Hey guys. So the other night when I was driving home from work, my explorer died at least 8 times. I would put it in neutral and it would start right back up. At first it was just when I would come to a stop sign or stop light. But then as I was driving it would die going down the road anywhere from 20 to 55MPH.
To keep it from dying, I would keep it revved up, but that didn't work either, the RPMS would just drop below 500, then it would die again. At points I was flooring it and the RPMS would jump to 3k, then down to 300 or so, then jump back up and back down, then die again.
My explorer runs REALLY GREAT when its nice outside. This particular night, it hadn't rained but it was foggy and the hood was soaked from all the moisture in the air. What could be causing this.
Funny thing, when I got home I shut it off, changed my clothes and went out for the night, drove fine to my friends house which was 10 miles away, and drove fine home afterwards. It did this one other time a couple months ago, where it would die and start right back up.
Also there is other times where it is raining and it drives just fine. I just don't get it!
Any advice would be appreciated I am putting in new plugs/wires/coil pack in a couple weeks. Could this be the problem?
