96 Ford Explorer loss of power.

[ckperdue]

I began having problems with my 96 Ford Explorer last week. When you first started driving, it would be fine. However, after driving about 5 or 10 miles, it will start to miss and lose power, but the motor doesn't die.

We changed the fuel filter, which was full of black gas. At first, it seemed to be fixed. But the next time I drove very far, it did it again. We took the fuel filter back off and the gas in it was clear.

Anyone have any suggestions of what the problem could be? Possibly fuel pump? What should I check or do now? I appreciate any advice anyone has.

Welcome to the forum. Your best bet is to fuel pressure test the system. If its below the spec minimum then you might wanna replace it

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread to the stock 95-01 section. Do you have a check engine light turn on occasionally when this problem happens?
