minutes. For that issue I replaced the plugs and that seemed to fix it......until a couple weeks ago. Now it runs sluggish, from a cold start, when it's under load. It seems to run decently when I'm barely pressing on the gas but can't give it too much more before it starts to run like it's running on 5/6 cylinders. Again, it seems to get better as the engine warms up.
Other than the plugs, i've also replaced the spark plug wires and have ran a few courses of fuel injector cleaner through my tank.
On a side note, just in case this could be a cause to the problem, I currently am missing the exhaust system from the cat all the way back because it rusted off (good times).
Can anyone offer some suggestions to what might be causing this? Could it be an ignition coil?
