- '98 Eddie Bauer V8 AWD
We have a 98 Explorer Eddie Bauer with the 5.0 V8, it has around 102k miles.
Lately it's been hesitating pretty bad during medium acceleration, especially when cold, and yesterday we went out of town (160 miles) and with cruise control on, when we went up a hill on the interstate the CEL would blink a few times and then go off.
So....HELP!
I'm not mechanically inclined, but...
My thoughts are to start with replacing the plugs, and plug wires, since I don't think they ever have been. What about distributor cap?
Any suggestions welcome...I don't want my wife to be without a car.
