Ok well for some time now my explorer has been giving me alot of problems.
The check engine light has been on way before this problem started tho..
When i had it scaned i got alot of error codes like 6 of them and they all idicated a Oxygen problem.
Acording to what they told me i figured it was because i cut out my 2 cats and changed the muffler abit anyway thats not my problem the problem is when i start up my car it starts to "backfire" well sorta its more like its lossing power and dont want to keep the engine ruinning i give it some gass all goes fine.
Recently now i noticed when i acelerate whille driving it will hold back for a cople of secs then burst me with power not shure if it could be a fuel pump or injector problem cause i keep runing my tanl verry low on gass till the point the check gague light comes on allso when im at a red light "idle" the car starts to vibrate and lose power never douse turn off tho im hoping its not the transmision cause i had a similar problem last year then one day messing around i blew my trans and when i put a new one in all my problems went away ... im hoping its a fuel system problem tho oh and when i took my car to autozone to get a oil change they said i needed to have my engine flushed and my injectors cleaned i dont trust them tho i live in puerto rico and most people here are out to rip everyone off and i allso heard that a engine flush can be bad for the engine and for $100 it cost to clean the damn injectors for that ill buy new performance injectors anyway i hope my problem can get resolved :roll:
Sorry for my english it aint that great
