Hey all!
Been running like a champ. but had a very weird issue yesterday.
After a good couple hour run up a mountain and back I was putting along a forest road; low speed, level. Explorer stalled dead as if the engine was just turned off. Tried starting, and wouldn't catch.
Popped the hood and looked around, didn't see anything, then some guys came up behind me and I talked with them a bit, then tried cranking it over again and it fired right up and began running like a champ again. Took my chances and ran down to the river where I was going. everything was fine, drove home okay.
Don't understand why it did that, it is hard to be confident now.
Recently replaced : fuel pump after failure -fuel filter -fuel pressure regulator which failed after new fuel pump installed.
Searched here and similar issues point to IAC, Crankshaft position sensor, or computer issue??
Is there any way to troubleshoot these options any further? Or do I just start buying stuff?
thanks
