Hi,
I've read a few threads, but cannot find anything that matches my problem. My explorer (4.0) starts great the first time of the day or after sitting for a while. But I cannot run a 20 minute errand and expect it to start again. It cranks, almost catches, or catches and idles at 200-400 and then dies. This has happened for the last 2 months.
Further, the rig recently started losing power under load. e.g. going uphills. I replaced the 02 sensor and fuel filter. The battery spark plug cables look fine.
So my next guess is fuel pump, but when I turn the key I can hear the damned thing whine, so I know it's at least partially working. Advice is welcome!! Thanks.
