Okay so I started to notice a problem recently after wheeling a little bit the other day.
I had been flooring it and keeping the rpms high, then when i was finished i went to leave the area and if i punch the throttle i get no response just engine bogging. I already have HORRIBLE throttle response and just a general lack of launch.
It happened to me again today, after hitting a little mud hole and cutting a donut I went to drive away and my engine started bogging again when i punched the accelerator.
Any ideas as to what this could be? I didnt start noticing the problem until that time i was wheeling and after I changed the engine to Castrol Syntentic High Mileage that very same day. I have no clue what it was running before since this is the first oil change since I've owned it, maybe that has somethign to do with it.
While I'm on the subject my transmission is acting weird or maybe just weird for me. 1st ALWAYS runs to about 4k rpms then shifts quickly into 2nd and 3rd, then runs up to about 2.5k and shifts into a real low fourth about 1.5k@55mph with me doing the least acceleration possible. Is this just how explorers are? because my moms explorer a 2001 X 4.0 2wd will shift at about 2k every time, but she also putts it around.
